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.
