OK, sexist men think that all women want sex all the time. How many times has some a-hole said that what a woman needs is a good sex, as if they were capable of giving a woman such an experience.
One of those guys must have designed this...
It is an alarm clock that vibrates to wake you ladies up. Instead of being startled awake by a beeping, or clanging alarm clock, you get woken up by a vibrating doohickey that somehow has remained between your thighs while you sleep.
A smooth, elongated device that looks like a curved iPod, this alarm clock-cum-vibrator promises to make your mornings happier by waking you up with some good vibrations.
You programme the clock to wake you up at the desired hour, choose one of six different 'vibrating patterns', position the gizmo in your pants - and then wait. Come morning, the subdued buzzing emanating from your nether regions will be the only indication it's time to wake up.

No, I am not making this up, and no, Daily Mail isn't either. Here's the website if you doubt me. http://www.wakeupvibe.com/home.html
Guys, start treating the ladies like people, like equals, and quit assuming that they are created just for sex.

That would be kind of, well, sexist.

(3,891 posts)Then she asked. "What idiot thinks that it is going to be anywhere near where it is supposed to be when it starts buzzing?"
We laughed about the image of being woken up by the cats pouncing on the bed trying to get to the buzzing thing. Then the need for bandages as we fought with the cats to get it and turn it off. The fury of the cats for taking away their toy, and the dog barking and running around would not make for a pleasant experience waking up.
My impression would be that the first thought after we had gotten the damned thing turned off would be "This is going to be a crappy day isn't it?"
Then again, if it was actually able to stay in place, that could be worse with the cats on the bed.

(90,740 posts)I can well imagine the scene. The alarm goes off, my dogs investigate the sound, and I start yelling. My husband, still half-asleep, tries to calm everyone down. The gadget would most likely be at the foot of the bed by morning - or someone near my head.
I don't know who invented the gadget but it did bring to mind those early years a long, long time ago and how after a week of trying I gave up the pads for good. At the time, I figured I was the most inept female in the world. Later, I learned I wasn't the only one.
I like gadgets. I just like being in control of my gadgets.

So. Seriously...do I really need to wonder if men who think this is "sexist" might be a little jealous that women are waking up happy in the mornings without their help?

I have no idea why I am supposed to care that these products exist. If you don't like them, don't buy them?!?!

I mustn't be an empowered woman, but whatever. I don't need a man to feel good.
