Girls are usually off the hook, if they're watching the likes of NANA.
NANA is one of the few exceptions I mentioned in the previous page.

If they're watching say, PreCure and they're in the 20s, they'll be seen somewhat child-ish, but again is let off the hook more so than guys.
Unfair, isn't it?

If they're watching say, Bleach and talking yaoi fantasies, then they are thrown into the fujoshi classification.

Girls in otakudom gets away with a lot of stuff.
For example, shoujo manga aimed at young girls can get away with depiction of sex, even underage sex... but it's a big taboo in shounen manga for boys.
