stupid sexist article

Techism


As a lady who knows her technology, I rather resent this article, which honors the age-old stereotype of women not liking complicated things, or, alternatively, equating tech savvy with other typically male interests, like football. As a girl, I am quite proud of my ability to KICK EVERYONE'S ASS in fantasy football. (I shouldn't say things like that, since I have no time to play this year. But whatever.) And I love technology and obsess about it everyday, and do my best to make it useful for more than the white men who design it.

I would like to know if the women they interviewed are also self-described Luddites. I may be above the mean when it comes to gadgetry, but jeebus it ain't hard to use an iPod.

It figures this article is about British people. They seem to be obsessed with creating arbitrary differences among the sexes of late.
