What does my head in is the way so many casual clothes like t-shirts are pointlessly gendered. There's way more variance between one individual person and the next, versus the difference between men and womens' bodies as an overall group. There's plenty of top-heavy guys just as there's plenty of justice-chested ladies, so why not just market casual clothes based on what shape they are rather than what gender you should conform to in order to wear it, and let the customer decide whether a given design is too girly or manly for them.
Sports shoes are the worst offenders, because stylistically these days 98% of them look absolutely identical but are split by gender anyway for no fucking reason.
