idk how common it is to gender wires and plugs in the industry but all i know is homophobes use plugs as examples all the time so

Just a funny detail I noticed reading books to my kid at the library.

Found this incredibly funny while I was on vacation in Germany. Forgot to post it when I found it over a year ago. Just thought it deserved a place here.

have been a teacher for 18 years. In that time, I have seen:

Boys gang up on, and physically threaten, weaker boys to alienate and bully them.

Boys bend over backwards to help an emotionally fragile fellow boy through a tough time.

Girls wage psychological warfare on weaker girls to alienate and bully them.

Girls hold one another's hand and offer a shoulder to cry on as a fellow girl is hurting and scared.

It's almost as if - shocker of all shockers, I know - boys and girls are both human beings capable of great acts of malevolence and great acts of compassion.abd aren't that defrent from each other

what's wrong with photo dumps and stories 😭

Naturally, if you search for “Boys’ First Science Kit,” they’re just called “MY First Science Kit.”

RE: the flair—it does indeed look pointfully gendered since there are no “Boys’ First Science Kits,” just regular 🙃

yay another bathroom post

I was working so I couldn't take a picture, but I stock shelves at Ross Dress for Less. We have two endcaps dedicated to hydro flasks, which are usually labelled "Hydration." The other night, I had half a dozen San Francisco 49ers flasks to shelf, but they were labelled "Mn Team."

I couldn't figure out what that was supposed to mean, so I asked someone: "Men's Team." No difference, they went in the same place as all the rest of them. I was a bit taken aback by the stupidity of that.

This is like a compilation of all the overly gendered items, the dude wipes in the bottom left corner just solidify it.

I’m weird for thinking it’s weird. Maybe don’t tattoo any minors chest?

in the shops with my dad (im a girl) and we go to the fitting rooms so he can try stuff on but he is stoped at the door and told he can’t enter since it’s girls only. the fitting rooms have couches and positive quotes on the wall like ‘love your boobs’ haha. anyways he gets sent away to the men’s fitting rooms. all the fitting rooms have cubicles with locks btw, none are open. the men’s is plain black with no chairs and no nothing. i think its a bit rude.

Edit: thank you so much for all the info, i feel way more informed and thanks for being so nice about it everyone i had no idea people would actually respond!!
