At wal mart: "blue Equate brand men's loofah $2" "blue Equate brand women's loofah $1"

That's not how this is supposed to work.

Women's razors are far superior to men's razors

[–] Dagwood222@lemm.ee 8 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

The best solution is the cheapest. Get a good quality safety razor and disposable double edged blades. Much less waste and the best shave.

This is true but it has a learning curve and you shouldn't shave your face with these unless you're willing to accept that you might accidentally get some small scars from nicks

So many companies are dumb and only advertise to women on products that can be used for everyone.

Shampoo, body wash, laundry detergent, engine degreaser, drain cleaner, ant poison and steak sauce.

I just want to smell like something other than tree, cold tree, or beach episode tree.

[–] mayo@lemmy.world 2 points 4 hours ago

One day I plan to enter the cologne phase of life but it hasn't happened yet. I like smells but I don't like mall shopping.

[–] hungryphrog@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 5 hours ago (2 children)

What about sea salt & gunpowder? Someone might question your masculinity and sexual orientation otherwise!

[–] Sabata11792@ani.social 1 points 2 hours ago

Hear me out, gunpowder and ozone so you smell like what astronaut say space smells like.

[–] bluewing@lemm.ee 1 points 2 hours ago

Ahh, you are a manly man and ready for Duke Cannon Naval Supremacy bar soap or perhaps Victory! is more for you.

***Google Duke Cannon for an amusing marketing strategy of men's products. Who doesn't want a Big Ass Bar of Soap?

[–] leisesprecher@feddit.org 42 points 18 hours ago (8 children)

I'd prefer not to have any smell, but that is apparently really hard to do.

And why do all products for men have to look like I'm cosplaying a sci-fi tactical commando?

[–] bitchkat@lemmy.world 3 points 9 hours ago

I found that out when I had an allergy skin patch test and found out one of the things I'm sensitive too is fragrance. The most important thing was finding a hair dye that I'm not allergic too but after 10 years, I'm starting to get a little itchy when I get my hair done.

Same reason "gamer" PC peripherals all look like Gigatron's nut sack.

Mens boots, cargo shorts, overalls, and hats are a god damn vibe. Just the sheer fucking quality.

WHY CANT I HAVE THE LUXURY OF AQUIRING GOOD CARGO SHORTS!! WHYYYY

[–] drunkpostdisaster@lemmy.world 2 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

As a man I wish I had more options. the JCP Pennys near has like two and a half floors of womens clothes and small mens section that takes up the last half.

[–] JovialMicrobial@lemm.ee 5 points 5 hours ago* (last edited 5 hours ago)

I'm a woman who buys my tshirts in the men's section because all women's shirts have become crop tops, or are too low cut to wear to work, or too tight fitting to be comfortable. It looks like we have a lot of options, but I think it's more like we have a lot of non utilitarian options. Like a bunch of clothes you can't do anything in. Like go hiking, or bend over to pick up something you dropped without exposing yourself.

I can get a men's tshirt at target that fits exactly how I want it to(not too short, my boobs aren't hanging out, not too baggy either) for about $8-$10. A women's 'tshirt' will cost $15 plus and have all the issues I mentioned before.

But then again I guess the grass is always greener right?

[–] BluesF@lemmy.world 1 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Womens clothes so often suck in terms of quality compared to men's. My partner is nb, but fits women's clothes best... They can't find suits of anything like the kind of quality you can for men's. Certainly not in more than a couple of styles.

[–] mayo@lemmy.world 1 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

If I buy a shirt and it disintegrates in a year I'll never buy from that company again.

[–] Daxter101@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

That's every company though

[–] mayo@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago

Not every one, and some brands specifically sell thicker cotton.

The rule is buy the default-gendered variant. If there a special "men's section" or "women's section" for a certain product category it means you'll be ripped off.

[–] FundMECFSResearch@lemmy.blahaj.zone 63 points 21 hours ago (2 children)

Especially women’s. In French we call it “la taxe rose” (the pink tax).

[–] pyre@lemmy.world 67 points 20 hours ago (4 children)

it's called pink tax in English too

the French have such a way with words, that's almost as good as "le cigarette will cause le cancer"
