    Feminists Rage Over Latest Injustice: Sexist iPhones

    Feminists are spitting mad after Apple sexistly created an iPhone that was too large for tiny female hands, which are one inch smaller than the average man's hand according to a 2015 study.

    Lodging complaints against the new iPhone XS which surely won't diminish cases of actual sexism, women such as University of North Carolina professor Zeynep Tufecki tweeted: "Women like me with small hands who need the most secure phone for safety reasons are stuck with something they can’t hold and constantly risk dropping."

    I can’t grow my hands any bigger. Please make a smaller #iPhone @Apple https://t.co/3K4jBF0FN4

    UK journalist Caroline Criado Perez also bemoaned the giant phones - telling The Telegraph that she incurred a repetitive strain injury after using the iPhone six, with its 4.7" wide screen, because it was simply too large. Her symptoms abated when she switched to the smaller, daintier iPhone SE with its 4" screen.
    "I have to make a choice between making an upgrade to the only phone that fits my hand before they discontinue it — soon there will be no iPhone that fits the average woman’s hand sizeeven though the technology is two years out of date," Criado Perez said.

    Geez, what about the disabled?
    As in the people whose vision is so poor they need gigantic screens with the icons scaled up till they're the size of quarters--legally blind people.
    Don't these leftists care about the disabled? Isn't that able-ist?

    Making a different size phone for women would be sexist.

    If a device can Skype, it also can be a phone.
    Does size matter? If DJT now holds the bigger model
    in his hand, does this shoot down the "small hands" meme?
