Can you frickin' believe this?? Home Depot has decided to create a 'female friendly' version of its stores and, get this, they're calling it Her Depot. Whoever does their marketing research needs to be fired and branded on the forehead with the word "idiot". It is a store where,"You won't find any lumber yards, contractor-grade tools or commercial building supplies. What you will find are flower bouquets, well-lit athroom and kitchen displays, stylish home furnishings and stacks of floral-print storage bins."
Gee, what I've always wanted--- another place that sells totally useless, decorative, over-priced shit. Hmmm...don't we already have a few of those around? (i.e. Crate and Barrel) Women will clearly never need nails, nuts, bolts, hammers, a wrench or, god-forbid, a piece of wood; we all just have our darling little hubby do all the heavy-lifting, fixing and logical thinking. As we all know, ovaries are like kryptonite to handiness.
I just don't understand how they think this is an new and appealing prospect for women (maybe cerca 1950). It will have "softer lighting", "lower shelves" and will be "neater and cleaner" than the typical warehouse style found at Home Depot and Lowe's but will have less stock (25% less). So, essentially, it will be a place with mood lighting and elevator music where women can buy fake flowers and call it home improvement--- ridiculous. All they have to do now is paint the exterior bright pink and the insult will be complete.....grrrr. Screw you, Home Depot! Oops, can't use 'screw'...that's manly hardware....POTPOURRI YOU, HOME DEPOT! (much better)

OMFG!! No, I did not hear about this, but thank you for pointing it out... That is just sick. So, essentially, someone did not receive the memo that women are not retarded. This is the kind of shit that makes me crazy! Just because I have a uterus, it renders me incapable of rational, logial thought...and apparently the ability to use a hammer or screwdriver or identify different types of lumber and compound. I swear...if AutoZone EVER does something like this, I'm just going to kill myself. Because then I'll know that it's all over.
Oh, speaking of stupidity...have you heard about Target stores enforcing a policy that allows their pharmacists to deny a woman birth control and Plan B if it goes against their personal beliefs? WTF?! Yet they can pass out male enhancement drugs like they're M&Ms. Because you know of course that men getting a boner has absolutely no tie-in with female pregnancy whatsoever...
I say that like there's such a thing as "MALE pregnancy."
Bah! You know what I meant...
