Peter Hill's robots are "female" because they have traits of cooperation and multi-tasking. based on this idea, they would make great caretakers for the home and of the elderly. whoa! that is the heaviest load of ******* i've ever heard of. why can't they just apply the traits without genderizing machines? on a similar note, the remake of the Stepford Wives is coming out next year, starring Nicole Kidman.
