![☆☆☆☆☆ The pen for women that lets them KNOW they are women, 15 Aug 2012 By Happyshopper See all my reviews This review is from: BIC For Her Amber Medium Ballpoint Pen (Box of 12) -Black (Office Product) Thank you so much Bic! These are more than just pens. They are little pink saviours. Every girl and woman should own one All my life I have written predominantly with black, blue, clear plastic, or, occasionally, metallic coloured pens. It never felt right. My sense of womanhood was deeply impacted by the lack of gender defined stationary. I remember once, writing in a public library, a child asked the time, and referred to me as 'mister'. Mortified, I reflected upon why I had been so cruelly misgendered. I mean, I'm no Marilyn Monroe but I like to make an effort! Then it came to me: I was writing with an ORDINARY pen. Nothing in this writing implement made it obvious that I was a WOMAN. The next thing you know, this child might have asked me to fix something! Or assumed I understood the ins and outs of science! Until I found your'for her' range of pens, I was in genderless limbo. No, make that hell. Horrified at the thought of a repeat incident, I wrote only in private. No amount of make up, pink dresses, heels, and jewellery could fill the aching sense of androgyny that now consumed me Concerned at my obvious deep misery, and apparent pen phobia, my friends and family began asking questions. How could I tell them? How would you? Then I saw them. First it was the pastel colours. Good, yes, but not clearly enough defined. A closer look and my heart skipped a beat. Could it be true? Pens 'for her'? I don't want to go into detail, but I will tell you that I emitted sounds of euphoria I never thought humanly possible Many tears were wept. Tears stained pink with feminine joy As you can imagine, I counted the minutes until this precious package arrived. I took the day of work, bought myself a new pink writing pad, and practically sprinted to the nearest busy café. Settled with a skinny mochachino, I pulled out my new 'for her pen (pink of course!). The result was astounding. As I began to write, flowers, heart shapes and ponies appeared on the page. I had unleashed and connected with my inner femininity! There was no stopping me now. You won't believe what happened next. A man, looking uncannily like Burt Reynolds (in his heyday no less!), approached me and said: 'Hey babe [Babe!]. That's a pretty pen for a pretty lady' Needless to say we are now engaged and living in blissful heteronormativity. Stan has even asked me to make a special request to you, Bic - for him' pens! He says they could be in the shape of beer bottles or golf clubs. And why stop there? (said Stan). A ruler that looks like a brick would make any man feel more of a man. He is so clever. He says you must make sure to send him royalties! How we laugh about that, every morning. (But seriously, do credit him if you take the ideas on board.) Anyway, I am sure there are still many more stationary items to be gendered feminine, and too little time! Thank you for giving me back my sense of womanhood, and please never underestimate your role in promoting the gendering of girls and women](https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/list/000/387/047/4ab.png "4ab.png")
