This Company Had the Best Response to Receiving Pens Made For Women
For some companies, celebrating International Women's Day means celebrating the accomplishments and dreams of women everywhere. Others just end up taking a step backward, causing you to scratch your head at their message. Enter: BIC's "For Her" pens. Though the controversy surrounding that product isn't new, one juice company decided to show off exactly what they thought of the product in a Facebook post. See it below.
The post, which has more than 22,000 reactions and 7,000 shares, might not even be the best part. Commenters are also wondering where they can buy these pens, since they are women and obviously can't use regular pens. The company that uploaded the post, Innocent, is even responding. A few of our favorites are below.

The lesson here? Maybe it's time to embrace the 21st century and stop gendering items that don't need it.
