Pink is icky and girly, and they are big strong women, so anything pink (even with equal stats) seems to bother them.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
It's hardly like this is the first car to be marketed towards women - remember when driver-side vanity mirrors were a big deal? And just about every kind of backseat customization you can think of (DVD player, AV inuputs, extra cup holders) is there to make it easier to drive around with kids, which is OBVIOUSLY a Mom thing!

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
It looks to me that the Japanese auto industry is resorting to the same kind of cheap marketing gimmicks that the American auto industry did, right before they were eclipsed by the Japanese.

What %age of men is the VW Bug bud vase targeted at? And is that the same 10% Kinsey demarcated?
(I have decided that Wordnik is now my default dictionary, and have set up an Opera search shortcut to that effect. I hope the minuscule bump in traffic is more than just a drop in the bucket. Everyone should do so.)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I am sorry about the Jessie's Girl- it was probably horrific in, say middle school!
No worries! It was just right when it came out that I was so mortified.
Well, Yuletide assignments are imminent, so I think it's likely that she's One of Us.
A-ha! Too bad I'm not fannish enough to be able to engage with her on it, anyway.
Was there a new episode of Scandal or Grey's Anatomy last night? My dvr didn't record either of them.
No, I think it was the CMAs or something instead.

Ah, that's right. Thanks, Jesse!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
sj, the CMAs were on, no ABC regular programming last night.
tommyrot, your link next to the parenthetical about rare convertibles goes to bikes (which are not pink, so I strongly suspect they were not what you meant to link to)

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

VW decided to target tne new Beetle more to men, so they dropped the bud vase on the new model. The styling is now more like a 1950's Beetle, which I like much more.

It's the curse of linking directly to a graphic instead of the web page.
