10 Pointlessly Gendered Products
sexedcenter

Gender is a complicated topic, as some people believe it's set in stone, where as others believe gender is a spectrum. Whatever you believe, there is no denying that certain products are gendered, usually unnecessarily. Though some products are biologically needed for just women or just men, here are some products that are for everyone but are gendered by the colors pink and blue:

1. Sprinkles

Because girls aren't allowed to prefer the color blue.

2. Goldfish

The pink background, the crown, and the eyelashes on the fish. I wonder if this product is for girls?

3. Pens


As if I can't hold a pen that's not pink?

4. Toolkit

God forbid I use a hammer that was blue! Those are only for men!

5. Beer

I don't know what I would've drank if someone didn't create this product. You know, because Corona and Coors are specifically made for men.

6. Laxatives

Because apparently men and women poop differently

7. Yogurt

Don't know what John would've done if he ate that Yoplait.

8. Sunscreen

Thank you, Banana Boat. Women didn't watch UV protection anyway.

9. Tape

Clear. Tape. Why?

10. Cheese

Monterey Jack and Monterey Jill. How clever! Also notice that the women's product is reduced fat. I love conforming to gender roles!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
