    Oh great, “fabulous pink hammers” and “adorable pink workboots.” I feel so liberated, especially when the author writes: “Home Depot has introduced “Do It Herself” clinics for women interested in learning how to use a stud finder; the classes are evidently a success since, as NPR has reported, in some locales the store is becoming known as a hot singles spot.” Yeesh.

    Seriously? Pink tools?

    I worked construction my freshman year of college because I needed to make the bigger money you can make. I can assure you I didn’t use pink tools then, and I don’t now either.

    I’m not sure if that article could have creeped me out more.
