Like, ohmigod! I must totally show this to Becky, Tiffany, and Amber!
Jokes like this make me viscerally angry.
1) There are groups of customers out there who are not the technically adept 15 to 34 year old males who are in the comfort zone of the vast majority of startups.
2) Their needs, wants, and, yes, trivial whims create legitimate markets to satisfy, no less than World of Warcraft, the latest $1 iPhone sensation, AWS, or any random CRUD app.
3) It is profitable to satisfy them, because they pay money for our products.
4) Mockery of these segments functions as a perverse sort of social discipline, which hurts diversity in our industry (which I could, frankly, not care less about) and costs us money and profitable opportunities (which I care about quite keenly).

I'm somewhat offended that "tween girls" have iphones. I wish my job was slapping their parents.
My "tween sister" worked her ass off and paid for her own damn iphone, thank you.
Classic title
