53 Ridiculous Unnecessarily Gendered Products

Buzz Feed22-06-2025
'Cause I'm totally thinking about being "super-cute" when defending myself against an attacker.
The fluffy parts would definitely just get in the way.
Why do women need different tools to begin with?
Finally, men can eat!!!
Boys and girls need different hangers...why again?
What does it even mean for toothpaste to be formulated ~for men~?
Bro, you gotta wipe your butt...bro, I swear it makes you feel like a real man.
What if I'm hangry as a woman? What then?
Remind me why men need different hair dryers than women?
And different loofahs?
And scalp massagers?
Finally! Ice for women!
Looks like some marketing exec decided girls like guns, too, but only if they're pink!
Same with miscroscopes.
And...mustaches?
What about this makes it not for girls?
I'm so glad men can finally enjoy candles.
And bath bombs.
God forbid a girl use — or even play with — a broom that isn't pink.
Lavender is for men, too! You just have to call it "manly lavender smells" instead of "lavender."
Oh no, I need to mark what page I left off at in my book, but I only have my boyfriend's male book marker available! I guess I'll just have to lose my progress. :(
I guess women can't have ginseng or chili?
Gee, I didn't realize how important it was for men and women to use different batteries!
Of course, the one for women costs more just because it's pink.
Same with these razors.
I'm sure glad girls can worship Jesus, too.
I guess I should just be happy they have one for boys?
This is just blatantly sexist.
As is this.
And this.
These gift cards are hopelessly gendered (men get Xbox and Ripcurl; women get MAC and Sephora).
Why do we have to gender these at all, and why does getting served more beer make a man a king and a woman a wench?
I guess with men acting the way they do when they get a cold or the flu, I get why companies think they need different recovery shots.
What about this is "for girls"?
Oh great, more pink tax.
Just go to Ulta. I bet they have better concealer anyway.
These are the exact same, except the women's option has fewer pills and costs more.
Why did they need to make a different pair of tweezers for men? It looks exactly the same as the pair I have.
I guess women can't use products with charcoal.
Why do men need different soap?
Was there really a need for fireworks specifically for girls???
Because men can't look in normal mirrors. Wait, are they vampires?
Good news, gamer girls (oh, sorry, gamer babes) — you finally have your own t-shirt!
I'm so glad the Girl Boss era is over.
Phew, I'm sure glad this store sells toothbrushes for men and women. Otherwise, what would I buy??? Gasp — a regular toothbrush???
I didn't realize men needed different Q-tips.
Or a different soup.
It's just science, y'all.
Would you rather smell like men or apricot?
Why do we need a different guide for women?
Of course the women's version has less product, but at least it costs less this time.
What will happen if I eat this as a girl?
And finally...this is the correct answer.

Choosing The Path of Death or Evil

In this powerful message on Death or Evil, we teach on the gripping reality of what it means when Choosing the Path of Death or Evil ' . From the deceptive allure of sin to the devastating consequences of walking on the broad way that leads to self-destruction (or death) , this message is a wake-up call for anyone standing at a spiritual crossroads. The death and evil path is a lane that only leads to evil experiences. Drawing from Deuteronomy 30:15, where God sets before us 'life and good, death and evil,' we examine the spiritual implications of choosing the path of self-destruction . This isn't just about moral failure—it's about the eternal consequences of rejecting truth, light, and righteousness. The evil way often appears with enticements, but in the end, it leads to despair, bondage (spiritual Chains), and ultimately, death. We dive deep into the Valley of the Shadow of Death experience , a metaphor for the darkest seasons of life when one feels spiritually lost, overwhelmed by guilt, addiction, or hopelessness. Whether it's the effects of drug abuse or the emotional toll of living in rebellion, the spiritual path of darkness is marked by isolation, confusion, and pain, and self-destructions. The Bible warns us: 'The wages of sin is death' (Romans 6:23). This isn't just physical death—it's spiritual separation from God, a condition that begins now and can last for all the days of your life, if left unaddressed. We explore the spiritual consequences of sin , from broken relationships to inner torment, and how these outcomes are sometimes not punishments from a merciful God, but the natural result of walking away from His blessed plan for life. This video also teaches about the path of curses —a life marked by generational pain, repeated cycles of destruction, and spiritual blindness. When we ignore God's voice and follow our own desires, we open ourselves to deception and destruction. As Jesus said, 'Broad is the way that leads to destruction, and many enter through it' (Matthew 7:13). But this isn't just a message of warning—it's a call to hope. Even if you've walked the dark road, there is a way back. The narrow path, though difficult, leads to life, peace, and restoration. God's mercy is greater than any sin, and His invitation to choose life still stands. If you or someone you know is struggling with addiction, spiritual confusion, or the weight of unrighteous choices, this video offers clarity, truth, and a path of victory. Don't miss this urgent message about the eternal stakes of our daily decisions. TIME BUSINESS NEWS

Watermelon: Once and for all, how to choose a good one

'Can you ask her?' my husband suggested as she disappeared into the leafy greens. Technically, she spoke only Italian, but in the love language of the watermelon, she conveyed that she was listening for a deep hollow sound. Or a ringing. Or a thud. Advertisement God help me. How does the watermelon get away with it? In a world where people refuse to buy so much as a pair of socks without reading 37 reviews, the watermelon demands to be bought on spec. Big, heavy, and secretive, you have no idea what you're in for until there's no going back.

Enter Email Sign Up When I called the Misinformation about watermelons ? Things are getting bad, people. By whom? The cranberries? They do seem ambitious. The honeydews? When it comes to being unknowable, they're in no position to talk. Or maybe watermelon has run afoul of RFK Jr. and the MAHA mob. It is red, albeit not dyed. Advertisement Happily, upon questioning, things seemed a little less dark, although I did detect a little jealousy of avocados. ('Some of our friends can afford Anyway, the 'misinformation' turned out to be more in the category of misconceptions. Some people believe you can tell if a melon is sweet by plucking a straw from a broom, placing it atop, and seeing if it spins. Or that you can hold two fingers together, and if they fit within the darker green areas between white stripes, you're good to go. When I ran these by 'There are certain indicators that will help you make your best guess,' she said, 'but the consumer doesn't know what variety was planted, how the grower grew it, how well they were grown, were they picked at the proper degree of ripeness, how were they handled post harvest, were they left too long in the sun, and so forth.' Complicating things even further: Diagnostic methods that work on other melons are useless with watermelons, she said. These include smelling (watermelon's rind has no aroma) and pressing (the rind is too thick to give up any secrets). Advertisement Watermelons come in a variety of shapes, sizes, and colors. Tom McCorkle I was starting to feel desperate. What about tapping? I asked. That's legit, right? 'Maybe I need hearing aids,' said Goldman, a special adviser to the It was a similar story over at the watermelon board. 'If you insist on knocking or slapping, the best way I've seen it written is that you want a ping, not a pong,' Barlow said. 'You can appreciate this.' Could I? By this point, the main thing I knew was that watermelon is yet another piece of produce that can play with your mind. Avocados turn from rock hard to mushy while you're at work. Raspberries, purchased as a splurge for a child who will eat only that fruit, are suddenly unwanted and grow fuzzy. A designer tomato that's journeyed a great distance to meet your January cravings triggers climate guilt. But what does watermelon care? It's on a decades-long march to success. 'In the 1970s, [annual] per capita consumption was 12.3 pounds, and each decade since has demonstrated lift,' industry analyst Jason Hanselman, emailed me. In the 2020's, he said, it's risen to 15.9 pounds per person per year. But how do we make those 15.9 pounds good pounds? The watermelon board promotes the 'look, lift, and turn' method. When lifted, a watermelon should feel heavy for its size. Tom McCorkle/For The Washington Post Namely, the watermelon should look good — and be free of dents or gashes. When lifted, it should feel heavy for its size. And, crucially, when you turn it over, its 'ground spot' should be a nice yellow color. So that was that. A final answer. If only Karen Russo of the famous Russo grocery family, hadn't called in response to my email. Advertisement 'A dull thump will suggest it's really ripe,' she began, 'but a more hollow sound suggests it's not as dense and therefore has a pinker, crisper fruit.' But which one is better? I asked, desperate for one simple answer. 'It's really a matter of preference,' she said. I closed my computer and headed to the grocery store, finally confident I knew what to buy: pre-cut.
