Women, rejoice! We have a tablet made specifically for us! Joining the Bic Pens for Her, the ePad Femme is the Eurostar Group’s answer to the appalling lack of tablets for women. The tablet comes preprogrammed with all the necessary feminine apps: yoga techniques, recipes, dieting tips, shopping lists, and more. And it already has a pink background and case, the only color women like.

Because women have so much difficulty downloading apps, changing backgrounds, and working technology altogether, right?

The ePad Femme represents a variety of stereotypes for women: we only are interested in cooking, dieting, and shopping; pink is the only color for us; and we are inept with technology. These stereotypes are harmful and completely untrue. Women have interests beyond our bodies and the color pink. For example, I cannot cook to save my life, my favorite color has never been pink, and technology is a huge part of my life. My interests do not revolve around my body, but around my personality. This tablet is an example of why we still need feminism: some people still seem to think that this is acceptable and good.
