What's this got to do with gender though? It's not the hair, but the product which differentiates. "Woman's" products are a scam, in every single category. Especially "woman's only" products like tampons etc...
How are tampons a scam? Especially in the context of hair products?
gendered products are scams, tampons are actually toxic, plus insanely expensive, which they don't need to be.
That's a scandal, not just a scam. But tampons are actually a necessity for many women who are not comfortable with other period products.
I see your point with many gendered products like pink kinder surprise that cost more than the regular or an unnecessary bunch of hair products marketed gendered.
But the way you delivered your example in this context was not well phrased.
Yeah maybe, these topics make me sad and I don't really like to indulge in them. So I don't spend time thinking about my arguments, but generally, period products are way overpriced, and often use chemicals proven to be harmful.
I get your point. But allow me to brighten your day: 20 Places Around the World Where Governments Provide Free Period Products
Yeah, how can you make gendered products for a gendered problem‽‽‽
