Microsoft publishes sexist form letter to help dudes convince women to let them buy an Xbox One

Its strange how no one has picked up that the dynamic presupposed by the "cliche" version of this letter is rather... well.. indicative of certain advantages women have.

I mean, why should the man have to convince his girlfriend/wife/etc. that they should get an Xbox One when, more often than not, he's probably going to be paying for it?!?

Why should anyone have to convince his/her partner to be able to buy something with his/her own money? I doubt this is addressed to people with unstable economical situations where buying a console would be an irresponsible decision.

Read the comments on the article too. No one thought it was sexist.

It's almost like the videogames industry perpetuates silly and outdated gender stereotypes or something.
