Here's a radical thought. Maybe men and women would get along better if companies and institutions stopped yelling about how different they are? I get it, everyone has their own opinion, and it's a sensitive topic but come on. Toilet paper for women? A cookbook for men? Some things are just absurd. And you can find them on the subreddit r/PointlesslyGendered. This online community is dedicated to collecting examples of the division between the two genders our society so desperately insists on, and over the years have gotten themselves quite a load. Here are some of the worst ones.

    Gender-tailored marketing messages are fairly common, but research shows they can have the opposite effect and repel consumers, especially women. In fact, they often backfire to the point of dissuading women from choosing a product they would have considered if the company hadn't talked about their gender so much, a study by Harvard Business School found.

    The reason for this lies in human nature. People tend to resist being categorized (or made to feel like they are unwillingly reduced to a single identity) particularly when the product they're being nudged toward evokes a stereotype about their gender.

    When I was a kid, they didn't give you the option of "Barbie or Hotwheels" so I always told my dad to tell them I was a boy so I could get my Hotwheels car.

    The worker let the woman choose which toy, no gender implied. The woman customer made it awkward by asking the worker to assign a gender to the giveaway toys. The customer was a jerk.

    When I was a kid, when my mum would take my brother and I to Maccas, they would only ask 'boy toy or girl toy' or something similar (thankfully wouldn't just ASSUME when looking at us and give us one of each :) ) If we had seen the toys on a poster or screen before hand, we'd choose which one we wanted then, and if we hadn't, my mum would say one of each anyway. Depending on the toy, my bro would take the 'girl' toy, and I'd take the 'boy' toy. We couldn't care less what gender it was marketed towards, if we wanted the opposite toy, we'd switch :) Having a sibling and a caring parent who only cares that we're happy is great.

    Being a female I hated dolls and barbies as a child I thought they were creepy and boring, give me a hot wheels every time! I can't tell you how many times I went back to the counter to ask the workers if I could trade for the "male" toy because I thought it was cooler. I was lucky in that they never denied my request, probably as I wasn't picky just give me any car.

    Suggesting that women will go crazy over a product wrapped in pink packaging just because some marketer assumes that all women love pink can come across as downright insulting, co-researcher Leslie K. John, the Marvin Bower Associate Professor at HBS, said.

    "In a way, this project reminds me of my childhood," John explained. "When I was a kid, I had a babysitter who said, 'Leslie, your favorite color is pink.' She would put pink bows in my hair. Everything had to be pink. This project is partly a reaction against this feeling that just because I'm a girl doesn't mean I love pink! There's something very off-putting about feeling like you're being reduced to a single category of membership."

    But where does this false notion come from? Why do companies keep trying to sell their products by emphasizing the buyer's gender? Well, the answer to this question might lie in one 2017 Pew Research Center survey.

    It discovered that Americans think men and women are basically different in the way they express their feelings, their physical abilities, their personal interests, and their approach to parenting. But there is no public consensus on the origins of these differences.

    I think marketers know this. Maybe some of them just haven't realized that to have an opinion and to base your purchasing decision on it are two different things.

    This applies to other aspects, not only gender. According to previous research, for example, even stereotypes that cast people in a positive light—such as Asians excel in math—can trigger a negative reaction from these groups.

    Goes on green, with a hint of Guatemalan jungle. Gangrene is extra.

    I like that they have to specify Caveman 'Adult' club.

    Personally, I don’t see a problem here. First off, one has purple stripes and the other one blue stripes - it’s not like one has a pink bow on its helmet, THAT would be stupid. Second, even if it’s meant to imply gender, I definitely prefer a male and a female astronaut emoji over just a male one.

    One might be more generic and one more specialized in women, unclear since there might be one for men too.

    They're more likely gendered by size, rather than colour. I accidentally bought some men's masks and they're waaayyy too big for me.

    Really? From what I heard, boys' clothes often have a looser, more comfortable fit than girls'. Which results in problems trying to dress a rather slender boy in something non-pink because so much clothing is very explicitly gendered, too... (And vice versa: Finding something comfortable, robust for a girl is difficult, too.)

    This, I do get. Most men have harder thicker nails. My bf's nail clippers also double as a car-jack.
