@femfreq@G33kGrrly Computers weren't initially gendered. If anything they were initially thought of as feminine in a lot of cultures. -

@femfreq Yes. Manufacturers thought that men would look down on using the keyboard because it was too much like a typewriter. -
@G33kGrrly@femfreq This association still stands for a lot of w.class men. Masculine gendering of computer geekery is a middle class thing.
