The computer is g****r confused

Going the e-mail rounds.
A language teacher was explaining to her class that in French, nouns unlike their English counterparts, are grammatically designated as masculine or feminine.
'"House" in French, is feminine - "la maison", while "pencil" in French is masculine - "le crayon."'
One puzzled student asked, "What g****r is a computer?" The teacher thought it would be a good exercise to have the students decide what they thought the g****r should be.
So she split the class into two groups appropriately enough, by g****r and asked them to decide whether "computer" should be a masculine or a feminine noun. Both groups were required to give four reasons for their recommendation.
The men's group decided that computer should definitely be of the feminine g****r ("la computer", because:
1. No one but their creator understands their internal logic.
2. The native language they use to communicate with other computers is incomprehensible to everyone else.
3. Even the smallest mistakes are stored in long term memory for possible later review.
4. As soon as you make a commitment to one, you constantly find yourself spending more money on accessories for it.
The women's group, however, concluded that computers should be masculine "le computer" because:
1. In order to do anything with them, you have to turn them on.
2. They have a lot of data but still can't think for themselves.
3. They are supposed to help you solve problems, but half the time they ARE the problem.
4. As soon as you commit to one, you realize that if you had waited a little longer you could have gotten a better model!

The best humor is based, at least in part, on the t***h.

Men are more logical as far as thinking and it shows in the results. Women think on an emotional level. Men should make decisions on items like autos, flat screen TV's, computers, lawn equipment, BBQ grills, chainsaws, 4-wheelers, drones, camera equipment, and neon beer signs. The important stuff. Women should choose curtains, china, and flatware. That takes a lot off their minds and gives them more time for shoe shopping.
