   Gadgets For Women

   A fairly sexist point of view. Sounds like the old "the ladies can pick the color" point of view from the automakers in the '50's. Women read specs just like any (male) consumer does. The writer must be my mother's age (mid-60's) if she doesn't know what a sub-woofer is. She should just ask her daughter for help and stop kidding herself.

   It's true that the article presents a stereotypical point of view, but that doesn't necessarily mean it's not valid in pointing out trends. I doubt that anyone believes that all women are like that - and I doubt that anyone believes that these traits are not age-specific in some way or another.
