    The gendered bullshit goes both ways. For example: men’s clothing is way more expensive than women’s for some reason.

      I‘m not sure about that:

      In the UK, women and girls were being charged on average 37% more for toys, cosmetics, and clothes than their male counterparts.[12]

          There are some areas where this is possible. Razors for example: In my experience woman’s razors are absolutely shitty and more expensive then men’s razors.

          But concerning other areas: There might be a chance, that a significant number of woman doesn’t want to smell like „Old Spice“ or „Irish Moss“ and most men’s clothing does not match with most women’s body’s. Also I think you underestimate how it could completely wreck a kids social life, if wears the „wrong“ clothing or plays with the „wrong“ toys.

    I thought women’s hygiene products were more expensive because men and women’s skin are different. Men have thicker skin on average and women have more sensitive skin on average or so I thought
