If you're a guy, you know those prototypical ads that show the incompetent male who can't fix something/clean properly/file taxes, and then the wife/girlfriend shows up and saves the day?
I imagine this meme of the incompetent mother who doesn't understand computers must feel the same way for women.
> We're accepting suggestions for future moms to work with, so we can review more sites
This is just baffling. Could it be more sexist?
Would anyone please provide criticism so I can improve on my future comments?

As to what I meant and may have been unclear: the authors are making an implicit equivalency between:
• people who will struggle to understand a website
• mothers of website makers
This is, to me, blatantly sexist — at least until they extend it to "parents of website makers".
it's a parable, he means "older people", why is it, when it's a guy it's ok but if it's a woman it's sexist.
sure, his words could be "parent" but:
1) it doesn't flow
2) it's something everyone can relate to
3) we're from a generation of the largest number of single parents (which are mostly women)
4) it's an adorable method of wording, not a derogatory one.
for the love of god can people stop harping on about sexism, sexism exists and you just hurt the cause when -every- time soemone says "woman" you just jump to the defensive and start slandering everyone.
Don't assume malice, your life will be easier.
