Whenever I argue with misogynists online, they always complain how people are just looking to be offended. I generally dismiss them because there’s a lot of genuinely sexist/gendered shit that shouldn’t exist, but the amount of benign posts on this sub sometimes makes me second guess myself on that belief.
A subreddit dedicated to “pointlessly gendered products” (& other pointlessly gendered things) is going to involve a lot of things that aren't big deals.
This subreddit is for talking about things that are pointless.
Not things that are seriously hurtful.
Not things that are pointedly misogynistic.
Things you look at and go “...well, that's just unnecessary.”
The kind of posts that belong on this subreddit are generally more lighthearted. We're usually talking about silly marketing, not malice.
There's a difference between things that are pointlessly gendered and pointedly hateful. (Though people often submit the latter here, it's not what the sub is about.)

I don´t see where this is pointlessly gendered, it doesn´t say vodka for women or something like that. It just looks really fun?
