Needlessly gendered things pop up in the weirdest places. Sometimes, this means companies adopting marketing and advertising strategies where they, bizarrely, try to gender products and services for no logical reason whatsoever. Other times, it's random people showing their antiquated attitudes.

Some folks, upon seeing this, get so frustrated that they snap a photo or take a screenshot and share it online for some public shaming. These pictures end up on the ‘Pointlessly Gendered’ and ‘Unnecessarily Gendered’ online communities, which we’re featuring today. Scroll down for our list of photos of needlessly gendered things that pushed people away.

    Pushing back against pointlessly gendered products and services might be difficult, but it’s not impossible. Consumers wield a lot of power. And rational business owners tend to react to changing market trends and consumer preferences.

    So, voting with your wallet is one of the most powerful things you—along with your family, friends, coworkers, and acquaintances—can do.

    If you think that a product is overpriced, the company’s values don’t match yours, and you suspect that someone’s trying to make a quick profit, don’t reward that business with your money. On top of that, reach out to the company’s representatives about your concerns or share your insights on social media. If the behavior is egregious, reach out to your government representatives. Ask them to take a stand and protect your interests as a consumer.

    Pointlessly gendering products can be problematic when taken to the extreme. What’s more, it can split your potential customer base.

    As ‘The Society Pages’ points out, these products can reinforce gender stereotypes, lead to more inequality, and end up costing women more money. Sometimes, you’ll notice that the masculine and feminine versions of the very same product aren’t priced the same.

    “When that happens, the one for women is usually the more expensive one. If women aren’t paying attention—or if it matters to them to have the ‘right‘ product—they end up shelling out more money,” ‘The Society Pages’ explains.

    That is crazy wrong. You know, come to think of it, the times I've had a mammogram, which is basically a scan of your breast tissue, there are no changing rooms for men. So I guess if you found a lump and you're a man, you might have to go further for a facility that can scan you. I hope it's not an awful experience

    Gender-neutral marketing, however, can help companies expand their target audience and increase brand loyalty. After all, this way, you’re aiming your products and services at the entire population, not just half of it. For instance, instead of labeling the toys you sell by gender, you can do so by age, product category, and brand.

    I followed @London Paris's link. TLDR: "Like many old customs, no one’s really sure how the button-side switcheroo came to dominate fashion." I doubt the popular theory that it was done so right handed maids had an easier time dressing their mistresses (while men dressed themselves unaided), because it might be the first time in recorded human history that the upper classe's expensive extravaganzas got éxecuted at their servants' convenience. Other theories are that it made it easier for women to nurse (I don't get that - is unbottoning in reverse easier than buttoning? Because it's still the "wrong" side opposed to equally rigt handed men). Another is that MEN's buttons chose/switched sides, because the gaps between the buttons might catch the hilt of a sword that had to be drawn quickly, so switching would open the gaps out of the swords way.

    BTW: Parking disks actually *legally have to be* blue. Don't ask me why. That means that using your cutie pink disk (or a red, yellow, or green one for that matter) may earn you a ticket from any pedantic traffic warden unless you pair it up with a blue one. But to be fair: no pink tax. Both meters are 1 €.

    This one is slightly common in clothes and eyewear and hats, as many men have bigger bodies than women. However, as seen from this list, there's too many items of the same make but more expensive for women. If a woman can get over her internalized sexism and just purchase the so-called mens' products, she will probably save cash and everything will work out fine

    To all those people who agree: loneliness ("true" or not) is a feeling that can befall you even in a room full of people. "Being wanted" is most definitely not the opposite of that feeling. They don't even share the same level of context, otherwise anyone on a "most wanted" list would be the most sociable and happiest of people around. /S
