There are men’s – and women’s – clothes. Different cut, different colors, different emphasis. No one sane complains that either derogates the other. If anything, the opposite. Women’s clothes make women look better; men’s also.

It’s kind of the point.

They are tailored to fit their different bodies and different preferences.

Because the sexes are not the same.

Either physically or – generally – in terms of their respective preferences. Products are routinely designed and marketed to appeal to one or the other, which makes sense if the object is to… er… sell them things.

Most men won’t be interested in jeans cut for women’s hips and most women don’t like men’s underwear. Men like baggy pants and women like high heels and – usually – each complements the other. And the problem is… ?

Why then is there an uproar – feigned, certainly – over a car-oriented toward women?

It’s a little – and very cute – city car designed by SEAT, a Spanish-brand subsidiary of Volkswagen that specializes in … small, cute cars.

Physical Gold & Silver in your IRA. Get the Facts.

The latest of these being a special edition of the Mii hatchback revealed last week at the Paris Auto Show. This version (Italics  for a reason, bear with) of the Mii was made specifically to appeal to women, with “feminine touches” such as “eyeliner” themed headlights, “jewel effect” wheels and a “Violetto” purple paint job. It even has a special handbag hook.

Much in the same way that a number of vehicles are available in trims and colors and with features obviously designed to appeal to men.

This – male-minded marketing and design – isn’t considered denigrating to men. Nor an exclusionary affront to women.

Because, of course, it’s not.

Men – like women – have different tastes.

Not all of them, of course. Everyone’s an individual – and some women like to wear men’s clothes just as some men like to wear women’s clothes. And there’s nothing wrong with either.

But, it’s generally true that each sex has distinct – and differing preferences. Car companies – like other companies that sell stuff – try to make what they’re selling appealing to buyers.

Is there anything sinister or degraded about this?

I’m not seeing it.

But Perpetually Aggrieved Women are feigned and furious about the special edition Mii.

So furious, they have to lie about it.
