I read this article today, about how some women are claiming the iphone is SEXIST! Some women are making this claim because they have a hard time using the touch screen phone because of their long acrylic nails. To me, this seems a little crazy. No one said these women MUST have an iphone, and also, no one is making them get their nails done. hmm... what do you think??

I think they need to cut their fingernails or stick to regular phones.
Debby O. Jun 19, 2008, 2:56pm UTC
How crazy is that!
**AngelEyez** a. Jun 19, 2008, 2:59pm UTC

Cheryl W. Jun 19, 2008, 3:01pm UTC
I think some people go overboard in regard to the sexist thing.
Phyllis R. Jun 19, 2008, 3:11pm UTC
Just want something else to gripe and complain about,--- I totally agree with Don B's Comment!
Amy C. Jun 19, 2008, 3:18pm UTC
LOL these women need to have to type on a keyboard for 7 1/2 hrs everyday... then they would have something to whine about just maybe... quite silly!
Adelaide M. Jun 19, 2008, 3:18pm UTC
People are getting more and more ridiculous by the day...If you can't use something because you glued something to the end of your finger, how is that Apple's fault? That's not sexist, thats someone trying to get their rent money...

They need to clip their nails.

I think cell phones are sexist because the keys are too close for a man's finger and I keep dialing the wrong numbers. I have to use my Finger Nails (ladies?)
Marianne R. Jun 19, 2008, 3:36pm UTC
LOL, don't have long nails.
juley g. Jun 19, 2008, 3:37pm UTC
I keep reading article after article about the idiots we are surrounded by and it just keeps getting worse and worse. Clip your damn nails or get a different phone, tard.
Lacey K. Jun 19, 2008, 3:38pm UTC
Wow, that's just a little ridiculous!
Angela A. Jun 19, 2008, 3:40pm UTC
That's the silliest thing I have ever heard. How can a company be sexist just because they don't sit in their offices and lively discussions about women's nails? How can they possibly forsee a problem such as this? I certainly would have never seen it coming and I'm a woman.
A K. Jun 19, 2008, 3:51pm UTC
omg, that is ludicris, it's things like this that make women look stupid
John S. (arizona) Jun 19, 2008, 3:56pm UTC
Sheesh..... what a bunch of maroons, ha.
Debra B. Jun 19, 2008, 3:59pm UTC
Ditto!! Duh.
Bonnie F. Jun 19, 2008, 4:09pm UTC
Oh brother! Can we make a mountain out of a mole hill?
Jennifer G. Jun 19, 2008, 4:23pm UTC
How stupid can people be?
Chelsea R. Jun 19, 2008, 4:51pm UTC
haha i agree with everyone!!
Mark-John K. Jun 19, 2008, 5:14pm UTC
Chelsea-

Here's another good one...the chick who has filed suit against Victoria's Secret..for a "dangerous" thong. Seems she was strapping 'em on one day, and a tiny stud-stone decorative thingy let go of it's glue, flung off, and damaged her right cornea!
Cheryl B. Jun 19, 2008, 5:55pm UTC
They're just being silly and petty!
Renda B. Jun 19, 2008, 6:04pm UTC
I can't help but laugh. This is completely over the top.
Donna Hammett-Tooker Jun 19, 2008, 7:02pm UTC
Some women have to do a lot just to get noticed as they perpetuate the Barbie Doll Syndrome lifestyle. Just like an old joke I heard many years ago. The office girl got engaged over the weekend and wore her ring into work on Monday. You all know how Mondays are and no one noticed her ring although she made every wild hand gesture and flourish to get their attention. Finally she had had it and she hit upon an idea - she stood up at her desk and proclaimed, "My, it's hot in here. I think I'll have to take off my DIAMOND!" And with that, she got noticed and so did the ring. She was happy.
My dad always used to say the the squeaky wheel got the most oil so I think these "women" just want people to know that they are either successful enough to afford the iPhone or "kept" well enough to have one and enough people are not noticing how "spatial" they are - no I did not misspell special, they want to take up space so they are spatial. lol
Chelsea R. Jun 19, 2008, 7:14pm UTC
haha i agree Donna
Kristen W. Jun 19, 2008, 7:28pm UTC
people find the smallest things to complain about!!!
Randall C. Jun 19, 2008, 8:00pm UTC
ARRRGGGHHHH!! just too much time on their hands. Maybe they need a cell phone the size of a telephone book
Vic Needs Coffee Jun 19, 2008, 8:36pm UTC

I agree, that is silly.
Rae M. Jun 20, 2008, 12:46am UTC
I think they have nothing better to do with their time then to get their nails done and complain.
Kimber L. Jun 20, 2008, 10:10am UTC
It is RETARDED!!!!!!!!!!!!! They are sexist by assuming their special long acrylic nails makes them more feminine then the rest of us or by assuming all females have nails like them! This is STUPID!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you for posting to Make me Laugh
Well, obviously these chicks aren't doing any real work. That would be impossible with the prosthetic nails. So, I think they should shut the hell up.
jeni e. Jun 20, 2008, 10:19am UTC
You can bet they don't do any kind of work that requires a brain. Long on nails, short on brains...
Sarah (I want points) Jun 20, 2008, 10:47am UTC
Yeah I think that's REALLY stupid... some people will just do anything I think.
Chelsea R. Jun 20, 2008, 2:04pm UTC
thanks all! we seem to agree!!
Jonathan S. Jun 20, 2008, 2:08pm UTC
Do these women also complain that computers are sexist because it's hard to use the keyboard with those scary talons?

Some people will complain about anything!
Debra C. Jun 24, 2008, 1:49pm UTC
I think they should cut their nails or get a stylus designed for it.
jeni e. Jun 26, 2008, 6:59pm UTC
I may have commented on this already, but jeese louise these girls need to get a life...I cannot help think how they manage to do 'personal' things when their nails get hung up on 'stuff', all I have to say if.....awwwweeeeee!
Vikki M. Jun 27, 2008, 3:05pm UTC
