I just asked my mom, and it was the first she'd heard about the new iMac today. I thought for sure she'd like the new colors, as she always buys white iPhones. She said the old silver/black iMac looks better.
The Henry was discontinued 21 years ago. Quantel's factory once made Spitfires for the RAF. The same group also owned Cosworth and they made superb MASCULINE engines for rally cars. I tried…
One of the world’s great mysteries. We may never know how anyone came to the conclusion that this fellow was, you might say, triggered.
I once witnessed one in a ~95cm wide bed (don't know how much that would be in miles, for people using the imperial system), which has made me realize that the bed in the picture could host several of them.
In the early 20th century, pink was considered to be the more masculine color instead of blue. The associating of certain colors with gender is a 20th century phenomenon.

It’s a social construct, which I think we should leave behind.

Why are pink and blue associated with gender? How do color stereotypes affect us? Aleksandar Macasev continues his series on Why that Color?
It’s a social construct, which I think we should leave behind.
Did you flip it over to check if it was a boy or girl computer?
You're the guy continuing to dig a hole after being repeatedly told getting hung up on not appearing manly over the color of your computer is your issue. Maybe stop trying to project insecurities onto everyone else.
Nope. But it looks masculine. Not that it can only be used by men, but it certainly looks more masculine than feminine.
You may be interested in knowing that females are inherently built to process color. They have far more color receptors in their eyes than males. So it's not unfounded.
I think that bedroom says a lot more about the parents than about whoever lives in there.
Some of you will remember the BBC covering the introduction of the 'Petticoat' computer for ladies.
Those look WAY better because they weren't washed out pastels like the new colors. Why even have color the silver is neutral enough to look nice in any room. If anything should of made a black for those of us that work in darkrooms and just want the computer to melt into the background.Remember those G3 iBooks with all colors ?
grown men aren't afraid to live colorfully and/or style their spaces. maybe you should get your T checked, you're sounding awfully worrisome.
You mean the one what quickly got nicknamed the Barbie laptop partly because of the colors.
No, it doesn’t look masculine or feminine.
You 1) must never have talked about color with a woman and 2) ought to know how to search the internet.
But I'll bite:
Gender based alteration in color perception - PubMed
Human beings are able to perceive hundreds of shades of color which depends on the three types of cone system and various ratios of stimulation in response to different wavelengths. Perceptually and cognitively, men and women may experience appearance of color differently. Therefore, this study...

Sex and vision II: color appearance of monochromatic lights - Biology of Sex Differences
Background Because cerebral cortex has a very large number of testosterone receptors, we examined the possible sex differences in color appearance of monochromatic lights across the visible spectrum. There is a history of men and women perceiving color differently. However, all of these studies...

Sex & vision I: Spatio-temporal resolution - Biology of Sex Differences
Background Cerebral cortex has a very large number of testosterone receptors, which could be a basis for sex differences in sensory functions. For example, audition has clear sex differences, which are related to serum testosterone levels. Of all major sensory systems only vision has not been...

Females Distinguish Colors Better While Men Excel At Tracking Fast Moving Objects
After having put young adults with normal vision through a battery of tests, scientists were able to conclude that females are better at discriminating among colors, while males excel at tracking fast-moving objects and discerning detail from a distance. These evolutionary adaptations might be linke

The eyes have it: Men and women do see things differently, study of brain's visual centers finds
The way that the visual centers of men and women’s brains works is different, finds new research. Men have greater sensitivity to fine detail and rapidly moving stimuli, but women are better at discriminating between colors.

Why Men and Women See Things Differently
A possible explanation for the disparities goes back centuries to when men generally served as hunter-gatherers and women as nurturers and child bearers.

Yep. If I had to guess, I’d say they love their daughter very much.
