Six Word Memoirs on Life Stories

Why is that? I've been saying for years that Home Depot should cater to more women and have pink tools...because if you ever step foot in one of those places, there are usually more women than men shopping!

Believe says,

The pink tools are never ever the quality ones.

I feel like the manufacturers think women care more about it being "pretty" than what it can do. Much like girls and women ourselves are looked at by society. Gotta wear high heels, have long hair, long nails, wear make up to look good even though all those things in some way inhibit what we can DO.

Home Depot caters just fine to this woman.

Good point. I'm not into what society thinks about all the long hair, long nails, yadda, yadda, yadda. However, I do think that pink tools would inspire maybe more women to become do-it-yourselfers (that and I happen to love the color pink). Thanks for sharing marymc!

Power tools should come in a variety of colors.

I've always said you don't need a penis to turn a screwdriver. :-)

I'm a do it your selfer.

I had a pink set of tools (screwdrivers, pliers, socket set, etc) when I worked at the hotel. I was the Admin Assistant to the Maintenance Department. Every now and then the tool set came in handy when the guys were busy. I didn't have the pink ones because I was a girl, but because I knew the guys wouldn't "borrow" my tools. :-)

Excellent point, MO.

I love pink tools and I don't give a happy rat's ass what society dictates. They're right though, for really serious, heavy-duty jobs, ya gotta get out the black, blue or gray stuff.
