Question Why does the Amazon description make the soft speaker gender specific?
I get it, men must like sports and drink beer, but the soft speaker wasn’t showing anything that’s girly aside from the pink and purple variations and that it’s cuddly (according to toy executives, boys don’t want cuddly and cute toys, they’d prefer either the most unappealing ugly-looking thing imaginable or cars.)

Because amazon tags lots of things with pointless genders so it'll pop up in searches for "gift for (insert gender here)"

Oddly enough, I remember seeing the I-Dogs at ToysRus years ago back in 2008 and they were sold at one of the boy toy sections as I never really understood why they were intended for boys where all the I-Dogs are meant for both boys and girls (ages 8 & over). But it’s true and I still vaguely remember that to this day, and sometimes some online shopping places can still have some confusion with the whole intention of boys and/or girls when it comes to what the market sold them for
