It really depends how you read it. I read the hook as getting a non technical person to explain the product so the benefits are communicated in layman's terms. Most people don't have a partner in the same profession, so it's simply a situational occurrence that it ended up as "girlfriend". It could just have easily been a woman getting her non-techy boyfriend to explain it, which would equally have been a non-issue.
