A Look Forward With SATA Express
We’ve seen many companies try their hand at external PCIe connectivity, but most get killed before they go to production due to licensing and driver issues with Thunderbolt. Gigabyte believes it solves the bandwidth issues experienced by those 10 and 20 Gb/s concepts by using SATA Express, which allows eight full-bandwidth PCIe 2.0 lanes to communicate over two cables.

Its called rhetoric, I am reasonably sure that the author did not go "GIRL GIRL...". The idea behind it is HUMOUR.
You are reacting like a 14 old boy TRYING very hard to act mature.
So stop nitpicking.

The Fairer Side Of Overclocking
We all know that female overclockers exist, but few of us have seen one. Gigabyte’s event featured two, but the other one always seemed to have her back turned to the camera.
Is perhaps the creepiest, least mature way of talking about women, ever. It's like the author has heard of women, and maybe even seen a picture or two of them, but can't react to seeing one in real life beyond "WOW, SUCH GIRL. MANY RARE. MUCH FAIRNESS. WHY TURN BACK. WOW". C'mon. If you want more women in the P.C. hardware market maybe try, oh I dunno, treating them like the normal* human beings that they are instead of some kind of freak show to be gawked at.
[*=OK, maybe "normal" is the wrong word. We're all a little weird and quirky here in the P.C. enthusiast market. But it's a good kind of weird and quirky. (....mostly)]
Hell if you were a woman Fred then you would have had all right to complain, but you are not. You may be completely wrong and every woman out there that do overclock finds his insert funny.
Everyone's an individual, stop talking about equality, if you are not in some backwater country, you should not even be considering it a problem. If I were to treat everyone with that know nothing about the computer industry the same, they would never learn anything.
All I'm saying is that the author of this piece should talk about women like they're people instead of gasping and fawning over them in an abnormal and frankly scary manner. If that upsets you, you really need to take a good look at yourself and ask why.
I hate hashtags. But #slowclap
Well said.
The most noteworthy attribute of this event's gender balance is that it included two female overclockers, where most events have 0-1. We'd like everyone to feel welcome at these, but it's hard to foster that interest in a society where pop culture still enforces gender norms.
Perhaps I should have said "defying social stereotypes", but I really expected a bunch of "geeks" to "get it" without that explanation.
Misses the point
