    Too feeble for unisex? Try a lady product
You’ve read this right: Cadbury have created a “lady chocolate bar”. Kate Murray-Browne rolls her eyes: 

We all know that being a woman requires specialist material. For instance, your vagina needs its own deodorant, stylist, and stick-on jewels just to get it through the day. We need hundreds of things men don’t, like lipgloss and Veet, and we’re used to that now. But recently, there seems to have been some quite amazing ingenuity in producing special lady products where we all thought a unisex one would do.
Victoria Pendleton has created “the first all-female bike range” for Halfords; Cadbury have just released Crispello, a chocolate bar specifically for women; Bic recently launched a range of pens “for her” (provoking some very scathing, very funny comments on its Amazon page), and London Transport produced (and then swiftly revoked) a leaflet called Tube Tips for Women.
Nowadays, you can go on women-only bike rides or to women-only gyms, and, if you can’t control your alcohol intake all by yourself, there are women-only drinks available. How far can it go? How many more things can be ladyfied?
