I had a maternity nurse tell me about how she'd hear family in the delivery room react to a newborn boy crying by saying stuff like he had strong lungs and react to a newborn girl crying by saying "she's going to be a bitch". I couldn't stop thinking about it for days. It still haunts me.
that’s terrifying ngl
i'm sorry??? to newborn infants??? what the hell and fuck
That's awful. Damn.
That's so horrible, especially since newborn babies crying is a good sign
genuinely disturbed by this. what the fuck
My favorite gendered item I've ever found in the wild was a sparkly pepper spray at staples labeled "so cute, it hurts!"
BASED! 🤣
that ones good actually lmfao
Did it have glitter? Asking for a friend
I love that
its not a want, its a need.
I think this is why most little girls go through that “I hate pink and girl stuff” phase whether it’s true or not, cause it’s shoved down our throats for so long that we put our feet down and stop
Bro, you're so right. It's also part of the deal with girls that go through an "I'm not like the other girls" phase. The traditionally "girly" things and related things are pushed at them or seem to be pushed at them all the time, and so they end up vehemently rejecting it. It really sucks.
@@MariaTex3yeah like “girly things are shoved on us while they also tell us that being a girl or being feminine is a bad thing. so like obviously we’d just inherently want to reject those things and other girls at some point which is so unfortunate
AND THE WORST PART (Jk) IS THAT PINK IS A GREAT COLOR
Absolutely, also nice profile
And it's really sad because those girls usually grow up regretting it because they didn't end up learning how to do makeup and how to properly deal with periods. I was one of those girls :(
another notable fact: with gendered products, the “female alternative” is oftentimes for expensive than the men’s.
I wonder why they're more likely to want to pay more.
This is a persistent lie. One, different colors of products literally do usually cost different. This can be due to the cost of the dye or how it impacts sales or other factors. Two, SO WHY DON'T WOMEN JUST USE THE MALE VERSION.
Actual conversation. Woman: "It's so sexist these deodorants are the same why is the female one more expensive. " me: "so use the male version." Her: "No, the ingredients are different, I would never pay for the inferior male version."
(@-@) So maybe that's why they cost different.
Her: "See you're sexist."
Yeah, bcs it's harder to trick the men into spending more money.
@@KevinJDildonik I can assume women don't use men's products because... They're too harsh (Just look at 3-in-1 shampoo/conditioner/body wash. It does none of those jobs properly).
Aftershave and beard balm are some of the only really 'quality' men's products because women don't generally want to have/groom a beard (with exceptions, of course, as there is to most things).
@@KevinJDildonik dunno, I actually do just use the male version, when it makes sense (specifically a men's deodorant). Harder with clothes though. What often frustrates me is not only how female clothes are more expensive, but also how often I would find them being of worser quality than the mens even if it's the exact same model of smth (fabric being thinner or not having fricking normal sized pockets in jeans that can fit a phone, omg)... but like, the mens clothes design might not appeal to me or classically - not have my size. Or some products only exist for men, so I won't have my size by default. So that's some unsolvable issues almost discriminative in nature that do exist. Probably there are examples with some products to mirror this from the other side.
I kinda want the girly ouija board to see if my house has spirits of girlbosses and slay queens.
*slayed queen, because if you hav to use ouija to communicate with her, she's probably not alive
"hail satan, periodttt 😝💅💖"
“girl u got slayed 😍😍😍😍😍”
I can confirm. My ghost came in and she started referencing lines from Mean girls
Im holleriing 😂
Came back to this video just to warn everyone: I am a woman and I used men's deodorant once and first my armpits melted because it was too powerful and manly for my dainty skin and then I turned into a military battle tank. I lost my job, my life is ruined, my family has rejected me. Don't make the same mistake.
I used a woman deodorant but once i sprayed it the daintiness and femininity stuck to my skin and took away my flesh. I later learned how to control this femininity and later moved out of the Mediterraneans to enroll in a horse race around america
Thank you for telling us your stories. im a women and i used men's shampoo and the shampoo penetrated my large lady pores and it seeped into my brain and melted it. Never again...
this is my favourite comment ever
im a trans guy and when i started using mens deoderant i grew fifty penises. they have now covered the entirety of my body. tbh very gender affirming but i miss having a face. be careful out there!!!!!!
Shit, I buy boy deodorant cos it's cheaper, but I wouldn't mind becoming a military tank tbh, at least u won't have to deal with ridiculous gender ideals anymore ❤
If I ever have a child, I’m throwing a “gender reveal” party and make the reveal color purple just to confuse everyone.
Purple is a lovely color; wish more baby companies leaned into it.
Purple to honor BTS, yes sir, yes sir (I'm joking, purple is a lovely color and you can do as you please

My mom actually bought gendered hammers and screwdrivers because she worked construction, and people kept stealing them they stopped a little while, but the problem was they were REALLY nice, and dudes stole them anyway.
Never underestimate a construction workers ability to not steal pink things if it was really good product.

'Girls can't poop' can confirm. Trans FTM here. Never pooped as a little kid. Questioned my gender in middle school and started farting. Came out as trans in high school and took my first shit. It was wild.

Everyday you learn something new, thanks for sharing ❤️
what's it like to shit
I had this experience as well as a trans ftm💗💗
That is so wild. Thank you for sharing your experience.
Most girls and I included have gone through the phase of hating the colour pink because it was so pushed on me to like it before I could even like colours
Actually though, I think we all went through that phase where we tried to be “different” and “not be like other girls” because anything relatively girly was used as an insult. Liking makeup, shopping, caring about your appearance were used as insults even though there was nothing wrong with them in the first place 💀
Me personally I went through the "I love pink" to "I hate pink" to "I love pink" phase
Very much agree. I'm transmasc and despite it being one of my favorite colors, when I was younger I avoided pink like the fucking plague lmao

"It not Manly, it's Childish!" As a father, I absolutely agree.
The fact that women have been using "war paint" as a euphemism for makeup for years but suddenly men claim it's a brand new perspective on makeup...
@@christopherbrown5409the men in the video silly
@@christopherbrown5409 Might be a good idea to wath the video before commenting
nahhhh war paint comes from Native Warriors , no one should be saying it as a joke or euphemism for anything. it's not taken lightly because it was literally used for war. it's not something women (especially non native women) created, they literally stole the saying/meaning and made a joke out of it. i'm sick of Native history being overlooked/forgotten and not defended.
@stink lol Variations of war paint have been used all over the world in different cultures for thousands of years. Yes, Natives used it, but many other cultures did too.
@@stinklol7474 so many cultures wore war paint what.
"Gender? I hardly know... them?" Is genuinely the only funny joke I've ever heard in that format. Good job, Kurtis.

My favorite quote is from my sociolinguistics prof who started our course by saying "Gender is a made up construct and you'll just have to accept that and move on". He was great, and great at teaching too.
I grew up very conservative christian and the gender norms that were pushed on me as a closeted person made me so miserable up until 23 when I moved out. The only salvation I had was my dad who, after divorcing my mom, always let me wear and play with whatever toys I had. He'd let me join him in the garage and help with his car if I wanted to, but would also help me play with my barbie house if I wanted to play with that. He's still very traditional, but he's always tried his best to never force me to be more feminine than I want to be, and since I came out he's grown so much because I'm his child, whereas my mom won't ever accept it nor be on my side in confrontations with my extreme relatives (if that ever were to happen). I'm breaking the stereotype of lgbtq people not having a supportive dad, and I love that for me.
❤
Ur dad sounds amazing 🫶
I've said to people, exactly what your professor explained to you about gender, and it makes me feel so validated that someone with high education feels the exact same way as I do about gender constructs!! 🥰🫶🏻
I’m a man and I use floral deodorant just because of how weird the masculine ones smell

im a guy and i also use floral or fruity deodorant and body wash because i dont want to smell like wolf musk or whatever the hell mens products smell like
My mom worked in a machine shop and she bought pink tools. Anything that wasn't already pink she colored or put pink tape over. Worked like a charm to keep her tools from being stolen cause none of the men would use anything with pink on it lmao
that reminds me of a post I probably read on tumblr, where a guy who worked with forklifts put a hello kitty sticker on the forklift that worked the best and had the smoothest steering etc, just so he could always ride it bc his male colleagues wouldn't be caught dead riding the hello kitty forklift LMAO

Dude my parents bought me a girl bible when I was a teenager. I remember every second page being like "your virginity is the most important thing about you! If you touch a boy you are worthless!"

My mom bought me a “teen girl bible” because someone had purchased one as a gift for her. She made such a big deal out of it that I felt obligated to read it. Literally couldn’t. It’s so fucking boring. Can’t get past the first five pages. I told her, and she said you’re “supposed to get over that and just read it.” No thanks. If god wanted me to read it so bad, he’d be a better author 💀
The "to risk their life in the admirable fight for crude oil" line took me all the way out. The screams i scrumpt.
They should release the "healthy way of dealing with feelings and emotions FOR MEN" 🤯
fr, we need therapy FOR MEN!!! 😤😡😈
Jesus Christ we’re going to end up feminine in pant suits married to feminines in dresses and still fighting about made up shit
Naah, you'd have to call it "Beat up your mental health problems" or "How to deal with MANLY feelings and TOUGH emotions like an ALPHA MALE"
THERES A BILLBOARD NEAR WHERE I LIVE THAT ADVERTISES "therapy for MEN" "duck tape cant fix your mental health" ITS SO FUNNY 😭😭
This made me giggle a bit
Edit: I went back to this comment read the replies and laughed harder
I had a girl bible when I was little and I remembered reading it and finding a chapter on how to be a good wife and a lot of it was like “your husband knows everything, if he hurts you, you deserved it” like holy guacamole dude, that messed me up
Yikes, that's so sad.
What in the f...? Srsly?! That's horrible! Who on earth thought it was a good idea to literally alter religious texts (like isn't that blasphemy?) and write bible fanfiction straight off of wattpad full of harmful messages then market it to little girls?!
was this from a particular denomination/cult? Mormon?
@@newgabe09 I was told that stuff as a former Christian😂
@@ThePopo543 the people who make those kids bibles don’t consider it blasphemous because the Christian Bible is actually full of that sort of “wives exist to serve their men” rhetoric. So they see those editions basically as “translations” for kids. They don’t understand or consider those things harmful, they just think that’s how the world should work and so they teach kids the same.
When I went off to college, a family friend got me a tool set ~for her~. Bright pink plastic everywhere. And let me tell you--the hammer was the only thing in there that wasn't a complete piece of crap. The grip on the pliers handles twists and slides with the slightest pressure, the screwdriver head warped after assembling a few bookshelves, and the utility knife casing was so flimsy I didn't trust it to hold together. It's like they made it to sit on a shelf and never be used.
Yeah. I saw that for the first time when I was 60 years old and working in an office. I was sorting through a filing cabinet for things to toss out and this pink abomination of a toolkit came up. I couldn't believe it. I had my own tools for simple household repairs/picture hanging since my twenties and my toolbox was my favorite color - blue. I read Consumer Reports before I bought my tools and got the good stuff. Apparently some office supply company thought pink would be a good color for the presumed female office manager if she had to tighten a bolt.
Craziest one was definitely a Facebook ad I got for "Steel Stool" a fiber supplement for men that had a tagline about how "you deserve to ghost wipe"
I was vibing to the barbie girl part and you just killed my vibe with this statement
@@BrandonDenny-we1rw I experienced the same fr😂
Boy Bible: “Noah’s arc was gross! 🤢 💩”
Girl Bible: “Imagine living on Noah’s arc with all the cute wittle animals 🥹😍”
Not even, the girls Bible is always about imagining that you were a woman who is sold to a man and will never see her family again!😂 or that you were some sinful devil, woman, and how you would repent.

I think it's important to note that in the majority of these cases, the "women's" products are astronomically more expensive than the men's for absolutely no reason other than being pink.
Yea but they’re pink
And women buy them cause it works not only on men, otherwise they wouldn't do it.
Which is wild considering women earn less than men
Pink products are typically more difficult to produce since the color is more rare. Also women's products usually have random extra crap thrown into them for no reason. For the record, I think gendered products are stupid, but there is a reason that women's products cost more.
not only that but they’re typically smaller than men’s products as well!
i was talking to my aunt once who told me that a women at her church got a "study bible for woman" that was approved by her pastor. turns out it was A.I generated and just literaly got most of the scripture wrong
The craziest gendered product I've ever seen was a calculator for women, I was like what the💀(ended up buying it cuz it was pink)
i’ll never forget my mom buying pens for women so the guys she worked with would stop stealing her pens. they wouldn’t touch the pink 😭
At some point, this becomes a challenge to see how far you can push a man before he gives up on avoiding pink
@@mrfrogkingg slowly colouring their everyday objects pink until they give up
thats honestly so sad
are men ok
jk, we know they're not
Now I do the same with a rainbow 🌈 tape😂 they don't even walk in front of my pencils
The girl hammer is actually better than a regular hammer- bright pink is highly visible, so you're less likely to lose your tool on a busy worksite!
I have pink router bits because high vis is great when shit is flying everywhere
I've lost my dark blue screwdriver so many times in NOT cluttered environments because it blends in with literally everything: shadows, darker counters, etc
In hindsight a bright pink one would have been a blessing
@@Anankin12 Yeah my GF bought a novelty bright pink 'girly' pair of pliers a few years back. Ended up in my toolbox, and one of my most heavily used pliers until they eventually broke, for that exact reason.
They're also usually made for people with smaller hands, if you happen to just be a smaller person
Yeah, my hammer that I definitely use often has a bright yellow handle. It stands out much more
I also hate when sports are gendered. There are sports for girls and boys, but as a teenage girl sometimes when I say “Oh yea I play soccer too!” to someone they’re like “Soccer’s for men.” (real story btw :) ). It’s tiring to hear people say softball is easier than baseball, yes some parts are, but some parts aren’t THEY ARE DIFFERENT SPORTS! I’m just sick of hearing it because if women weren’t allowed to play it, why’d they make sports for women. Sorry for the vent, that’s just all my opinion.
Here to say I completely agree. As a boy I really felt like I was expected to just know all the sports teams by heart and tune into games and get really into games but during practices I'd always wait for it to be over. I feel like sports shouldn't be treated like a gendered activity. Some people are just not interested in something like that. It turns girls away from something they could really enjoy and forces pressure on boys to do something not all of them want to do, all in great worship of the mighty Y chromosome. Although that's basically the story of gender norms in a nutshell
@@MisterMistopher 👍You're so cool tbh, sorry that you felt kinda pressured into participating in sports just because of your gender
I always remember my son, being about 3 yrs old, came upon my mom painting her nails. He got really excited and wanted his done. She said no dear, this is only for girls. 30 yrs later i still remember his crestfallen, hurt look. My mom was a lovely woman and i loved her dearly. She was just a product of her time. The world is so crazy. But i think its getting better. The kids today are forcing that. The kids are alright.
Kurtis there’s actually a massive difference between boy products and girl products that I’m surprised you didn’t catch. The woman products always cost more for the same thing!
But but it’s pink
Yup and this price difference is called 'pink tax'. They increase the prices of products targeted towards women because they want to make it more appealing
Pink tax baybee
Can you share a couple examples?
@@orna8369 *sobs*
I’ve been a girl who always loved pink and hyper-feminine things, but some products made for women, especially hygiene, do the opposite of help clean. The one’s that “relieves feminine odor” actually harm women’s ph balance and possibly make the problem worse.
THISSSS OMG YEAH- they advertise it and it’s not even good for that area!!! Just use warm water!! 😭😭
LMAOOO “FEMININE ODOR” 💀💀💀 PLEASEEE THAT SOUNDS LIKE WE’RE A DIFFERENT SPECIES
YESSS.I’ve been saying this forever that you’re not supposed to use soap. The vagina is a self cleaning organ. Just use warm water.
@@juliabrown39LMAOOOO FR.
@@juliabrown39it’s another thing made to make women feel nasty. Body hair? Normal on men, nasty on women. Makeup? Men can’t wear that, but women have to wear it or they’re not fixed up enough, they’re not putting in enough effort. Normal bodily scents? Disgusting, apparently.
Okay as someone who used to do competition shooting which requires ear and eye protection, the women’s earplug thing is kinda legit if you’re a woman with smaller ears like me. The regular earplugs that they had at the shooting range still worked fine but I can understand how they would get uncomfortable for someone with smaller ears than mine
Dont forget about the "girl lego" that is stupid. Growing up I had cabbage patch dolls, hotwheels, my little pony, robotics, etc.
I raised my kids the same, and when my son was two he asked for a baby doll so I got him one. He didn't know that dolls are supposedly for girls, he just wanted a baby to care for like his older sister.
The worst gendered product I've come in contact with is for sure "Pinky Gloves". It was a product on German Shark Tank and essentially a pink one-time-use plastic glove to remove a tampon with (of course, it was pink), so women wouldn't have to touch their 'gross' hygiene products and (of course more importantly) so men didn't have to see a tampon in the bathroom bin. The male sharks were ecstatic and called it revolutionary, but after the episode aired, the company had to backtrack and apologise pretty quickly. So yeah, women apparently need pink gloves in order not to touch their own bodies or make men feel uncomfortable. Hooray!
🤣
Omg
no that is just stupid i get it if many woman find it gross (i do sometimes) but if you do so desire there are regular gloves that gynecologists use safely. i hope it was sold by a woman at least
Guess bro’s never heard of toilet paper? Why not just use it to pull it out and wrap it up before throwing away like most people???
@@madforgames1789 nope, two dudes
my problem isn’t that it’s pink, it’s that the pink one is like twice the price and sometimes doesnt even work as well 😭
Pink tax
Ugh tell me about it! Every single "women's razor" I've ever used was absolute trash! You literally have to go over the same area like 5 times for it to remove the hair completely, AND it scrapes off your skin and leaves itchy rashes everywhere with that gross "gel" or whatever that purple stuff is on top of the blades! And they expect people to pay like $10 for this junk?
But the Bic dollar store razors? Buy a twelve-pack for $1 and you'll get Sweeny Todd levels of smooth.
@@ThePopo543i love the target shaving cream in the scent ocean it’s so much better and it’s like 2 dollars
Like he mentioned though, it feels really patronising to have normal things marketed like that, you feel like a child
That "Gender? I hardly know...........them...?" Got a bigger giggle out of me than it should have. Reminded me of a joke a coworker told me years ago: "Transgender? I hardly know him!"
i’m laughing so fucking hard and not even bc of the video but bc at 12:12 when it played the eagle sound my birds started chirping thinking it was another bird in the room
as a women i hate the gendered products when it’s unnecessary. one thing that he left out is the pink tax and that often times women’s products are more expensive just because they are pink. that is something important i encourage everybody to learn about. great video tho
Yep. And there’s also weirdly sexual infant clothing- it’s fucking gross 🤢
But yea- stuff like pads and tampons are expensive for no good reason other then men wanting to make money :,)

I’m not embarrassed to say that everything Kurtis said to make fun of motor oil shampoo just made me want it more. Pretending I’m a car getting an oil change while taking a shower sounds like the highlight of my day.
Yeah I'm conflicted over gendered products because on one hand they're obviously sexist and on the other hand so much of the marketing (at least on the men's side) is so over the top that it becomes camp.. (though whether those companies are In on it is debatable)
Honestly I would dig a shampoo that comes in a bottle that looks pink of like motor oil and makes your hair smell like a new car. It’s not a strong or overwhelming scent, it’s not unpleasant, and also imagine how thematically relevant it would be if your job centered on cars
You must be very MANLY then. You are a man right?! If you’re a woman you’re not allowed to use it!! 🙄
If it wasn’t specifically marketed towards men, it would be great. Just a general “makes you smell like car” shampoo would be hilarious but great for people.

@@Leah-up8pm thank you for asking! Witchcraft is different for everyone. There are different types of witches, different pantheons, different practices, belief systems, etc! I personally believe in the possibility that any god could exist, and very likely does. I'm what's called a green witch, so I work very closely with nature, the earth, plants, herbs, animals, etc. and worship nature and the earth herself. I also worship the ancient celtic god Cernunnos, the horned god of nature, wild spaces, fertility, primal instincts, beasts, animals, etc. It can be quite complicated, so if you'd like to learn more I highly suggest you do some research of your own! :))

i remember having a mostly pink room before i realized i was trans. istg i was brainwashed by my mom to like pink or some shit cause the whole damn room was pink.
now i dont live with my mother and there is no pink in sight in my room lol
As a trans dude I actually kinda like the color pink, even got some pink pajamas. It's ok to be a dude and have pink in your room lol (just saying my opinion, not trying to be rude haha)
@@YourLocalNintendo well yeah lol ofc but my room was very femme in general and i didn't vibe with it.
also i just dont like pink anymore lmao
Craziest gendered thing I’ve come across had to have been the Dr Pepper ‘for men’. They called it ‘Dr Pepper 10’ and the announcement post for it was like ‘24 bold flavors- only 10 MANLY calories’ which is just insane for a soda btw. I remember one day I accidentally drank some of it and didn’t realize this Dr Pepper was for MEN ONLY- but instead of exploding ( as all women do when taking men’s products instead of women’s), nothing happened. Anyways that’s how I found out I was trans.
Yorkie chocolate bars and McCoys crisps used to claim to be only for men and not for girls when I was a kid. Theyve completely 180° on that marketing now though 😅
Bravo. Highly underrated comment 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
That's the real gender reveal. If a man drinks it and explodes, sorry, you're a woman. If a woman drinks it and doesn't explode, funny story, you're actually a man. And if you are either man or woman and only explode a little bit, welcome to the inside of the gender spectrum.
best way to find out imo
LOL HAHA No woman freaks out using men's products. Chill out.
This is proven by the fact that
Men's marketing targets their ego, woman's marketing targets their insecurities.
As a girl, I can confirm that we never poop. Ever. It’s actually kind of concerning.
isnt it to retain nutrients so you can asexually reproduce? cuz I know when the boy has his thingy and it touches the girl that they make the baby together but when there are no boys you can still make a baby but its harder?
@@raspberryjam no... you need a dude to make a baby
@@karissa-tkacz well yeah you need a boy to give the baby a y cromozone to make more boys but if you have one girl she can give the baby to the baby two x cromomons and you dont need a boy
i know what will fix that… pink dulcolax
Every girl is born extremely constipated 😎
Pink tools are perfect for guys who keep getting their stuff stolen at job sites because no one steals pink tools :D
As a person who has history with laxative abuse, especially with dulcolax, I can confirm that when the tablets start to kick in it is probably the most painful thing I have ever experienced. Also got me admitted to hospital a few times
Hope you have been doing well
Calling a woman a "b*tch" implies she's too aggressive, calling a man a "b*tch" implies he's not aggressive enough. That's stupid.
Cause either way, being called too much of a woman is an insult! /s🙄
it is stupid but at the same time with that logic I suppose it kind of does? the logic itself is ridiculous though lol

Had to pause at the War Paint section, because man does it irk me.
Apparently back in the 70s there was also a brand of makeup called "War Paint".... and it was aimed at women. With the idea that to exist in the world as a woman, you had to put on your war paint.
So there's like, this extra layer of yuck to a new brand of makeup taking that name and just using it to try and Sound Manly instead of try to make an actual statement.

I’m pretty sure dulcolax isn’t actually a stool softener, but instead a stimulant laxative that basically makes your intestines forcibly contract to push the stool out, which actually can be quite painful (though very effective)

As a Sephora employee my hope dies every time someone comes in asking for “skin care for men”
its a well known fact that women don't have skin
@@bogwife7942 men do have somewhat different skin though... thicker, oilier, more pigmented and textured, so it would actually make sense to have skincare for men with higher concentrations of actives like AHA/BHA for example, whereas skincare for women could focus more on collagen production.

im a nursing student and i recently worked on the newborn unit where they only had green, orange and yellow jumpsuits with animals on them which i rlly liked bc i thought that that way they wouldnt do that whole “girl-pink and boy-blue” thing. so i once took a jumper with a green elephant and wanted to bring it to a girl baby when a nurse stopped me and said i should take one with a yellow giraffe instead bc its “more girly”….. like bro its fucking animals what are u talking about
I fully read that as eggplant for some reason but animal onsies are so fucking cute, I wish that would spread to every hosptial
Id of told her nah its fine
what the fuck 💀 people will find any way to separate others, so wild
Ick. It’s probably because an elephant is physically stronger than a giraffe. I hate gender roles.
elephants are obviously all boys and giraffes are obviously all girls

i actually did get my dad a pink shirt last christmas and he said “it looks great on me but i have to return it, my coworkers will bully me.” i convinced him to wear it to work just once, and you know what? nobody said a THING. he didn’t even get a funny look. he was totally fucking floored. it’s almost like all of these rules about gender are completely arbitrary and all they do is keep people from realizing their full potential!
men are the leading party in being great at dragging down other men
Yup 👍
I remember in high school when all of those "real men wear pink" pink shirts were coming out and literally nobody cared and all the guys wearing them would keep being like "hey maaan, look at my shirt! It's so funny right?" because that was the only way to get anyone to even notice the shirt

I feel like the real problem is the underlying misogyny and gender roles associated with gendered products, not gendered products themselves. It's perfectly fine to make products feminine and make other products masculine. Some people simply prefer one or the other The problem arises when you advertise them to specific genders and judge people for using other products.
Petsmart sells gendered birthday cakes for dogs, but while the boxes are pink and blue and say "for girl dogs" and "for boy dogs," the cakes inside are 100% identical.
And which one is more expensive?
And what percentage of the color on the box can those colorblind-ass dogs make out anyway lmao
How will my sweet corgi know that I’m aware she’s a girl if the box on the snack she’s gonna forget about isn’t pink? 😂
@@liablau I use to work there, they are the same price actually
I got my girl dog the "boy dog" cake because a) It was the only one left and 2) I liked the blue one more than pink
dogs arent even sexually dimorphic ffs😭 why are we imposing gender roles onto them
as an interesting side note, i have a cat and a snake, and ive noticed that even besides the general rule that unknown gender of animal=male, people are significantly more likely to gender my snake as male and my cat as female, even though in truth its the reverse. i think its because we associate being gracile, soft and temperamental with being feminine, and being primarily composed of muscle, teeth and anger issues as being masculine, regardless of how aware we may be of those stereotypes or how true they actually are. its kinda funny how animals who do not have the concept of gender whatsoever get lumped in with our cultural assumptions about what it means to be a man or woman. I suppose the animals themselves dont really care either way though.
I wrote an essay on gendered products for one of my class assignments a few months ago and a lot of the products targeted towards women are also more expensive than those targeted towards men and it s honestly so frustrating
yes the pink tax is so frustrating
The pink tax is so dumb
Oh and don’t forget the fact the women’s clothing is usually lower quality even tho it’s more expensive
it makes em break faster- which means theyll be replaced faster

I fell for War Paint.
Spent a small fortune on it after seeing it on Dragons’ Den (UK Shark Tank).
Female makeups often contain shimmer elements that I wanted to avoid at all costs. I also don’t want to look like I’m wearing makeup and this is designed in that way.
and? did it work tho?
@@Maddie-eu8xv it works if you don’t see people who know you day-in day-out, or, they’ve not seen you before you start using it.
No matter how good your skin is people notice when you’re two shades closer to Trump, and have the same even complexion every morning.
By the end of the day it can become more noticeable, especially for people with moderate to oily skin.
The concealer is good but it does wear off, again to keep it unnoticeable I didn’t apply heavily.
I happily wear it with my mates and for going out. I give it a pass around family and work associates.
The rupaul lyric joke is severely underrated
i had a girls bible as a kid and i hated it. it was weird, objectified women, and told girls how to behave. it said stuff talking about women like “her thighs were lined with lilies” and told me to pretty much not show my feelings or emotions because saying my opinion was disobedient and would disappoint god. it also tried to hide that sex was a real thing but saying only boys and girls can be together at the same time💀
sounds like the average experience growing up as a girl in a religious family
so... just like the real bible...
That is revolting oml
That sucks. My girl Bible just had modern day stories interspersed of women and girls talking about how a passage from the Bible helped them. I can see I got out lucky
My religious school did a separate course that was just religious studies but for girls and it was essentially how to be a pious wife to your future husband backed by out of context religious quotes. Being obedient and submissive to your husband, household chores, child bearing and being a firm with your religion. We were like 10-11yrs old and no they boys had nothing like this. They were either outside playing basketball or it would be general free time for them

I can't say I blame you. All these gendered products are insane, especially the ones for babies and toddlers. I hope you're able to continue avoiding the gendered things for your child. Though, I feel like it's hard to find baby or toddler clothing that doesn't have something with 'boy' or 'girl' on it. I see it everywhere in shops and there are usually only a few items that aren't too gender-specific or worded like it. lol You sound like pretty cool parents. Hope you and your family are doing well!

I had a “god for girls” booklet when I was a younger child and I used to read it when I was 10 before being like “this kind of sucks I’d rather be cool” and then became an “I’m not like other girls” girl because I kept getting the “for girls” stuff and it felt like I was being put in a box. I’ve since got over that phase of my life but the “for girls” to “not like other girls” pipeline is so strong.
I was the exact same way, I hated being put into that box that I recognized at a really early age. I started telling people that for gifts I wanted things that were made for boys, or mens clothing and stuff and I will never forget the look on my family's horrified faces as they told me that was ridiculous.
@@Kanik_Crowsame except I actually realized I was trans along the way, and now am trying to work on accepting the feminine side of myself. For example, my favorite color has been pink my entire life but I’ve never wanted to admit to it out of embarrassment, but now I plan on going all out for the Barbie movie and show off all the pink clothing I hide in my wardrobe, right now me and my boyfriend are looking for matching shirts!
@@E_miliopink is my favourite colour too! I really like the purpley pinks a lot. It took a bit of self reflection to get to this point though. Even though I’m a girl I was raised to not be “girly” and a crybaby and if I showed emotion I’d get shamed. I proudly embrace pink now :)
this is why justpearlythings is the way she is
I think this happens for a lot of girls, especially those born in the 2000s
