Is it odd that all women's technology?

[dark eyes]

goes to help them do chores easier, while technology created gaming, porn, and social media for men?

[Ya Coffee]

I think that says a lot - Technology helps men play at home while women work at home.

[Leo D]

Its your perception that separates these two into genders. I dont see it like that.

men do chores. Women play games.

[Willbewill]

hmmm...so how is this technology of yahoo answers helping you do your house work?

[The Great Superpie]

Technology for men also includes microsoft office tools- powerpoint for presentations at work, excel for calculations, word for letter writing, and doing BUSINESS. Don't give me bullshit about how technology helps men play.

I find it odd that you don't know women use social media...

Or that you are only able to identify vacuum cleaners and Facebook among all the technological wonders out there.


There's also those computer thingies used for work and play.

And then there's, you know, central heating and air conditioning.

Don't forget cars, trains, and aeroplanes.

You know how farmers are able to grow enough food to feed everyone? Yeah, that's technology.

Phones! You have those at work and at home, right?

Buildings and roads are constructed with the aid of... technology.

The fact you have a life expectency approaching 80, you may thank technology for.

You know how you can turn on a Garmin GPS and get directions to and from nearly anywhere in the world? This seemingly simple device intercepts radio communications from a network of satellites launched into geosynchronous, low earth orbit. NASA manages to keep these things in place while dogging countless amounts of space debris so your directions to WalMart aren't suddenly cut off. These satellites use incredible feats of math to triangulate where you are at within feet all while taking into consideration the time compression caused by the difference in gravity from where it is at to where you are at.

Technology does all this for you.


Should I go on? Do you get the point yet?

*sigh* I didn't think so...

[WWGSD]

That is certainly an odd view to have, not at all supported by the real world.

[Common Sense]

Technology is technology. As a male, I don't do my laundry by hand. I use the same washer and dryer a woman would. Both men and women use computers. Women certainly can gab on the phone.

Women use social media more so than men. If you are going to cherry pick examples to fit such a ridiculous claim, at least cherry pick examples that are actually consistent with your claim.

Refrigerator
Electric Range
Vacuum cleaner
Blender
Microwave
Washing/drying machines

You seem to equate these to "women's technology." I have all of them in my house and I am the only one to use them. If I were to stop using all of these, some woman would magically appear to operate them for me?

Do you also watch non-adult video entertainment? Do you use computers for work and play? Porn and gaming pushed all of these items to their maximum potential. That nylon hoseiry that you (guessing) and millions of other women like to use was originally developed to replace silk for parachutes, flak vests, and tires in WWII. Even technology seemingly aimed at men still has many uses for women as well.

By the way, you don't have to use the washer and dryer if you want. Go ahead and grab a tub and washboard.

I'm pretty sure that heavy machinery was invented to help men do physically-demanding work.

I've also long suspected that power plants, medical devices, automobiles and the like were intended to be useful, as well.

And, I've heard that computers were, in fact, invented for work - and not for play.

Just thought I'd throw in throw in those little tidbits to the conversation.
