I fnid the fact that because you didn't learn how to use a washing machine you assume your entire gender is somehow lacking this skill. I learned how to wash closed using a washing machine when I was in middle school. I learned all the various settings on the machine as how they effect everything from stains setting in your clothes to how they effect the water and energy bills. It takes like two minutes to figure out what the settings are on your washing machine, and once you do it once you find the almost every washing machine in existance has the same interface.
As a final note if you presented me with your interface I would be unhappy because I ( like most adults ) change the settings on my washing machine based on whats going into it and you have now removed that common interface and replaced it with a non customizable and frankly stupid interface.
