That's just ridiculous. Ascribing sex to everything makes no sense. "Nice" means lots of stuff. Wrt Copperfield's gun, it's nice because of the engineering. Didn't you notice the "finger notches" or whatever they're called. Those make the gun grip better. The gun is a revolver / 6- shooter type.
It's difficult for non-tool-users/non-makers like Eric to understand or appreciate the level of work that goes into creating tools. You can't really blame it on him really. It's his upbringing, local culture and fear of the world outside of his gates that handicaps him. In short, he never got out enough as a child. Never hayed a field, planted and garden, fed or watered a cow or pretended a stick was a sword.
The single despot stands out in the face of all men, and says: I am the State: My will is law: I am your master: I take the responsibility of my acts: The only arbiter I acknowledge is the sword: If any one denies my right, let him try conclusions with me. -- Lysander Spooner
