Well, they will - but then they'll value women for something other than boobs and garter belts WHATEVER SHALL WE BOYS WILL BE I'M SHOCKED BRAIN 'SPLODE.

I have a hard time suspending my disbelief enough to imagine that a meeting with the world's deadliest operatives of any gender in which it's presented that they pose as call-girls would result in anything other that the brutal slaying of idiotic administrators. If only the pitch meeting had had a comparable result.

HOW ELSE WOULD YOU KNOW IT'S FOR GURLS??///

And extremely reductive in their portrayal of female characters!

She really does just seem MEAN. The type of person who is happy when she's being mean.

How disappointing.

Good point. I still think they didn't tailor their freebies to women, or to the women at the event - I think we're both saying that the issue is they tailored their freebies to an idea of women completely built on a stereotype that beauty is the most important thing to women. If they did a little research and found…

But this assumption is, "You're a woman first and regardless of your job or interest, we know you will care about how you look and doing your nails because there is a historical and current cultural stereotype about women and beauty that is more relevant here than the fact you are a professional in a field that has…

You honestly don't see a difference in the historical and current cultural contexts of how men and women are viewed and valued that makes giving women vs. men mirrors mean something different?

Why not get them a USB drive? Or headphones? Why does it need to be catered to them as women instead of catered to them as coders? (Honest question, not being rhetorical).

But your offense isn't really why this matters - this story matters because there is a narrative required there: "These women are coders. Even though they have the same job as male coders, they are different. They are different because they are women and they care about how they look. So let's get them swag that…

Or specially designed to fit the female hand.

Yeah, and if you REALLY didn't know, you'd probably just ask a woman you know or work with.

Interesting point.

OMG so much passive aggressive giggling. I can't even watch it let along be in a relationship built on it.

Because he's an asshole

Me: "I'm going to base which testimony I believe based on the individual merits of the case in question."

If you believe in one principle of the justice system don't you believe in another element of the justice system - jury selection? As long as the system works, which you believe it will, I will be kept off juries for my bias that victims are telling the truth. Since I'll never be a judge, the only way someone could go…

Ah, one of the great mysteries of life. It's not just a word-count minimum though - he has a minimum on commas and dependent clauses too.

Well, technically "murder shaming" would punishing a murder through a justice-system sentence. Being a "slut" isn't a crime, so it has to be punishing through media and cultural systems.
