If you have a vagina.
- ovi256 16y agoI don't care if you're sexist, just keep it out of HN mkay ? 3/10, almost chuckled.
- dagw 16y agoIn what way was that sexist? As far as I can see there is no menswear section. The most you can accuse the original comment of is being insensitive to transvestites.
- ovi256 16y agoOh wow, didn't notice that actually. I guess the formulation triggered my reaction more than anything.
- zingo 16y ago"If you are a women" would have sufficed, or more correctly "If you want to buy women's clothing" e.g. as a present. I've noticed many comments reflect a typical consumer mindset i.e. people aren't interested in things unless they are the target audience and can use or buy it.
- robotron 16y agoI perhaps should have worded it differently but was trying to make my statement as simply as possible. I'm actually speaking from a business standpoint - this new site/feature has been marketed pretty heavily. "A new way to shop for fashion", "Google wants to dress you", etc. all in arguably locations that probably skew male. I haven't seen any mention of it being targeted only to those wanting to purchase women's clothing and think the message is off because of that.
- dagw 16y agoSadly that seems to be the case. Unless I'm missing something there doesn't seem to be too much there for those of us with a penis. Seems like a bit of missed opportunity if you ask me.
- yanw 16y agoAt this time, Boutiques is only available in the U.S. and only for women’s fashion, but we plan to expand in the future
