Women FINALLY have pens!!!

We talked about this in class yesterday, and I thought I would find some funny websites on the internet so everyone else can share in the hilarity that is Bic Pens For Her.
First, here is Ellen's take on this revolutionary product:

"It's about damn time! Where have our pens been??" -Ellen

I love Ellen, and this makes me love her more. I know these pens have been around for a while, and the internet has had a heyday mocking them, but it still cracks me up every time I hear about it.

Buzzfeed also featured the pens (Buzzfeed is amazing too) along with some of the best reviews from Amazon. It is totally worth the read and laugh!

Or go straight to Amazon if you want to read all the snarky reviews for yourself! https://www.amazon.com/BIC-Retractable-Medium-Point-FHAP21-Blue/dp/B005YGLB08/ref=pd_lpo_229_lp_t_3?ie=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=MXYT9QJDQJTGMY2FG4C3

I mean, come on guys, really? Who at Bic thought this would be a good idea? The problem isn't even that the products are pink and slim. That's perfectly fine. People can like pink and slim pens. The issue is that Bic specifically called them "for Her" and made statements such as "elegant design - just for her! Thin barrel to fit a woman's hand", and assumed, ASSUMED, that a pen women would like would be sleek and bedazzled. And a pack of two pens (one pink and one purple) costs nearly $7! TWO PENS. Whereas a pack of 24 normal black pens costs around $12. That's a difference of $3 PER PEN! Since when did a woman have to pay more for "female" things, even when we are paid less than men? The world is a crazy place.
