Get a life.

Funny, I only had long nails when I was a corporate rodent. Now that I am a lady of leisure, I keep them short so that I can do fun stuff like racing cars and digging around in the garden.

I agree that the claim that the iPhone is sexist is stupid, but really, folks, how judgemental.

Sexist . . My god!

Are Treadmills sexist because they dont work with High Heels?

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! WELL SAID

I thought the whole point of long nails was to show that you were so well off you dont need to do anything with your hands. In that case why the F do you need an I phone. Puuhleeese

What’s lame is that people wish to take every little thing that makes a woman look feminine and call it oppressive, or put the women down for it. It may not be your thing. It may be something you wanted and couldn’t have, but putting a feminist spin on everything you don’t like cheapens the concept.

And if the phone doesn’t suit your needs, no one is forcing you to buy it!

People want the tiny, fit in your clutch/pant pocket/shirt pocket, slim sized phones; with allll the funky features, and that’s exactly what Apple gave to us. They did their best, now ladies/’chunky’ fingers stop complaining. If you need a damn phone to be accommodated to you, then find one that is.

As for the stylus, the Chinese have an iPhone knockoff that has to be used with a stylus. It’s called the M8 HiPhone or something along those lines.

LAME

or maybe it’s because i’m under 30, so i get how computerized things work.

Yes… sexism is an emotion… just as hatred, disapproval, and elitism are all emotions. You can’t be prejudice toward anything without emotion. Irrationality is a byproduct of emotional interference.

You could only really claim unfair disrimination if long fingernals were an involuntary disability. Stupid stupid stupid.

I kinda feel I’m happy with my SE P1i. The touchscreen it has reacts both to my fingers, nails, stylus and whatnot. And the special keypad makes SMS writing a dream on clouds! Tactile interface FTW!!! Nothing can replace that!

I don’t shit just to denigrate those born without assholes.

If you have long nails you have a problem using ALL 21st century tech.

The city of San Francisco isn’t designed to allow you to walk around in a corset either, and it isn’t because it was made to not allow corsets. It is because it is a modern city.

Should I be able to complain that the Iphone doesn’t work well on horseback?

Ladies, grow up and join the 21st century.
If you put style before life functions then you are no differnt than women who perform cliteradectomy or feet binding on their daughters.

PS-Men can have long nails too. But women call them slobs.

One fashion style I really really could do without, this idea that we’re supposed to have long nails….

cut ‘em, already!

(Didn’t SNL do some fake commercial about how men could get “Ladyfingers” to use the iPhone? I know I saw something like that, somewhere.)

Now I’m not agreeing that it’s misogynistic, and I don’t like how women think everything is sexist, and minorities think everything is racist, etc etc.

But why shouldn’t a stylus work? If I paid $500 for some stupid phone, I should think it would accommodate styluses. Or is that styli?

Who’s being misogynist, hmm?

Anyway, near the bottom of the article came this quote (referring to why she doesn’t just trim her nails): “It’s the machine’s job to accommodate its users, not the other way around,”

Um, no. Not even close. You have to learn how to program your TiVo, you have to practice with your speech-to-text software, and if your deodorant give you a rash, then dammit, you might have to try a different brand.

because thats not how the underlying MULTI touch electronict work. there is no fisical layer you push down, as was with older touchscreens. it need coductifity to work.

The iPhone itself cannot have an emotion as it is an inanimate object.

Secondly:

Finger nails that are of a length such as to prevent you from performing any task are an elected nuisance by the yielder of said nails.

Translated:

If you want your iPhone to work for you, cut your fu#!ing finger nails.

This is the ugly side of human rights over-activism.

I don’t remember “It pleases all of the people, all of the time” being among Jobs’ bullet points.

Discriminating against the short nail crowd is back scratches and the ability to remove caked on debris from dishes.
