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 For some people this is great, in-depth discussions about the injustices and societal imbalances caused by outdated gender norms are long overdue.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!

He really needs a mountain lion draped over the back of the horse. I hope he is knitting a rifle cozy for his shotgun.

    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."

    I know. When I was little, I wanted a red bike. (I am a tomboy) They did not have red bikes for girls so my mom bought me a boys bike in red. 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.

    If you are ashamed to drink wine openly, do not drink it at all, you are not worth it. There is nothing girly or feminine in drinking wine. You can still get hammered by drinking it. And drinking wine from a can? Prepare yourself to be purged.

    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.

    Some of the example really are utterly stupid, but are we now going to pretend that there are no differences between sexes?

    As before, this isn't labelled for a gender, its a colour choice. My boys would be happy with a pink cleaning set, they love helping around the house with that stuff.

    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)

    What really irks me is that girls' products are always "sweet" and "pretty" whereas boys' are always "busy" and "smart." Basically, girls have to be passive ornaments and boys are meant to be proactive and ambitious. Disgusting! It makes me so MAD!!!

    It looks like it has a breast cancer ribbon on the corner. Maybe they donate part of the profit to the cause, which would be nice.

    This makes me so mad. Why are girls supposed to be smiley and happy all the time. One day I was at the mall and someone went up to me and said "Hey I think you should smile". I was not in the mood to smile.

    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 ;)

    There are gyms for women only here, and train wagons just for women and you can call a cab specifying that you want a woman driving. It's not that women need a special driving school, it's for women who prefer to go to a place where they'll only be around other women.

    If your boy prefers the pink blocks then by all means buy them for him and vice versa.

    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.

    Disagree with this, its a colour choice. Not a gender choice, you can say its all subliminal but in the end its up to your own mind. If they had a brown colour version would that be racist?
