A few months ago, we were at a supermarket with my mom, buying some stuff.

My mom needed an antiperspirant. When she was about to grab a black one, I heard a guy "helpfully" telling her that she was grabbing one "For Men™", that the ones "For Women™" were the pink ones.

I immediately looked at the guy like "lol what, who asked".

(My mom uses "men's" antiperspirants because she doesn't care about that, and they are usually cheaper than "women's")

Screenshot of a Twitter post from user Ron Iver (ronnui_ with an underscore at the end) as viewed through a Nitter instance. The post says: Women get to smell like real things (vanilla, lavender) but men have to smell like concepts. What the fuck is "cool sport rush"?

I'm male but I use women's/gender-neutral deodorant and hygiene products because men's tend to be more chemically and smell like dudes in the locker room who stand too close to you. They also dry my skin out.

Like, why are all the good hygiene products marketed towards women? Of course men's are cheaper, because they're shit.

I like herbal scents and use the Arm & Hammer deodorant.

    To your point, womens razors are way better for shaving your balls (if that's your cup of tea). Mens razors are like taking a dagger to your nutsack in comparison.

    You may enjoy Versace Eros, very pleasant herbal opening.

    I only use straight razors to shave my balls. /jk

    That's interesting. I don't usually use designer brands, but I looked it up and Dossier makes an off-brand dupe. I wonder how accurate it is.

    Top: Mint, Green Apple, Lemon

    Middle: Geranium, Cedarwood, Vetiver

    Base: Vanilla, Amber, Tonka bean

    It looks like it's only missing the oakmoss. And it substitutes amber for ambergris, and switches a couple middle and base notes.

    Seems nice though, I like the middle and base notes. Mint and lemon aren't really my cup of tea though. If it was sage and bergamot I'd be all about it!
