Hmm...and young boys are the target market for backup tape systems?
Maybe I should have been more specific: the context was home computers, not the professional systems. I thought that much was obvious.
And even there, do you seriously think that the motivation for those ads was "oh, we must make sure that women don't enter the profession" or was it more "we know that 95+% of our target audience is male" and so they used the same sort of tactics that were used to sell cars and auto tuning products[1]?
