    I had a maternity nurse tell me about how she'd hear family in the delivery room react to a newborn boy crying by saying stuff like he had strong lungs and react to a newborn girl crying by saying "she's going to be a bitch". I couldn't stop thinking about it for days. It still haunts me.

    When my nephew was born, my sister bought clothing in gender neutral colors, sometimes even buying things specifically for girls, because a baby won't give a heck what color it's wearing or if a shirt's covered in daisies. His toys have consistently been a mix of Legos, baby dolls, toy kitchen stuff, plastic dinosaurs, and Matchbox cars. She and her husband try to instill in him a sense that girls are just the same as him, and hopefully he doesn't fall into the same issues other boys his age might, now that he's in school.

    As a woman who worked as a mechanic for years it was one of the most annoying things in the world to see tools marketed towards women that were actually more expensive because they were pink and sometimes they weren't even high quality. Since I was the only woman mechanic in most of the shops that I ever worked in, the only real advantage to having pink tools in the shop would be that everyone would know who the tool belonged to. Of course, I could accomplish this task by just carving my name in my tools or painting them whatever the hell color I wanted. When I got my big toolbox for the shop, all the men expected me to get a pink one but my favorite color was orange so I got the biggest and brightest orange toolbox that I could find. Tools are for all genders.

      My religious school did a separate course that was just religious studies but for girls and it was essentially how to be a pious wife to your future husband backed by out of context religious quotes. Being obedient and submissive to your husband, household chores, child bearing and being a firm with your religion. We were like 10-11yrs old and no they boys had nothing like this. They were either outside playing basketball or it would be general free time for them

      Eh makeup was first worn by both genders at the same time tens or even hundreds of thousands of years before written history when we were still hunter gatherers as part of ceremony or practical needs, and throughout time has continued to be worn by both genders even to this day, although a stigma of males wearing it came about in the 19th century with the rise of the cosmetic industry as part of the Industrial Revolution, but don’t let this fool you as men in powerful and influential positions all around the world still routinely wear makeup, it’s just not vocally stated, again due to this relatively recent stigma.

It can be helpful if you think the Bible is only about dudes walking around talking about heaven, because a woman-focused Bible would have more interpretations that are favorable to women and also the always great highlight of the story about a woman stabbing a guy in the head with a tent spike (Jael!).

      not surprising honestly, Christianity is big on gender roles (though more progressive churches do make an effort to move away from that) so it really only makes sense that they try to instill it young.
      More fundamentalist churches will go so far as to separate boys and girls for separate, gendered lessons.

Like it'll say "nightime bodysuit" or "stretchy rompers". One day this elderly couple bought a little white fuzzy bodysuit with a bear on it, and it scanned as "girl's bodysuit". The HORROR on their faces. They looked at eachother and then asked me if that was an error, if it was also designed for boys, and more importantly "is it masculine enough?" I had to reassure them it was completely neutral, the most important thing was the materials etc. they sat there thinking for 5minutes, then decided not to take it. It honestly made me sad to know they were so indoctrinated in this ridiculous gender separation, that they couldn't buy a 4€ onesie that would get filled with shit regardless of what colour it was.

But you're right, the colors of the collars/leashes/harnesses are for the HUMANS, not the dogs. They dgaf and they also don't have any concept of gender.

    If there's a part 2, Kurtis should talk about the pink tax, aka products marketed towards women being priced higher than the comparable "male" products, even though they're effectively the same. It's discriminatory pricing causing women to pay more for things like hygiene products, and when you combine that with the fact that women make less money on average than men (due to more discrimination ofc), women get doubly screwed over. I did a whole presentation about gendered marketing in college and went to the store and compared prices and everything

    • @prettierjesus3119

    • @washedblue
      @washedblue Рік тому +79

      yes! I've been borderline neglecting my hair by not getting it cut as often because of this. the pandemic only made pricing worse. never fails to get me heated when I see "women's cuts" as 2-3x expensive regardless of hair length the person has. doesn't matter if you want a simple cut and no extras. and guys with long hair don't get charged extra either. a large portion of people with long hair are already likely to pamper their hair and require more product, hence are likely to return often, but that's apparently not enough. like fair play if you're a boutique with 5 clients a day, but it's ridiculous at this point.
      barbers will often refuse to do women's hair because they lack the skill/experience ("women are too fussy"), or simply refuse anyone who presents as female because it's a place 'designated for men.' I have guy friends who get their hair cut at home because they think pricing is already too high for them, and I always have to bury the urge to complain how expensive it is for women (and those perceived as such)
      I wouldn't be surprised to see the next TikTok trend being dressing up as a guy just so you can actually have your ends trimmed for less than $60 (not including tip ofc).

What often frustrates me is not only how female clothes are more expensive, but also how often I would find them being of worser quality than the mens even if it's the exact same model of smth (fabric being thinner or not having fricking normal sized pockets in jeans that can fit a phone, omg)... but like, the mens clothes design might not appeal to me or classically - not have my size. Or some products only exist for men, so I won't have my size by default. So that's some unsolvable issues almost discriminative in nature that do exist. Probably there are examples with some products to mirror this from the other side.

Does it clean better than the women's soap? Is men skin more high maintenance than women, so it needs more + stuff in it?

    The crude oil joke made me laugh so hard because i was thinking “why is Kurtis hyping the military-” and then he said “for crude oil”

    My uncle’s nickname is dude. To the extent that dude literally replaces his name majority of the time. We were out and saw something called dude wipes so we knew we had to get them for him as a gag gift. I still don’t understand why gendered wipes exist but it made for a funny joke so it wasn’t all bad.

    the girl bible advertising that it has self-inserts written in it and then you opening up to one and the first sentence being "Your sadness is heavier than the pack of belongings you carry on your back" made me choke on my laughter. the bible is rlly for all the angst-loving girlies out there

    As a girl that was raised in a strictly cogic christian household, for christmas we would get biblical journals from the church. I somehow got both (boy and girl) journals by accident, and when i looked at the table of contents. For the boy it discussed: depression, sadness, women (for some reason), AND MASTERBATION (mind you this is for preteens), and lastly PORN ADDICTION?!?!. On the other hand for girls it was modesty, insecurities, school, and "how to be a wife"?!?! These were gender seperated agenda like journals for 9-12 year olds. 20:02

      Well, women don't experience sadness, obviously.
      I can *kind of* understand the porn addiction thing? People do often get interested in porn at like 12? I guess it's a good idea to know what to do *before* you get addicted?
      I'm also just gonna say that in very religious homes, sometimes people with porn addictions are deeply closeted gays. >_> side eyeing my cousin who I thought was gay for years who announced he had gotten over his porn addiction

      Tbf some kids start doing self-pleasure early af. The thing is that there's no difference between boys and girls in this regard. Either way I don't think that Church is the best institution to teach about such activities considering they usually see it as inherently evil

    My mom tried really hard to not make my entire room pink when she had me, but my birthday being in February meant I got a lot of Valentine’s Day adjacent stuff for my birthday in the early years.
    When I was twelve I did the typical 12 girl thing and subcomed to a level of sexism by deciding I actually hated pink and blue was my favorite color. Which I wild because pink freaking rocks and at 22 it’s my favorite color

    • @annieeames2282

    • @tinyblueunicorn7807

      I've been in and out of this because I succumbed to peer pressure and feeling different when I was little. I felt like my favourite colour had to be pink and made my mum get me a Barbie. Then I realised how much I hated the stereotypes (didn't help that toy marketing is really condescending, plus I had two older brothers) and wasn't really into hyper-feminine things and started rejecting anything pink. I liked red which was darker and seemed more cool and grown-up.
      Now for a while my favourite colour has been blue followed by purple. Repainted all my walls and changed toys. I don't hate pink anymore but there's still a lot I prefer, and I probably won't wear something that's 100% pink because it's not my colour. Unsurprising message: nobody should have to be only "masculine" or "feminine", most people are somewhat both and the things we associate with them shouldn't be so rigid and inflexible. A girl can like "feminine" things without being "basic" and liking "masculine" things doesn't automatically mean she has internalised misogyny.
      Plus, it was only recently that we started associating those colours with those genders anyway, it used to be the other way around because pink was seen as the "stronger" colour and blue more "dainty".

    as a girl raised christian- the gendered bibles happen so quick. my brothers had an even more extreme “boy bible” with chains(????) on it and mine was a girls bible that had random bits throughout mentioning the girls in the bible and how they served their husband from first person. i may try and find it and reply to this w an example. i mainly just didn’t like it growing up bc my brothers had sections for notes n maps n stuff for, yk, utilizing the bible. mine just had big ass flowers everywhere so as soon as i had money i span $50 on a bible that had maps and note taking sections. it’s rly stupid and i remember being so pissed that i had to carry around post it’s to bible camp to take notes bc my bible had no space bc of the stupid flowers lmao

In that way aren't you kind of twisting the bible?? Isn't that sacrilegious lmao 😂 I'm not christian so idk but it seems hella dumb when the author adds their own notes or changes like BRUH NAW

      Kinda wild to just include random gender based commentary in the Bible. It could completely remove the context from a lot of passages I feel like. Which especially becomes an issue for adherents of biblical literacy. It bothers me so much, especially because the people concerned with biblical literacy almost never use accurate translations, and this is just starting that habit out young.

I'm actually pretty sure they still make it lmao

      ​@Isabel-sr8ep I got "The Body Book for Girls" from American Girl as a present from my aunt and uncle and it ABSOLUTELY saved me during puberty! It was all about bodily changes but also touched on dealing with emotions! It was one of my absolute favorites because it didn't belittle me as a girl, it just spelled out what to expect and taught you to be patient with yourself and your growth, whatever shape and size you may be! It also touched on mental health and eating disorders which is huge and I'm glad they put that info in there. One of my many childhood favorite books and such a great resource
