Don't you know that people in technology (and large corporations) strive to be asexual, androgynous, colorless and devoid of any emotion. Our goal is to produce things like un controversial power point slides for other robots. Have a great day. C’mon Boris:

Should we not be able to comment on stuff like this, then we are surely doomed. It's pretty hard to be a feminist (or a subscriber to any other -ism) in a world where comments are deemed to be inappropriate. If you wanna have a swing at Prince, that's up to you. And hey, I live in Sweden, a country who has a government that used tax payers money to finance feminist porn. Well, if anything the whole thing is really a comment on existing Prince lyrics.

As a card-carrying feminist (yes, we have cards) this is the sort of stuff that gives the cause a bad name and allows people to ignore the real issues. As you were.

I mean, hey, it's infogrpahic based on a pop song that is widely known as well as regularly played on the radio. What's the problem? I'd second the "lighten up a bit" statement.

I just don't think it's funny either. It's lame and awkward, not witty. I’m a feminist and I don’t find this offensive. I just don’t think it’s funny either. It’s lame and awkward, not witty.
