To be fair, there are teas designed for comfort during menstrual cramps. Everything else is a bit silly. I was into blue growing up, not to be anti-girly just to be different from my little sister who loved everything pink. I became more “girly” as an adult, although I am definitely non stereotypical with my geekiness, whilst wearing quite feminine clothing. Please tell me there are other “feminine” science nerds and sci-fi geek females out there!
15 Pointlessly Gendered Objects That Leave Us Scratching Our Heads
For some reason, many manufacturers think that things have to be divided by gender. This idea also means that the things these people sell are either pink or blue, meaning they’re for girls or for boys. The thought left us scratching our heads because we’ve never really stumbled upon any object that is truly gender-specific. While browsing for pics on this topic, we actually discovered that most of the gender-divided items for sale were the same thing. The only difference was the description of the products — one was made for men, the other for women.
So, here at Bright Side, we thought we’d make a compilation to see if you noticed why the following objects were gendered because we surely couldn’t find any reason for them to be. As far as we know, the Reddit users that shared the pics couldn’t find a valid reason either.
1. “A school supply shop I saw while shopping”
“Pink or blue, just be you!”
2. “This is an old Monopoly game I used to play with my sister. Guess we weren’t allowed to do so...”
“For boys and adults (above 8 years old). For 2-8 players.”
3. “Grabbed some toilet paper while in a rush, came home to realize that my boyfriend wouldn’t be able to use it.”
4. “Ah, the 2 genders, ’Lady’ and ’The’...”
5. “Just why?”
6. “I was going through stuff and stumbled upon my dad’s old school books...”
“When I grow up I want to be —
Boys: fireman, policeman, cowboy, doctor, astronaut, soldier, ballplayer, teacher”
Girls: mother, nurse, teacher, actress, airline hostess, model, secretary, artist"
7. “Ah yes, the 3 genders”
8. “Boys always get the coolest stuff.”
9. “God forbid a man should buy a regular bath bomb...”
10. “In a girl’s eyes, everything is pink.”
11. “Pink backpacks only for girls!!!”
12. “Found in a pet store...”
13. “In case you want to lose the ability to differentiate countries and the ocean”
14. “Apparently your gender determines if you play with horses or reptiles.”
15. “The tea is hot (and gendered) today.”
“Feminine Equilibrium”
“Men’s Tea”
What surreal situations in which things were divided for men and women have you faced? Let us know in the comments!

same. Also yes the tea is herbal tea designed for different purpose for female and male.
Totally! I was into pink for a little while when I was about 5, but that was just because other girls were. I also wanted to be an environmental lawyer to help stop climate change at age 9.
Among this crap, back pack for girls are not Just pink, but are a different size, and this makes sense. There are petite girls that cannot wear the same size other girls or boys would use.
Agree.
somehow exactly that "pink" backpack looks the same big as the one next to him.
But agree, it's nice to have the smaller options for the females
I personally need a bigger one xd
what for? :D
if I travel (even if I go explore another city) I take a lot of things with me. From some food to powerbanks and different small things that can be useful/ My bf always laughs from me but then has to ask for a napkin for example 🤣
you're a prudent one haha
what is wrong with society, gendered dog treats?
Tampons: definitely gender specific
The thing about boys getting better things than girls is totally true. When I was little I remember I was with my aunt in a store, and there were some chemistry sets for kids on the shelf. I pointed at one showing a boy with one of those fake volcanoes that spewed foam. She said that for the next holiday she'd get me one, because she was one of those aunts who loves to get big presents for her nieces and nephews. On Christmas Day, I found a big box from her and I was really excited because I wanted to make a volcano. Inside was a PINK not a blue box with a picture of a picture perfect girl and some glitter on it and it said "Shimmer lab! Bath bomb deluxe!". I was 8. I had no idea what a bath bomb even was and I preferred showers. My parents didn't allow glitter in the house because it got everywhere, and I didn't like glitter either because it would get in my eyes. I never used the kit and gave it away to someone or other. At a yard sale a couple weeks later I picked out a book called "Science experiments for kids!" or something like that and made a volcano.
