The Objectification Police would not approve of the Blackberry Babes. And people wonder why these industries have a gender imbalance...



BlackBerry Babes is a mainstream movie in Nigeria. The object of their fascination may be BlackBerries (rather than handbags), but that has no connection to sexism within the technology industry.


you think women don't objectify just as much as men do?

If you do, then you are very naive. Yet you don't hear men whining about about a gender imbalance because women get up to just as much objectification. There are other reasons why there's an imbalance, if you look at other factors, ethnicity, for example, you'll find the same imbalance, and for the same reasons.


You're simply incorrect in every point you made.
