I was watching pro golf coverage on the news and it seems so odd that men and women compete separately - same goes with pro bowling. Just seems weird to me that a game of skill is gendered when you can’t even raise an argument that someone might have an advantage because of what’s between their legs.
the same products. in an interesting inversion of the already well-documented pink tax, my father in law walks around with a packet of disposable wet wipes called “dude wipes” in his pocket. they’re the exact same as the baby wipes that my partner uses, but they’re in a black package with ‘manly’ lettering on it and they cost twice as much. he had never shown interest in this product, which has been available his entire life, before it validated his gender. after it validated his gender, he valued it at twice what the non-validating version sells for.
I actually paid the blue tax and got a pack of dude wipes to see what they were like. I expected them to smell like axe body spray or something. They just smelled like normal flushable wipes. They didn’t make any attempt to masculate them. 🤷
YES my husband uses these and one smells minty, the other smells like something…unremarkable. Bless his heart anyway I guess.
