Speaking as a cispeople but not for them (because identity politics nooooo) I readily grant you that this product marketing weirdness is indeed some weirdness that bodes no good. You don’t need to frantically exert yourself to declare your heterosexual whatever it is. You just need to get on with it in the assurance that other people are really not that interested one way or the other. Same idea works well for non cis whatever it is. If you need to spend lots of money to assert something about who you are ...there may be a problem you are coming at the wrong way.
the "I HATE MY THIGHS" one made me soo freakin mad. Are we really trying to teach our children that they should hate our bodies? Especially our baby girls?
@@sosha20 Absolutely! If I were a parent and those two onesies were my only choices, I would get the "I'm super!" one regardless of my kid's gender. Because it's actually cute and the other one is just... awful.

Someone bought me the girls version of the Bible as a kid. It has devotionals in it talking about how your period is a curse and how to dress modestly and not act out on sexual desires and basically a training manual, bible style, how to grow up and be a self hating, modest, submissive, prude. For girls only, of course. And I call myself having Christian spirituality so it's not like I'm against some of the beliefs. But this thing was seriously detrimental to my blossoming self confidence and sexual curiosity.
Samantha Brown Right there with you! I’m a Christian too, and I still find the story of Jesus so compelling, but it took me years to recover from what my church taught me about my body as a kid.
When you search "water bottle" on Amazon you get "men's water bottle" and "woman's water bottle". Like goddam wouldn't want people seeing you drinkin out of a woman's water bottle right 😑😑

I find gendered shoes quite pointless. I have men's sneakers just because that's the only way I could find my (average women's) size on sale. I tried to find out what the difference is, and in some cases they're wider. Because some men have wider feet. But so do some women. It still baffles me. This is especially stupid for climbing shoes, where the fit really matters and some narrow-footed guys can only find pink shoes that fit. What if they want some more options than pink?
I never understood why there is two different sizing systems for men and women, all it does is make my nb self really sad when my parents say "You can't get those really nice sneakers, they are for boys"
It's not that some men have wider feet. Mens feet tend to be larger and wider due to testosterone. Also plenty of "unisex" sneakers. I literally have the same shoes as every other girl and some guys. air force 1, the basic white shoe everyone has
True! I suppose marking extra wide or large (or narrow) shoes with different numbers or letters would be more efficient. I can't grasp the thing with climbing shoes, too. My gym rents out the same brand (genderless) and they work for everyone.

Actually medicine is the one field where paying more attention to the different sexes is needed. The standard patient is still the average man, which poses some problems to diagnosis and treatment of other people. For example some drugs that lower blood pressure can be really harmful to people that don't have the standard male biology and even shorten their lives when prescribed in the "standard" dosage etc.
Good point, but perhaps the issue once again falls into language being used to describe concept, rather than concept itself. In other words, yes biological distinctions between male and female sex should still be accounted for, but to acknowledge them by labelling them as gendered by placing them under the same conceptual umbrella as 'gendered products/services' falls back into the thinking that lumps together or equivocates gender and sex. I would propose, as a solution, to relabel such medical products or services that take biological sex characteristics into account as something like "bio-sex" products and services, to distinguish them from gender(ed) products and services, since sex and gender are not the same thing. Then important distinctions in biological sex characteristics are still accounted for, while another context is made less susceptible to confusing or conflating sex with gender.
That's true, but what I could see from the label on the laxatives was that they had the exact same dose of the active ingredient. There might've been relevant differences in the fine print, but I'm not betting on it.

It was a chilly October day when it happened. A cool and swift breeze through the open window adjacent to my bedside table as the sun began to sneak through the overcast clouds and down into my bedroom. It was a saturday and I gently rose to consciousness as the bright beams entered. I placed one foot down on the ground and then the other, stretching as I prepared to get up. I leisurely walked to the bathroom and grabbed my toothbrush and toothpaste. I squeezed the paste out on to the brush and began brushing, just like any other day, but, in that moment my heart sunk and I knew something was wrong. A sharp pain erupted and engulfed my mouth in agony. I fell to the floor clutching my jaw as I felt my fragile body begin to desintegrate as the stabbing pain began to spread. I reached for the toothpaste and in one final move managed to knock it to the floor. As I lay in my final moments watching my weak, female body collapse before me I realized my mistake as I took my final look at the toothpaste tube and saw the label: For Men

where i live we have sweets labeled 'for boys' and 'for girls' the surprise toy in the boys' one is usually a toy car or a fidget spinner or a slingshot the girls' one is always a tiny figurine of either a pony, a disney princess or a baby
I remember a time when the Kinder egg wasn't gendered and my brother and I always just wanted the cars. Now they have ugly pink ones, and it's just like you described.
@@theolotlyt the kinder eggs are exactly what im talking about, actually. i wasnt sure if they were gendered in other countries (im indian) so i just said sweets
On some days when my disphoria is worse i actually go and buy some things like these, or at least a shower gel or something, just so i can be in public and people see me with a „man thing“ and automatically gender me correctly
men and women usualy digest drugs in different speeds so drugs sometimes makes sens. They were some cases where women fall asleep while driving because I their sleep pills where still working because the dose was calculated for men
So my Mom and i were watching and the pink poo one came up and Mom said, “if your poop is pink you need to get to the doctor right away!” It's funny because my Mom is a nurse and she wasn't aware of what was going on at first until I explained it to her 😂

Was literally in the store last night and heard a voice sneer over the shelves in the aisle on the other side of me, clear as a bell, "No one wants your Dude Wipes." Other aisle is Paper towels, toilet paper, etc. That section's cleaned out right now due to coronavirus alarm, guess the Dude Wipes were all that was left.
I'm still trying to decide if it's a mean spirited gag gift.... or .... if it's a kink thing.... is it for furries? Like, what is it even for? Let alone it being gendered like why does that exist? XD
This is like when I was 9 my mum took me shopping to Matalan to get a new hoodie, and we found a gorgeous mint green one. Inside, it had the word “DUDES” written in caps all over.
Best advice given by my mother :"always look if a product has a men's version and buy it, bc it's always cheaper". It saved me a lot of money as an adult.
Needlessly gendered products are one of my biggest rants! The other day i saw gendered karaoke machines! The girls one was pink, purple with daisies and the boys one was just a regular machine.
Whenever I see a ridiculously gendered products I always buy the one ‘for’ the opposite gender and it lowkey pisses the cashiers off. Every time they go: you know this product is for [opposite gender] then I say yeah and stare them down. It’s oddly satisfying
I think I would respond with 'why?' and just keep asking why until they talk themselves into a corner, which will happen, because nobody can justify this stuff.
I seriously don't understand why they're gendered! Like, I'd like some socks with a certain design and then my mom would tell me: "but those are for men though"
@@anomienormie8126 Honestly, the answer is probably no, I think it's just they feel a need to everything to have a lable or belong in a particular place, most of the time it's just inconvenient though
I mean, I GUESS I could see if they were for a certain shoe size (and I think women’s and men’s shoe sizes are different maybe), but you could just list both size ranges??? Also most socks are one size fits all anyway so idek. Totally playing devils advocate here I agree it’s pointless
I'M GONNA START A CAMPAIGN SO SOCKS AND SHOES STOP BEING GENDERED. It really upsets me bc often "men" socks and shoes look cool and in cool colors (I don't like "women" bright colores things often) and I can't buy men shoes bc my feet are really tiny and they don't make my size in men shoes.
For many sleeping bag brands there is a difference between men vs women’s bags: the side the zipper is on, where on the body they put higher concentrations of the down/poly fill (we have different areas of body-fat percentages, and dimensions. Mens bags tend to have wider shoulders and bigger foot boxes, women’s bags tend to have baggier room in the chest area (for boobs) and wider hips.
Ironically the only person I know to have ever owned the boys Bible was my trans sister who is now atheist. So, maybe don't buy your kid gendered Bibles? (My other sister got the girls Bible, which was significantly less unique even though it was made by the same company...which I think is pretty telling)
I'm a cisgender woman, I definitely express tipically feminine, but my interests are just as often those socially considered masculine, as those considered feminine. I love art, I write fantasy, I sing a lot, I play the guitar, ski, do archery and adore management themed self development books. And the amount of times I got told that these things don't go well together is absolutely ridiculous.
My favorite gendered product I've ever seen with my own two eyes has to be ham for girls and ham for boys. HAM. How ridiculous is that??? When asked, the deli worker said that the "girls" ham is turkey and the "boys" ham is pork. I was at loss for words
Wow, that's really a new height of stupidity. Why not call it pork ham and turkey ham? I mean every muslim would have to buy the ham for "Girls" then...
I actually came across those laxatives once when I had to prepare for a colon procedure 😂 I was so completely confused, I stood there examining the boxes for so long and there were NO differences in the ingredients, but the women’s version had fewer tablets and COST MORE 😂 (needless to say, I bought a different brand that understood I didn’t need a separate laxative)
2:51 as someone who works in a health shop, I can say the “is this a MANS vitamin D pill? where is the WOMANS immune boosters, I need this generic multi vitamin pill bottle but in blue” conversation happens daily😅 “
It’s the apocalypse, you are scavenging through an abandoned supermarket for food, evading mutants and slaying bandits, in the corner of your eye you see it! Bread. Loaf upon loaf. Your stomach growls and your mouth waters. You run up excited to eat but then your heart drops. “Bread for boys.” And “Bread for girls.” You search aimlessly for a ungendered bread but it is all gone. Hope you enjoyed my creepy pasta
omg. so, in the shops where i live, literally everything is gendered and i love to dye my hair. BUT i’m a trans boy too, so whenever i buy hair dye, almost everyone misgenders me :|
At first I thought men's hair would be hair that wasn't pink or purple, but it only took a few nanoseconds to remember that that's not necessarily true.
okokokokokok, but the sleeping bag thing actually is legit. if they're quality sleeping bags they have different padding depending on typical fat-distribution so that people stay warm all over. depending on your hormones your body heats up different places or something? I don't know the details, but my sister says there's a big difference when it's really cold
Yes! Not only the fat distribution is different, but the percentage of it is greater in womens bodies. Fat doesn't keep you warm like muscle does, so those "womens sleeping bags" have more padding (in places that usually get cold like your bum etc.) and different comfort temperature limits.
@@e.s.lavall9219 Excactly, this is because of the muscle. Trans-women who've been taking hormones for a long time probably won't feel as warm though, since the fat distribution and percentage changes with the treatment.
I was looking to see if anyone made this comment because I used to sell sleeping bags and that's exactly the case. If they're a tighter fitting mummy bag "men's" bags will also allow for more room in the shoulders and "women's" will allow for more room in the hips. In a better world they would just differentiate them by body type instead of gender.
@@curtish3714 Exactly what I was doing going through the comments. I'm really grateful for all that stuff because my actual body is pointlessly gendered to the extreme and most regular outdoor stuff is made with a male figure in mind.
I haven’t bought a mummy sleeping bag in like 15 years but I was told that for mine, the woman’s sleeping bag had more down for support and the men’s had wider shoulders. When I was looking for a sleeping bag for my husband recently, I saw a lot comments stating they were women who preferred men’s sleeping bags because the women’s were too small for them.
My mum just found out that I bought a "men's perfume" and she says I'm not allowed to wear it anymore :,) I really don't get this. I didn't tell her the truth (if you have not guessed it already) and I was just like "No mum, I just like the scent". But she still says that I'm not allowed to wear it... WHYYYYY??????
Oh, I figured out that mirror thing. "Real men" use their lumber jack skills to carve a self-portrait into a tree (a "self-tree"). That's why the tree has a face on it.

It was a chilly October day when it happened. A cool and swift breeze through the open window adjacent to my bedside table as the sun began to sneak through the overcast clouds and down into my bedroom. It was a saturday and I gently rose to consciousness as the bright beams entered. I placed one foot down on the ground and then the other, stretching as I prepared to get up. I leisurely walked to the bathroom and grabbed my toothbrush and toothpaste. I squeezed the paste out on to the brush and began brushing, just like any other day, but, in that moment my heart sunk and I knew something was wrong. A sharp pain erupted and engulfed my mouth in agony. I fell to the floor clutching my jaw as I felt my fragile body begin to desintegrate as the stabbing pain began to spread. I reached for the toothpaste and in one final move managed to knock it to the floor. As I lay in my final moments watching my weak, female body collapse before me I realized my mistake as I took my final look at the toothpaste tube and saw the label: For Men

more and more i wonder if i even need a gender..

I feel you🤕✊non-binary struggles
Someone gave me the “bible for girls” when I was like 9, I hid it so I didn’t have to look at it
My mom bought me a pink bible, to gay for that
Loser nerd geek whatever that’s kinda cool
That was a good call considering what someone else said about it
The fuck is a Bible for Girls?
Oh my God, same! The only difference was it was like a study Bible and I loved that thing despite my atheism
The most ridiculous thing is that owning a random male gendered object will actually make me feel better about my dysphoria dhdvdhd
Pointlessly gendered things: *be everywhere*
Nonbinary people: *big sigh*
after over 12 hours gay of trying to educate a transphobe this is exactly what I needed to help my anxiety
'12 hours gay' love that.
Good luck with that
“12 hours gay” omg i love u so much 💛💛took me a sec but made me laugh so hard
you can't educate those, but your efforts are appreciated
it'sMe TheHerpes “believe delusional lies” bitch science backs up transgender existence, so fuck off with that shit.
it'sMe TheHerpes and no actually, they were somewhat open to being educated bc they didn’t know much abt the topic, but they were older so it was hard and a bit frustrating. But after a long while they actually are now somewhat of an ally.
“They should’ve rebranded strawberries as being actually blue” yup. Best way to sum up this specific type of stupidity
They can't do that. They've already rebranded raspberries as blue.
where i live we have sweets labeled 'for boys' and 'for girls'
the surprise toy in the boys' one is usually a toy car or a fidget spinner or a slingshot
the girls' one is always a tiny figurine of either a pony, a disney princess or a baby
Yes because girls always love fucking pink dresses and fairies and princesses and ponies like the men want them to do... I hate gendered products.
I remember a time when the Kinder egg wasn't gendered and my brother and I always just wanted the cars. Now they have ugly pink ones, and it's just like you described.
@@theolotlyt the kinder eggs are exactly what im talking about, actually. i wasnt sure if they were gendered in other countries (im indian) so i just said sweets
@@k.sharma6104 I think they are gendered everywhere you can get them (I'm german)
@TheTurbulentAdvocate the kinder eggs aren't gendered where i am (UK). The toys arent that good tho. nearly all cars that don't work that often.
"They should've just rebranded that strawberries are actually blue." I love that line, it's ridiculous but still quite funny
"I would rather my hair smell like apricot... than... men" Ok, I died of laughter at this one!!!
On some days when my disphoria is worse i actually go and buy some things like these, or at least a shower gel or something, just so i can be in public and people see me with a „man thing“ and automatically gender me correctly
Dito on the shower gel. I used to do that so much. Now it's habit because I prefer the smell of peppermint
Basically the only good use for this stuff.
I relate, but its spelt dysphoria you grammatically incorrect valid human being.
aggressively grey Oh really? I always spelt it like that tbh...probably depending on the country you live in🤷🏻

I used to work at Target and someone literally asked me where the men's nail clippers were. The sad thing is, we actually had them.
I hate it when people tell me to behave because I'm a girl.
men and women usualy digest drugs in different speeds so drugs sometimes makes sens. They were some cases where women fall asleep while driving because I their sleep pills where still working because the dose was calculated for men
So my Mom and i were watching and the pink poo one came up and Mom said, “if your poop is pink you need to get to the doctor right away!” It's funny because my Mom is a nurse and she wasn't aware of what was going on at first until I explained it to her 😂
I stopped the video to speak to my nephew and only heard pink poop. So I said the exact same thing as your mum. Oh nurse here also
Aww you guys are both adorable 😊
I can just imagine someone buying a bunch of 'men' or 'women' products just to get some form of gender euphoria.

No need to call me out like that
I mean I kind of like the idea of shaping a bath bomb as a grenade, but not because its 'manly', but because its a kind of clever design - you literally throw it in and boom

Was literally in the store last night and heard a voice sneer over the shelves in the aisle on the other side of me, clear as a bell, "No one wants your Dude Wipes." Other aisle is Paper towels, toilet paper, etc. That section's cleaned out right now due to coronavirus alarm, guess the Dude Wipes were all that was left.
XD i mean, there's one way to stay on the shelf longer
I guess the dude wipes are shelf stable then
Maybe the dude wipes will get some sales now
So silly, I know that my dad buys the wipes with the most feminine design cause they are the softest.
I legit found Bounce For Men - dryer sheet for the manly men who want to make sure their laundry is static-free, but in a manly way.
Nobody:
Dog men bowl: **exist**
That *has* to be some sort of kink. Like, that's the only healthy environment I can see that working
I exist too so its not nobody
I'm still trying to decide if it's a mean spirited gag gift.... or .... if it's a kink thing.... is it for furries? Like, what is it even for? Let alone it being gendered like why does that exist? XD
I would eat my cereal out of that XD
Probably a sexist invention created by some stupid feminist.
This is like when I was 9 my mum took me shopping to Matalan to get a new hoodie, and we found a gorgeous mint green one. Inside, it had the word “DUDES” written in caps all over.
As a girl, the boys’ rules sound way more fun.

All non-binary people(including myself) can hard relate to this video's annoyance at gender specific items
I’m cis and I’m still like “tf is the difference?”
Help, i think im nonbinary
What is the difference
Wait nvm I’m enby haha I was dumb then
I think many people can because honestly are those stereotypes actually good for ANYONE?
like "wtf man do we just not exist" srsly??
Jamie: what do non-binary people do?
Me: we suffer
I am a cis woman and suffer deeply when I see this shit.
I think the "self-trees" thing is a man who carved his face into a tree because he's "too manly for a camera"
Best advice given by my mother :"always look if a product has a men's version and buy it, bc it's always cheaper". It saved me a lot of money as an adult.
As a non-binary person I can confirm that we are all always super constipated God help us.
Someone please send us some prune juice, I'm begging you.
Needlessly gendered products are one of my biggest rants! The other day i saw gendered karaoke machines! The girls one was pink, purple with daisies and the boys one was just a regular machine.
Whenever I see a ridiculously gendered products I always buy the one ‘for’ the opposite gender and it lowkey pisses the cashiers off. Every time they go: you know this product is for [opposite gender] then I say yeah and stare them down. It’s oddly satisfying
Alan bruh imma do this from now on... GENIUS
Alan I like you. You’re good
Nice
I think I would respond with 'why?' and just keep asking why until they talk themselves into a corner, which will happen, because nobody can justify this stuff.
DevonOnAir ohhh yeahhhh imma do that next time
Another pointlessly gendered item: socks
I seriously don't understand why they're gendered! Like, I'd like some socks with a certain design and then my mom would tell me: "but those are for men though"
r westerners doing ok (I've only seen pointlessly gendered products in western societies)
@@anomienormie8126 Honestly, the answer is probably no, I think it's just they feel a need to everything to have a lable or belong in a particular place, most of the time it's just inconvenient though
I mean, I GUESS I could see if they were for a certain shoe size (and I think women’s and men’s shoe sizes are different maybe), but you could just list both size ranges??? Also most socks are one size fits all anyway so idek. Totally playing devils advocate here I agree it’s pointless
I'M GONNA START A CAMPAIGN SO SOCKS AND SHOES STOP BEING GENDERED.
It really upsets me bc often "men" socks and shoes look cool and in cool colors (I don't like "women" bright colores things often) and I can't buy men shoes bc my feet are really tiny and they don't make my size in men shoes.
I've literally been told not to knit because I'm a trans guy. So I knit just to piss off transphobes (but also because it's my hobby).
For many sleeping bag brands there is a difference between men vs women’s bags: the side the zipper is on, where on the body they put higher concentrations of the down/poly fill (we have different areas of body-fat percentages, and dimensions. Mens bags tend to have wider shoulders and bigger foot boxes, women’s bags tend to have baggier room in the chest area (for boobs) and wider hips.
Ironically the only person I know to have ever owned the boys Bible was my trans sister who is now atheist. So, maybe don't buy your kid gendered Bibles?
(My other sister got the girls Bible, which was significantly less unique even though it was made by the same company...which I think is pretty telling)
This is so confusing the men's sponge has a picture of a woman what if I pick the wrong one my life will be ruined
Seeing those gender rules signs, and thinking back to my childhood, I'm just like "why not have both?" 🤷🏼♀️
Katie Tieken Right?
I'm a cisgender woman, I definitely express tipically feminine, but my interests are just as often those socially considered masculine, as those considered feminine. I love art, I write fantasy, I sing a lot, I play the guitar, ski, do archery and adore management themed self development books. And the amount of times I got told that these things don't go well together is absolutely ridiculous.
I NEED this to be a series omg this brightened my day from depressing self isolation. Thank you Jammi you’re an angel ♥️😷
My favorite gendered product I've ever seen with my own two eyes has to be ham for girls and ham for boys. HAM. How ridiculous is that??? When asked, the deli worker said that the "girls" ham is turkey and the "boys" ham is pork. I was at loss for words
Wow, that's really a new height of stupidity. Why not call it pork ham and turkey ham? I mean every muslim would have to buy the ham for "Girls" then...
Wait so only one is actually ham?
@@NemoTheDreamO Turkey ham is really common 😂

How about buying both and mixing them together?
We lucky few are beyond these primitive concepts of gender.
I actually came across those laxatives once when I had to prepare for a colon procedure 😂 I was so completely confused, I stood there examining the boxes for so long and there were NO differences in the ingredients, but the women’s version had fewer tablets and COST MORE 😂 (needless to say, I bought a different brand that understood I didn’t need a separate laxative)
The gorgeous vs clever is honestly disturbing
I agree fully

As an agender person this things confuse and make me freak out
You are valid, but this gendered crap is, well, crap.
It’s the apocalypse, you are scavenging through an abandoned supermarket for food, evading mutants and slaying bandits, in the corner of your eye you see it! Bread. Loaf upon loaf. Your stomach growls and your mouth waters. You run up excited to eat but then your heart drops.
“Bread for boys.”
And
“Bread for girls.”
You search aimlessly for a ungendered bread but it is all gone.
Hope you enjoyed my creepy pasta

omg. so, in the shops where i live, literally everything is gendered and i love to dye my hair. BUT i’m a trans boy too, so whenever i buy hair dye, almost everyone misgenders me :|

At work I have to stock men's hairbrushes labeled "Designed for Men's Hair" and I'd like to know what the difference between gendered hairs are
Maybe it's meant for combing chest hair?
Yeah, that's crap. My hair is exactly like my dad's hair. Super thin, curly if left alone to dry, and still no gray in my late 40's.
At first I thought men's hair would be hair that wasn't pink or purple, but it only took a few nanoseconds to remember that that's not necessarily true.
okokokokokok, but the sleeping bag thing actually is legit. if they're quality sleeping bags they have different padding depending on typical fat-distribution so that people stay warm all over. depending on your hormones your body heats up different places or something? I don't know the details, but my sister says there's a big difference when it's really cold
AMAB peeps tend to sleep "hotter" so probably need slightly thinner sleeping bags
Yes! Not only the fat distribution is different, but the percentage of it is greater in womens bodies. Fat doesn't keep you warm like muscle does, so those "womens sleeping bags" have more padding (in places that usually get cold like your bum etc.) and different comfort temperature limits.
@@e.s.lavall9219 Excactly, this is because of the muscle. Trans-women who've been taking hormones for a long time probably won't feel as warm though, since the fat distribution and percentage changes with the treatment.
I was looking to see if anyone made this comment because I used to sell sleeping bags and that's exactly the case. If they're a tighter fitting mummy bag "men's" bags will also allow for more room in the shoulders and "women's" will allow for more room in the hips. In a better world they would just differentiate them by body type instead of gender.
@@curtish3714 Exactly what I was doing going through the comments. I'm really grateful for all that stuff because my actual body is pointlessly gendered to the extreme and most regular outdoor stuff is made with a male figure in mind.
"Man's bread... I don't even know what to say anymore!"
Jamie Raines, 2020
I haven’t bought a mummy sleeping bag in like 15 years but I was told that for mine, the woman’s sleeping bag had more down for support and the men’s had wider shoulders. When I was looking for a sleeping bag for my husband recently, I saw a lot comments stating they were women who preferred men’s sleeping bags because the women’s were too small for them.
“I’d rather my hair smell like apricot than.... men...”
Jamie I love you
My mum just found out that I bought a "men's perfume" and she says I'm not allowed to wear it anymore :,) I really don't get this. I didn't tell her the truth (if you have not guessed it already) and I was just like "No mum, I just like the scent". But she still says that I'm not allowed to wear it... WHYYYYY??????
With that type of stuff, it's best just to ignore her. It's good to ignore your parent if they're being dumb.
@@anastasiao4036 true
And if she hasn't smelled it, would she know that it's what you're wearing?
Oh, I figured out that mirror thing. "Real men" use their lumber jack skills to carve a self-portrait into a tree (a "self-tree"). That's why the tree has a face on it.
omg thank u for this i was so confused! but also like- what?? real men carve their face into trees??💀💀😭
Best line in this episode: "I want to be an apricot!"
I LOVE the bath bomb because it means someone on the marketing team thought "bomb" was too feminine a word for men. BOMB.

Wow, I didn't learn about the pink poo and such different physiology as to need a different laxative in medical school. This is so informative.
