Shoot, for exactly the reason you mentioned, marketing, I don't see how they could have done that by accident. There's just too much money at stake to let it be another "Nova" moment in marketing. If it's an attempt at segmenting that's not a problem for me. Why is that a problem for you -- to segment and target along gender preference lines?
