Do not use scented shampoo for dogs. They don't care whether or not you use the bottle with the little girly eyelashes dog or the more boyish one. They do, however, care whether you smear them with smelly chemicals. Dogs have sensitive noses and use scents to communicate; from my experience, they absolutely HATE the smell of citrus as well.

I agree. Cis Straight culture objectifies and infantilises women. When it comes to pointlessly gendered baby clothes pink is for girls and baby/powder blue is for boys but as the boys grow up the blue gets darker and darker, often switching to black, however the pink used for baby girls often stays the same for women no matter their age.

no. you're not reading too much into it. that is in there. you might like the film "brainwashed". it's about how camera shots do the same thing this pictre does. showing women as bodies, not as people and so on. you're not reading too much into this. it's just so much always around us that we tend not to see it. and get shamed when we point it out. because we are ruining the fun... would be so much more fun if women just shut up and let themselves be dehumanised.. just not for the women. ok.

Women's parking spaces were originally introduced in 1990 in Germany to improve women's safety and reduce the risk of sexual assault. This was formulated because women felt at risk in parking garages which were often dark and deserted. After Germany, places like South Korea and China also adopted this policy.

I had the “daring book for girls” as a kid and it was basically just kid cultural stuff like jump-rope rhymes but also how to climb a tree. It felt like the girlscouts in a way. A bit more feminine than the Boy Scouts, but something that was comfortably gendered so it could try to diversify what guides are available to girls I guess? Some of it was very “playground and sleepover girls stuff” but other parts were like “a way to learn how to carve a whistle without getting bullied for reading “boy books” if that makes sense? It might seem a bit dated now but it was a really big deal to the girls in my class when it came out because it had so much stuff in there, and it was for girls! A book with girly stuff that also had more “boy” stuff, but now you can do it too! Not just because “it’s girly now” but also because some of those skills weren’t usually taught to most girls and it was harder to get lessons for it than it often was for boys. Now we have the internet and all that, but this was still when your family would have the one shared computer and kid social media was stuff like club penguin and neopets (which were probably a better idea than giving kids instagram tbh) I, personally, was a webkins kid

28:26 - German here: Women's parking spaces *don't officially exist* in the traffic law code. These parking spaces are found in well-lit and surveilled areas, and near exits. A 1990s study/survey found that female drivers felt unsafe on parking garages at night, hence private businesses started plopping these parking spaces down.

As far as treating kids differently: I would not treat my kids differently automatically based on gender. However, if my kids asked for something different, obviously I would respect their boundaries.

That’s how I saw it too. More like the dad playing how each child liked to play rather than being gentle with the girl and rough with the boy. I’m a mom of two girls, older one loved rough play and thrill seeking, younger one wanted gentler play and was a bit more timid with adventures.

Yeah. The caption saying boy dad vs girl dad I think is what gave it that "pointless gendering" flavor

[@Mokiefraggle]

I honestly figured, watching that, that it was more just that the boy in particular needed some roughhousing due to being _super_ wound up and needing something to wind his energy levels down. You hear the dad at one point say something like "Ah-ah! No yelling" when the boy starts doing that over-excited little kid shriek, while the girl is just kind of giggling, but is also more passive about the play-tossing. She's not backing away or not wanting to, but she's not quite as enthusiastic as the boy is. Also, the way the dad is tossing the boy around with clear mimicry of professional wrestling moves (the first toss being a "Last Ride" powerbomb, while the second was a powerslam) suggests that this might be part of the game for the boy, while the girl just likes the feeling of getting dropped onto the beanbag chair, but doesn't need the tossing around to go with it, because she's not interested in that part of the game.

A German here. The parking spaces are real, but they have a purpes. In our parking lots it's mostly really empty and if your alone, there is a risck of getting herrast, or worse. So those spaces are usually close to the exist and near to the room where there is usually a worker to inform if there is any trubel. So if something were to happen there is an easy way out and, most of the time, some people around. So it surves the purpes of preventing herrasment and, if it does come to it, to help victems bevor it's too late. So, I hope that clears it up a bit more. Oh, and by the way are also parking spaces meant for familys or people with children if you need a stroler for them or just have to unloud young kids. These spits are usually bigger than the normel ones. So you actually have the space requiered to get your child out and set up a stroler, if needed, without having to worry about ether one of you getting hit by a car or being in the way.

What you said about the coding book is the same thought I have for makeup for men. Many men feel ashamed to wear makeup as it's traditionally targeted towards women. I have seen a few ads include one male presenting person most of the time wearing colorfil looks. But I never see a product be advertised the same way for both men and women. Like "use this concealer to hide imperfections" or "this brow gel is going to make your brows look fluffy and tidy". And to be quite honest I see the market for makeup for men. I've seen brands bring out beard filling gels or tinted moistirizers and concealers and bronzers for men. Now someone will say it's pointless because men are not prohibited from using makeup targeted to women. But some men seem to take it as such a big offense that it might make a poor teenager with acne feel bad for not being able to cover it up with makeup in fear of being made fun of.

German here: women's parking spaces actually were supposed to be a safety thing - or at least a thing giving the feeling of greater safety. They tend to be in better-lighted areas, near exits and/or emergency exits, or have more camera surveillance. They don't aim for the same aspects of better accessibility as parking spaces for people with disabilities or those for parents/families.

[@JNCressey]

14:37 "hardware store for women" "diamond earrings" ... well, diamonds are hard, and they get worn... so...

[@zametal.]

the women parking in Germany are Parking spaces that are close to the exit, so the driver doesn't have to walk alone through the parking garage and be potentially vulnerable to assault. It is a safety measure. I don't know whether there is any data on whether these have been helpful or not.

I am FTM and I was with some friends at a theme park today. I had to go to the bathroom. Both of my friends are biological males and I have not come out to them. Both also had to use the bathroom. This basically forced me to go to the women's bathroom. As i walked in, a group of girls( who looked to be around my age)were walking out. They stopped me and said, this is the girls bathroom buddy. I panicked and answered "Im a girl". I felt so terrible saying that. Now im scared to use public restrooms with friends.

People (esp your friends, hopefully) are unlikely to comment if you use a stall to pee. There are cis guys who choose to use a stall, some even sit. If they did say something you can just say you prefer more privacy or that it's none of their business. Love, fellow trans guy

​@@gus8824 I have been friends with these guys for 10 years, so we know each other very well. They are not very pro lgbtq, but they aren't quite transphobic/ homophobic. We became better friends when we began to mature and became who we are now, so I may come out to them, I am not sure yet though.

[@mangantasy289]

About the Buscopan, I've actually never seen the "venus" version. Even without that specific marketing, Buscopan (French Brand name) is well known, alomst stereotypically so (in Central Europe)? as "period cramp med". Of course it can be used for other issues as well, but the active agent Hyoscine butylbromide is more effective against the cramps than other popular free painkillers like Paraceptamol (hence the "plus" in the name because in this cae it has both) or Ibuprofen. SO, if I decide to be goodwilling, maybe I could see they made the "venus" one in order for the manly men NOT to have to shy away from a "feminine" painkiller... and yeah, most likely make some extra money too.

some things my dad and i laugh about when we go get new glasses is the way they're so gendered too. in most places, one side has men's section, and the other is women's. on the men's side it's always bulkier, squarer, those glasses without any frames (like aren't women allowed to wear those?? D:) and on the women's side practically all the glasses have a weird tilt in the corners, they're thinner and sometimes flimsier, 'prettier' and generally more feminine. why can't glasses just be glasses and you pick the design you like/suits you as opposed to what's recommended for men or women. idk ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Often times vitamins that are aimed at people, who menstruate, have more iron in them, because of the blood they lose monthly. So I can imagine there to be many reasons that would make different vitamins and medications for people that have different anatomy. And the paracetamol that was marketed for women said "pain and cramps" on it, so it is possible that the ones, who create it, imagine that a lot of people would take their medicine on their period.

[@shelleykoone2987]

Dulcolax pink used to say for women on the box. They changed the boxes a while back. That image is probably from a store that hasn't changed their shelf tags. As for the mystery bags for kids, there are some parents who would be mad if they bought a gender neutral mystery bag for a boy and got a pink toy so stores label them for boys and girls. I suppose they could add a third option or make them all the same with gender neutral colors.
