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.
