Seriously? Mansize tissues? Are your noses really that much bigger?

1. His and hers earplugs.
I couldn’t figure out why loud noises were waking me up at night. And then I realized: The pieces of foam I jammed into my ear canal weren’t PINK. Once I switched to pink ear plugs, I slept like a (female) baby.
2. Hair regrowth treatment for women and for men.
Hair loss can be embarrassing, but not HALF as embarrassing as buying medication in a dark green box! Minoxidil solves that problem by offering the exact same product in an adorable lilac package (and for all you dumb boys out there, “lilac” means “purple.” LOL!).
3. Yogurt for men.
My boyfriend ate normal yogurt once and now he’s pregnant.
4. Women’s and men’s shaving razors.
It’s a scientific fact that men’s hair is 100 to 200 times thicker than women’s due to their abounding testosterone and other manly juices. That’s why you should never, ever shave with a men’s razor if you’re a lady. It’ll take the skin clean off your shin. It’s science.
5. Men’s and Women’s electric razors.
Did you not hear me before? THE SKIN. CLEAN OFF.
6. Men’s and women’s deodorant.
Sure it smells the same. But you’d know. Then how could you live with yourself?
7. Men’s Tissues
I was ankle-deep in my boyfriend’s mucus before we bought these man-sized Kleenex. Ordinary tissues just couldn’t contain his oversized, masculine boogers.

My favorite is the BIC Pen for women. They asked Ellen Degeneres to promote it. Instead, she roasted it: http://www.upworthy.com/boom-roasted-heres-why-you-dont-ask-a-feminist-to-hawk-your-sexist-product?g=2&c=reccon1

“I was ankle-deep in my boyfriend’s mucus before we bought these man-sized Kleenex. Ordinary tissues just couldn’t contain his oversized, masculine boogers.”
Isn’t that why they invented sleeves? 🙂
I can’t wait until everything is genderless. maybe then police will no longer harass and bias against me for being of the “male” gender.
Isn’t the difference in razors to do with the grip? Basic razors differ very little, I suppose, but there has to be some major differences in the kind of handle you want for trying to reach under your own armpits or between your legs and one you are only holding against your face.
That said, I can’t imagine trying to shave your legs with a cut-throat razor and as for trimming your bikini line with one…
MOST products are pointlessly gendered. I can tink of only a few hat are truly made for one physical body or the other. This is marketing at its finest. Pink for girls, blue, and the specific designs for boys. For the most part it’s the placebo effecct at work. Men are tough, therefore their deoderant is tougher than for women. Nonsense. Did it ever occur to anyone that because most women shave their underarms the odor doesn’t linger like on men with hair there. Shavers are shavers, and until the 1920’s most women didn’t shave any where so the razor… Read more »
Perhaps because nothing that goes in our ears, stays in for very long. However, maybe if it’s screwed in…
re: the men’s and women’s deodorant
I did buy the women’s deodorant once, and it gave out on me after about seven hours. The men’s does seem to last longer. I can’t explain it, but I can attest to the funk I had to deal with by 4 PM every day for months.

Ok I’ll be blunt. If you’ve ever used normal size tissues when ejaculating, they can be too small and have leakage. I use 3 ply “large n thick” tissues because of that.
Seriously, how do people not understand this? Think hard on WHY a tissue for MEN would need more ability to hold liquids n wastes!
Archy!! Are you saying Kleenex makes tissues for ejaculation?!
…suddenly, this is getting way too real…
Graphic warning! Spit Drink warning!
Yes. I use 3 ply extra large ones because the regular ones don’t work, and I’ve shot a load clean through the normal ones plenty of times which SUCKS. Think Hancock but not as bad.
No I think he’s saying Kleenex tissues CAN be and LIKELY ARE used for ejaculation.
Yes. They are wank tissues. Is that not common knowledge?!
mine is 🙁
I was always told that ‘mansized’ tissues weren’t for nose based problems, but to clear up… a different mess.
But then women many times also like to use tissues to clean up their mess if they are too lazy to get up and go to the bathroom just right after it. Or is it just me? 🙂
Sorry, but the screw-in earplugs are NOT gendered. Unless “skeleton” is now a gender.
Skeletons are always male. You can tell by looking at the pelvic girdle.
That was actually only a skull. But that skull looks too scary and violent to ever be female.
Guys, we’re getting screwed out of earplugs.
Hahaha. That’s funny!
