Wrong. I think these iMacs look girly. And I'm sure many others do as well.
Got a tip for us?

Anyone else think the iMac looks, for lack of a better word, “feminine”?

I’d say the consensus of posters so far is that the colors are not “feminine” and that such ideas are sexist and outdated. You’ve got your answer.
Very good. It has been shown that 85% of statistics are made up, or is it 10%...
Of course not. There's zero chance they would let a guest decorate the hotel room.
Not understanding how you can be sure of that. Just wait and see if others post before you make up your mind.
You know the regular iMac has never come in space grey right? It’s always been either:
Assorted colours.
Pure white
Silver/white
Silver/black
For the first time you can choose either a colour or silver from the same series.
Until a couple of years ago silver and white was practically the de facto “apple colour scheme”
Then go find a woman that means something to you, and ask them. And not the inflatable kind.

No thanks. I’ll continue to hold the opinion that these computers look feminine.
Surely we’ll eventually get a wood grain option.
😂😂😂😂😂
Anyone claiming that they have no clue which gender they would assume this room belongs to is being willfully obtuse. An ounce of logic would clearly indicate that the odds are VERY, VERY high that this bedroom belongs to a woman. It's unbelievable how offended/combative people get over something as trivial as this.
Then Google hacked, tracked, manipulated, algorithmsized, gorillafiled, infringed, violated, monopolized, censored, harassed these people they performed this study upon.
And yet if I knew absolutely nothing about any of these posters, but had access to their wardrobe, I’d be able to predict their gender with near 100% accuracy (with perhaps an exception or two).
Not so sexist and outdated, it seems.
Hold it, but coming on here, knowing that it is your opinion, and then attempting to get confirmatory bias for your dogma, is arrogant at best.
Feel free to treat women with disrespect, and liken them to inate objects. Perhaps a recent poster would be happy to share there inflatable with you.
Well that's a lame party trick. If you could guess it by looking at their fridge instead...
Count the number of times this individual has attacked me personally because they dislike the way I feel about an iMac.
Can someone's gender identity be so brittle, or fragile, as to feel itself threatened by a (binary constructed) identification with a specific set of colours?
As a gay male, I've always been surrounded by nothing but women. I was raised by two women, I have two sisters, and all of my closest friends are female. I feel like I know women far better than I know men and I know that any of the many, many women in my life would agree that these computers (also the picture of the floral bedroom) would more easily appeal to a female demographic.
And while I am aware that there are men who like "girly" things and women who prefer "masculine" things, that is the exception and certainly not the norm.
Don't be obtuse. We're obviously talking about the colored ones.
As others have said, it’s more likely it’s a show bedroom, or a b/b. Using an outdated sexist practice of luring women into a subconscious decision based on colour and layout. As stated, I’ve been in hotel rooms with similar colour themes, but didn’t March to the lobby and ask for confirmation that my room was feminine! Pointless thread, highlighting sexist attitudes.
I am done having this discussion with you. You're just on a mission to be offended because someone had the audacity to have an opinion that doesn't perfectly align with your own.
