Why do people assume that girl + geek = frilly pink fluffy crap?

I'm a woman, not a girl, thankyouverymuch, and I'm a Geek. I love awesome tools just as much as any guy does. A couple of the things in this article are marginally okay, but don't dare assume I want something in pink - unless you want to wear it for a week! The rest of the stuff in this list are just... bleah. Would you guys want stuff like this? No? Why on Earth would you think we women do??

...And I'm a fan of pink. But that doesn't mean I buy gadgets because they're pink. Yes, my iPod touch holster is pink, but the gadget inside is not. C'mon, guys. You can do better than this.
