These 17 pointlessly gendered items will have you shaking your head
It’s 2020 and toy shops are still selling blue “boys’ toys” and pink “girls’ toys”, women’s deodorants decorated with butterflies, and men’s in Army Green.
What’s wrong with just selling toys and deodorant for any gender to use if they fancy it?
The r/pointlesslygendered subreddit is full of examples of things that have been, well, pointlessly gendered, and these are some of the most outrageous examples.
1. Because you can’t call a woman “Babe”
2. Must be all those manly wires
3. Alright, Ladies, you can have tools, as long as they’re a pretty colour
4. “Put that scalpel down, Karen, and pick out some lipstick”
5. D’you know what else can go in a man’s stomach? Chocolates!
6. Presumably, men are praying for four more minutes free
7. Plain white baby vests …for boys
8. Men’s soap – because women’s soap would make them grow breasts. Probably.
9. Spot the difference
