No, my view is because it does perpetuate a decidedly sexist lean.
Period. It has nothing to do with our past dealings as much as you
like to cry to all.  Taking a browser and fluffing it up to be all
cutesy and girly then putting it out there for all is quite simply a
slap in the face to all the women who work hard in a tech world and
strive to be taken seriously. It makes me think of the freaking Barbie
spouting "Math is hard!".
