Of the three people on this thread opposed to Cure Infini (MetalLuigi64, Ryanswan5, Animelovefan), only one has a profile that confirms him to be male (MetalLuigi64). Ryanswan5 is probably male, too, considering the username. Animelovefan, however, is female. Given the small sample size and the fact that all three aren't male, I don't think there's a trend of male users disliking Henri being a Cure.

Here's my view on the whole thing: Pretty Cure does have a theme of female empowerment, but we can empower females while empowering males. Boys don't need to be put down to make girls look strong. And besides, the main point of the Pretty Cure franchise is the importance of friendship. A Pretty Cure team has a very hard time functioning without all of its members. Thus, the female members of a future team would be equally as important as its male members. Also i'm a male and i support Henri as cure.

"And besides, the main point of the Pretty Cure franchise is the importance of friendship"

100% I agree. There is lot of male supporter in Pretty Cure franchise. Even if they are not cures they help as well to the girls. Forexemple Seiji or Westar and Souler (after became good) Boys and Girls can be just friends.

Funny thing is no one complaining super sentai because it always have a female member... Mybe because it has had a female member ever since the very first series (Himitsu Sentai Goanger) and having most female members in Tokusou Sentai Dekaranger. Then, we have Taiyou Sentai Sun Vulcan, not a single female in the main team but among the fandom is the best sentai in the Showa era.
