They're inside, you see
I'm so, SO tired of hearing about women in relationships who get hand-me-down electronics. A case in point: dude's wife needs a computer, so he uses that as an excuse to buy himself a new computer and give her the old one. He's hardly the first man to do this, but it has to stop!
Women: if you need a computer, BUY YOURSELF A FRIGGIN' COMPUTER. You have just as much of a right to a decent computer as your husband/boyfriend/brother. If he tries to justify it by saying he needs a new one "for work" or some such, tell him to get his boss to buy him one. If he's freelance, he should have claimed the purchase of his current machine as a business expense. Thus, he shouldn't just be giving it to you anyway.
No, really, there is no excuse today for the weak trembling woman act. Every woman who tries it should be shot.

Geez, next thing you know, you'll be asking for 'equal rights'! Have you considered that we, as men, are trying to make it easy on the little lady by giving her a tried and true, tested and debugged, system that we ourselves held so dear to our hearts?
::sounds almost convincing, will have to try that out next time...::
