As to what I meant and may have been unclear: the authors are making an implicit equivalency between:
• people who will struggle to understand a website
• mothers of website makers
This is, to me, blatantly sexist — at least until they extend it to "parents of website makers".
- dijit 11y agoJesus Christ. it's a parable, he means "older people", why is it, when it's a guy it's ok but if it's a woman it's sexist. sure, his words could be "parent" but: 1) it doesn't flow 2) it's something everyone can relate to 3) we're from a generation of the largest number of single parents (which are mostly women) 4) it's an adorable method of wording, not a derogatory one. for the love of god can people stop harping on about sexism, sexism exists and you just hurt the cause when -every- time soemone says "woman" you just jump to the defensive and start slandering everyone. Don't assume malice, your life will be easier.
