Oh, you're not trolling, apparently! Okay. I assumed you were trolling.

Uh, yeah. It's silly but that's demographics and marketing. It's the society we live in. I don't think it's an extensively patriarchal thing (when it's something limited like this, and not that fucking Pepsi 10 bullshit) - any market segment is going to have things targeted directly at them if companies think there's money in it. You could argue that there's an extent to which it's sexist that women generally are assumed to enjoy things for both sexes while men are only interested in things for men, but I don't think that's actually operative here. I mean, really, the most offensive thing about it is the assumption that women don't like to drink beer.

I figured, but it's still strange to me. Like those BiC pens for 'her' that came out a few years ago...Why would women need special pens? The joke reviewers were pretty funny, though.

Well, it's not about what one needs, is it, it's about what one can be made to want. If anyone's been in a Walgreens aisle full of pens and not known which to get and then seen that one says FOR HER on it and said "Oh, I'll just get that" they've done their job.

I don't think that's actually probably a successful example but that's the idea I guess.
