I think the blue flowers are very pretty - I have no problem with that. I have no problem with pink. My problem is with gear that is marketed as women's specific that is just a pink version of the men's. Or that is designed for women, but you can ONLY get it in pink. If there isn't anything functionally different that is designed to work better for a woman, then don't sell me a load of blankety-blank telling me it is WSD. If I want pink, I'll buy pink (I did go through a pink phase in the late 80s, early 90s). What if I want a saddle that fits me, but is orange? Or green? I don't happen to be a pink person anymore. I have to say, I was outraged last spring when I was browsing through DH's tri magazine with all the hot new gear in it - cover to cover. With 2 pages of wsd stuff - let's see, Speedplay pedals that were identical to the other Speedplay pedals (don't remember which model), but in pink! Etc. I suppose it's just a sign that we're still vastly outnumbered, and these companies don't think there is any money in it. Why design a new product when they can just slap pink paint on what they have? I think this is exactly why I'm not a pink person anymore.

I'm sorry - am I ranting? It's one of my pet peeves.

Actually, I did like the blue flowered waterbottle, until it was pointed out just what it's shaped like.
