Yeah but one does have to question if segregation is actually progress

It's even funny the way the parent comment described it: a girl town right next to the normal town.

  1. I'm an uncle, not a parent
  2. I wrote another comment somewhere else: the main village contains women but there is a small group of young girls with a separate village

I think the emphasis was on you calling it the normal town, instead of "boy town".

Calling it "normal" and other "girl town" means that the "girl town" is abnormal.

Again, it's not a boy town. One town is mixed – both in age and gender but mainly adults – and one consists of a handful of young girls – which is an abnormal demographic. There is no boy town.

No, the main village contains women but there is a small village with a young girl clique. Gargamel has his niece and nephew for a visit. Might be special for smaller kids. The episodes weren't that long online (they aren't anymore but older episodes are)

Depends on the culture.

The Air Nomads were segregated in Avatar, but they were sexually progressive forever, and raised children communally. Stuff like that is fine.

I know nothing of Smurf lore, but they don’t seem like one of those repressive segregated cultures.
