Phrase of the week

I know it's a day late this week, but considering the week I had last week I'm hoping you'll let me off for that.

This week's phrase of the week is:
[object] is male/is being male

This started with computers. Meant to make our lives easier, but in actual fact are often far more hassle than they're worth. Hence they are like men, or at least they were when we started this and I was having one of my 'I hate all men' phases. I don't have them so much now, but things still get referred to as being male on occasion. It's not my fault, I didn't do it?!
