lph pretty much summed up what I think too.

Personally, I am waiting for the day when traditional women's equipment is marketed with "men specific design" - vacuum cleaners with go-faster-stripes, washing machines being sold by motor size, ironing boards in black and chrome.........

That Kitchenaid is so cool with those flames! I'm Bron on this one. I'm not going to tell people to not have pink flowered anything, but my PERSONAL taste just doesn't go that direction when I am doing sporty activities.

A few years back, it was almost impossible to find a woman's jersey in royal blue, red, or black. These colors were only in men's cycling fashions. I know this because the racing kits I had were red, black and royal blue and sometimes I like to ride in a plain jersey. Just couldn't find anything to match my shorts! That thankfully has changed a bit so I don't have to wear only girly colors on the bike.

I'd like to see an end to "mens" and "womens," instead marketing what makes it different. For example, rather than WSD camelbacks, they would be "narrow shoulder" or "slim fit," because I can see a lot of young teen boys whose might be more comfortable in a "womens" pack -- until their shoulders broaden. And wasn't there a thread about shorter men who would be more comfortable on a WSD frame, but are put off by the classification as WSD?

It's a nice fantasy I live in, isn't it?

I agree susieJ, but indeed, it will be a long time... But, yes, the bottle that started this whole thread would be great if it were marketed as a "Small, decorative, water bottle" or something like that.

ETA: I lust after that stand-mixer!

The phrase LOL is so overused these days as to be meaningless... but that one really made me laugh out loud.
