So one would need to make sexist assumptions about activities (only females push prams) to interpret a sexist intent on the side of the coders (I don't like females, so no pushing pram activity!)? But isn't that kind of a circular logic requiring sexism itself to work?
What about pushing a shopping cart? Carrying your groceries up to the 6th floor, where are the activities for that?
Are they missing because of all the coders never shopping themselves?
Imho this has much more to do with the threshold of "what constitutes a track-worthy activity?", there are probably hundreds, if not thousands, of rather mundane activities that could be added for tracking, because if you up the resolution enough even breathing is burning calories.
