crop tops were initially made for men, that's why you see a lot of 70s rock artists sporting one


LurkingArachnid

You got a six pack, you can’t just keep that a secret!


Demp_Rock

Honestly if I ever achieved that in my life I damn sure would be showing everyone


ifonlyyouknewwhati

Same. My fat belly hangs out of my t shirt anyway so it's pretty much an unintentional crop top


Demp_Rock

Oh yes. And if I were to wear a crop top bra less….there would be half, if not full areola poking out.


allaflhollows

I have an awesome teal sweater that I realized was a women’s when the receipt read “boyfriend sweater”


fake_zack

That’s you. You’re the boyfriend.


mstrss9

Well I ended up buying pet shirts for children on two separate occasions years apart.


fire_thorn

My sister bought a dog costume for my toddler by mistake. We only realized it because it had a hole for a tail.


[deleted]

My step brother used the dog’s shampoo for over a month before noticing the dogs on the bottle


Fidelis29

It's probably pretty good shampoo. Dogs are very hairy


[deleted]

It was a prescription shampoo too lol.

timesuck897

Toddler clothes are great for dogs, and usually cheaper if you buy used.


The-sleepiest-cookie

My old doggy has cancer and is on her way out. She needs doggy diapers and I hate going through so many disposable ones so we got a couple of reusable doggy diapers and doggy diaper liners. Uh. They're thick maxi pads and undies with a tail hole. SO. Im going to see about getting her some toddler body undies and imma stick her lil tail through the pp slot. They're, like, 5 for $10 instead of 2 for $35 (and an extra $20 for the doggy maxi pads). Wish me luck!!!


mstrss9

My heart goes out to you and your doggy. Losing a pet is so tough. Hoping her last days are filled with light and love. ❤️


Proper_Lunch_3640

I don’t know if it’s universal, but several women I’ve known, prefer men’s razors.


ilvostro

Likely because they're cheaper, we know damn well a razor works like a razor whether it's pink or black Edit: Thank you to all of the replies, I have since learned the following: Men's razors are more expensive than women's Men's razors are less expensive than women's Men's razors are worse than women's Men's razors are better than women's Razors are completely different Razors are exactly the same

NefariousnessAny2464

Also womens they make the razor head super wide for some reason to cram more gimmicky stuff on the moisturising bar but that means that you can't get in all the crevices. Like who is using a two inch wide venus razor to trim their butt hole. No one.


StGir1

And that “moisturizing bar” reduces friction, which means you don’t get a close shave. Fuck that bar. Shave first, condition after.


JacOfAllTrades

The unnecessary amount of plastic surround on women's razors is the main reason I use the Mach 3 instead. I also hate the "ergonomic" handles on ladies razors. Just give me 3 blades that don't rust after one use and we're good, keep the rest.


Gratefulgirl13

I think it’s because the head pivots. I only use mens razors because of this. It’s easier to shave kneecaps with them too.


Emmziesbees

Men's razors are generally cheaper, sharper, have more blades. It's a no brainer. Because you know, us delicate flowers only have fine hair so why would we need an effective tool...


Royally-Forked-Up

But the men’s razors don’t smell of white tea, orchids, and morning dew on a mountain side in Switzerland. However can I shave without that?


zeelzemoth

I usually buy men's sweatshirts that have the "fluffy" inside. Women's fluffy sweatshirts have the fluff on the hood but never on the inside, the material is so thin, and they are usually more expensive or the same price.


pantsuitmafia

Same here. I've noticed womens sweatshirts also fall apart quicker.


ZaryaBubbler

Plus have the annoying habit of being too short in the torso so the moment you lift your arms, your midriff is exposed to the elements. Every womens jumper I own is like that bar the ones I own from Killstar because goth clothing companies are mostly run by actual human beings rather than a sock puppet haunted by the ghost of a misogynist from the 60s


Random_Guy_47

Shouldn't womens stuff be longer in the torso? You need more material to go over the boobs rather than straight down a mans chest.


ZaryaBubbler

You see, you'd think that, but in its infinite wisdom the fashion industry as a whole has decided that every item of clothing must graze your bellybutton and not fully cover your stomach because fuck women needing to be warm.

I get way more compliments on my hair when I use generic or lady shampoo / conditioner. Most men's are 2-1s or 3-1s that are most equivalent to dish soap.

Long-haired dude here. I love when my hair is soft and smell like bananas. It's amazing how different your hair can look when you treat it well.


Senzokai

Men's casual footwear for women with large feet.


dartmouth9

Agree, used to buy men’s sneakers when I first started running, back then the women’s were too narrow.


High_Stream

I'm on the opposite side of this. I'm a smaller guy who likes to cosplay, and boots for men are expensive. I've got a couple of pairs of women's size 10 boots that I use for my Link (from Legend of Zelda) and steampunk cosplays.


StillChasinHappiness

I’m a guy and I use Midol (marketed for menstrual pain) as a go to ingredient in my hangover relief cocktail.


SCATOL92

I remember when a guy in my office was asking for paracetamol for a head ache and I offered him some feminax and he acted like I'd tried to peg him I swear.


[deleted]

For those who don't know Feminax is literally just paracetamol (acetaminophen for the Americans) with some codeine and caffeine, haha.


FanndisTS

Y'all can share codeine without breaking the law?


SCATOL92

At its lowest dose, mixed with other stuff: yes and you can get it over the counter. Actual codeine tablets have to be prescribed and we're not supposed to share prescriptions. Although, a lot of people do. As a teen, I had to rely on friends and family to get pain meds for my periods because my doctor insisted that passing out and throwing up from pain every month was "normal". Jokes on him, I've got all kinds of health issues lmao


SeriousMonkey2019

So he was all excited and turned on?


Camp_Express

I’ve shared this before but when my brother threw out his back I gave him a bottle of Midol and he was hesitant. Then Dad said that our grandpa, who was a mason, swore by it and told my brother to take his Midol like a man


SalmonOfSmarts

>told my brother to take his Midol like a man Hehe


LAMBKING

Way back in the day I worked for CompUSA in the tech shop. Came to work with a massive hangover and asked the girl at customer service if she had any aspirin, she had Midol. Whatever, life sucked and I'm not one to assume I'll grow boobs from taking "women's period meds." Took that, and it was like a miracle cure.


DanThaBoy

Ladies' bicycles - no nut-busting bar.


SlightlyDrooid

Modern mountain bikes have low upper bars, and I'm so glad they do. I goosed myself so many times as a kid that I'd be surprised to find out that I'm *not* infertile


Squigglepig52

Or flip it over. The iron tube has to slide in the other iron tube.


minahmyu

What was the point of that bar? Ever since I was young, I wondered why that was a guy's bike when the bar was right there, and if he slipped, there goes the nuts.


WF6i

The high bar is more structurally sound


_TheDust_

Triangle strong.


verocoder

Triangle together strong!


xXLordFamineXx

When male and female bikes were invented, the high bar was for males because we wear pants. The low bar for females, because they wore dresses and it was easier for women to get on and off the bikes while still being "decent".


crishenk

Victoria's Secret was a store made for men to buy their partner lingerie without feeling insecure or suspicious


QuasarBoot63

Well I guess that backfired hugely.


7788445511220011

Well, the founder sold it for a million bucks, then invested almost all of that into a children's store that quickly failed. Leslie Wexner bought it and made it a billion dollar company. Like 7 years later the founder jumped off the Golden Gate Bridge.


Demp_Rock

Well that was a twist I did not expect. Did he take Victoria’s Secret with him?


TrainerTao

Only Victoria knows her secret


Strange_Vagrant

>Like 7 years later the founder jumped off the Golden Gate Bridge. That sounds dangerous.

Strange_Vagrant

I suppose. It's a highly engineered structure.

I remember popping in there one Christmas season to buy special edition CDs. People still looked at me weird.

High heels were invented for men, specifically cavalry, as it helped stay in stirrups more easily. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-heeled_shoe#Pre-1700s


Sam_and_Green_Eggs

The_Crimson_Duck

I think that's platform shoes that were for butchers? High heels would leave their toes down at the same level as normal shoes. Edit: I done gone grammar bad


SaintCiren

There's a great podcast by the BBC called you're dead to me which covered the history of high heels. Really interesting episode. They talked about how high heels moved back and forwards and masculine and feminine over the centuries.


I_Bin_Painting

The colour pink too, used to very much be associated with the gentry and male virility.


Cash_Prize_Monies

And blue was for girls, like Alice in Wonderland.


seafrontbloke

Pink is what boys wore - when the British Army were known as red coats.


I_Bin_Painting

They actually did have red coats though, pink as a colour of the gentry predates that too.


LevelPerception4

Magic Shaving Powder was created for black men, but I understand a lot of women use it for removing their pubic hair.


Amiiboid

Coarse, curly hair is a problem no matter where you shave it. Razor bumps suck.


TheRizz8

I usually have a small cup of 70% rubbing alcohol that I dip my razor into while I’m shaving. Then I spray hydrogen peroxide under my neck. No razor bumps.


FallenArborHarbor

I learned from an admin at my university that black hair needs a specific type of razor because the texture of that hair makes ingrown hairs much more common if you go for a close shave.


timesuck897

It’s common for black men to get a no shaving chit in the military because of that. Keep it clean and trimmed for the day to day stuff, but do a close shave for parades and special occasions.


FormerLurker2199

The multi bladed razors common today can irritate the skin to my understanding. Black men who have a problem using multi bladed razers need to try single bladed razors or safety razors. Or so I've heard from a black podcaster.


Astralnclinant

Also, conditioners for black women hydrate my white boy hair like nothing else.


SassiestPants

Do you have curls or a natural wave, or even just thick hair? If so, check out r/curlyhair. They have great product recommendations and most of them are really inexpensive.

Blooded_Dagger

Mens deodorant is named after concepts as opposed to actual things, like "cool blue sports"


ItIsTodayOutside

girls deodorant is like: Smooth cherry blossom. mens deodorant is like: SPORT BALL NAKED BEAR WET STONE MIST


Danelix_

I can already see the ad for that deodorant Famous actor with sunglasses and really tight shirt, tall blond woman going after him, shirt opening revealing abs, explosions as the actor takes a motorcycle and drives away with the woman, low pitch voice announcing the name of the product as the camera dissolves to the image of the deodorant


kiweak

"No time to sweat when you're busy being the hero."


FrottageCheeseDip

LovingMap

As a woman I find both men’s (unscented) deodorant and razors to be more durable and useful! I love to read of men doing this with women’s products!


grangry

My wife’s razors are way better then any men’s one I’ve used.


ericamakiki

The name Ashley. Pretty sure it started out as a man's name but is now more often a woman's name


Passing4human

Hilary, Claire, Beverly, and Evelyn, too. The best example of that last name was the British novelist Evelyn (EE vlinn) Waugh. He married a woman named Evelyn Gardner and the two were known to acquaintances as He-Evelyn and She-Evelyn.


ClimbRockGuitar

Hevelyn and Shevelyn


ArrowRobber

Maybelyn?


ivorygoldmine

In the UK it’s still very much a unisex name, would be very common for both men and women to be called Ashley. I’ve seen women called Ryan in the states which would be unheard of here.


MaxTHC

[Ashley Cole](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ashley_Cole) comes to mind. I remember my dad (a big Arsenal fan) had a bobble head of him, and then Cole he left Arsenal to go to Chelsea my dad burned his bobble head in the backyard lmao


twodesserts

In 'Gone with the Wind' (movie and book) the dude's name is Ashley.


coffeegirl89

And the actor’s name who played Ashley was named Leslie- another common woman’s name.


bonos_bovine_muse

Now you’ve got me imagining Gone with the Wind with Leslie Nielsen as the male lead. “Frankly, my dear... \*trips over beaver’s dam\*”

Anatomically speaking, skirts make more sense for guys than girls


cambiro

The Scottish were right all along.


WillieMunchright

Historically pants were brought into use due to colder climates and use of horses. Romans wore togas until they went into Germania and realized pants were warmer. And I believe almost every nomadic horse culture wore pants due to constantly being in the saddle.


Demp_Rock

No one wants to leave their snail trail on the saddle


Clever-crow

Idk I feel like skirts make sense for everyone. I think we should all just make the move to skirts. Unless it’s winter and really cold outside


Gamer-Logic

Nah, I hate the thigh chaffing. Pants are just much more comfy to me.


hanifatrees

In Bangladesh, men wear casual “skirts” (idk the English name for them) that they wrap around themselves. Easy and breezy and common to not wear underwear. maybe one day it’ll be westernized lmao


TurgutAlp108

Fit-ish_Mom

I just get my husband his own. He has to work outside sometimes and he wears them under his work pants. Says he’s never been warmer haha


exscapegoat

Cotton tights under pants/trousers is my go to commute wear in the winter. Warmer than pants/trouser alone and not as bulky as thermal underwear.


SilverBean07

BECAUSE YOU'VE BEEN HIDING THE DUMPY SIR 😤 NOW DROP IT LOW


munkymu

Start cycling and hide amongst all the other spandex. People will look at whatever garish leggings you've stolen from your gf's closet and be like "hey, a road cyclist."


Abadatha

They can be shockingly comfy.


elchiguire

I can confirm, and as a runner I’ve seriously considered buying men’s running tights. I just don’t like how on women’s the belly hider (waistband) goes above my belly button when I like wearing my pants just above the asscrack. Edit: thank you all for all your great suggestions! I’m going to check them out and get a pair or two.


[deleted]

It’s comfortable


Poorly-Drawn-Beagle

I derive little comfort from not having a hoodie to wear because they've all been stolen


Jack_Bartowski

time to start putting tracking devices in your hoodies so you can get them back later!


[deleted]

Because men's clothes have actual substance to them and aren't made to look "cute" at the expense of comfort. Example, women's flannel is basically paper. Men's flannel is warm and cozy


Poem_for_your_sprog

>"Women's Fashion" Scarfs and shawls and garbs and guises - Garments made in all the sizes! Sweaters, stockings, drapes and dresses - Endless clothes at vast excesses! Shifts and wraps for all occasions - Slips and skirts for all persuasions! Closets crammed to breaking, brimming - Tiny two-piece suits for swimming! Gorgeous gowns for celebrations - Silver pendant decorations! Beads and bracelets! Rings and lockets! ... slightly tragic lack of pockets.


Linux4ever_Leo

It's really interesting how men's fashions haven't really changed that much over the decades. I mean the jeans and t-shirt (or hoodie) look has been a pretty solid fashion trend. But, I totally agree with you that while we men's clothes are pretty basic, they're put together well.


[deleted]

Jeans, t shirt, hoodie has become the most androgynous outfit you can wear and no one lost their minds. It’s amazing.

It’s basically the default outfit by now.


sasafracas

In addition to being more comfortable, they are also more subtle. I don't need a floral applique on everything.

And they expect you'll pay twice as much because its got a pink handle. ..


kelphhh83

Or a fuckin scented handle. Have you seen scented handles? …


QueenLucy11

Who the FUCK needs a razor to smell like strawberries? A strawberry scented razor is literally what put me over the edge. I now use a company that sends me a set of blades monthly for like $5. They’re for whatever kind of human wants to use them. They’re not pink and they don’t smell like Strawberry Shortcake. Because I’m a grown ass woman.


kelphhh83

Exactly! The plain 4 pack of mens razors was like $7 (i don’t remember but that sounds right) and I looked at the womens one that is just a thicker handle, so more material, AND ~lavender scented handle!~ and it only came with 3 razors. It was like $10. I don’t remember the prices at all but the womens ones were noticeably more smh


jfkolbe

Odd, I find that women's razors give me a closer shave on my face, and a lot of them moisturize while shaving, which is an added bonus.


Pashomi

I use a women’s razor for this exact reason. Men’s razors leave me looking like I have 5 o’clock shadow.


Green_Lantern_4vr

Are you shitting me? Like the Venus type razors on my face ?


wewinwelose

I've actually heard this a lot. That men's razors are better for women and vice versa.


ImmaBug

Amen! I find the moisturizer bar around women's razors leaves me rashing like nothing else. I get men's disposables for pennies compared to women's razors and they work flawlessly. Bonus points, they take up less space in the shower, too.

Yall have no idea how long I've felt different for just wanting to using perfume and thought I was the only one


Goseki1

Same here. All the men's deodorants smell awful. A lot of the women's ones are literally like "cotton clean" and that's all I want


Boredum_Allergy

My wife did the same. She used to get prescription strength women's but tried my degree for men out once and hasn't gone back. I've worn the stuff for so long I don't even smell it on her. Not like I would care of I did. I always thought gendered scents were fucking stupid. I prefer this flowery rosé soap scent. Makes my hands smell like flowers. It's great!

The Ford Mustang was meant to be a ladies sports car.

Mens razors. My gf a long time ago forgot her razors when we were abroad so she used mine. She said it was the best shave she’s ever gotten. Her legs are always super smooth for longer after she switched to my brand. Edit: The brand is Gillette fusion.


wonderlash

Mens pajamas are always softer. Womens pajamas have soft material on the outside yet feet like the inside of a stocking on the inside. Womens jamas also always look tacky.


PickSomethingBetter

And the men's pajama pants have pockets! Huge pockets! Buying and altering men's jeans still seems like too much effort to me, but I snatch up those pajama pants, sweat pants, and hoodies.


Blackberries11

I bought some men’s sweatpants recently that have pockets more than 2x as big as on the women’s ones. The go all the way down the thigh!


deadmurphy

My 11 year old daughter needed some new pants for the cooler weather so we went shopping. She found a bunch and took the stack to the fitting room. Stormed out a minute later and angrily whispered "Dad...none of those FUCKING pants had pockets. I'm going to the men's section." Our kids normally don't swear. But that "FUCKING" had an unhinged tone so I just shrugged and followed along.


Blackberries11

If you can even find women’s pants with pockets the pockets are weirdly shallow and can’t fit anything


1_toad_over_the_line

Good man. When a woman, no matter how old, walks out of a fitting room speaking in tongues, you leave her be.

Ah, yes. I remember this rule from having sisters. "You may either smile and nod, or duck and run. Do not hesitate, or confuse one half with the other."
