Products That Are Pointlessly Gendered

Pens For Her

This one is straight up ridiculous. Pens for women. The point of pens is simple – it’s a took to write with. Men, women, and kids in school all use pens at some point throughout their day, so to market and pens strictly to women is pretty ridiculous. The BIC For Her pen line claims to be designed “just for her” and touts a “sleek silhouette” and “jeweled accents” for style. As Amazon reviewer Jessica Wilde put it, “I gave these to all of the men in my office and they all received pay cuts a few weeks later! Thanks Bic for helping me to bridge the pay gap – at least, in my office.”
