50 Pointlessly Gendered Examples That Show Society Has Gone Too Far With It (New Pics)
Society in the West has made significant improvements in advancing gender equality over the last century. While men and women naturally have their differences, it's become quite normal for both genders to share responsibilities such as work, cleaning, cooking, driving, and even furniture assembly. However, there are instances where we still come across products targeted explicitly towards either men or women. Like c'mon, separate gift cards based on gender?
The subreddit r/pointlesslygendered is full of examples showing unnecessary gender-based distinctions, often seen in absurdly labeled products meant for him or her. Come along as we explore the world of unnecessary gender labeling, sparking discussions and raising eyebrows in the process.

Irish Madlad Spitting Facts
From food to shower gel, pain medicine, and toothpaste, you can find some pointlessly gendered products in this list. It might appear funny, but let's think about justice for a moment. Products separated by gender aren't merely a joke; they represent a widespread and forceful ideology that influences our thoughts, actions, and financial decisions.

Teachers In Spain Protest The Gendering And Sexualization Of Clothing
Male teachers in spain are wearing skirts to work to protest homophobic harassment in schools.
The movement -- called #LaRopaNo TieneGenero, or "clothes have no gender" -- started when a student was expelled and sent to a psychologist for wearing a skirt to school.
In general, men and women lead very similar lives today. We grow up together, attend the same schools, and have the same jobs. Aside from dating and having children, for some of us, gender isn't a big deal in our daily lives. In developed countries, we increasingly focus on personality over gender. But these products push back against this idea. They keep reminding us that gender matters, even though it rarely does in reality.

At times, the male and female versions of a product don't have the same price tag. In such cases, the female's version tends to be the pricier option. If women aren't vigilant or if having the "correct" product is important to them, they end up spending more money. Studies by the state of California, the University of Central Florida, and Consumer Reports all find that women pay more. "In California, women spent the equivalent of $2,044 more a year," (This study was done in 1996. The sum then was $1048; the sum would be $2,044, adjusted for inflation in 2023).

Ah Yes, Because Women Don't Exist In The U.s
Fat Harry 2 years ago
I'll tell you what grinds my gears: the need for the US to always use the words "national team" at every opportunity. I even saw it at the world cup where US news sources would write "France vs US Women's National Team". Of COURSE it's the national team. Do you think we all expected you to send out some regional team? And you don't need to tell us it's the women's team. It was the women's world cup. Every other nation just puts the name of the nation. The US has to put "National Team" on everything.

Ah Yes The Classic "Words Dont Hurt Men" Stereotype
Jill Rhodry 2 years ago
If words don't hurt men (or you) why do the words 'toxic masculinity' need to be addressed by you?
This isn't just something to be upset about – it involves real money. It affects things like providing for your family, affording education, or enjoying a vacation. When women are charged more, it makes it harder to support ourselves or enjoy life as much.

There’s A Price Difference But I Didn’t Expect It To Be That Big
Products for women often cost more than those for men because of how companies market and design them. This happens due to historical practices, marketing strategies, and how society sees things. When products are made to target women specifically and look different, they seem more valuable and end up being priced higher. People also think of women's stuff as fancier, which adds to the cost. Sometimes, old trends and what people expect also make women's products cost more to make. And when many people want something, companies might raise the price. All these things together make products for women more expensive.

Pointlessly Gendered Product That We Can’t Believe Exist

We pop to a coffee shop located across the way from a huge toy store and even from that distance you can see the aisle of pink for the girls toys. :(
Over time, progress has been made towards achieving gender equality globally. Women have gained increased representation in politics, more economic chances, and improved healthcare in numerous parts of the world. Nonetheless, the World Economic Forum (WEF) predicts it will take another century before complete gender equality is achieved. There are some factors that contribute to this persistent gender gap.

This Is A Hot Take I Can Get Behind
Liz Clarke 2 years ago (edited)
But most of the time we pee while we poo, it's much harder to control. Also if you have 3 urinals and 3 stalls men get 6 usable toilets but we get 3. Plus I don't think most women want to see men exposed, and most men probably don't want to be exposed. I think we need to stick with either gendered toilets or just stalls if you're going gender neutral.

Only Men Can Be Doctors
One of them is employment equality. Only 6 countries treat women and men equally in terms of work rights (Belgium, Denmark, France, Latvia, Luxembourg and Sweden). Most economies give women only 3/4 of the rights that men have. When employment is more equal, it can also help improve gender equality in other areas.

Apparently Saying "Hi" Is Unacceptable For Men
Another factor that contributes to gender gap is lack of legal protections. According to research from the World Bank, "Over one billion women don’t have legal protection against domestic sexual violence or domestic economic violence." Both of these things significantly affect how well women can succeed and live without limitations. In many places, there aren't enough legal protections against harassment at work, school, and in public. This makes these environments unsafe, and women often have to make choices that hold back their goals.

When religious freedom is targeted, women are the ones who are most affected. According to the WEF, when extreme terrorist organizations like ISIS limit religious freedom in a community, gender inequality worsens. Georgetown University and Brigham Young University conducted a study that linked religious intolerance to women's involvement in the economy. The study found that increased religious freedom leads to greater stability in the economy due to the increased participation of women.

It might not be as easy to see as some other reasons, but how a society thinks overall really affects how men and women are treated unfairly. This affects lots of things like jobs, laws, and healthcare. People's ideas about gender are strong, and even if laws and things change, there's usually a pushback.

I had a pink polo... granted I mostly bought it for Breast Cancer Awareness month. F**k cancer. But I wore it on a regular at work because I liked it. This manly man I worked with asked me if my shirt was salmon because there was no way he would wear it. I said: "No. It's pink, I'm not afraid of a color." I almost bought a pink tablet, but they didn't have the specs I wanted so I have rose gold. My laptop is purple... and when I was picking out a wheelchair, I thought about maroon and my wife thought green. She then said "You know you're going to choose purple, so just get it." She was right.

I find the concept of gender to be funny. My whole life I've looked somewhere between male or female. I'm not feminine looking at all despite being born female. I'm definitely not masculine either. I'm an in-between I suppose. Call me whatever you wish. You ain't hurting my feelings. I also wasn't brought up with a "this is for girls or this is for boys."

I think one is missing. Tell me why there is a men's and women's world chess championships? Why not just one world championship? And to top it off they declare that trans cannot compete in the woman's world championships. And after there is a backlash from that statement they have gone off to "reconsider". One can certainly argue that certain trans individuals might have physical advantages over woman, but chess? How do you come with these separations without the belief that woman are inferior mentally? Why don't people challenge that very idea?

... if you ever wondered, go to a pharmacy or drugstore and check out incontinence products. The max capacity stuff, usually, is unisex, but pads are not just pads, designed to absorb a bit of pee, but "protective shields" ... and so on. And then, some sports-dude found out and figured that these were meant to men-struate ... instead of the known women-struation, the manly and male men-struation, and the supply of things to deal with it, made him upset, obviously not being aware of the fact that ANY and EVERY function of a human body will, in some cases, in some persons, fail.

This kind of marketing wouldn't exist if it didn't work. No one has to go along with it if it doesn't suit their politics. Buy what you want, nobody cares.

I get your point, sir, but some people feel like that's a sign of respect. Like being called the right name

It isn't a problem. Literally nothing here is suggesting it's a problem. Suggesting that certain things are only for boys, or girls, is a problem. Unless of course you're arguing that gendering things is just fine, in which case I hope you typed that on a pink keyboard with the help of your husbands manly computer.

I had a pink polo... granted I mostly bought it for Breast Cancer Awareness month. F**k cancer. But I wore it on a regular at work because I liked it. This manly man I worked with asked me if my shirt was salmon because there was no way he would wear it. I said: "No. It's pink, I'm not afraid of a color." I almost bought a pink tablet, but they didn't have the specs I wanted so I have rose gold. My laptop is purple... and when I was picking out a wheelchair, I thought about maroon and my wife thought green. She then said "You know you're going to choose purple, so just get it." She was right.

Would of been nice as a boy to of learned how to cook and sew in school. Instead of just being sent out into the world to figure it out because "boys don't need any support."

I find the concept of gender to be funny. My whole life I've looked somewhere between male or female. I'm not feminine looking at all despite being born female. I'm definitely not masculine either. I'm an in-between I suppose. Call me whatever you wish. You ain't hurting my feelings. I also wasn't brought up with a "this is for girls or this is for boys." My mom let me live how I wished and I thank her for that.

My mum was the same. Yes, she cut mohawks for my brothers, but that was their choice, she also helped trim my sister's hair when she got an undercut etc.

I think one is missing. Tell me why there is a men's and women's world chess championships? Why not just one world championship? And to top it off they declare that trans cannot compete in the woman's world championships. And after there is a backlash from that statement they have gone off to "reconsider". One can certainly argue that certain trans individuals might have physical advantages over woman, but chess? How do you come with these separations without the belief that woman are inferior mentally? Why don't people challenge that very idea?

... if you ever wondered, go to a pharmacy or drugstore and check out incontinence products. The max capacity stuff, usually, is unisex, but pads are not just pads, designed to absorb a bit of pee, but "protective shields" ... and so on. And then, some sports-dude found out and figured that these were meant to men-struate ... instead of the known women-struation, the manly and male men-struation, and the supply of things to deal with it, made him upset, obviously not being aware of the fact that ANY and EVERY function of a human body will, in some cases, in some persons, fail.
