Gender has been a hotly debated topic for some time now. For some people this is great, in-depth discussions about the injustices and societal imbalances caused by outdated gender norms are long overdue. For others it is unnecessary, virtue-signaling nonsense that gets in the way of more pressing issues. If you have any doubts about gender, just look inside your pants and carry on with your life.

Of course this is overly simplistic. But no matter where you stand on the myriad opinions and debates swirling around on the subject of gender, you can have a laugh at this list compiled by Bored Panda. Because companies and their marketing departments have been manipulating us for years, playing on our insecurities and ill-conceived notions of gender stereotypes to make a quick buck, we compiled a list of the most transparent, ridiculous examples for your viewing pleasure.

From man-pickles, to examples of identical products, except for one being pink and more expensive just… because, this list will leave you wondering why all this is necessary in this day and age. Scroll down to check it out for yourself, and let us know what you think in the comments!

    There are some countries who use gendered shoes as a sign for the toilets. It's possible they changed the men's to be more standardised but yeah two genders people: practical shoes and high heels.

    Ok.... men don't like to shop. They don't want to smell 5million shampoo bottles, before they decide to go with the first one, like most of us girls do. They want to go into the store, grab a shampoo, any shampoo, and get the eff out. So actually this just shows you how easy men are (no offense gentlemen :) )And if we think about it... is it really fair that only women are pictured on anti wrinkle cream? What if a man wants to be wrinkle free? And what if a man wants to smell like strawberry shortcake? How fair is it to them that they only have one tiny section at Walgreens?

    Gendered sleeping bags often have several small differences. Some features of high quility womens specifc sleeping bags are; being slightly shorter (extra space=lost heat), being slightly wider in the hip and having extra insulation at the foot (women's circulation isn't as good in their extremiticies). Admittedly sometimes they are just gendered for mechandizing reaons by being made smaller and changing the color, it's called "pinking and shrinking."

The bike was the same style, the only difference was color. About a week later, my mom is approached by one of our neighbors. "Why is your girl riding a boy's bike?" My mom did not know what to say.

    I doubt these are gendered, it is much more likely they're actually different. My local shop has blue unscented wipes that can be used on newborns and pink scented wipes that cannot be used on newborns. It is a way to tell the difference between two different types at a glance.

    this one is kinda dubious. coke zero and coke light are almost the same product. However, market research does show that coke zero is usually bought more by men, whereas coke light bought more by women, so the logical marketing assumption would be, market it towards your demographic. The regular coke, however... thats kinda cringy (though you can see friend at the bottom, and technically, a woman can be a grillmaster, but we all know that its totally there to appeal to men)

    in this case price gap seems fair as there seems to be another layer of ugliness added to the regular flask, so it costs extra. It's still ugly as hell and no one in their right mind would buy it but this seems at least slightly justified ;)

    I can tell you that I prefer women's only nights at the gun range. No men to "show me how it's done" or other stupid nonsense. And there are some women intimidated by men just being there. So, in this instance, I completely understand the difference. Now....we just need to make sure that the classes both cost the exact same.
