Me too. Sort of. I read recently about a woman who sold personal protection devices--Tazers, basically--to woman at in-home shopping parties, like Tupperware. She said her clients overwhelmingly bought the pink model. I think buying "pink" has become a sort of claiming of the cliche, like gay subculture adopting the word "gay" to describe themselves. But yeah, I'd rather some other colors were available. A nice steel blue, for instance. Apple did pretty well with the range of iPod colors, so maybe there's hope. “I kind of resent the idea manufacturers seem to have that making something pink is the best way to market their products to women.”
