So
I got two emails from a company I used to love...Lenovo. I say “used to love them” because right about
now, not so much.
But
wait – what am I fuming about?
I
got two – not just one, mind you, but two! – ads in email from Lenovo over the
holiday weekend.
Their
tag line for their labor day sale? “To
the man working for the man.”
Yeah,
“to the man” and the subject line of the first email was, as you can see in the
pic, “You’re the man.”
No. No.
No, no, no, no, no. I need to
return my computer now.
Yes, this is a screen capture of the ad I received... gotta love a company who knows that only men use computers! |
Here
goes my return letter:
Dear
Lenovo,
Apparently,
you got confused about who owned one of your computers. Because, you see, I’m not “the man.” And, in fact, while I work for some men, I
also work for some women. So I’m not
even working for “the man.” (Yes, I get the reference to “the man,” but that’s
just as insulting – assuming that only men are in charge…)
So,
Lenovo, while I’ve had my computer for several months now, and I even posted
about how awesome the customer service was, I now see the folly of my
ways. I apparently purchased a product
meant only for men. I would like to
return my computer and get a refund. Of
course, I’m not sure if that’s possible.
To be fair, I have been using my computer, and I may have gotten
women-cooties all over it.
Perhaps
in the future, you will deem it proper to make a product that women like me can
enjoy. Until then, I will just have to
save up and buy a Dell.
Sincerely,
A
Totally Pissed-Off Crazy Ass Feminist
(And,
yes, I actually did send the letter with my contact information to Lenovo through
their Customer Service website…)
