Came here to post about this. I am clearly not the target demographic (though there's logic in place for me), but asking me which player is offsides and then my two options are "I'm a female, A" or "I'm a female, just show me a picture of Beckham" is.. sigh.
Then I choose the former to avoid a track of assumptions and I'm told "You're a woman that knows her sports, that's hot!" and "I wish I had a fembot like you," (this one is actually kind of cute, out of context of the others) and because I didn't know the final product was underwear (again, maybe a UK brand thing) "The best way to a man is through his pants," was somewhat confusing.
In the end, I just want to buy my SO something nice, not get a barrage of condescending, assumptuous banter in the process. Additionally, I wasn't actually 100% which player was offsides, so I automatically felt like I didn't belong and it was because of my gender. That's a terrible way to make a user feel if, in the end, you're just trying to sell them something.
