<Sigh>  I'll try to be polite about this...

I just don't buy it.  I can't buy Ranma giving up his manhood willingly, that
easily.  He values his masculinity too much.  Akane also seems to be pretty selfish
here... Ranma has to change to conform to her standards, but she doesn't have to
accomodate his.

I also weary at the gender stereotypes that pop up in this sort of fic... it seems
that in every fic where Ranma gets stuck as a girl, it's expected of him to wear
only feminine clothes, and to behave in a stereotypically feminine manner.  The
curse does not change his personality, and it's not fair to expect Ranma to act in a
manner in which he's uncomfortable.  Hell, a woman doesn't have to live up to these
stereotypes anymore unless she wants to... so why should a woman who once was a man?
