AlisLandale 07/11/18 8:51:47 PM #6:	IdiotMachine posted... But shit like Dove's "Men's Shampoo" is fine? I usually see "for men" used by brands with an existing gender bias. Dove bodywash is usually marketed towards women. Men can use it and nobody will even notice or care, but they're more worried abour moving product. Pens are usually gendered at all to begin with, so its weird to suddenly try to market them as such. --- Sigs are for losers <cite>AlisLandale posted [p:904913657] in Why did Bi...
