Thanks for responding. Certainly not hateful, no, but reducing women to wives, and then to their shapes. Men have complex shapes too; why not have said "like yours"? As you say, the majority of Engadget's readers are probably men; is this going to make whatever women are here feel welcome? Would you have said it in a woman's physical presence, or would you have thought it comes across as "laddish" and a bit demeaning? Give it a thought.
Now that we've thrown 'em off the trail, use the form below to get in touch with the people at Engadget. Please fill in all of the required fields because they're required.
The title is priceless!
The title is over-the-top sexist crap.
@male but offended,
Sexist, really? So you're saying it's somehow discriminating or meant as hatred towards women? Pfff.
Fact is, a woman's shape is infinitely more complex than a flat circuit board and the vast majority of our readers are men.
The only point you can challenge me on is the possibility of our readers (or editors) being lucky enough to trick one into marring them.
