Role Reversal (Score 1)

I think I'm going to have to sit my boyfriend down in front of the computer for the same test. Why is it always, "to test the usability of X, we will use the lowest common denometer of computer knowledge- the woman"? I'm sure there are other women lined up to complain about the periodical "Look, I tested usability on my girlfriend" Slashdot story. When my bf or family/friends have computer trouble they call me. All these stories have a thick sexist undercurrent.
