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.

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.

ADVERTISEMENT

"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.

ADVERTISEMENT

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.

What kind of statement is that? a) Period pains can be less and can be more than this. There are people who feel almost nothing and people who can barely move anymore. b) The ankle thing hurts terribly, yes, but it doesn’t happen every month for several days. That’s like saying someone who was bullied at school each day shouldn‘t complain because you got beaten up by some thugs once and that was worse.

The closest I could ever think of to menstrual cramps might be incredibly bad stomach cramps from eating something that had gone bad, or overdoing laxatives. Though stomach cramps are not nearly as painful, and in a different area, they’re the closest pain a man can relate to. I’ve never had kidney stones, so can’t say for certain if they’re closer to monthly cramps or childbirth contractions—-if there are any women reading this who have experienced both, please let us know which it is!

I've twisted my ankle like this before and spent weeks on crutches. The first day off the crutches, I went and twisted it again. xD Can confirm period pain is actually worse for me though, not to mention bleeding and feeling the blood gush (tmi?) is NOT a nice experience.

I broke both ankles at the same time when I was like 9 (on roller skates), so now they can roll like that and they make a popping noise but doesn't hurt! Tried to find the clip on YOUTUBE of her ankle roll, but couldn't. Every time we watch the film and see it, we still just cringe! LOL!

Oh right! I’m sorry. I forgot that we have period pain in our abdomen where we can’t have a good night’s sleep or go outside without being attacked by nausea, while you trip over your ankles... I’m just asking, have you ever put on wired heels that are required for a fancy dinner, only to trip over a curb and crack your ankle the OTHER way and scratch your entire foot?

I rolled my ankle like that and cracked the bone across the top of my foot and it healed with a ridge that scraped the muscles and tendons when I walked. Had to have surgery to file that ridge down. It was painful (doubly so when the doc's PA tried to mark up the wrong foot for surgery, and then was all 'I was just seeing if you were paying attention" Yeeeeeeah). And I have to say, period pains were at least 10x worse, and exploding cysts in my ovaries was 100000000000000000000000000x worse on the pain scale.

I don't know why the people saying rolled ankles hurt more than period pains are getting down voted. Period pains and their severity are different for everybody. Sometimes it can be just a little annoying, sometimes it can be so bad it lands you in the hospital. It's not a competition.

On average, a male's rolled ankle would hurt more as, on average, males weigh more and generate more force. It's odd people don't understand this.

That's why I buy a lot of "for males only" products. Check the price difference between razors for males or for females if you get a chance.

And they all explode if you put em in the microwave (that's my new gender test. Stick em in the microwave on high for 30 secs. If they're still alive when you pull em out, THEN they can talk pronouns).

This is because misogynists see "masculine" women as less like women and therefore better, but "feminine" men as being more like women and therefore bad.

Well, if there's anywhere we should look to for a model of equity between males and females, it should be the Bible. Women were made to be property. But that's okay, so long as you marry them before you rape them.

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.

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.)
