'Ask your husband for some extra pocket money today!' Amazon shoppers' hilarious reviews of Bic's pen just for women
Just for women: Bic For Her has sparked a wave of hilarious customer comments on its Amazon product page
A range of pens designed specifically for women has fast become the most sarcastically reviewed product on Amazon.com.
Bic, the ballpoint pen manufacturer, launched its 'Bic Cristal for Her' line last year, but a new wave of customer comments has sparked fresh interest in the unlikely product.
It is unclear why Bic believes women need a specially-designed pen, though a product description on the site says it has a 'thin barrel to fit a women's hand', and an 'elegant design - just for her!'
The product, which is available in an array of pastel hues, is being marketed in a serious way, but the ridiculous concept has not gone unnoticed by shoppers, with dozens of consumers posting hilarious remarks.
E Bradley from New York writes: 'I love BIC Cristal for Her! The delicate shape and pretty pastel colors make it perfect for writing recipe cards, checks to my psychologist (I'm seeing him for a case of the hysterics), and tracking my monthly cycle.
'Ask your husband for some extra pocket money so you can buy one today!'
Meanwhile Madeleine B from Boulder, Colorado is less enthused with the product as 'they dot every "i" with a little heart.'
'They also won't make periods at the ends of sentences; it's a question mark or exclamation point every time, also dotted with hearts - SUPER annoying.'
Bay Area Guy added on Amazon.com: 'My girlfriend had a pack of these laying out and, needing a pen, I picked one out and began using it. Now that I see its just "for her" I feel weird, deviant, and ashamed.
'Does writing with a Bic For Her make me a crosswriter? Just hope I can afford the weeks of therapy I'm going to need to regain my manhood.
'Well, that's about it...time to do an Amazon search for a drum and a loincloth so I can head into the woods and feel manly again!'

The Bic Cristal is the most widely sold pen in the world and as of 2004 one hundred billion had been manufactured.
They are currently mass-produced and sold by Société Bic of Clichy, Hauts-de-Seine, France.
The pens have reached the UK market too, where one sarcastic Amazon.co.uk customer wrote: 'Oh! I am not worthy of such a delicate, pastel-shaded lady-pen. I'm afraid you'll give me the vote soon and all sorts of other ghastly manly things.
'How will I be able to waft about in pink negligées and please my Master's every whim in good conscience then? I don't want my own mortgage or to be able to go on working if I fall pregnant. I don't want to be allowed to drive a car or show my face in public.
'How unsuitable and unladylike! How could Bic place such onerous responsibilities on such frail creatures? It's a disgrace against nature!'
