Is buying a woman a home appliance as a gift sexist?
09-Jul-20
I honestly cannot imagine buying a man a kettle or a vacuum as a gift. I mean what person on earth enjoys cleaning? I think gifts should be about pleasure not household chores.

  • No. If she uses it, why would it be sexist.

    • It should just be a household purchase.
      ·
      • No I don’t think so, it’s the thought that counts.

        • Yes what woman wants a home appliance as a gift, get real if she wants something it should be a household purchase NOT a gift !
          ·
          • She needs a loving personal gift
            ·
            • not if its something she really wants
              ·
              • it all depends on the receiver they may love a washing machine or other appliance.

                • It depends on the item. My ex once bought me brake pad covers. He is an ex for a reason. My current hubby bought me a Thermomix. Best present ever. It’s a tool. It makes life easier. The whole family uses it. However, I don’t use his welder, his latest bday present, and he doesn’t use my sewing machine.

                    • I brought my wife a whipper snipper. Now I have to teach her how to use it.
                      ·
                      • I love receiving something personal but if I desperately needed a new appliance certainly would be thrilled to receive it.

                        • If the appliance was giving her trouble or broken a new one would be a welcome gift.

                          • no
                            ·
                            • not if she asked for it
                              ·
                              • yes unless she has requested this type of gift.

                                • no

                                  • yes it is
                                    ·
                                    • Depends on the person. Sometimes I have asked for an appliance for a gift
                                      ·
                                      • IT DEPENDS ON THE CONTEXT
                                        ·
                                        • Gifts should be a form of love expression. Home appliances are just that for the home but if it is for the home and they live alone why not if they need it. But sexist no way.

                                              • It depends on the Woman. If they wanted something specific who are we to make judgement?

                                                • NO!!! Women love that sort of thing.

                                                      • I agree. That is a gift for the house not the person. A personal gift thankyou.

                                                            • If she asks for it, great, otherwise I think it is. I remember getting an electric frying pan for Mothers Day when my daughter was too young to choose, therefore my ex chose. I was not happy

                                                                  ·
