Male and Female explained through.....A Computer...

We have been getting a load of 'the hoff' for too many post in a row already..so I thought its time for a change at least..cause I can forsee another 2 David Hasslehoff post coming..

And so I was surfing through the net looking for good viral mails to forward to my colleagues, and I found THIS..

'A Spanish teacher was explaining to her class that in Spanish nouns are either masculine or feminine. 'House'' for instance, is feminine: ''la casa.'' ''Pencil,'' however, is masculine: "el lapiz.''
A student asked, ''What gender is 'computer'?''

Instead of giving the answer, the teacher split the class into two groups, male and female, and asked them to decide for themselves whether "computer' should be a masculine or a feminine noun. Each group was asked to give four reasons for its recommendation.

The men's group decided that ''computer'' should definitely be of the feminine gender (''la computer''), because:

1. No one but their creator understands their internal logic;
2. The native language they use to communicate with other computers is impossible to understand for everyone else;
3. Even the smallest mistakes are stored in long term memory for possible later retrieval;
4. As soon as you make a commitment to one, you find yourself spending half your pay cheque on accessories for it.

The women's group, however, concluded that computers should be Masculine (''el computer''), because:
1. In order to do anything with them, you have to turn them on;
2. They have a lot of data but still can't think for themselves;
3. They are supposed to help you solve problems, but half the time they ARE the problem;
4. As soon as you commit to one, you realize that if you had waited a little longer, you could have got a better model.

The women won. '

I disagree in ALL counts of what the women's group claim, though there are a certain truth to it.

Number 1 is so true, but come on in order for YOU all to get going we need to turn you on too..with some Marvin Gaye song, candle light dinner. So its NOT entirely true

Number 2 is NOT true, if we did not have a mind of our own, there will be alot of things that will not take place. e.g. Malaysia gotten independance and it is what it is now cause 4 MEN were using their head..though Malaysia is abit not so right..RIGHT now..and if our species weren't thinking for ourself, we would have thought the world is a flat board, we would not have radio, planes, TANKS, and we wont know about gravity..

Number 3 is NOT that true, everytime we have a problem..mostly its caused by girls, you cannot blame the computer for being incompetent if you dont know how to use it. Its like the most asked question in almost all computer service call centre..

Service Dude "Hello..bla bla bla..how can I help you??"
Caller "Where is the 'Any' key??"

you cannot blame us for being incompetent cause you dont know where the 'Any' key is...

Number 4 will ALWAYS ALWAYS stand true, but dont you think it applies both ways???considering the way the women's group objectify males..

So the female argument is not strong enough..
