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!
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
as a sephora worker, the amount of times I get male customers that come in asking if we have ‘mens skincare’ products as if we all dont have skin concerns
I just hate when they think skin care is just for women or they think it’s “gay” to use💀 Skin care is meant for all genders not just for one 😭 sometimes men are too much bro
"do y'all have men's sunscreen? if not, i'm not buying" my brother in christ you're gonna get skin cancer just to keep being a bigot? .... actually, don't buy it. we only have girls sunscreen.
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.
@@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.
When my nephew was born, my sister bought clothing in gender neutral colors, sometimes even buying things specifically for girls, because a baby won't give a heck what color it's wearing or if a shirt's covered in daisies. His toys have consistently been a mix of Legos, baby dolls, toy kitchen stuff, plastic dinosaurs, and Matchbox cars. She and her husband try to instill in him a sense that girls are just the same as him, and hopefully he doesn't fall into the same issues other boys his age might, now that he's in school.
I did the same with both of my girls. They both went through a princess phase and we both blame my husband, who loves sparkly stuff 😂 I still say, you haven't lived until you've been roared at by a princess dinosaur ❤❤
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
@@sugasnaps Nice trick! Just goes to show the extent of the mental problem.... Men pretend they are so logical and strong: yet their masculinity is SO FRAGILE. Also "men moar logical than wamyn" is just another myth that wont F die! People are people: we have clueless ones on all sides.... DUH.
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.
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.
13:47 when i was a kid i had a book in beautiful black and pink called something like "a girl's guide to everything" and it had a lengthy section on occult practises
Ah yes, the phase every girl ever goes through where they tap into their latent pagan roots and become witches for a lil bit. Some never leave that phase, just like how some never stop being goth, but it's a fun time no matter how long it lasts. Anyway, see you gals at the devil's sacrament! I'm bringing the chips and guac this time :3
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 💀
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 😅
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.
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 woman who worked as a mechanic for years it was one of the most annoying things in the world to see tools marketed towards women that were actually more expensive because they were pink and sometimes they weren't even high quality. Since I was the only woman mechanic in most of the shops that I ever worked in, the only real advantage to having pink tools in the shop would be that everyone would know who the tool belonged to. Of course, I could accomplish this task by just carving my name in my tools or painting them whatever the hell color I wanted. When I got my big toolbox for the shop, all the men expected me to get a pink one but my favorite color was orange so I got the biggest and brightest orange toolbox that I could find. Tools are for all genders.
Tools is an important part of human history too. They've existed since prehistoric times. They're species specific not gender specific. We designed them for our own survival originally too so that's just fucking weird to put a pink tax on it.
this, i was looking for this. I'm a butcher and even the differences in ppe gear is insane. My coworker's apron is shorter, thinner, starts at the chest rather than covering it, the gumboots are flimsy and end at the mid calve when it really should end just below your knee if you don't want to drench your pants every day. Trying to get her a mesh glove was such a pain because 'they don't make that for women, it won't be in your size' said the office. As if there's never been a woman in the meat processing industry, like she's the very first one and we're somehow writing history. It's a joke, really, the trade is suffering enough and they push literally half of the population out of the job because woman no hands - no glove.
My mother was a Harley mechanic for years and to this day, dudes still assume she doesnt know what she's talking about when it comes to motorcycles. It's insane.
@@Snake3417 The funny thing about it is that pink being a girl colour is a *super* recent modern invention. Theres literally a wikipedia article about it, they have examples as recent as the 1930s of people saying things like "traditionally, boys wore pink and girls wore blue, but in some parts of the US its starting to switch." edit: ok i actually watched the video and realized he talks about this my b
@@sidneytheapprenticeI noticed that also in certain parts of healthcare, such as EMS, where even getting the necessary boots and tactical pants are a nightmare for women
0:50 this video is older, but i was reminded of it when i went to the philly international airport recently. i'm non-binary, and fairly neutral, so i went into the women's bathroom, saw the line, and decided to try the men's room. it was mostly empty, but it was also one of the most repulsive places i've ever been. there was shit smeared across the floor and toilet paper on the walls. never going in a men's room again if i can avoid it.
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...
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 ❤
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 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 :(
A very distinct childhood memory I have is cackling over a men's shampoo commercial with my cousin. The tagline was "Beer shampoo, for the Manly Man." A decade later and it's still golden.
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!
@@Z_ayypink 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 :)
I think this happens for a lot of girls, especially those born in the 2000s It’s funny bc now as an adult I love hyperfeminine stuff. But as a kid I hated it bc it felt so demeaning
I’m a girl and I’ll never forget the time my mom visited me and asked why I used Aquafresh toothpaste, because “that’s a boy’s brand of toothpaste.” I was dying laughing trying to figure out her reasoning for gendering toothpaste.
Honestly only Toothpaste and a few other things don’t need to be split between men and women. But soap is the only thing that needs to be split. Not many man want to smell like a girl.
He didn't even cover the "Pink Tax," which I highly suggest looking up! As a non-denominational Christian, there's a huge toxic pressure put on girls in purity culture as well. Boys are encouraged to start families and all I was ever told as a girl was that I was going to marry a man and have kids...that's it. Makeup was also worn by men first as well! Thx for the accurate vid Kurtis ❤
Eh makeup was first worn by both genders at the same time tens or even hundreds of thousands of years before written history when we were still hunter gatherers as part of ceremony or practical needs, and throughout time has continued to be worn by both genders even to this day, although a stigma of males wearing it came about in the 19th century with the rise of the cosmetic industry as part of the Industrial Revolution, but don’t let this fool you as men in powerful and influential positions all around the world still routinely wear makeup, it’s just not vocally stated, again due to this relatively recent stigma.
That pink dulcolax thing he showed was a dollar more expensive than the other one. Like everything is designed so that women would be encouraged to spend and to have less money of their own overall.
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
When I was working at walmart I had a lady who was trying to find a "masculine" loofah for her husband but the only ones we were able to find were different shades of pink and she just kept getting more and more upset because the pink would just wreck her husband's clearly fragile masculinity Edit: I'm not saying people aren't allowed to have preferences, just that it was kind of silly how genuinely upset she was that she couldn't find a different color. y'all take things too seriously
My parents had it figured out, they just had their 3 kids pick a color one time and that was our color forever. It eliminated a lot of fights, it gave us a sense of individuality, it saved my parents money to be able to just buy all of us the same items in different colors, it was a gender neutral way of color coding their kids, and it helped them keep track of us and our stuff anywhere we went. Lost your kids in a snowstorm? Just look for the yellow, pink and blue scarves and you've found them.
The best example I can give of this. Is when I was a wee little girl, I wanted to join my dad on every construction job he had. Major daddy's girl. My mom (bless her heart), got me an entire toolbag. Had everything, wrenches, hammer, phillips screwdriver. I still keep some of those tools around. The catch? Entire thing is bright pink. And my dad didn't understand why I suddenly lost interest in joining him on the job... I just wanted tools like him :(
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!
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
@@SolaceMcfly Sadly a lot of eco friendly products are. I have to order my laundry detergent sheets online but I have a subscription so they send them to me automatically.

I had a version of the Bible as a kid meant for girls and it had whole sections on “being modest” but also “smiling more” and “obeying your parents in a godly way”
That sucks it's really bad to hide your emotions, but every time you show emotion as a woman, it's ether, You're to emotional, Maby it's that time of the month..., because apparently depression and trauma don't exist for women Edit: How tf did this get so many likes in a day?!

My son passed away in the NICU at 11 days old last year and the nurses apologized to me because the only resting gown available had pastel rainbow hearts and they were out of the ones with baseballs for "boys".... I had picked out so many rainbow things for him and zero sports things, and I would have picked the rainbow hearts anyway if I'd been given a choice. It's so weird to say rainbows are for girls and to even apologize for it. 🤔
I’m so sorry for your loss, and I’m sure he was absolutely adored for his time on Earth and continues to live on in your heart. I’m glad the rainbow gown was available for him.
@@reallifezuzu I find that womens razors cut my face far less frequently, but mens razers can shave my legs much more quickly and smoothly. Some razor brands are labelled face razors vs body razors which I think is honestly much more accurate
24:02 (i'm bi & was raised religious, so i like knowing) the original bible actually didn't mention being gay. during translation, there was a mix up. it was supposed to say "man shall not lie with a boy", as in no pedophilia, but was translated incorrectly to "man shall not lie with man". by the time the mistake was caught, it was already too late😔👎
The exact translation of Leviticus 18:22 is Hebrew:w’eth-zäkhār lö’ tiškav miškevē ‘iššâ Literal Translation:With (a) male you shall not lie (the) lyings of a woman. (An) abomination is that.[2] NRSV Translation:You shall not lie with a male as with a woman, it is an abomination. So keep trying to pretend that the Bible approves gay sex. It doesn’t
@@SethZ22in the times the bible was written it was very common for men to sleep with other men to show dominance. Men slept with slaves etc. While having a wife and did that openly cuz it made you more manly as long as you were the top
It’s not even restricted to humans. I’ll never forget my mom getting uncomfortable with me getting a pink harness… for my male cat. She bought a camo harness for me to use instead.
I used to work in a pet store and when fitting a harness for a dog, if I even SO DARED to pick up a colour that was the “opposite” of their dog’s gender, I would be met with a grown adult going “ewwww not that one!!” Like? Firstly, let me fit the damn harness and then we can talk colours. Secondly, it’s a dog?? Fido’s winky isn’t going to fall off and have a vagina formed in its place because I fitted him with a purple harness 🙄
It's also depressing that products marketed towards women are more expensive. The "women's" laxative was a dollar more expensive than the "mens" laxative.
It's such a problem that we had to make it illegal to do that in California. It's called bill AB-1287. Other states still allow this clown fuckery to go down.
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 :,)
@@Coffeeisnecessarynowpeppernice to see you crossing the barrier (they’re great razors, I don’t blame you at all lmao) but I’m not sure this thread was the best place for you to share lol
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.
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.
@@papajohn5279true but why is a female dog “aggressive/over-dominating” if you already said it’s “proven” male dogs are more “bold and brave”? Should they not be called male dogs as more of an insult or- and why are we praising men for being male dogs?
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💀
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
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.
I worked at a big makeup store for 3 years and only once a man asked me to help him find a concealer. It was honestly so refreshing and fun to help him out, he didn't seem phased by it at all. Hot.
Exactly! Guys who are so confident in their masculinity that you could put them in a dress and they still would feel the same about themselves are so freaking hot. It seems to be a very special kind of man tho.
Big agree. Wearing pink or makeup doesn’t make you feminine, and wearing camo or combat boots doesn’t make you masculine. I think it’s almost sad how boys are so brainwashed into constantly questioning their own identity. “You’re not being boyish enough! You can’t play with those toys, you need to join a sport or get into fights and be tough!” Like that’s so sad. no, gimme a boy who will dress up like a princess with his daughter and have a tea party, because that’s a sign of love and confidence, and that’s the most attractive quality imo
tbh the mens makeup makes sense to me. Mens and womens skin is very different. Womens makeup could cause breakouts or damage your skin in less drastic ways which is honestly worst, as you might not be able to figure out whats wrong and why. And id imagine its much harder to find a match. Yea the war paint brandings a little over the top but its literally just branding. Its not that serious, its meant to stand out, be fun and memorable.
"A second spoonful of Cheerios just hit the other tower" Kurtis Conner is successful enough to get away with that kind of humor. Props to him for your great content! It deserves success!

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?!
@@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.
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!
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
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
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.
Something super interesting about the Bible thing is that the verse that everyone points to (Leviticus 18:22) was actually retranslated in the Late 1940s to Early 1950s in the King James Version. Originally, the Hebrew text mentioned man laying with child rather than man laying with man. "Do not lie with a child as one lies with a woman" was changed into "Do not lie with a man as one lies with a woman." (This quote was from my New International Version rather than king James but the sentiment stays the same). If you actually go look at the original Hebrew text, the word "man" does not appear in that verse, leading many to believe that the Church of England made the change to adapt to more LGBTQ individuals being out. So being gay was not ORIGINALLY a sin.
Honest question. What about other verses? I don't remember exactly where but I think in one of Paul's letters, it says something like "and as punishment you will be cursed so that your wives will lay with other women". I'm roughly translating from Hungarian, cause I am not rereading any part of the Bible for this
@@_jacqueyif I remember correctly, the verse is from peter, and when in context, would more than likely be referring to adultery. And, when we take into account the fact it was more than likely written by a greek (who were historicaly accepting), this is more likely to be the case
Also around 9:40 when you showed dulcolax, you could see that the price of the pink product is more than the original blue one! This happens often with female products and personally that makes me stray away from the pink because theyre typically more expensive!
It’s part of the agenda to keep women in poverty. They pay us less, charge us more, and make our products shitty so we have to buy more when they break.
I work retail in fashion and we sell a lot of neutral baby clothes, pastels, brown, green, yellow, grey (sad beige as they say) but at the register, sometimes it gives off specifics when scanned. Like it'll say "nightime bodysuit" or "stretchy rompers". One day this elderly couple bought a little white fuzzy bodysuit with a bear on it, and it scanned as "girl's bodysuit". The HORROR on their faces. They looked at eachother and then asked me if that was an error, if it was also designed for boys, and more importantly "is it masculine enough?" I had to reassure them it was completely neutral, the most important thing was the materials etc. they sat there thinking for 5minutes, then decided not to take it. It honestly made me sad to know they were so indoctrinated in this ridiculous gender separation, that they couldn't buy a 4€ onesie that would get filled with shit regardless of what colour it was.
It’s so goofy cause like, babies hardly have any build differences from one another either. It’s not like the outfit wouldn’t fit him, and it’s literally just a little bear thing. The idea that someone would be worried that the “bear is too feminine for their grandson” is very ironic
My sister is having a baby and it was honestly so annoying hearing her talk about how she wants to decorate a room this way and that way and buy these different clothes but then stopping herself saying "but what if it's a girl/boy?" As if it mattered at all. She wanted to have a room with an underwater theme, now that they've found out it's a boy her boyfriend is saying "isn't that a bit girly?" ?????? THE OCEAN? WHAT 😭
Sorry for commenting again but it annoys me beyond belief, when I have a kid I'll literally dress it up in whatever I think is cute, and then when it grows up and can pick out its own clothes, in whatever the kid wants. I saw a lovely video online once of a young boy, maybe 7 years old, skipping around being SO overjoyed wearing a skirt and it made me tear up how happy he was, and also made me so upset when I looked at all the comments :(
I remember when I was a kid at barns and noble there were gendered BIBLES, like one said “the Bible for knights” and was blue with a sword on it, and one said “the Bible for princesses”with a pink crown on top. I remember even my 8 year-old self so confused how the literal BIBLE needed gendering for children, and why I couldn’t be a knight
That specific example is definitely weird af, but I actually got a kind of "Bible for women" once and it focuses more on the women of the Bible - Esther, Ruth, Jael, Sarah, so on. It can be helpful if you think the Bible is only about dudes walking around talking about heaven, because a woman-focused Bible would have more interpretations that are favorable to women and also the always great highlight of the story about a woman stabbing a guy in the head with a tent spike (Jael!).
not surprising honestly, Christianity is big on gender roles (though more progressive churches do make an effort to move away from that) so it really only makes sense that they try to instill it young. More fundamentalist churches will go so far as to separate boys and girls for separate, gendered lessons.
When I was a teenager, my dad bought a bright pink and glittery reusable water bottle and I asked him why cause he normally bought dark colored stuff and he said that there was an issue at his work with people stealing stuff, and not only would it be easy to see if they stole it, but NO ONE stole the damn thing. He had it for ages
My family definitely pushes the gender thing. My youngest cousin is a boy. His only sibling is a girl. When I was visiting them we were making bracelets. My youngest cousin wanted to use pink and his sister made fun of him for using a girly color. It made me feel really sad in the moment that people think boys can't use anything pink because we as a society have put it as girl thing only.
It's too bad his parents dropped the ball. When my nephew was 3 or 4 he was playing with the toy kitchen setup in the aisle at Walmart. Some kid tried to tease him by saying it's a girl's toy. Without missing a beat he told the kid boys can cook too. (And this was way back in the 90s.)

Last year my husband and I had a girl, we knew the gender at 14 weeks but kept it a secret to avoid gendered items at the baby shower. Making me feel real good about that decision🙏
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!
@@ReptilianTeaDrinkerit's crazy how so many of them are also insanely creepy... please stop alluding to sex and romantic relationships on clothes for your fucking fetus
If there's a part 2, Kurtis should talk about the pink tax, aka products marketed towards women being priced higher than the comparable "male" products, even though they're effectively the same. It's discriminatory pricing causing women to pay more for things like hygiene products, and when you combine that with the fact that women make less money on average than men (due to more discrimination ofc), women get doubly screwed over. I did a whole presentation about gendered marketing in college and went to the store and compared prices and everything
yes! I've been borderline neglecting my hair by not getting it cut as often because of this. the pandemic only made pricing worse. never fails to get me heated when I see "women's cuts" as 2-3x expensive regardless of hair length the person has. doesn't matter if you want a simple cut and no extras. and guys with long hair don't get charged extra either. a large portion of people with long hair are already likely to pamper their hair and require more product, hence are likely to return often, but that's apparently not enough. like fair play if you're a boutique with 5 clients a day, but it's ridiculous at this point. barbers will often refuse to do women's hair because they lack the skill/experience ("women are too fussy"), or simply refuse anyone who presents as female because it's a place 'designated for men.' I have guy friends who get their hair cut at home because they think pricing is already too high for them, and I always have to bury the urge to complain how expensive it is for women (and those perceived as such) I wouldn't be surprised to see the next TikTok trend being dressing up as a guy just so you can actually have your ends trimmed for less than $60 (not including tip ofc).
A lot of times the "women's" products are worse, "men's" razors are sharper and more durable and "men's" clothing usually lasts longer (I think part of that is because womens' fashion trends operate on much quicker cycles though).
As a woman, the marketing also doesn’t really work because I, along with most women, automatically assume it’s more expensive when it’s pink. Ngl, sometimes I do buy things just cause they’re pink, cause well, I love pink, but stuff like razors? I usually just get men’s razors cause they are cheaper and work just as well if not better.
yeah, my last molting procedure to extrapolate the feces was really expensive, I'm starting to get really pissed at this sexism when it comes to shitting
as a trans guy when i first started shaving, i went to get aftershave and i remember seeing bottles that literally makes it look like youd use it on a car. thats not for a fresh baby boys face. i need to feel cradled in my mothers arms by my aftershave, not feel like im about to become misogynistic after one use
I spent a decade convincing my dad that dermatologists weren't hacks, plastic surgeons or like 'female' doctors?? He had rosacea on his forehead my entire childhood and complained about it daily. I would mention skincare to him but he was convinced shampoo & dove soap had him set for life. He was using bar soap on his face for his entire adult life i'm surprised he had any skin left on his face frankly. Finally he went to the dermatologist and they prescribed him something for his rosacea, which magically he said helped and he should have gone years ago wow shocking. The dermatologist & I convinced him to use facial soap and moisturizer but I had to buy them in 'masculine' bottles so he would actually put them out on his sink & use them (shoutout Clinique for having a dark grey 'boy' skincare line for all the fussy men in our lives).
As an aunt of nieces, girls definitely think "gross" stuff is hilarious. You mention farts, butts, poop, or anything like that and you're the world's greatest comedian to a bunch of kids.
My five year old niece thinks anything involving butts is the funniest shit ever. I was the exact same way at her age and to this day if I hear a fart noise I can’t stop giggling
I work at a restaurant with all wome and one Trans guy and he ironically is the ony guy that hates when we talk and joke about that stuff. It feels like the "men hating when women talk about it" dynamic.
23:12 about that. Notice the little pink ribbon thingie on the front of the box. It means they are campaigning for breast cancer research foundation called "the pink ribbon". I dont know if you have it there. But it's a huge thing in northern europe. Every October, you will start to see all these "limited edition" pink products being pushed out by the "nomral" brands, if you buy them- a certain small ammount of money will go to the foundation for cancer research. Ofc they are 10x more expensive even when it's only pennies that are actually given on to the foundation. So that's at least a part of why the box is pink. It's part of the pink ribbon - pink campaigning, bcs october is breast cancer month.
I have two kids that are under 5, a girl and a boy. My wife and I go out of our way to avoid gender norms when it comes to clothes, toys, etc. (Target had a great line of colorful shirts for boys not too long ago and I got my son a shirt with a t-rex dancing in front of a rainbow and it's like my favorite shirt ever and I wish I had one.) What's interesting is that, despite trying to educate my mom on why we're taking this approach and why we don't want gifts (especially clothes) with gross gendered phrases on them, her response is still "but your daughter says her favorite color is pink and your son is obsessed with car toys," as if that somehow proves the point that people naturally navigate to gender normative interests. The reality is that my daughter's favorite show is Paw Patrol and one of the only female characters on there is Skye, the pup who WEARS PINK. Maybe that's why my daughter loves pink? And my son was slow to walk and he loved holding a car in each hand because those were the only toys that didn't get in the way when he tried to crawl because they had wheels. Maybe that's why he loves cars toys? It's not all about boy vs girl, lol.
I remember that as a little girl I played with all kinds of toys, from barbies to toy cars so I never understood why people limit kids the toys they can play with
I knew someone who refused to let his 6 month old son wear red because it was too close to pink, and he didn't want people "mistaking him for a girl", because babies totally care.
It's so funny because pink was considered masculine because it was close to red, while blue was feminine because it's a calming color, because women = nurture.
I remember someone saying "great idea: when babies are born we should label them by color based off their genitals" sarcastically and someone was like "ew wtf" out of complete lack of self awareness and I will think about that forever
I'm not going to have a child, but if I did, I would never do this. I wouldn't tell them what gender they have to be, or try to condition them into fitting a certain role in society.
When I was little, my father bought me a toolset (for girls of course, as me, assigned female at birth, would explode touching a toolbox for men), and it was pink. I didn’t really have a problem with it being pink, but I was confused why my father didn’t have a pink toolbox. He proceeded to tell me it was because I was a girl and should like girly things. My mom bought me a Bible ‘for girls’, and all it had in it was a HEAVILY altered version of the Bible, saying it would be ‘useful’ for when I ‘became a wife’ and took care of ‘my children’ that i apparently HAD to have. Anyway, I’m lesbian now.
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 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? 😂
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.
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.
yknow my sister had this pink interactive book with like female models that you would draw clothes on and it had jewelry stickers on it and i stole it cause it was so cool
Ah yes, as I female whenever I see pink my uterus calls out to me and says “pink me need” and I automatically buy it so I can be my amazing hyper feminine girl self! 💓💗🌸💐🌺🌷🎀
I used to work at a science museum for children and we'd host events and birthday parties where I would sometimes work as a facepainter. I had the sweetest little boy come up and ask for a bat🦇 facepaint, but he wanted it pink and yellow. His parents were like disproportionately upset by this and they wouldn't let me paint it how he wanted. I always felt so sad for these young boys being stifled in such a way. Just let them like what they like! I don't understand why it's such a big deal to people.
I've done a lot of face painting, too, and run into some of that. I recall one boy who wanted a crown on his cheek, and the other boys started giving him a hard time because, "Crowns are for girls." I responded that kings also wear crowns. The boy nodded in agreement, and he got his crown. I was pretty impressed with how he didn't let their comments make him insecure. 👑
I saw a really fascinating documentary on the BBC a few years ago, where they eliminated gender roles from a class of young school kids. they could all play with all the toys, they all got talked to the same by adults, etc etc. and over time, all the kids seemed a lot happier? like, the boys were allowed to express their emotions better so were less likely to resort to anger, and the girls were more confident, that kind of thing. definitely worth a watch if you can find it. it was called No More Boys And Girls
Were the parents on board with it so they also had generally gender neutral households? Or was being treated equally at school the sole reason for improvement? Super cool I may give it a watch
I wished people would raise kids like that more and give kids a choice to be who they are and a chance to express themselves in healthy ways! That’s a nice idea (and very healthy for childhood and adulthood development), if I ever had a kid, I’d always imagined that I would raise them in that way
The color swap (pink/boys, blue/girls) happened relatively recently too. All the early Disney princesses wore blue, because that was the feminine color back then.
It goes waaaay further than this. Back then when men killed preys, they were expected to cry or at least show compassion for the animal. They also wore PINK because it represented BLOOD as them being "warriors"...... Men keep telling women dont kmow what they wnat/think and are illogical etc: while men do the same constantly and it has been proven so many times, yet they get away with it.
@@FocusedFighter777apparently women’s hormones are closest to men’s during menstruation. Which is hilarious, given that it’s during that time that dudes are all like ‘are you on your period?’ any time a woman gets annoyed, and it turns out that that’s just what men are like all the time.
They were never swapped. It's true that gendering color is a recent thing, but blue was never the feminine color, it has been used in male clothing and uniforms for a long time.
18:42 I feel like when they have a women version but not a man version of things (like ear plugs) it’s probably bc the original version was created based on what’s best for a man anyway
i think what’s also super scary when it comes to gendering baby clothes is that a lot of the girls clothes have slogans that sexualise them and their bodies which is insane because they are INFANTS WTF
Oh it's not just the girls' clothes, it's also the baby boys' ones, with great quotes such as "Lock up your daughters", "Mr. Steal your girl", "Future heartbreaker", "Playboy in training", etc.
When I was a littler girl I used to always love the color blue, and black. I still do. But when those products were so appealing to me I remember everyone used to think that I wasn’t feminine and when I got a little older and used like one spray of axe in the girls locker room I could tell all the other girls were laughing at me, I honestly was pretty traumatized by that. And this video made my younger self feel like tens times better immediately. Thank you Kurtis ‼️ People still think I’m not feminine enough, but I’ve learned not to care
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
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!" Meanwhile my brother's bible was just "here are the bible characters with the highest kill count!" Needless to say I'm no longer part of the church.
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.

Same! I kind of felt stupid watching this video, because I have a whole pink tool set, pink drill. My jumper cables are pink. My truck has a pink fuzzy steering wheel and pink accents. I'm the idiot buying all these gendered products😂
Yeah thats like the flip side, theres nothing wrong with wanting that kinda stuff. The thing is that they’ll advertise that stuff to make it feel like woman HAVE to buy it and that guys CANNOT buy it. Like, no, anyone should be able to get their pink bling regardless of gender 🙏 and it its not your thing you shouldn’t feel obligated to buy it bc of gender
My mom got my brother and I gendered bibles for Christmas. I have 'facts' about biblical women in mine, and he has 'stats' of biblical men in his. We compared for shits and giggles.
as a girl raised christian- the gendered bibles happen so quick. my brothers had an even more extreme “boy bible” with chains(????) on it and mine was a girls bible that had random bits throughout mentioning the girls in the bible and how they served their husband from first person. i may try and find it and reply to this w an example. i mainly just didn’t like it growing up bc my brothers had sections for notes n maps n stuff for, yk, utilizing the bible. mine just had big ass flowers everywhere so as soon as i had money i span $50 on a bible that had maps and note taking sections. it’s rly stupid and i remember being so pissed that i had to carry around post it’s to bible camp to take notes bc my bible had no space bc of the stupid flowers lmao
Bruhhh. Personally I think it's weird how many bibles try to add their own "spin" to it or make it more appealing to a super specific demographic. In that way aren't you kind of twisting the bible?? Isn't that sacrilegious lmao 😂 I'm not christian so idk but it seems hella dumb when the author adds their own notes or changes like BRUH NAW
Kinda wild to just include random gender based commentary in the Bible. It could completely remove the context from a lot of passages I feel like. Which especially becomes an issue for adherents of biblical literacy. It bothers me so much, especially because the people concerned with biblical literacy almost never use accurate translations, and this is just starting that habit out young.
Marketing also likes to make things “for women” so they can up the price. So many items that are for women are usually the same as the “normal” or male products. But they like to say it’s special and natural for skin or hair or whatever. Basically lying and saying it’ll help beautiful aka targeting to insecurities pushed onto women by media when it’s nothing special.
Environmental Engineer here Just a reminder: just cause they say flushable, it is HIGHLY recommended you don’t flush them. Washing things like gum, fats, and heavy tissues cause huge clogs in the system. The gum and fat combine together to make an especially tough combination to break down
I have a friend that's a city engineer, and he actually has to go down into the sewers sometimes, and he says there will literally be walls of wipes combined with excrement blocking the tunnels. Get a few drinks in him and he will go on a rant about it should be illegal for these companies to market their wipes as "flushable." So yeah, I don't care if the package says "flushable" or not, I never flush them.

When I first came out as transmasc and began to transition, my mother bought me that big ass bottle of Old Spice 3-in-1 wash, bless her heart.

Wildest gendered thing I've seen was a comment section for a kid's birthday party decoration in which everyone was aggressively debating whether purple was a boy color or a girl color - resulting in the conclusion that it's okay with both, but it depends mostly on the secondary colors. (Girls can have LIGHT purple paired with pink and white...boys can have purple too if it's with green and blue. Or something like that?)
Donatello is a BOY ninja turtle, a show aimed towards boys, and he wears purple. A dark purple, not light purple, but purple is for everyone. Colors are for everyone. Its absolutely bonkers there are debates on this.
Not to mention the ‘pink tax’!! I saw Kinder Eggs, literal CHOCOLATE CANDY EGGS, in Mexico in a blue box or a pink box. No other difference. And the pink box was more expensive.
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.

When my nephew was born, my sister bought clothing in gender neutral colors, sometimes even buying things specifically for girls, because a baby won't give a heck what color it's wearing or if a shirt's covered in daisies. His toys have consistently been a mix of Legos, baby dolls, toy kitchen stuff, plastic dinosaurs, and Matchbox cars. She and her husband try to instill in him a sense that girls are just the same as him, and hopefully he doesn't fall into the same issues other boys his age might, now that he's in school.

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 💀

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 woman who worked as a mechanic for years it was one of the most annoying things in the world to see tools marketed towards women that were actually more expensive because they were pink and sometimes they weren't even high quality. Since I was the only woman mechanic in most of the shops that I ever worked in, the only real advantage to having pink tools in the shop would be that everyone would know who the tool belonged to. Of course, I could accomplish this task by just carving my name in my tools or painting them whatever the hell color I wanted. When I got my big toolbox for the shop, all the men expected me to get a pink one but my favorite color was orange so I got the biggest and brightest orange toolbox that I could find. Tools are for all genders.
Tools is an important part of human history too. They've existed since prehistoric times. They're species specific not gender specific. We designed them for our own survival originally too so that's just fucking weird to put a pink tax on it.

It's a joke, really, the trade is suffering enough and they push literally half of the population out of the job because woman no hands - no glove.

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 ❤
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 :(
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
A very distinct childhood memory I have is cackling over a men's shampoo commercial with my cousin. The tagline was "Beer shampoo, for the Manly Man." A decade later and it's still golden.
golden, cuz it's beer? get it?
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!
@@Z_ayypink 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
It’s funny bc now as an adult I love hyperfeminine stuff. But as a kid I hated it bc it felt so demeaning
I’m a girl and I’ll never forget the time my mom visited me and asked why I used Aquafresh toothpaste, because “that’s a boy’s brand of toothpaste.” I was dying laughing trying to figure out her reasoning for gendering toothpaste.

@@RealElongatedMuskrat it was a truly unforgettable moment 😂😂
For real even when I use men's deodorant, my mom hates it like bruh it does the same thing. I liked it because I prefer minty scents
Honestly only Toothpaste and a few other things don’t need to be split between men and women. But soap is the only thing that needs to be split. Not many man want to smell like a girl.
@@AVSFAITHFUL25 how tf do you smell like a girl
He didn't even cover the "Pink Tax," which I highly suggest looking up! As a non-denominational Christian, there's a huge toxic pressure put on girls in purity culture as well. Boys are encouraged to start families and all I was ever told as a girl was that I was going to marry a man and have kids...that's it. Makeup was also worn by men first as well! Thx for the accurate vid Kurtis ❤
Eh makeup was first worn by both genders at the same time tens or even hundreds of thousands of years before written history when we were still hunter gatherers as part of ceremony or practical needs, and throughout time has continued to be worn by both genders even to this day, although a stigma of males wearing it came about in the 19th century with the rise of the cosmetic industry as part of the Industrial Revolution, but don’t let this fool you as men in powerful and influential positions all around the world still routinely wear makeup, it’s just not vocally stated, again due to this relatively recent stigma.
That pink dulcolax thing he showed was a dollar more expensive than the other one. Like everything is designed so that women would be encouraged to spend and to have less money of their own overall.
in the picture of the stool softeners the ducloease pink is a buck more
High heels were also worn by men first, and caring about fashion used to be "a men's thing".
You're non-denominational and fundie? How?
"y/n nibbled on noahs ear" took me out 😭😭😭
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

When I was working at walmart I had a lady who was trying to find a "masculine" loofah for her husband but the only ones we were able to find were different shades of pink and she just kept getting more and more upset because the pink would just wreck her husband's clearly fragile masculinity
Edit: I'm not saying people aren't allowed to have preferences, just that it was kind of silly how genuinely upset she was that she couldn't find a different color. y'all take things too seriously
Who's really fragile here though? This could very well just be her
my brother had a "masculine loofah" LOL it came with mens body wash. it was red and black. it had an exfoliating side.
@@RayenTheBuzzybeeheyy! i have that same one its really nice
They do make manly loofahs so it clearly is important to somebody.
To use in their own private home. *Hilarious* tbh
My parents had it figured out, they just had their 3 kids pick a color one time and that was our color forever. It eliminated a lot of fights, it gave us a sense of individuality, it saved my parents money to be able to just buy all of us the same items in different colors, it was a gender neutral way of color coding their kids, and it helped them keep track of us and our stuff anywhere we went. Lost your kids in a snowstorm? Just look for the yellow, pink and blue scarves and you've found them.
Omg same!! My parents did the exact same with exactly those colors lmao
@@liablau omg haha must be something about the ease of using primary colors

Ahh same here! Mine was green, my little brother had pink and my little sister had red. It made everything so easy.
When did you pick?
The best example I can give of this. Is when I was a wee little girl, I wanted to join my dad on every construction job he had. Major daddy's girl. My mom (bless her heart), got me an entire toolbag. Had everything, wrenches, hammer, phillips screwdriver. I still keep some of those tools around. The catch? Entire thing is bright pink. And my dad didn't understand why I suddenly lost interest in joining him on the job...
I just wanted tools like him :(
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

I had a version of the Bible as a kid meant for girls and it had whole sections on “being modest” but also “smiling more” and “obeying your parents in a godly way”
That sucks it's really bad to hide your emotions, but every time you show emotion as a woman, it's ether, You're to emotional, Maby it's that time of the month..., because apparently depression and trauma don't exist for women

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!

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.

I worked at a big makeup store for 3 years and only once a man asked me to help him find a concealer. It was honestly so refreshing and fun to help him out, he didn't seem phased by it at all. Hot.
Exactly! Guys who are so confident in their masculinity that you could put them in a dress and they still would feel the same about themselves are so freaking hot. It seems to be a very special kind of man tho.
Big agree. Wearing pink or makeup doesn’t make you feminine, and wearing camo or combat boots doesn’t make you masculine. I think it’s almost sad how boys are so brainwashed into constantly questioning their own identity. “You’re not being boyish enough! You can’t play with those toys, you need to join a sport or get into fights and be tough!” Like that’s so sad. no, gimme a boy who will dress up like a princess with his daughter and have a tea party, because that’s a sign of love and confidence, and that’s the most attractive quality imo
tbh the mens makeup makes sense to me. Mens and womens skin is very different. Womens makeup could cause breakouts or damage your skin in less drastic ways which is honestly worst, as you might not be able to figure out whats wrong and why. And id imagine its much harder to find a match. Yea the war paint brandings a little over the top but its literally just branding. Its not that serious, its meant to stand out, be fun and memorable.

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.

Something super interesting about the Bible thing is that the verse that everyone points to (Leviticus 18:22) was actually retranslated in the Late 1940s to Early 1950s in the King James Version. Originally, the Hebrew text mentioned man laying with child rather than man laying with man. "Do not lie with a child as one lies with a woman" was changed into "Do not lie with a man as one lies with a woman." (This quote was from my New International Version rather than king James but the sentiment stays the same). If you actually go look at the original Hebrew text, the word "man" does not appear in that verse, leading many to believe that the Church of England made the change to adapt to more LGBTQ individuals being out. So being gay was not ORIGINALLY a sin.
Honest question. What about other verses? I don't remember exactly where but I think in one of Paul's letters, it says something like "and as punishment you will be cursed so that your wives will lay with other women". I'm roughly translating from Hungarian, cause I am not rereading any part of the Bible for this
@@_jacqueyif I remember correctly, the verse is from peter, and when in context, would more than likely be referring to adultery. And, when we take into account the fact it was more than likely written by a greek (who were historicaly accepting), this is more likely to be the case
Also around 9:40 when you showed dulcolax, you could see that the price of the pink product is more than the original blue one! This happens often with female products and personally that makes me stray away from the pink because theyre typically more expensive!
It’s part of the agenda to keep women in poverty. They pay us less, charge us more, and make our products shitty so we have to buy more when they break.

I work retail in fashion and we sell a lot of neutral baby clothes, pastels, brown, green, yellow, grey (sad beige as they say) but at the register, sometimes it gives off specifics when scanned. Like it'll say "nightime bodysuit" or "stretchy rompers". One day this elderly couple bought a little white fuzzy bodysuit with a bear on it, and it scanned as "girl's bodysuit". The HORROR on their faces. They looked at eachother and then asked me if that was an error, if it was also designed for boys, and more importantly "is it masculine enough?" I had to reassure them it was completely neutral, the most important thing was the materials etc. they sat there thinking for 5minutes, then decided not to take it. It honestly made me sad to know they were so indoctrinated in this ridiculous gender separation, that they couldn't buy a 4€ onesie that would get filled with shit regardless of what colour it was.
oh my god that last sentence made me shit my pants (not clickbait)
It’s so goofy cause like, babies hardly have any build differences from one another either. It’s not like the outfit wouldn’t fit him, and it’s literally just a little bear thing. The idea that someone would be worried that the “bear is too feminine for their grandson” is very ironic

That specific example is definitely weird af, but I actually got a kind of "Bible for women" once and it focuses more on the women of the Bible - Esther, Ruth, Jael, Sarah, so on. It can be helpful if you think the Bible is only about dudes walking around talking about heaven, because a woman-focused Bible would have more interpretations that are favorable to women and also the always great highlight of the story about a woman stabbing a guy in the head with a tent spike (Jael!).
@@FrenkTheJoy I think then that would be more “woman of the Bible” rather then “Bible for women” because even that shouldn’t be gendered.
not surprising honestly, Christianity is big on gender roles (though more progressive churches do make an effort to move away from that) so it really only makes sense that they try to instill it young.
More fundamentalist churches will go so far as to separate boys and girls for separate, gendered lessons.
When I was a teenager, my dad bought a bright pink and glittery reusable water bottle and I asked him why cause he normally bought dark colored stuff and he said that there was an issue at his work with people stealing stuff, and not only would it be easy to see if they stole it, but NO ONE stole the damn thing.

My family definitely pushes the gender thing. My youngest cousin is a boy. His only sibling is a girl. When I was visiting them we were making bracelets.

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.

If there's a part 2, Kurtis should talk about the pink tax, aka products marketed towards women being priced higher than the comparable "male" products, even though they're effectively the same. It's discriminatory pricing causing women to pay more for things like hygiene products, and when you combine that with the fact that women make less money on average than men (due to more discrimination ofc), women get doubly screwed over. I did a whole presentation about gendered marketing in college and went to the store and compared prices and everything
I thought it was called that because the pink dyes they used were actually more expensive. Is it just an expression?
yes! I've been borderline neglecting my hair by not getting it cut as often because of this. the pandemic only made pricing worse. never fails to get me heated when I see "women's cuts" as 2-3x expensive regardless of hair length the person has. doesn't matter if you want a simple cut and no extras. and guys with long hair don't get charged extra either. a large portion of people with long hair are already likely to pamper their hair and require more product, hence are likely to return often, but that's apparently not enough. like fair play if you're a boutique with 5 clients a day, but it's ridiculous at this point.
barbers will often refuse to do women's hair because they lack the skill/experience ("women are too fussy"), or simply refuse anyone who presents as female because it's a place 'designated for men.' I have guy friends who get their hair cut at home because they think pricing is already too high for them, and I always have to bury the urge to complain how expensive it is for women (and those perceived as such)
I wouldn't be surprised to see the next TikTok trend being dressing up as a guy just so you can actually have your ends trimmed for less than $60 (not including tip ofc).
A lot of times the "women's" products are worse, "men's" razors are sharper and more durable and "men's" clothing usually lasts longer (I think part of that is because womens' fashion trends operate on much quicker cycles though).
@@prettierjesus3119pink tax is just an expression for products advertised for woman(which are usually coloured pink) are more expensive
He must not know about it because that would be perfect in a video like this
As a woman, the marketing also doesn’t really work because I, along with most women, automatically assume it’s more expensive when it’s pink. Ngl, sometimes I do buy things just cause they’re pink, cause well, I love pink, but stuff like razors? I usually just get men’s razors cause they are cheaper and work just as well if not better.
I still think the best gendered marketing idea is remarketing therapy as "interrogation".

I spent a decade convincing my dad that dermatologists weren't hacks, plastic surgeons or like 'female' doctors?? He had rosacea on his forehead my entire childhood and complained about it daily. I would mention skincare to him but he was convinced shampoo & dove soap had him set for life. He was using bar soap on his face for his entire adult life i'm surprised he had any skin left on his face frankly. Finally he went to the dermatologist and they prescribed him something for his rosacea, which magically he said helped and he should have gone years ago wow shocking. The dermatologist & I convinced him to use facial soap and moisturizer but I had to buy them in 'masculine' bottles so he would actually put them out on his sink & use them (shoutout Clinique for having a dark grey 'boy' skincare line for all the fussy men in our lives).

23:12 about that. Notice the little pink ribbon thingie on the front of the box. It means they are campaigning for breast cancer research foundation called "the pink ribbon". I dont know if you have it there. But it's a huge thing in northern europe. Every October, you will start to see all these "limited edition" pink products being pushed out by the "nomral" brands, if you buy them- a certain small ammount of money will go to the foundation for cancer research. Ofc they are 10x more expensive even when it's only pennies that are actually given on to the foundation.
So that's at least a part of why the box is pink. It's part of the pink ribbon - pink campaigning, bcs october is breast cancer month.
THANK YOU ive been scrolling so long for someone to point this out 😭😭
"It not Manly, it's Childish!" As a father, I absolutely agree.
I have two kids that are under 5, a girl and a boy. My wife and I go out of our way to avoid gender norms when it comes to clothes, toys, etc. (Target had a great line of colorful shirts for boys not too long ago and I got my son a shirt with a t-rex dancing in front of a rainbow and it's like my favorite shirt ever and I wish I had one.)
What's interesting is that, despite trying to educate my mom on why we're taking this approach and why we don't want gifts (especially clothes) with gross gendered phrases on them, her response is still "but your daughter says her favorite color is pink and your son is obsessed with car toys," as if that somehow proves the point that people naturally navigate to gender normative interests.
The reality is that my daughter's favorite show is Paw Patrol and one of the only female characters on there is Skye, the pup who WEARS PINK. Maybe that's why my daughter loves pink? And my son was slow to walk and he loved holding a car in each hand because those were the only toys that didn't get in the way when he tried to crawl because they had wheels. Maybe that's why he loves cars toys? It's not all about boy vs girl, lol.
you guys sound like amazing parents, i wish mine had been like you dude. best wishes to your family
I remember that as a little girl I played with all kinds of toys, from barbies to toy cars so I never understood why people limit kids the toys they can play with
t rex in front of a rainbow is so wholesome🥹 i love it

I'm not going to have a child, but if I did, I would never do this. I wouldn't tell them what gender they have to be, or try to condition them into fitting a certain role in society.
When I was little, my father bought me a toolset (for girls of course, as me, assigned female at birth, would explode touching a toolbox for men), and it was pink. I didn’t really have a problem with it being pink, but I was confused why my father didn’t have a pink toolbox. He proceeded to tell me it was because I was a girl and should like girly things. My mom bought me a Bible ‘for girls’, and all it had in it was a HEAVILY altered version of the Bible, saying it would be ‘useful’ for when I ‘became a wife’ and took care of ‘my children’ that i apparently HAD to have.
Anyway, I’m lesbian now.

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.
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.

I used to work at a science museum for children and we'd host events and birthday parties where I would sometimes work as a facepainter.
I had the sweetest little boy come up and ask for a bat🦇 facepaint, but he wanted it pink and yellow. His parents were like disproportionately upset by this and they wouldn't let me paint it how he wanted.
I always felt so sad for these young boys being stifled in such a way. Just let them like what they like! I don't understand why it's such a big deal to people.
I've done a lot of face painting, too, and run into some of that. I recall one boy who wanted a crown on his cheek, and the other boys started giving him a hard time because, "Crowns are for girls." I responded that kings also wear crowns. The boy nodded in agreement, and he got his crown. I was pretty impressed with how he didn't let their comments make him insecure. 👑
Bro that would've been sooooo cute!! Normalise people liking pretty color combos.
It makes boys feel alienated. We as a species have put so much pressure on our children
This happens to me a lot if you like anything that is considered femenie you will be made fun of
"they wouldn't let me"
They couldn't stop you. If it wasn't painted as he wanted, that's on you.
I saw a really fascinating documentary on the BBC a few years ago, where they eliminated gender roles from a class of young school kids. they could all play with all the toys, they all got talked to the same by adults, etc etc. and over time, all the kids seemed a lot happier? like, the boys were allowed to express their emotions better so were less likely to resort to anger, and the girls were more confident, that kind of thing. definitely worth a watch if you can find it. it was called No More Boys And Girls
Were the parents on board with it so they also had generally gender neutral households? Or was being treated equally at school the sole reason for improvement? Super cool I may give it a watch
I wished people would raise kids like that more and give kids a choice to be who they are and a chance to express themselves in healthy ways! That’s a nice idea (and very healthy for childhood and adulthood development), if I ever had a kid, I’d always imagined that I would raise them in that way
The color swap (pink/boys, blue/girls) happened relatively recently too. All the early Disney princesses wore blue, because that was the feminine color back then.
It goes waaaay further than this.
Back then when men killed preys, they were expected to cry or at least show compassion for the animal.
They also wore PINK because it represented BLOOD as them being "warriors"......
Men keep telling women dont kmow what they wnat/think and are illogical etc: while men do the same constantly and it has been proven so many times, yet they get away with it.
Oh that’s right, even in 101 Dalmatians, Pongo (dad) wears a red collar and Perdita (mom) wears a blue one. Blue will always be my favorite color. 🩵

@@FocusedFighter777apparently women’s hormones are closest to men’s during menstruation. Which is hilarious, given that it’s during that time that dudes are all like ‘are you on your period?’ any time a woman gets annoyed, and it turns out that that’s just what men are like all the time.
They were never swapped. It's true that gendering color is a recent thing, but blue was never the feminine color, it has been used in male clothing and uniforms for a long time.

Kinda wild to just include random gender based commentary in the Bible. It could completely remove the context from a lot of passages I feel like.

It bothers me so much, especially because the people concerned with biblical literacy almost never use accurate translations, and this is just starting that habit out young.

Marketing also likes to make things “for women” so they can up the price. So many items that are for women are usually the same as the “normal” or male products. But they like to say it’s special and natural for skin or hair or whatever.

Wildest gendered thing I've seen was a comment section for a kid's birthday party decoration in which everyone was aggressively debating whether purple was a boy color or a girl color - resulting in the conclusion that it's okay with both, but it depends mostly on the secondary colors. (Girls can have LIGHT purple paired with pink and white...boys can have purple too if it's with green and blue. Or something like that?)
that sounds so much like something you'd see on facebook 😂
Clearly they didn’t know that purple may be claimed by no gender, only the creatures of void and despair. (And cool wizards & anime villains)
purple actually belongs to the non-binarys
