This is goofy corporate liberalism in a nutshell. Just make pink calculators. There's no reason to market it this way.
Pointlessly gendering products. Again. It's dumb, and as soon as anyone starts complaining about it, everyone else will pin liberals as crybabies who can't be satisfied.
The calculator actually comes in 10 colors and looks neat, I guess, for a calculator. Pink is basically one of them and its not exactly made specifically for woman. Whoever is in charge of their social media or who is responsible for that post and approved it needs to be checked though. If you can't see how this causes exactly what happened from miles away then you have the wrong job.

There are so many better things to be outraged over than this.
The color coded gender product shit is so fucking dumb. I was in a store and saw a normal looking box of tools and then an identical box of tools but the box was pink and the handles for the tools were pink and it was advertised as a women's toolkit. Same company, same tools, same everything except the colors. It was 20% cheaper.
To do calculations.
What makes this post even funnier is the fact that the microwave has a dial instead of a number pad
Flamin' Hot Lube.
That exists.
WHY DOES THAT EXIST?!
Marketed as increased sensation, which to be fair is likely true. But then again Durex sells really weird shit anyway.
It does have a warming effect, I know this, FIRST. HAND.
To be honest, having a bright colour for something like a calculator does seem like a good idea since it'd make it easier to find and you'd know which one belong to you because it was bright pink instead of some plastic blend of black/blue/grey
its for people who were bad and daddy didnt like it
reminds me of those Bic for Women pens and the parody reviews they got
For as dumb as this is, they could've not actually made it and juat keep it as a marketing ad that they donate some of the revenue to breast cancer reasearch or something. Then the pink color would've been toward some good instead of outdated gender notions.

I get the message but god is that calculator fucking gaudy looking.
What is the cubic volume of a box that is (6' 5 2/16") X (16' 11 15/16") X (5 2/32") Don't use a calculator
Outside of weird exam rules, everyone already has a calculator in thier pocket these days. Anything super complex you can probably find an even better calculator app or use wolfram
Math teachers really don't like phones, colleges really like adding subfee's onto every individual thing possible
I'm not allowed to have a phone in my hands while at work. Thus, I use a cheap calculator instead of a several hundred dollar smartphone.
Slow touch screen interface that requires tons of sub-menus vs. dedicated tactile button pad with quick access to all sorts of functions and operations.
Get with the times old man, "his" version should now come with nothing else but fabulous animated rainbow lighting.
To be honest, while I haven't used the calculator on Android devices, the one on the iPhone is nearly unusable to me, and the one on my old WP8 device wasn't much better. A basic TI model is so, so much more comfortable to use if you need to do anything beyond simple arithmetic.
