He considered it over-priced even at that (and also plastic and flimsy),no man would buy it. I was reading about over-priced magazines and wondered if we really are exploited, what can we do about it?
I think that's a rather sexist statement. I know men who buy lots of gadgets. I also know many men who are "collectors" of what I'd consider junk. If you think an item is not worth the money-don't buy it, it's as simple as that. I don't consider myself a victim of anything.
