That's absolutely a worthy cause, but we still think it's weird for companies to think that they can get women to buy more just by coming out with pink versions of their products. Even weirder: There are entire Web sites dedicated to hunting down the best in pink refrigerators, oven mitts and handguns. It's enough to make us puke (pink).

I wanna know why the person who made this article assumes that everyone and anyone who would purchase these items are a bubble headed bimbo who diets and eats lean cuisines? It's like any other color. why does pink have to have such a bad rep? Pink is my favorite color, but my standout color in my kitchen is red. But you don't have anything bad to say about my red microwave or red coffeemaker. You need to grow the hell up.

Are you kidding! I and many of my friends can't weight till Oct. to buy more pink! We have as much pink as we can find. Mugs, umbrella, hammer, clothes, bags. I get my mamogram in Oct. because of all the cool pink stuff they give you.

I am a professional adult and I love pink. I actually work for a fire department and am primarily surrounded by men everyday. But, I love pink and try to keep my office girly if at all possible. I have a Pink Keyboard, Pink Mouse, pink post its, pink coffee cup, pink water jug, pink cellphone and pink ipod all in my office. My keyboard and mouse get the most attention. I love it and everyone always knows what stuff is mine in the office!

I LOVE pink! I'm insulted that someone would say that the functionality of any of these products is lessened based on the color. I have the pink digital camera - my fiancee still uses it, he's comfortable with his masculinity. The knives? He says as long as he's doing the cooking, no - but I could get 'em for my use. The glock and taser? I've had my life threatened a lot because of my job, and have had to look into legally arming myself - gee, I have pink pepperspray now! And I've carried a pink pocket knife/utility knife for years! Don't de-value it just because of it's color - in people, it's called racism (just pointing out the stupidity of it).
Oh and my fiancee will be buying me the pink tools for Christmas - mainly so I don't use his - but he admitted he might use mine.
Just remember - Real men eat quiche and like pink!

I'd buy a pink Glock. It does look like a toy though, I don't know if a burglar would take it seriously.

I REFUSE to buy or wear ANYTHING that is pink.
I am a 60 year old woman and I WILL not buy or wear any pink product.
They just make me sick,
Sorry.

The one good thing about the pink Glock (and yes I own a Glock....)
If you pointed a PINK one at a bad guy, you wouldn't have to waste ammo.
He would die laughing..........

LMFAO! I was just joking with my sister's boyfriend about how funny it would be if a guy got mugged by a woman with a pink gun! The cop would laugh at the guy for getting mugged by a woman first and then disbelieve him if he said the gun was pink. Truth can be stranger than fiction. We thought that the gun should have a charm or glitter on it though.

As a lady that LOVES PINK, October is my MOST favorite month, followed by November, because ALL of the pink stuff from October is on clearance! If it's out there,,,,,,and if it's pink, (or Hello Kitty), I pretty much have it. However, the Kitchen is off limits, because, my Husband and I spend an equal amount of time in there cooking,,,so no pink kitchen gadgets.
BUT the best part of all of this is: I also own four pink Glocks (the slides only are powder coated), and a pink Ruger. My holster is accented with pink, and my IPSC/USPSA (it's my shooting sport,,,,check it out on You-Tube), rig, is also accented with pink. I do have a pink Swiss Army knife, and ALL of my tools in my Range bag are pink too. At the Range, my nick-name is Glock Girl, and ALL of my clothing (including custom made shirts) are pink, grey and black.
If anybody were to see me in a store or out in general, you would NEVER think that this is what I do for fun. But my pink Glocks, (along with my shooting abilities), have helped me make a name for myself, and I never have to worry about any MAN wanting to borrow my Glocks! It makes a man dominated sport, just a bit more "girlie".
