...to call the copy machine a "dirty whore" at the office? I mean, it's a male machine...

In the office, yes.

On the other hand if it's one of those ones at the library that charges you 10p a copy, it's quite acceptable.

Hmmm...I always thought of it as more female. After all it is doing secretarial work if you think about it. Copying, having to change at a moment's notice to fit the person's needs and demands.

Of course men have no role in the reproductive process.

You would be equally valid to say the Photocopier is male because if you press it's buttons it ejaculates.

But the result is a representation of the source material in full form. Your analogy is much more suited to a paper shredder.

If you don't mind me saying that's a rather cliched feminist point of view - woman create while men destroy.

Stronach a dirty whore? That's just wrong. She's not dirty at all.

So much for us getting hung up on gender roles and misconceptions created by stereotypes. There are male whores, y'know.
