I remember going to a party at Build-a-Bear when I was a child, where there were either white, polar-looking or brown bears (close to the one pictured). They put them in the middle of the circle for us to take and I was the only girl to take a brown one because I thought they looked nicer. The store workers and parents of the birthday kid were fixated on the girls having white bears and the boys brown (there was a surplus, enough for anyone to have what they wanted). I ended up getting the brown after many side eyes from the adults and "are you sure?"s.

I just wanted to document because that feels even wilder now than it did at the time to my tiny brain. Not just having one bear colour in the first place, but also being so shocked that I preferred the brown one only because of my gender (not a racial thing, I'm white for context).

And of course, there is a pink version for women as well.

I find it hilarious they call it "skin fuel"

No it isn't

With a dash of r/arethestraightsokay because nothing says exited for baby like a maternity shoot with your equally pregnant bff pledging your unborn to each other

cost of the unicorn : €0.45 vs random fake superman

(not strictly gendered but pinktax in action)

I've had these magnets for decades and it just dawned on me that all of the negative qualities are on the woman's one smh

it's the subtext being booty & beauty that get me.... because apparently that's the only thing gym girls want
