Aside from boner t-shirts, another way to alienate women in the technology zone is to release a servile note-taking and schedule-managing app and call it "Donna." Maybe of the in-app purchases can be a $0.99 ass-slap? Sexism is always disruptive.
"Hello, world. Let me help manage your day," says the company's inaugural launch tweet. Sure thing, sweetheart.
It's named after two secretaries from West Wing and Suits - it's right there at the bottom of the website:
Donna is strong, intelligent, and proactive. The traits of a powerful and effective assistant, just like the characters she was inspired by. Good assistants give you what you ask for; great assistants get you what you need before you even ask for it.
Hey, Donna was awesome in The West Wing
Are you arguing that it should be a male name, despite the human-computer interaction literature that suggests both male and females prefer instruction and guidance from female voices? Maybe we should name the app "Pat" with an ambiguous voice and allow the user to project their preference subconsciously?
Ooo yeah! IT'S PAT!
But she's the best temp in Chiswick!
