"Yeah, why should blokes have all the fun?": A compendium of tech products and gadgets marketed towards women.

I think most companies insult women, when the only difference between their regular product and "marketed towards women" is that the latter come in various colours.

Great idea for a site and good posts there. I was surprised that the site was pink, but they spend a lot of time making fun of companies that come out with "the ladies edition, now in pink!" so I can let them slide on that. It's a perfect market segment that tech companies have no idea how to talk to, hopefully sites like this get on their radar and help change things for the better.

i think most companies are an insult to humanity in general.

But this Malibu Stacy has a new hat!

Oddly enough they don't seem to mention the vibrator for the playstation 2 system (although, as it clearly has a USB interface, I suppose it can be used with most consoles/PCs).

Speaking as a woman (since I am), I have never found a list of techie gadgets I'm less interested in.

Then again, I also hate pink.
