This is completely hilarious! I just love those product descriptions….funny how we can use this type of technology/communication in such subversive ways.

That “for her” is obnoxious, isn’t it?

Because I’m visually impaired, I use text to speech software that reads everything on the computer screen to me. When I first saw this post, I thought it said, “Gender Pants.” Naturally, this piqued my curiosity. Although this post turned out not to be about what women wear below the waist, I got a good laugh.

I considered trying to leave a comment there along the lines of what I said on G+ (something about preferring them wider and not being sure where to put the batteries) but I saw several ladies had already beat me to it there. Probably because they’re smart and have lady pens and stuff. I hear England’s very progressive that way.
