Another question asked was if it was before the internet (yes), so relying on stereotypes was more reasonable :) I was using cultural expectations pre-1990s
But just because something existed before the Internet doesn’t mean it doesn’t still exist now. You say you’re using pre-90s expectations, but it’s a modern object still - so why would that help at all?
But sexist stereotypes did exist before the internet (at a much higher rate than today). Using the logic of the past doesn’t mean it’s being sexist of today.
Kind of like if the answer was a job and it was before the internet (so, like pre~1990), it would be reasonable to assume women were not as prominent in a lot of things like they are today.
It (microwave) exists today, but it also was invented when sexist stereotypes were much bigger.
Sexist stereotypes for the win!
