Changing the color and shape of the garment for another gender defeats the purpose of it. I used to have some really cool dyed purple camo trousers back in the 90s. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Purple Red Panda Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 Long before I became aware that I'm agender I stopped using male deoderants, shampoos etc and switched to female or gender neutral ones because I disliked how they were marketed. Lynx was a prime offender with it's use this and hordes of nubile young women will want to fuck you adverts. 7 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I've always hated axe because of all the 'stinking wars' between the girls and boys in my class. They'd attack each other with their deos and perfumes. And this. This ad. It just gave me the rest... 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Aelin Galathynius Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 I don't know if this is pointlessly gendered or not, but the difference in bike seats. A 'girly' bike will usually have a soft cushy seat, but a 'unisex' or 'manly' bike will have a smaller, harder seat. Are they designed to suit the different body types of males and females? Or are bike companies just assuming that girls are soft and need a cushion to rest their dainty little bottom on? 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

As far as I'm aware good saddles are designed to be as comfortable as possible for the different hip-types women and men have as well as made in a way that they don't cause pain in the private regions as quickly. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Quilly Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 A big one that's shown up in my life is long hair. My hair is long and I instantly get perceived more feminine (which gets very annoying very quickly for me). And I've had multiple instances where I've mentioned to people that I've thought every now and again about shaving all of it off and people are so adamant to say no to that. Firstly, I really don't see why it makes a difference if I don't have long, "feminine" hair. Secondly, these comments tend to come from people I don't know all that well and most of them have been from men decades older than me, who probably shouldn't have any reason to have a say in my life. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Oof, that reminds me of that article where a super-conservative™ explained how women with short hair are 'mentally ill' as well as 'masculine' and why 'good men need to avoid them at all costs'.

Captain Jay Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 In one particularly odd example, I once bought a pack of women's earplugs and didn't even notice until I was looking at the box weeks later. Perhaps they're supposed to be smaller or something, but they didn't look any different to me besides being purple... and they come in all kinds of colors anyway. (I was midway through typing this and forgot about the thread for a couple of hours, apparently long enough for it to balloon to over 50 replies. Sheesh.) 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

(I won't link it here because I despise it) I know the ad/s (I think there are a few on that line). I hate every time it comes up and I have to wait a few seconds to "skip" it. My mother (who is soon to be 85 years old) used to play electric bass in a "garage band". I'm not at all musical, but because of her I never had any notions about genders and instruments. Other pointlessly gendered things: colors, nail polish, different smells, hobbies, vocations and careers; the list goes on and on. 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Does Axe/Lynx still run those kinds of ads? I always found them gross because of the implication that women are mindless beings attracted by the smell of deodorant. Of course, the most unrealistic part of them was anyone being attracted to the smell of Axe. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

However, we're now bombarded with ads for 'medication' that you can buy in drugstores without seing a doctor first. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
