Feministic technological advances.

By Phineas G. in Allegories And Alcohol

Study: Women like tech toys more than shoes. (H/T: ace)

An Oxygen Network survey released Tuesday found that more than three out of four women said they’d choose the TV over a diamond solitaire necklace. Women preferred a top-of-the-line cellphone to designer shoes by a similar margin. And a little white iPod narrowly trumped a little black dress*.

Welcome ladies one and all to the age of information and portable music. Actually I’m not surprised by this. Once you get out of the “younger” crowd women seem, at least to me, to accept and adjust to change better than men. It seems there are way more middle aged women iPods than men, of course they’re probably stealing their kid’s just to watch them cry.

Hand in hand with women embracing technology comes women demanded better, smarter pr0n, never happy are you ladies? I did however learn one thing in the article about women and their on-line cravings. … the scene in Conquest would have caught my eye had I not been wearing Birkenstocks at the time. (Birks, as you probably know, are as effective as a cold shower, albeit more comfortable.) Stay away from the chick wearing Birkenstocks. Okay, I guess I already knew that, especially if she’s wearing a peasant dress and a tie-dyed tank top, stupid hippies.

There’s always a downside. Always. And the downside to women embracing technology. Arriana Huffington is handing out advice on relationships and sex and green living and cooking. Fabulous, just fabulous. I can’t wait for relationship advice from Arriana, Al Franken, Roger L. Simon and the rest of teh HuffPo crew.

It could always be worse though. They could be vLogging it.

All in all I guess I’m amazed by people being surprised that women enjoy the finer electronic things in life. It wasn’t long ago that women pressed, and by pressed I mean nagged, men into creating dish and clothes washing machines to help with the chores, soon after that the microwave revolutionized cooking.

With all these advances you’d think we men have provided you’d think we would be rewarded. Instead what do we get? To sleep on the couch.

*Jennifer Aniston did not participate in this survey as she was too busy trying to set the time on her VCR.

Heh.Heh. You said vlogging.

And I reckon I’m just a dinosaur; have an old style cell phone, do NOT own an iPod, and I need to buy a new washing machine. Mmmm, maybe that’s why no one has asked me out…need to have an iPod strapped to my ears?

I would much rather have the shoes!

Manolo Blahniks are much more interesting than an iPod.

Taking notes for a rebuttal post…..

I don’t own an iPod but I do have about 50 pairs of shoes and about 6 LBD’s.

I only have seven pairs of shoes, if you count the thigh high leather bitch boots. That’s not many compared to, say, Bobgirrl. :mrgreen:

In contrast, my technogeek tendencies betray me. iPod, two laptops, digital camera, two external hard drives, a jump drive, a zillion applications of various sorts, 5000 fonts, and so many programming books that I’ll never get through them.

I think I need an intervention, but I really want a Blackberry.
