Unrelated but I was reading the user manual for a mini chainsaw that I got secondhand, and one of the selling points was "women friendly", which I found kinda funny
The manual was pretty clearly translated to English, and had plenty of other stuff wrong with it too
Worst part about looking for Pink, Purple or less-common-colored tools is that almost all will tout how light-weight/small they are, and the reviews will bear out that they may be slightly lighter or smaller than other tools, but also much, much weaker, because the pandering has taken precedence over the notion of a useful tool.
Pink=Woman=Weak I guess xP
if only there was some sort of thing that could be used to make up for physical weakness, say some sort of.. tool.. maybe with.. a motor.. in it.. hmmmm
Just don't fall into the trap of thinking that power-tools are any exception to the issue. If anything, they're worse about it.
