It should really be something like family acceptance factor. Your spouse is usually not the only person living with you for long periods of time you'd ideally like to accomodate as a permanent co-user of shared spaces. That said, this writer never says anything about the general idea being wife-approvable as far as I can tell, just that putting a homelab in the living room will lead to a divorce. That is already gender-neutral but at least so far also not true. My homelab is in my living room and I haven't divorced. I had to wallmount a very large media cabinet in the television nook and cut holes for USB fans into it, and use fanless mini-PCs rather than 500 decibel used servers, but you can't even tell it's there if I don't tell you. The article you linked even says right up top this is widely thought to be a sexist term but also different than what the guy here means. The article here is about being considerate of how you use limited shared space but the Wiki is about design elements being attractive to people who care what something looks like instead of just what it does. Stereotypically, it would have been the woman in the heteronormative relationships that cared but certainly that isn't the case in my house. My wife loves gadgets and buys random crap all the time and leaves them laying around wherever is most convenient. I'm the one that cares deeply about neatness and my living space actually looking like a living space and not like I live in a data center.
