gizmo maker Asus should have learned a deterrent example from fellow laptop producer Razer : never tweet . The Taiwanese technical school giant mail out a tweet yesterday that was so forged on so many levels , it ’s awful it was ever sent in the first place .
The tweet ( now deleted ) reads , “ Attention all men ! Who would you rather date ? The cute girl with the # cat , or the sophisticated lady with the # ZenBook 3 . ” This is a bad tweet on a lot of levels .

allow ’s start with the “ tending all men ” part , because patently all piece want to date women . Also , I do n’t quite understand why someone would choose to date someone because they had a cat or a laptop computer . Like , putting the sexism and the heteronormativity aside , this is n’t even clever .
Asus look to have tweeted this at about 10 pm last dark on the west coast , by this morning , probably amidst complaints from people who have eyes , Asus deleted the tweet .

And yes , for all the people who will comment on this post . Asus also posted a similarly risky tweet boast a man . That does n’t absolve the sexism of the other tweet , at all .

Make no mistake , this is a bad tweet too . And again , why is Asus asking anyone to pick out between an lovely kitty and a midget laptop ! The solution is obviously both .
