Woman here. I buy men's razors. They're cheaper, last longer, and are better quality overall. No reason to pay more for the pink razors unless you're going into the fancy ones that have the soap around the blades or something. It's just marketing that works...unlike Bic's pens for her. (Seriously though, read the reviews, they're great)

u/JORFICT · 154 pointsr/xxfitness

I wanted to take notes on what you said here, but I forgot to bring my [Bic for Her pen] (https://www.amazon.com/BIC-Fashion-Retractable-Assorted-Fashion-FHAP21-ASST/dp/B005YGLA5Y) today so I can't. :(

Highly recommend the pens though, I bought them based on the Amazon reviews...

u/hibryd · 38 pointsr/TrollXChromosomes

Even more Amazon reviews for the retractible version

> I accidentally grabbed one of these pens (the lovely purple one) out of my wife's purse and instantly got my period. Now I'm feeling bloated and weepy.

> For those who haven't actually tried this pen, it is easy to make fun of. I LOVE this pen. When I click on it, it sometimes releases an eraser-sized nub of chocolate. At other times, a Fabio-like voice in dulcet tones says "Math eez hard. But you can do it" or "Take a break. Ez time too watch Dr. Phil!". It really just gives me the extra motivation to go on with my day. Also, it has amazing built-in smart technology! When I see my patients using this pen, the pen automatically detects the awkward situation because it knows to say "Do not worry, the real doctor will be in soon." Thankfully, the pen then signals to my male colleague, who will arrive with his "For Him - Bic Magnum" pen, designed to write OVER "For her" scribbles. Lives saved. Thanks, Bic!!!

I’m a woman. He’s the one that assumed.

Edit: Shortly after I moved out of my childhood home, my dad sat me down and gave me a speech about how I’d have to do things for myself now (seriously), and he presented me with a tool kit. All the handles had a flower print on them.

Both of these men have my best interest at heart, but I guarantee that they each spent an extra 10% at least for an unnecessary bit of decoration.

It’s like when BIC branded that one set of pens for women (Read the reviews!). Why?

u/mylifeisprettyplain · 27 pointsr/relationship_advice

I'm with you. I didn't realize there were "men's" foods and "women's" foods. So now my food is gendered in addition to pens , body wipes , and ear buds ?

u/littlebabyburrito · 19 pointsr/TrollXChromosomes

Cue the "for her" items too, like Bic For Her pens. Major props to the trolls who wrote those hilarious reviews at the bottom

u/Osgoodbad · 16 pointsr/fountainpens

Why would you assume that it's mostly men? What makes it a "man" pen?

Edit: Obligatory [Bic for Her] (https://www.amazon.com/BIC-Fashion-Retractable-Assorted-Fashion-FHAP21-ASST/dp/B005YGLA5Y)

u/Yinzadi · 14 pointsr/MensLib

In a similar vein, the reviews of "Bic for Her" pens are hilarious:

u/Toujourspurpadfoot · 12 pointsr/ShitAmericansSay

That’s accurate. Equality isn’t really conducive to capitalism (or conservative theocracy). As long as there’s division amongst genders, companies can make gendered products and make more money, usually charging more for the “lady” version.

Check out the questions and reviews on this.

u/lacubana · 11 pointsr/GenderCritical

The part about the protein bars cracks me up. Just like those Bic for Her reviews. Always good for a chuckle.

u/theta_abernathy · 10 pointsr/AskFeminists

I get where you're coming from, because some #masculinitysofragile tweets are a bit "I'm a manly man hurp durp". However, I think the intent with most of it is to make fun if the marketers for thinking that "man size qtips" is a good idea. Products for women are criticized in similar ways, like this Bic for her review, which implies that regular pens are too dangerous for women, and that women need a man to teach them how to write. It benefits from having no character limit, so it's a bit more obvious that it's tongue in cheek, but I think most #masculinitysofragile tweets are going for the same effect.

u/hylianbunbun · 9 pointsr/DeFranco

I’m going to take my Bic For Her and write a strongly worded letter about this! If my husband lets me, of course!

u/[deleted] · 8 pointsr/LadiesofScience

I'm against this kind of thing.

u/HelloSweetieXXOO · 8 pointsr/rant

> Some are even complaining about gender seperate stuff like fucking razors and shaving foam other shit like that

To be fair sometimes women's stuff is made exactly the same as men's but costs twice as much. It just happens to be a different colour. Also some things specially made for women are just ridiculous. Take Bic's pen for women as an example. Why the hell do women need pens specially designed for them? You can go to any office supply store and buy cheap pens by the bucket. Sometimes marketing to women is really stupid.

u/e9579bd4 · 6 pointsr/privacytoolsIO

Slow down. Women need special pens that reflect their delicate sensibilities and unique biology, so it only makes sense that LGBT people would need special apps with purple or rainbow backgrounds.

I think the term OP meant to use is "Applications of Color", and I can't recommend any because it would violate sacred safe spaces for me to even look at the Appstore of Color. But they probably have some awesome apps in there.

u/amici_ursi · 5 pointsr/ShitRedditSays

Not to be confused with feminist pen, which i fully expected.

u/zeroable · 5 pointsr/AskHistorians

/u/commiespaceinvader touched on an issue that I'd like to address a bit more directly.

In my experience, people who are not history buffs sometimes confuse the ideas of "women's history" and "gender history." This might be a bit obvious, but gender history can be seen as an expansion of the more femme-focused field of women's history. Gender history looks at femininities, masculinities, genders in between, genders outside, agender identities, etc. (See /u/sunagainstgold's reply to this comment for the historiographic context of this, which includes the difference between social and cultural history.)

I think part of why many laypeople equate gender history with women's history is that we in the Anglophone world tend to think of men/masculinity as the default state of being, and women/femininity as the gendered alternative. (Think of the Amazon review debacle that was ungendered Bic Pens vs. "feminine" Bic for Her. Or behold these unnecessarily "designed for women!" ear plugs. The regular product is for men (?), so apparently we need a special pink product for women.)

Deborah Tannen explains phenomenon this brilliantly in her classic essay, "There is No Unmarked Woman." We have been trained to notice femininity more than masculinity, causing us to equate "gender" with femininity.

EDIT: And I'd like to second /u/sunagainstgold's Feminist history versus history of women as a very pertinent to what I was trying to say here.

EDIT 2: Changed a few things in response to sunagainstgold's valuable corrections.

u/Adman4 · 3 pointsr/EDC

But where are the BIC Pens for her? How can you study women's studies without them?

u/no_real_username · 2 pointsr/AskWomen
u/kellykebab · 2 pointsr/delusionalartists

Guys didn't happen to buy single serving yogurt, so companies directly marketed to them.

Is this Bic Pen for Her a result of toxic feminity?

u/SixThousandHulls · 2 pointsr/asktransgender

They look very cool! Although honestly, I wouldn't have connected them to the transgender flag colors if you hadn't mentioned it. Now, will cis people be able/allowed to use these too, or will it be like Bic for Her?

u/RazarTuk · 1 pointr/brokehugs
u/peppermind · 1 pointr/AskWomen

It should be subject to the same sort of mockery as the Bic for her pens. Needlessly gendered products are annoying as hell.
