A Spanish teacher was explaining to her class that in Spanish, unlike
English, nouns are designated as either masculine or feminine. "House"
for instance, is feminine: "la casa." "Pencil," however, is masculine:
"el lapiz." A student asked, "What gender is 'computer'?" Instead of
giving the answer, the teacher split the class into two groups, male
and
female, and asked them to decide for themselves whether "computer"
should be a masculine or a feminine noun. Each group was asked to give
four reasons for its recommendation.

The men's group decided that "computer" should definitely be of the
feminine gender ("la computadora", because:
1. No one but their creator understands their internal logic; 2. The
native language they use tocommunicate with other computers is
incomprehensible to everyone else; 3.Even the smallest mistakes are
stored in long term memory for possible later retrieval; and 4. As soon
as you make a commitment to one, you find yourself spending half your
paycheck on accessories for it.

The women's group, however, concluded that computers should be
Masculine ("el computador", 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;

and

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 .
