19 Unnecessarily Gendered Items That Annoy The Heck Outta Me
I was recently introduced to the r/pointlesslygendered subreddit, where people share photos of products that have no business being gender specific, and I can’t stop scrolling. Please join me in balking at these items that have nothing to do with gender, but are branded as such anyway:
1.
These men’s and women’s restrooms, where guys apparently “do epic shit” but women are “losing weight”:
2.
This Dirty Dog versus Pretty, Pretty Princess shampoo for your pup:
3.
These his and hers ab wheels. But hey, at least there’s a blue tax this time:
4.
These his and hers sticks for body chaffing. Ya know, in case your thighs rub together differently:
5.

6.
These vitamins for girls, because apparently boys need a different kind of vitamin A, C, D, and Zinc.

These Bibles. I sincerely hope the passages are the same:
8.
His and hers astroturf flip flops, for every occasion:
9.
This ad for shower curtains, and the ridiculous way women are portrayed to shower:

11.
This men’s porta-potty:
12.
Don’t get me started on the amount of drinks I saw, like this tea for men:
13.
Oh and don’t worry. We also have tea for women:
14.
These baby shower candles for boys and girls, which, I’m not mad about if it keeps people from doing over-the-top gender reveals:
15.
“Her Adventure” versus “Imagination Adventure” cars:
16.
These cutesy Mrs. and Mr. Office rollers:
17.
This “STRONG” Kleenex for men, as opposed to whatever women get:
18.
These stuffed pigs, except the pink pig needed to cover up with a tutu:
19.
And finally, these Power Rangers for Girls, because apparently they can’t enjoy the other rangers:
