I like pink, but making pink flash drives is sexism

I'm her husband and I was with her in the store when she took the shot. What actually happened was that while shopping for thumb drives, we both saw a single package out of about twenty that was pink and had "for her" written on it (which as has been pointed out, was not in the OP here). Neither of us became irate, or annoyed. We were both like "huh, what exactly makes this USB better for women than another one?" Honestly, while most of the comments here have focused on the fact that it was pink, what got the pic tweeted wasn't the colour of the device (there were other pink USBs there, big deal) but the packaging. Seriously, if the USB itself had been blue or black we still would have wondered exactly what a female USB does differently. Anyway she decided to take a pic because we thought it was kinda funny. She put the hashtag about liking pink on there because she was basically acknowledging that while the marketing was a bit sexist in that it targets a neutral product toward a specific audience, she was still tempted to buy it because she likes pink. And that was it, it went up on twitter. We would've forgotten it five seconds later and never thought about it again because it really isn't a big deal. Then it got re-tweeted a bunch of times by guys describing themselves as members of gamergate and got sent over to this forum. We weren't getting ready to take it to the streets to protest gender-based marketing. It just wasn't important at all. Frankly we both think it's a lot more unusual that, based on a simple post like that, she is now being characterised as a raving SJW lunatic. And on the subject of catcalling, watch 5 minutes of Geordie Shore. They catcall here.
