“Designed to fit comfortably in a womans hand”
We girlies must celebrate. That lovely company, Bic, has come to our rescue. No longer must we struggle to lift those heavy, huge Bic pens, chip our nails on them or cry with disappointment when, because of our weaker fingers, we drop them.
Bic have brought out “BIC For Her Amber Medium Ballpoint Pen “. One selling point is that they are “Designed to fit comfortably in a womans hand“.
Well, that’s all right, then. What else have we got to do with our hands?
Oh, yes, Lego for Girls: Mia the animal-lover, Olivia the smart girl, Emma the beautician, Andrea the singer and social butterfly Stephanie (Source: Huffington Post January 2012).
I feel so sorry for the designers of these products. They are going to get such a slapping from half the world’s population.
I love your conclusion, because yes, they so are. xxx
Do you think after the success of razors ‘for her’ they thought they’d just try in with their pen market?
They might – just – get away with it for the razors as they’re a discrete hygiene product and we women don’t have “shaver bits” like men.
But a ball point pen? I was incensed at “Designed to fit comfortably in a womans hand“. WTF? I have large palms and long fingers and need a size 7½/8 glove. Hardly a dainty hand.
The funniest part was the the (probably) unwitting smut implied in that line. Should we make comparisons?
I can do slapping – where are they?
Unbelievably, the pens are still there http://www.amazon.co.uk/BIC-For-Amber-Medium-Ballpoint/dp/B004FTGJUW
Go for them!
