My fellow luminous friends, here are the FACTS.
One, everyone at CPF has at least one of the following: a spouse (likely female if you are a male), a gal-friend, a daughter, a niece, a female colleague, a sister (I'll stop there).
Two, pink is a BEAUTIFUL color, especially when done in the right shade. (Apple's "Rose-Gold" iPhone is actually a euphemism for "Pink"; they cowardly added a touch of gold to deflect your attention away from its pink component. The NY Times rejected an op-ed I submitted to that effect.)
Yet, the vast majority of flashlight companies REFUSE to make some of their smaller lights in pink.
I know this for a FACT because I've reached out to at least two PROMINENT ones at the highest levels and both my request and my reasoning behind it were flatly rejected.
Three, it is simply an IDIOTIC decision NOT to market flashlights in PINK to half the human race: women!
The women I've gifted PINK lights to went NUTS over them, and to this day still thank me.
I myself own a Pink Flashlight (no, it's not my only light, lol) and I don't give a WHIT what others "think" or say because I am a male. It's a beautiful light.
Lumens are not just for males, but apparently most flashlight companies think otherwise.
What kind of thinking is THAT?
The central reason I was given was that a pink light simply would not sell.
Of course it is NOT going to sell WITHOUT THE PROPER MARKETING!
I've already written/devised such a marketing campaign. (All I need to do now is start my own flashlight company or have a company use what I have written.)
By the way, ONE of my pink lights is now being discontinued by its company, and I know for a fact (I do my research) that the decision was not made by a woman.
I am NOT saying half of all flashlights should be pink (for reasons I will not list here).
Let me summarize my argument.
Half the human race is women. Do the math!
Go to any flashlight company's website and count all the PINK lights. You will find that they comprise about .000025% of all their offerings.
Are women .000025% of the human race?
And you guys who always talk about having to hide your flashlight purchases from your wives: if you give her a PINK light they probably will "get" it (as well as keep asking you for more, hehe. You can thank me later in a post.)
Am I mistaken, or isn't the founder of CPF a woman? (Greta). If so, thank you, Greta! It took a woman! (Does it always? Hehe).
Greta, we need to name a (pink) light after you! Maybe I can interest Vihn. Vihn, let's do a super-powered AAA light in pink and call it "the Greta"! I'd buy a dozen right off the bat and TWO dozen if it's a beautifully stunning shade of pink!
I will close with what Gandhi wrote, "Truth needs to be repeated as long as there are men who disbelieve it."
Amen.
