Did anyone notice that this site is rather sexist?
There's not a single image on that site of a woman using the laptop. The closest image is of a person who looks like they could be a woman under the "Key Features" > "Ultimate performance" text block, but since they don't show the person's face there's no way to know.
The only women on the page are at the bottom, being the support woman and the woman sitting next to the man using the laptop.
This is part of the problem that women in STEM have, and as a guy, it's really disappointing to see such a major player in the tech sector do this.
- kuschku 11y agoAs a woman in STEM: I don’t give a fuck if the people in the ads using the device are men or women or cats. (Actually, I’d love to see a major manufacturer only use cats in their ads) We have far bigger problems than this, like, for example, on the one side income equality, and on the other side people trying to fix it by banning wage negotiations. A good way to handle it would be by implementing a system – like VW did – where, up to the interview, the company only sees your CV, qualifications and references, but not age, gender or sex. This is far more useful for us right now than any kind of "let's force ads to contain 50% women"
