@@AIHumanEqualityWhile true, I think he’s referring to the width between the straps which you can’t change easily short of taking the straps off and resewing them yourself. It probably matters more for a hiking backpack since that’s expected to carry more weight for longer.
@@melonrue Actually the strap length can effect the width of a backpack both for hiking packs and normal packs on top of that many straps can move around so they can adjust to different body sizes that's kind of the point. Unless you have an extremely small or extremely massive body you can likely use any pack. The only exception to this obviously are children who need smaller backpack sizes.

Nowadays most ebikes are step through. Edit: spelling errors fixed
@williamknight9379 that could also be possible (does seem likely for 1800 early 1900). However, in late 1900, women would wear pants, so it became a change with a child carrier

If you look closely, the SheShed one does have something the ManCave one doesn't: _fruit._ So maybe it isn't really a "pink tax" but just the cost of the fruit?
i feel like that’s still a pink tax though just with an extra step. why is it only the sheshed that has fruit? why is fruit feminine? why wasn’t a “masculine” thing of equal value in the mancave so the prices were balanced?
22:40 Hiking Backpacks also have to fit really well on your back. So that you can carry them for hours straight through difficult terrain. Because of that, they are usually more expensive (and bigger so everything fits in). So Hicking Backpacks are pretty useful to differentiate
16:40 Hey! I had a copy of that come through a thrift store I worked at! There was also a “don’ts for husbands” of course bound in a blue cover They were both actually full of actual stuff. One bit from “for husbands” was something like “don’t sharpen pencils over carpet, your wife won’t like it and it’ll upset the maid” or something along those lines I didn’t have long to look at them as I was working, but I regret not buying them myself! It’d be funny to flip through both of them!
@@kaderen8461there's a fine line between soft and fragile. The softer the tp, the more likely it is to tear or disintegrate while wiping. That being said, this is 100% just so they can put the pink tax on some tp. Use soft tp to your hearts content.
I know several women who have complained about extreme itching and burning while using some of the new scented varieties of toilet paper that's now available.
I would agree with Damian on the glass jack o lanterns too. Since the jack o lantern depicts a character, it is sensible to have male and female presenting looking ones. This subreddit will show a doe and a stag next to each other and claim it's pointlessly gendered.
The hair salon/barber does make sense to me, to a degree. In my country, while they may be named "Lady's Salon" and "Men's Salon" (if translated into English), it mainly refers to the hairdressers who CUT and style longer hair (usually for women) and the barbers that SHAVE hair and style beards. Normal hairdressers usually can't do fancy shaving stuff and the barbers usually can't do haircuts very well. However, they're not gender exclusive but rather hairstyle/-length exclusive, so obviously women can go to "Men's Salons" and vice versa. It just so happens that men in my country are far more likely to have short hair that requires a razor to trim and women are far more likely to have hair long enough to require scissors for cutting.
Fun fact: When we went to the Christmas farm to grab a tree, my sister came back from the place with a big ass branch and refused to put it back. Since it fit in the trunk and she was so hellbent on keeping it, my mom let her take this unnecessarily large stick home where she stuck tinsel and sparkles all over it. Moral of the story: Sticks are cool, everyone likes sticks in some capacity, and when an 8 year old wants a stick from a tree farm, just let me have the damn thing 💀💀
Every human likes cool sticks It's been ingrained in our unga bunga minds from the beginning, good stick can be used to not die if something attacks you
The bike debate has a reason. Step through bikes were mainly used by women, because its easier and safer to get on it with a long skirt than with step over. Thats all. Its mostly about prefferences, but wearing a long skirt and using a step over bike is not just silly looking most of the time, but can be dangerous too
19:46 I know EzPz and Emkay are pretty similar and occasionally poke fun at each other as well as read the same posts a lot, but I didn't expect to see a screenshot of one of The Click's videos in this one.
Growing up in the 80's, I remember the whole bike thing. I think it came from way back where women were only supposed to wear skirts and dresses so they couldn't kick their leg over the bike. Why they kept bikes like that for men instead of just making it easier for everyone, I don't know. I got my mountain bike in the 90's and that was considered a boys bike back then so it only came in one version.
having played the game in the mushroom advert; the mushroom person turns more human-looking the higher your level is. you're picking your character's appearance. idk why there isn't more customisation but i'm guessing because that isn't the focus.
11:11 I wouldn't call that a pink tax moment honestly. it seems like the mens version doesn't come with fruit, and the $4 differences seems significantly not as impactful when it's less than 10% of the price for some fruit in addition to everything else. i guess what they are saying is the classic "only women like fruit" thing so they differentiate based on that alone
The men's/women's hiking backpack difference is because they use a rigid frame. In general men and women have different proportions (shoulder/hip width, different heights, etc), there are only a few adjustments and you might be hiking with it for days. The fit is more important than a regular backpack.
A Person can hike with a men's or women's backpack, whatever they find comfortable. A men's pack frame is going to be sized for broader shoulders, and a women's pack frame for wider hips and take into account that a sternum strap would need to be more adjustable. It's important to find something that fits you personally. It's like shoes and clothes, wear whatever you like, but generally the fit of the clothing takes different proportions into account.
@@Compgeek86agreed, it's more of a choice. Women with wider shoulders can use the men's backpacks and same for men using the women's. Its all about personal fitting.

7:50 The whole difference between the two bikes was one was designed for people wearing trousers, and the other was designed for people wearing skirts or dresses. If you had to swing your leg over the bike to get on, someone might be getting a look up your skirt\dress.

10:53 my guess for the price difference is wine vs. beer. In the restaurants I’ve been in so far if they served wine it was noticeably more expensive than beer
So with the bike one, there is a historical reason why they are known as boys and girls bikes. One has a top bar which makes it sturdier resulting better weight capacity (good for heavier boys) The ones without the top bar allow you to ride without it holding a skirt up, which was ideal for girls since it used to be they could only wear skirts and dresses in public in some areas (crossdressing laws that mostly fell appart with the world wars). As to which is a step over and which is a step through, I don't know but I grew up with my mom's bike which was a convertable. It had a removeable top bar which allowed for it to convert between the two types.
Translation for 6:05 Girls: Pressing the fire alarm Just scrolling TikTok Cutting classes Boys: Learning hard in order to understand what the teacher taught us yesterday
The thumbnail I don't find pointless, they probably don't cut women's hair. We here have a pretty common idea to make your customers clear otherwise you have people you can't help, wearing you out about it.
What a load of crap. I get my hair cut at a barbers. I am female and I like a close cut that can’t be done at a Salon. I have no issue with it and neither do they so get over it.
My older brother has a pink bag. He says it's to keep his stuff from being stolen at like... the gym, but I'm pretty sure he just really likes pink and doesn't want to admit it.
See, what I'm getting from the pizza bathroom one is that women deserve more pizza. As a trans woman who loves pizza, I can absolutely get behind this.
If a cis person, NB person and trans person all sit at this desk together, it rips a hole in the space-time continuum. 2:22 Oof! That looks painful. If you're female you have to be double jointed to pee. If you're male, you just have to bend over backwards🤣 3:32 The pizza analogy is just pointlessly crude. Restrooms themselves are what are pointlessly gendered.
0:20 Honestly, I like the "Tune Up" thing. I mean, considering you're a brain piloting a meat mech, thus your body is a machine, a trim and a massage isn't not a "tune up." Also, I don't want my nostrils flooded with artifical floral stink. I've never been to a spa or salon. I just have strong opinions on air fresheners. At anyone that's been to a typical spa/salon, is the air generally as oversaturated with artifical floral as a smoker trying to cover up tobacco stench?
Can’t speak for spas, but the two salons I went to with my family didn’t smell floral. They smelled like hairspray, the kind that makes you cough when someone uses it. Also, the sanitizer liquid they use doesn’t smell floral. I liked being shorn, so that made it better.
Hiking backpacks are more for keeping the weight on your waist then back.compared to normal backpacks with only have support on your shoulders and back and not waist.
I wouldn't count the "Manly salon" as being pointlessly gendered. Hairdressing establishments have pretty much always been separated on gender lines. Yeah, there are unisex salons, but they're by far rare and hard to find
The more I get into marketing, the more i feel like its not pointlessly gendered BY corporations, its because there is a market for them. It works because BUYERS decide to buy based on that. Imagine this wasn’t the case back then and the suddenly someone just tried to make an experiment out of one product gendered. (I wonder what it was) It must have worked and statistically still working i guess if corporations still make these distinctions (without distinct feature differences). Also, alot of things now have distinction for reasons.
i mean…they did it with razors/shaving during the war. before that women weren’t even expected to shave at all but now there’s mens shaving stuff and womens shaving stuff
1:25 That's in German and it reads "Traumweich" = soft like a dream, "Hakle" = just the brand, "Das Toilettenpapier" = the toilet paper I dunno why a woman would need softer loo roll than a man smh
I mean, with how utterly obsessed with gender (cis) people seem to be these days, I can understand why that last sentence in the flute post is there. I'm the only guy I know that learnt flute and hell that's because I'm trans, so because it is an instrument that does skew towards girls/women primarily playing it, I can understand that a 'what if people think my son is a girl?' obsessive type would have that concern. it's very much a first world problem, but it's better than having people not being allowed to play an instrument they take an interest in because some nutty mother thinks that because the instrument has a primarily feminine player base, it's automatically girls-only. that being said, it is totally a wild sentence to read lol

As an incredibly self conscious Enby, all the pointlessly gender stuff has given me extreme social anxiety. "Awh, that's a cute dress! (I can't wear it, people will automatically think you're a girl!)" "What a nice shirt. (It's pink! Oh my god. No!)" I look feminine by nature, being assigned female at birth, so I've always attempted to look more masculine. And all of these products just make things worse for me. ._.)
I think the reason Tune Up: The Manly Salon exists is because a lot of guys don't like going to salons and this makes them want to because who doesn't want arcade games and shuffleboard.

11:05 isn't 'pink tax' they are actually different. the SheShed has fruit while the ManCave doesn't. Also they are probably different cheese, meats, and dippings cause you wouldn't pair the same things with a beer and a wine.
I think as there is no pink tax rise in price, its fine if they gender the advertisement for products. Just a stupid marketing to attract the group who seems to most often buy the object. Though I do agree with people take this way to seriously and its used way to often to raise the prices.

i feel like that’s still a pink tax though just with an extra step. why is it only the sheshed that has fruit? why is fruit feminine? why wasn’t a “masculine” thing of equal value in the mancave so the prices were balanced?
22:40 Hiking Backpacks also have to fit really well on your back. So that you can carry them for hours straight through difficult terrain.
Because of that, they are usually more expensive (and bigger so everything fits in).
So Hicking Backpacks are pretty useful to differentiate
Is the boy's table a SCP or something? Wouldn't even be that weird as far as those go.

Hey! I had a copy of that come through a thrift store I worked at!
There was also a “don’ts for husbands” of course bound in a blue cover
They were both actually full of actual stuff. One bit from “for husbands” was something like “don’t sharpen pencils over carpet, your wife won’t like it and it’ll upset the maid” or something along those lines
I didn’t have long to look at them as I was working, but I regret not buying them myself! It’d be funny to flip through both of them!
I wrote this before he showed the for husbands one lol
I don't think my eyes have ever bulged more than when I heard "don't swing twice" 💀

Lady toilet paper is a bit more softer for when they use it to wipe the... Erm... Um... Front door
well i use my back door a lot, why can't normal tp be soft as well
@@kaderen8461there's a fine line between soft and fragile. The softer the tp, the more likely it is to tear or disintegrate while wiping. That being said, this is 100% just so they can put the pink tax on some tp. Use soft tp to your hearts content.
Because that's so fragile, but buttholes are Made of steel
As someone with many girlfriends they have no issues using regular non gendered toilet paper.
I know several women who have complained about extreme itching and burning while using some of the new scented varieties of toilet paper that's now available.
0:10 are we sure this isn't a desk that was used (and stained by) a boy, and they put that as a warning?
I knew I was going to hear Damien's voice when I started it and that made me so happy.
I would agree with Damian on the glass jack o lanterns too. Since the jack o lantern depicts a character, it is sensible to have male and female presenting looking ones.
This subreddit will show a doe and a stag next to each other and claim it's pointlessly gendered.
The hair salon/barber does make sense to me, to a degree. In my country, while they may be named "Lady's Salon" and "Men's Salon" (if translated into English), it mainly refers to the hairdressers who CUT and style longer hair (usually for women) and the barbers that SHAVE hair and style beards. Normal hairdressers usually can't do fancy shaving stuff and the barbers usually can't do haircuts very well.
However, they're not gender exclusive but rather hairstyle/-length exclusive, so obviously women can go to "Men's Salons" and vice versa. It just so happens that men in my country are far more likely to have short hair that requires a razor to trim and women are far more likely to have hair long enough to require scissors for cutting.
what country
That's interesting cause here in Canada salons/hairdressers have to serve both men and women so they're required to know how to do hair of both.
Yeah, I get my hair and beard done at place called "The Men's Room" so gendered salons doesn't seem that weird to me.
Honestly I think Lexi would probably be a real funny person to cover this subreddit lol

Fun fact: When we went to the Christmas farm to grab a tree, my sister came back from the place with a big ass branch and refused to put it back. Since it fit in the trunk and she was so hellbent on keeping it, my mom let her take this unnecessarily large stick home where she stuck tinsel and sparkles all over it.
Moral of the story: Sticks are cool, everyone likes sticks in some capacity, and when an 8 year old wants a stick from a tree farm, just let me have the damn thing 💀💀
Every human likes cool sticks
It's been ingrained in our unga bunga minds from the beginning, good stick can be used to not die if something attacks you

The bike debate has a reason. Step through bikes were mainly used by women, because its easier and safer to get on it with a long skirt than with step over. Thats all. Its mostly about prefferences, but wearing a long skirt and using a step over bike is not just silly looking most of the time, but can be dangerous too
Lady toilet paper: Light, soft, patterns
Men’s toilet paper: Sandpaper
As an enby, I tried using that desk, for science, and it created a black hole in the middle of the lab
19:46 I know EzPz and Emkay are pretty similar and occasionally poke fun at each other as well as read the same posts a lot, but I didn't expect to see a screenshot of one of The Click's videos in this one.
5:57 I wonder if anyone’s told that guy that Hilter went mostly vegetarian?
Hitler also had only one ball, so... NOT a real man?
@@SekhubaraI feel like that one is not true. How would you even know that? Did you go feeling up Hitler?
@@AIHumanEquality It's common knowledge.
@@Sekhubara You know that rumors don't equal knowledge right? That isn't a proven fact. I verified that there's no evidence of it.
@@AIHumanEquality and I verified he had one ball.
Growing up in the 80's, I remember the whole bike thing. I think it came from way back where women were only supposed to wear skirts and dresses so they couldn't kick their leg over the bike. Why they kept bikes like that for men instead of just making it easier for everyone, I don't know. I got my mountain bike in the 90's and that was considered a boys bike back then so it only came in one version.
Fun fact: pink used to be the masculine color and blue used to be the feminine color
"Don'ts For wives" is presumably a product of it's time, If it's really from 1913
I spy The Click's background at 19:40 lol
having played the game in the mushroom advert; the mushroom person turns more human-looking the higher your level is. you're picking your character's appearance. idk why there isn't more customisation but i'm guessing because that isn't the focus.
11:11 I wouldn't call that a pink tax moment honestly. it seems like the mens version doesn't come with fruit, and the $4 differences seems significantly not as impactful when it's less than 10% of the price for some fruit in addition to everything else. i guess what they are saying is the classic "only women like fruit" thing so they differentiate based on that alone
I keep driving by the Tune Up salon, it always gives me that boost of *MAN* and *TESTOSTERONE* and perhaps even a lil chuckle.
The men's/women's hiking backpack difference is because they use a rigid frame. In general men and women have different proportions (shoulder/hip width, different heights, etc), there are only a few adjustments and you might be hiking with it for days. The fit is more important than a regular backpack.
This isn't true at all. Men and women can use the same packs.
A Person can hike with a men's or women's backpack, whatever they find comfortable. A men's pack frame is going to be sized for broader shoulders, and a women's pack frame for wider hips and take into account that a sternum strap would need to be more adjustable. It's important to find something that fits you personally.
It's like shoes and clothes, wear whatever you like, but generally the fit of the clothing takes different proportions into account.
@@Compgeek86agreed, it's more of a choice. Women with wider shoulders can use the men's backpacks and same for men using the women's. Its all about personal fitting.
its more about what your body type is rather than your sex, idk why theyre categorized by "man" or "woman"

7:50 The whole difference between the two bikes was one was designed for people wearing trousers, and the other was designed for people wearing skirts or dresses. If you had to swing your leg over the bike to get on, someone might be getting a look up your skirt\dress.

Know what, when you break an ankle, youll wish that you had an automatic transmission.
I have to replace the fuel pump in my truck otherwise I'd be screaming and swearing trying to drive it. Broke my ankle last Monday.
@lynneconklin917 oh. Sorry for the luck. Hope its not too bad a break and sets and heals quickly for you. And hope you can keep pain controlled. I broke mine skateboarding in my early 20s and had to drive to the er in a 66 3 speed VW Beetle. Worst clutch in history. Had to almost kick down on the pedal to shift, couldnt speed shift. I hated that car. Damn i miss it. Lol had to borrow my moms volvo wagon until i healed. Back before air boots.
@@Hugh-Man0006Thank you. going to try a short day at work next week. Boss is ok with me bringing my (late) father's rolling walker as I t has a seat I can use if it's too much. I have an 05 pt cruiser-automatic transmission- that I'm currently using as my daily driver.
Glad men have finally admitted that women deserve more pizza
10:53 my guess for the price difference is wine vs. beer. In the restaurants I’ve been in so far if they served wine it was noticeably more expensive than beer
So with the bike one, there is a historical reason why they are known as boys and girls bikes. One has a top bar which makes it sturdier resulting better weight capacity (good for heavier boys)
The ones without the top bar allow you to ride without it holding a skirt up, which was ideal for girls since it used to be they could only wear skirts and dresses in public in some areas (crossdressing laws that mostly fell appart with the world wars).
As to which is a step over and which is a step through, I don't know but I grew up with my mom's bike which was a convertable. It had a removeable top bar which allowed for it to convert between the two types.

The thumbnail I don't find pointless, they probably don't cut women's hair. We here have a pretty common idea to make your customers clear otherwise you have people you can't help, wearing you out about it.
What a load of crap. I get my hair cut at a barbers. I am female and I like a close cut that can’t be done at a Salon. I have no issue with it and neither do they so get over it.
@@sodorflubbs5000 ma'am I don't think we live in the same nation

Honestly, I like the "Tune Up" thing. I mean, considering you're a brain piloting a meat mech, thus your body is a machine, a trim and a massage isn't not a "tune up."
Also, I don't want my nostrils flooded with artifical floral stink.
I've never been to a spa or salon. I just have strong opinions on air fresheners.
At anyone that's been to a typical spa/salon, is the air generally as oversaturated with artifical floral as a smoker trying to cover up tobacco stench?
Can’t speak for spas, but the two salons I went to with my family didn’t smell floral. They smelled like hairspray, the kind that makes you cough when someone uses it. Also, the sanitizer liquid they use doesn’t smell floral. I liked being shorn, so that made it better.
As for the plastic cup, a lot of places have stopped serving in glasses if you want to go out or at events for safety
The boys desk probably has a semen catcher stuck to the bottom of it. If you don't know what that is, Whang! has a video on it.
Hiking backpacks are more for keeping the weight on your waist then back.compared to normal backpacks with only have support on your shoulders and back and not waist.
I wouldn't count the "Manly salon" as being pointlessly gendered. Hairdressing establishments have pretty much always been separated on gender lines. Yeah, there are unisex salons, but they're by far rare and hard to find
2:35 why the frack is the pickle sexualized
As a fellow ace, I wish society would quit making everything sexualized.
The "man" pickle is tapered on one end. Don't ask me how I know.
The more I get into marketing, the more i feel like its not pointlessly gendered BY corporations, its because there is a market for them. It works because BUYERS decide to buy based on that.
Imagine this wasn’t the case back then and the suddenly someone just tried to make an experiment out of one product gendered. (I wonder what it was) It must have worked and statistically still working i guess if corporations still make these distinctions (without distinct feature differences).
Also, alot of things now have distinction for reasons.
i mean…they did it with razors/shaving during the war. before that women weren’t even expected to shave at all but now there’s mens shaving stuff and womens shaving stuff
1:25 That's in German and it reads "Traumweich" = soft like a dream, "Hakle" = just the brand, "Das Toilettenpapier" = the toilet paper
I dunno why a woman would need softer loo roll than a man smh
A step through bike is/was considered a womans bike because a long skirt would catch if she had a step over bike
I mean, with how utterly obsessed with gender (cis) people seem to be these days, I can understand why that last sentence in the flute post is there. I'm the only guy I know that learnt flute and hell that's because I'm trans, so because it is an instrument that does skew towards girls/women primarily playing it, I can understand that a 'what if people think my son is a girl?' obsessive type would have that concern. it's very much a first world problem, but it's better than having people not being allowed to play an instrument they take an interest in because some nutty mother thinks that because the instrument has a primarily feminine player base, it's automatically girls-only. that being said, it is totally a wild sentence to read lol
Ummm Jethro Tull?

As an incredibly self conscious Enby, all the pointlessly gender stuff has given me extreme social anxiety.
"Awh, that's a cute dress! (I can't wear it, people will automatically think you're a girl!)"

I look feminine by nature, being assigned female at birth, so I've always attempted to look more masculine. And all of these products just make things worse for me. ._.)
I think the reason Tune Up: The Manly Salon exists is because a lot of guys don't like going to salons and this makes them want to because who doesn't want arcade games and shuffleboard.

11:05 isn't 'pink tax' they are actually different. the SheShed has fruit while the ManCave doesn't. Also they are probably different cheese, meats, and dippings cause you wouldn't pair the same things with a beer and a wine.
I think as there is no pink tax rise in price, its fine if they gender the advertisement for products. Just a stupid marketing to attract the group who seems to most often buy the object. Though I do agree with people take this way to seriously and its used way to often to raise the prices.
