This is just back to the ages whee by things are done only and exclusively for men, only this time it is women. this is sexual discrimination in the marketing society, targeting a particular segment based on perceived (and studied) behaviors... thus, stereotyping. And the negative to stereotyping is discrimination. In this case sexual. ]]>May 23rd 2009 8:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/22/dell-dumps-della-just-wants-to-be-friends/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/22/dell-dumps-della-just-wants-to-be-friends/May 23rd 2009 11:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/22/dell-dumps-della-just-wants-to-be-friends/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/22/dell-dumps-della-just-wants-to-be-friends/

Are you all really so afraid to be stereotyped that you cannot recognize what is obvious? Maybe Dell had gone overboard with some of the site, I'm not a woman so I wouldn't know how being stereotyped as a woman would make me feel, but I know that when I see a website trying to sell 'man stuff' to me using plenty of 'man stuff' stereotypical imagery I do not think 'wow that is disgusting, what pigs'.]]>May 23rd 2009 3:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/22/dell-dumps-della-just-wants-to-be-friends/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/22/dell-dumps-della-just-wants-to-be-friends/
What women want, is to be treated as people, rather than as a different species to men. Men and women do not have different needs from computers. Women and men do not interact with computers in different ways. Therefore, computers do not need to be (and generally are not) marketed towards a specific gender.

It is complete nonsense (and rather offensive) to suggest that men and women spend the majority of their computer time doing different things. Word process, web browse, and play games, *both* genders use more than 90% of their computer time doing these things. That last one, playing games, was once thought to be a male-only province, but is now known to be nearly half female.

The problem with your 'man stuff' analogy, lordmogul, is simple - computers are neither man stuff nor woman stuff. This remains true even if some idiot puts a design on a notebook lid and declares that it is now obviously a 'woman's computer'. The only way you can think of computers as 'man stuff' or 'woman stuff' is to incorrectly assume that women do different things on computers than men, which is exactly what you've done.]]>May 23rd 2009 9:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/22/dell-dumps-della-just-wants-to-be-friends/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/22/dell-dumps-della-just-wants-to-be-friends/May 22nd 2009 11:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/22/dell-dumps-della-just-wants-to-be-friends/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/22/dell-dumps-della-just-wants-to-be-friends/May 23rd 2009 2:31AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/22/dell-dumps-della-just-wants-to-be-friends/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/22/dell-dumps-della-just-wants-to-be-friends/HAHAHAHA BANNED]]>May 23rd 2009 3:21AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/22/dell-dumps-della-just-wants-to-be-friends/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/22/dell-dumps-della-just-wants-to-be-friends/
