Do you know for sure that I am a man?

Hardly. I questioned the value of the gadget compared with conventional
computers, so, if anything, the woman has more practical sense about it
if she objects. Thus, if I am a man, I might be considered as sexist
and prejudiced against the male of the species :-).

Why would it not be the

It might be in some cases. Not all ladies are as practical as others
and might desire a device that I painted as likely overpriced compared
to options. And then it could be a 2 lady or 2 man house, when one
plays the role of lady and the other of man, but I dont't think we want
to go more deeply into this subject :-).
