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"?

As a woman, woody scents are awesome. Honestly I find it really silly how we've managed to gender entire categories of scent like this. Like, hormonal sex absolutely does wildly change our scent, but not in a way that makes flowery scents mix poorly with man stink or woody scents with woman stink. Hell, I personally love the mix of a musky woody scent and woman stink. And a man oughta be able to feel confident smelling like a bouquet if he wants.

Believe me, as a gay man, I am confident with the bouquet smell.

I hate the fact that most (but not all fragrances) are shoehorned into male/female categories Its a smell! It doesn't have genitalia, if you love it wear it And as a fragrance nerd I have a lot of supposedly 'masculine' scents full of woods, spices, booze etc A (male) truck driver mentioned that he loved wearing Chanel no5 on one of the fragrance sites which I think is fantastic! A man comfortable with himself and wearing what he loves
