At long last, the perfect pen for femal legal style!
As a woman and a trial lawyer, I have been at a loss for many years as to how to pave a name for myself as a successful litigator. The practice of law, particularly complex litigation, has been and in many places in the United States continues to be a profession dominated by men. But that stereotype is changing as more women enter the the legal professional workforce. I am proud to know that BIC has been instrumental in the introduction of feminine senisitivities to the practice of law.
For many years, I assumed I was destined for a life of signing my name in dark blue and black; for dressing only in black and gray skirt suits, nylons, closed-toe shoes, and conservative jewelry. But thanks to BIC Cristal For Her Ball Pens, I have the courage and blind mindless faith that signing my name in whimsical sparkly pastels will set me apart from the blue/black signers of the legal world and pave my way to a life-long, winning career. As I sit in the courtroom, in the far back corner as is my place, quietly and politely waiting for my male counterparts to invite me to speak, my mind wanders and I imagine the jury collectively ooh'ing and ah'ing as I whip out my BIC Cristal For Her Ball Pens in full view of everyone in the courtroom, with the knowledge that the mere sight of their naked, sparkling, springy ball points will sway the jury to find in favor of my client time and time again.
Occasionally, I wonder if perhaps BIC would care to pontificate as to the orthopaedic and neurological differences between male and female hands that gives rise to its perception of a need for pens specifically designed for the female hand shape. But despite having handled multiple personal injury cases involving hand injuries to men and women, despite reviewinig countless x-rays and ultrasounds of hands, despite the seemingly countless unique shapes and sizes of all hands regardless of gender, I truly believe that there must be something unique in all women's hands because a company such as BIC would never create and market such a product based solely on assumptions.
Thank you, BIC for making my career ***sparkle***
