The Bizarre World of Pointlessly Gendered Products

foreign
as you can tell this video looks a
little different from my usual ones I
don't know if you can tell but this
video is strictly for girls yeah this is
a gals only video sorry fellas you're
gonna have to wait till the Blue version
comes out on my patreon yeah I'm just
kidding I don't have a patreon but my
podcast does go check it out okay so
today we're going to be talking about
gender and yeah let's get it out of our
systems gender I hardly know
[Music]
damn yeah I'm not gonna sit here and
pretend like I'm an educated figure when
it comes to gender or when it comes to
anything really I just think people
should be able to identify as whatever
gender they want to identify as I've
actually never understood why people
cared so much it really does not matter
all the outrage towards that is insane
well but these transgender people are
gonna start using the men's bathroom
okay you think they want to have you
seen a men's bathroom it's just
disgusting man I've seen poop on the
ceiling before but more specifically
we're not going to talk about just
gender and in general we're gonna talk
about gendered marketing if you don't
know what that is here's the definition
I wrote all on my own gendered marketing
consists of differentiating consumers
based on their gender through tailoring
one or several elements of the marketing
campaign or product features based on
gender stereotypes I was reading it off
the website I was watching SpongeBob
SpongeBob SquarePants is a funny show so
in simple terms blue stuff for boys pink
stuff for girls
they call a purse for men a merse or
sandals for men mandals I've dude I've
also seen leggings for men called
meggings men don't have legs I guess no
legs just Megs this is what I look like
when I'm not wearing any pants but some
of these examples get extremely
ridiculous and those are the products
that we're gonna be looking at today so
I think one of the main categories that
gendered marketing is the most prevalent
is with personal hygiene perfect example
are those like all-in-one shampoo slash
conditioner slash body wash slash Lube
slash ketchup concoctions that are like
only advertised towards men like this
Irish Spring five in one shampoo
conditioner Body Face 24 hour deodorizer
dude that sounds like [ __ ] RuPaul
lyrics shampoo conditioner Body Face 24
hour deodorizer and although these are
marketed towards men I'm like a hundred
percent sure this [ __ ] was invented by
some pissed off wife who who's just had
an update here with their stupid [ __ ]
husband who was just not washing his
body correctly one day she was finally
snapped and was like okay just use that
okay the very least just use this I can
literally smell your ass through your
breath also speaking of smelling ass I'm
really happy that they just called this
shampoo for men and not man poo it's
just so frustrating that all the girls
get all the pretty names for their
shampoo like smooth and silky full and
plush and the guy shampoos are like
machine gun smell odor oil shampoo and
that sounds crazy but that's not even
that big of a stretch because look at
this [ __ ] bottle of shampoo Hound
head 10w30 super refined shampoo
man-made Salon grade and that one's
[ __ ] crazy but look at their original
branding super refined shampoo for men
high performance Hair Care Maplewood
tobacco oil scenting I want to smell
like a garage after a nice shower
shampoo plus means that this product is
formulated to be more than just a
shampoo it can be news from the dab
you're it to the bottom of your piston
okay
is that supposed to be your [ __ ] do not
use this on your legs you can only go
from Top ahead to bottom of penis use on
your legs may God have mercy on your
soul like dude if you squint at this it
looks like [ __ ] motor oil dude this
is the shampoo that Lightning McQueen
uses or should I say lightning McLean
like if this is what it takes for you to
buy shampoo and use shampoo you are a
child you are a little baby boy it's not
manly to use this it's childish right
like this is the shampoo equivalent of a
parent pretending a spoonful of Cheerios
is an airplane so they can [ __ ] feed
their stupid baby you know what I mean
when you're like
[Music]
this is the same thing but instead of
that it's [ __ ] all right tilt your
head back Ron here comes the motor oil
foreign
hygiene products I found grenade soap
grass knuckle soap and gun soap
hey guys not everything has to be
violent you can have just a nice
relaxing shower with a normal bar of
soap and regular shampoo you can hang
out without just being like and trust me
the rabbit hole of like hygienic
products that are advertised towards men
is crazy deep during my research I
stumbled upon a pretty interesting
company that makes makeup for men and
it's called war paint it is makeup for
men and it's called warping it's not
called makeup it's warping warpaint for
men is a men's makeup brand designed
specifically from our audience and the
main name for me is change the whole
thinking around men's makeup I think you
can tell by just looking at me I've
never been to war like if I was drafted
into the army it'd be like a personality
height like I'm not a soldier in any
meaning of the word but even I am
offended by this dude I don't think
using a little bit of makeup to cover up
your eye bags is the same as someone
painting their face to risk their life
in the admirable fight for crude oil and
it's so weird because products like this
are always advertised towards men like
this is to help you be confident and
comfortable in your own masculinity and
it's like dude if your masculinity is
already so fragile that you can't just
walk into a [ __ ] Sephora and ask one
of the 1 million employees working for
some [ __ ] makeup to put under your
eyes and a product called war paint is
not gonna change anything if anything
you're just gonna be extra insecure
because when someone comes up to you
like oh you're wearing makeup you're
like no it's warpaint actually this is
like a perfect time to use that [ __ ]
good doctor meme dude is that makeup and
listen I'm sorry we're focusing so much
on men's products right now but I just
think it's so funny when companies make
products specifically for men like the
entire world isn't already for men and I
got another great example this is called
Savage for him it's laundry detergent
sheets let's go ahead and read this
website detergent built for men
transform your Daily Grind into a bold
statement Savage for him provides a
powerful cleaning experience without
smelling like a [ __ ]
Jesus man last part seemed a little
unnecessary what is it what does a [ __ ]
even smell like comment below what a
[ __ ] smell like so that's super funny
but what's even funnier is the picture
right underneath this one they made this
little diagram showing why uh Savage for
him is better than regular laundry
detergent and it's so [ __ ] good let's
look at it all right so first up regular
laundry detergent's got floral scent and
that's bad Savage for him manly sick
this one is heavy plastic jugs and
that's bad and Savage for him is a
lightweight box okay hold on isn't the
whole thing with Hyper masculinity like
I'm super strongest man ever so why is
this bad that it's a heavy plastic jug
right that guys love heavy plastic jugs
seriously if Savage for him really
wanted to cater to men they should ship
these In Like A Stone box this should be
a hundred pounds dude okay next one it
says this one is difficult to store but
this one easy to store also wrong I mean
maybe this one is so difficult to store
because it's so heavy right you can't
get it up on the Shelf it's so heavy
right fellas you guys [ __ ] know dude
there's nothing heavier than laundry
detergent hard to measure no measuring
needed that's wrong too laundry
detergent is the easiest thing to
measure there's a [ __ ] there's a cup
there's lines on it you pour it you put
it in this diagram is making it seem
like men are like children and capable
of doing anything without [ __ ] it up
like is that what men are
don't answer that actually don't and
last but not least pouring leaves a mess
versus easy to use sheets okay yeah so I
guess the average man is a [ __ ]
infomercial actor
okay let's see what else is on Savage
for him how to use
see this yet
[ __ ] [ __ ] kill him
do your laundry motorcycle oh my God
guys come on okay I think that's enough
about products for men let's move on to
the girls stuff over the years there's
been a lot of uh frankly insulting
products marketed towards women I think
it's gotten a little better but it's
still pretty brutal sometimes like 10 15
years ago dude [ __ ] was crazy you had
the Bic pens for her you know because
girls can't use blue ink Blues For Boys
you had those old Secret commercials
strong enough for a man but made for a
woman Minnie had awesome products like
chick beer here
if you didn't know it was beer for
chicks it was uh low in calories and
they made the packaging look like a
little purse they tie an outfit together
once you're tying one on it's just so
wild because all of these products
they're pointless but also just like so
condescending like every product for
women is like oh you want to use the
same stuff that the boys do
sure sure I'll let you have that yeah
I'll let you do that just let me uh let
me use this pink paint and I'll get it
ready for you like these silicoax stool
softener it's blue it's for boys number
one doctor recommended ingredients all
right what does the girl one look like
from the makers of Dulcolax pink dulco
ease pink
stool softener number one OB GYN
recommended ingredient also I love that
they made the the packaging pink but
they still thought women weren't going
to get it so they [ __ ] wrote it on
the box too you see it it's pink you
love this [ __ ] and one more thing that
bugs me about this solco ease pink says
it gently relieves constipation but the
blue one just says constipation relief
so does the blue Dulcolax not do it
gently it doesn't relieve constipation
and like a really brutal rough manly way
okay so I've been constipated for weeks
who's weeks why would they make you do
something like that what no I
I've been constipated for a while ah
gotcha okay here take this oh sorry
sorry what the heck this is dokoy's pink
you're a boy
sorry here you go just take one of those
and your constipation will go away in no
time
okay ow
ow
oh my God ow
what did you give ow it hurts what hurts
everything good
it's working the new Dulcolax stool
softener for boys with its
patent-pending heart stopping technology
you'll die a painful death and so will
your constipation don't go LAX
and the shitty thing about this is that
they use tactics on people
no way you give birth to a boy they get
blue clothes you give birth to a girl
they get pink clothes and like these
weird [ __ ] pointless gender roles get
just [ __ ] shoved down their throat
before they even like talk like these
bibs for example the boy gets one that
says boy genius and the girl gets one
that says ready for my hashtag selfie
this is like a fun game for all of you
guys after this video is done go to
Google Search any random product and
then put for women or for men at the end
and you'll get some really good result
because there is no boundaries they will
take any product and inject gender into
it for no reason like these girly girl
binoculars you know just in case you
want to look at some Far Away makeup
because you're a girly girl and uh
what's interesting about the male
counterpart is they're called North
American binoculars the [ __ ] idle on
it ah the two genders female North
American and after looking at pictures
of all these products I started
wondering myself like are these even
effective like do they work they've been
doing this forever so marketing like
this must be incredibly effective right
wrong the only group that gendered
marketing works on
is men because we all have [ __ ]
caveman brains we see a thing that says
oh shampoo for men and we go that's me a
study show that companies who use
gendered marketing towards women to try
to entice them to buy their product it
actually does the complete opposite I'll
read this direct quote gender labels
threaten women more than men because
women have long been marginalized by
negative stereotypes so they're more
sensitive to marketing that tries to put
them in a box I also was curious I
wanted to do some more research about
the whole blue for boys and pink for
girls because I I never found out the
origin I just assumed it was just they
just picked colors one day I guess so I
looked it up and dude here's the [ __ ]
T pink used to be the Boy Color could
have slayed so hard boys
look what they took from us man and the
flip side of that blue used to be the
girls color apparently back in the day
they viewed Pink as like a close
relative to the color red and they saw
red as a stronger Bolder color so they
assigned it to the men so it's
comforting to know that whatever colors
were assigned to each gender the
reasoning behind it has always been a
little sexist
I just think it's so 2000 and late to
separate things based on gender
especially with products that do not
need to be separated that way like with
vitamins and [ __ ] I guess that makes
sense but like tape or here's a good one
Ouija boards that's got to be the
craziest one are there any girlies here
with us right now yes
and although I should just end the video
right here I wanted to find out if there
was any real difference between these
gendered products so I ordered the
craziest ones I could find on the
internet and we're gonna test them out
so let's go
[Music]
hey guys I'm in my podcast Studio
because I have some family staying over
at my house and I don't want to be even
more annoying than I already am so I
scoured the internet to try to find some
weird gendered products and I found
quite a few first off we have uh dude
wipes I've never heard of these before
but they're extra large wipes as you can
see because men have extra large
[ __ ] they're sort of just gaping
poop just sort of falls out sometimes
fragrance free yeah it's girly to have
your ass smell good I feel like we gotta
get it's either [ __ ] or no snow so this
says back in the day we founded dude
products out of our apartment in Chicago
we were so tired of dealing with dry
toilet paper during the aftermath of a
lunchtime burrito so I tried to find
like a a woman equivalent you know like
dudette wipes or lady wipes every time I
would like search up flushable wipes for
women like feminine wipes would pop up
and you'd be like perfect for your
intimate area balance your pH levels so
they're talking about the vagina and I
don't have one of those thanks a lot God
so I just have like the regular
flushable wipes that uh that are for
just anyone this says it was tested with
plumbers like they white plumber's asses
you know how you can always see a
plumber's butt crack that's when they
would test it when they was the plumber
would be hunched over and they'd be like
oh perfect that was their opportunity
right plumber I hardly know also this
got me thinking the fact that there's a
dude wipe and also just like a generic
wipe for all genders that's just more
proof that girls don't poop I'm on to
you ladies okay nothing gets past me all
right so yeah I'm gonna go test these
out and see if there's any real
difference between the dude wipes and
the generic ones I guess I went into the
bathroom and immediately pulled out some
sheets to compare the sizes when I was
caught off guard by this hilarious
sticker they put on the dude wipes so I
had myself a nice little giggle and upon
close inspection the so-called extra
large dude wipes are really not that
much bigger than the generic wipes I
don't even know if they're bigger at all
they might just have different
dimensions but enough about the size I
gotta see if these wipes work the same
so I took a number two in the bathroom
and obviously I can't show you the
details here but both wipes worked
perfectly fine I flushed the wipes down
the toilet and said goodbye another job
well done
or so I thought after I flushed these
wipes down the toilet I saw a sign that
said please avoid putting any other
object in the toilet and I respect my
office space so I dove down there to get
them back okay verdict they're the same
[ __ ] thing uh they both wipe your ass
completely fine dude wipes are just
about two percent bigger or maybe it's
pronounced Duty I don't know all right
next up we got an interesting product
earbuds so yeah these are called Sleep
Pretty in Pink and quiet snoring
shouldn't it like quiet everything
because this has noise reductions the
orange ones reduce all noise but this
one is just snoring it actually
amplifies everything else on the
packaging there's nothing that says it's
for women it used to say earplugs for
women but they changed it but on the
back on this little [ __ ] barcode it
says Heroes sleep Pretty in Pink women's
ear plugs let's compare the size and the
shape between these two I'd like to
share with you what makes the sleep
pretty and pink earplugs such a
wonderful product for women looking to
block snoring as well as fall asleep and
stay asleep Okay so we've got the
regular all gendered earplugs and then
we've got the girl ones here so let's
just let's check out the the the normal
ones okay nice now that's an ear plug
now the girl one immediately looks a lot
smaller right yeah dude it looks like it
looks so much smaller you'll notice that
the tip of the plug is nicely rounded to
provide the highest degree of comfort it
also doesn't get wider on the bottom so
I feel like I could just get swallowed
up by your ear a lot easier you know
okay so for reference I'm just gonna try
these out
can't hear anything earplugs we all know
them they could be nose plugs who knows
okay now the girl ones
so right off the bat they go in a lot
kind of annoying I'm more of a Bratz gal
myself these are like scary how uh I
feel like how easy they would be to just
like get stuck in your ear or maybe
they're right maybe girls have really
really tiny tiny ear holes I don't I
don't know I will say it's kind of weird
that I couldn't find specific earbuds
Just For Men but I mean do men even need
earplugs they don't listen to begin with
am I right ladies
like the video verdict same [ __ ]
thing these are just a little too small
for my big huge manly ears okay we've
got two more products that I want to try
this one really shocked me not as much
as the the next one we're gonna be
looking at but this one especially
really uh confused me it's a hammer a
hammer for girls and it's suffocating
that was the close one it feels pretty
sturdy you know it feels like it would
here's the one I that I just have at my
house that me and Jenna used when we're
nailing oh yeah they're in love okay
again this is like one of the most
insulting things ever being like hey
look look it's for you look look it's
pink you like that you're a girl
um I guess the only way to really test
this out is to like Hammer some Nails
right
yeah man big surprise they're the same
[ __ ] thing they both do the exact
same thing Hammer is a hammer right I
actually low-key like this one more I
don't know if because it's like newer it
felt better to like Hammer oh my God I
just thought of a great name for it a
ham her
[Applause]
I'm already like picturing how like what
a TV ad for this would look like it'd be
like Girls Love Nails ah not those kind
of nails these nails hammering
in case we have one more product here
that has been pointlessly gendered this
one really caught me by surprise and I I
am sad that I have these turns out they
made
his and her
Bibles they've got the new international
version boys Bible and then they've got
the new international version the
ultimate Bible for girls and the
differences are crazy I'll read you the
back of this grow into the young man God
wants you to be dig deep into God's word
and learn amazing new facts discover
inspiring people and stories and uncover
all kinds of stuff that you never
imagined was in the Bible helpful fun
and often downright astonishing the NIV
boys Bible features unique and
meaningful content features what's the
big deal need to know biblical stories
and people check it out interesting and
funny facts about Bible times and
characters
Grossology gross and gory stuff you
never knew was in the Bible
Grossology if it oozes bleeds smells or
makes your spine tingle it's in the
Bible God didn't avoid the messy parts
of life he left them in so get ready to
squirm okay yeah so they just got like a
bunch of facts it really does not look
like the [ __ ] good time that they're
making it out to be but um now let's
read the back of the girls Bible packed
with exciting features that help girls 8
to 12 better understand themselves in
scripture the NIV ultimate Bible for
girls teaches girls that the Bible is
real relevant and best of all that the
story of God and his people is your
story too features include uh book
introductions read about the who when
where and what dude no shot okay I
actually haven't read the back of this
before okay dream girl use your
imagination to put yourself in the story
no [ __ ] way
dude you think in the Bible it says why
slash and dude I can't believe they told
you to insert yourself into the Bible I
wish the people stoning Jesus to death
it was so girl about what would it have
been like to live on Noah's ark or to
see baby Jesus snugly sleeping in a
hay-filled Manger how about seeing God
create the world this feature will help
you imagine yourself in some of the most
familiar and amazing Bible stories dude
I'm sorry I gotta find one of these I
flip through the lady Bible to find some
amazing dreamy story to insert myself
into but I realized the Bible isn't
really a book you want to imagine
yourself in I definitely would not
recommend shifting into the Bible dude
the dream girl segments aren't even like
cute they're like scary your sadness is
heavier than the pack of belongings you
carry on your back
just as the death of her house
so there's a little peek into the the
gendered Bibles find it a little crazy
that they can just do that I feel like
this should just be the Bible and that's
it but hey what do I know these are like
the only things that are vastly
different from the products that I've
used I don't know what that means but
it's Gotta mean something and maybe I'll
figure it out by the time I film the
conclusion of this video so let's find
out let's find out
I had a feeling that the gendered
products were going to work the same way
because they're the same products just
advertised differently I do want to
apologize for not trying out the
Dulcolax and the dulco ease pink it
would have been tough to purposely
induce constipation and then try both of
those out I don't know if I'm that
devoted to my crap craft the craziest
thing about this video obviously is the
fact that they made the Bible boy
version and girl version that is so
[ __ ] crazy to me and of course the
boy one is like the Bible's so gross and
crazy and a whole lot of fun and the
girl one is like wouldn't it be so fun
to pretend your whole life is falling
apart and also I know this is a touchy
subject and I'm one of preface this by
saying I am not religious like in the
slightest but I don't think you should
be able to change religious texts in
order to cater to certain genders that's
cheating the Bible's [ __ ] boring and
it should be kept as that right don't
try to [ __ ] fluff it up because if
they can change that and that's fine
what else have they changed over the
years maybe at one point the Bible said
that it actually was a okay to be gay we
don't know it wouldn't surprise me
what's the first syllable in Bible
bye I do wonder how much better the
world would be if we didn't force
societal gender Norms onto people and
have the absurdity reinforced
subconsciously through North American
binoculars and pink hammers maybe guys
wouldn't feel so sad and confused all
the time because maybe sometimes a dude
wants to buy a pink shirt but then he
doesn't because he's scared that his
friends are gonna call him gay so he
just ignores it and doesn't buy the pink
shirt and then later when he sees
another man wearing a pink shirt he gets
super jealous and makes fun of that
person because the only way he knows how
to deal with that emotion is through
anger
it's really fun to think about being
sure it is a metaphor by the way how
about this going forward we all make a
pact all right we have to be on the same
page because I know some of you are
again to that age of you know wanting to
start a family and stuff so I think if
you have a baby don't succumb to the
societal pressure of putting a boy in
blue and a girl in pink okay because I
think that's where all the problems
begin so I think instead if you have a
baby dress it up like the skateboarding
legend Tony Hawk because no one's gonna
give a [ __ ] about their gender at that
point everybody's gonna be way too busy
crowding around that baby chanting do a
kickflip do a kickflip do it
