I just spent an hour in target buying things for my daughter’s freshman dorm. The dichotomy between the I-don’t-even-know-what-to-call-it-section - toiletries, self care, personal hygiene, whatever- for girls vs boys is totally freaking me out. It’s a 12:1 aisle ratio. Twelve aisles of skin care, hair care, makeup, and more, marketed to girls, to a single aisle marketed to guys. What is happening? I’m counting the cumulative time girls are wasting choosing products. Someone tell me I’m wrong to be depressed?

women drive 80% of consumer spending and are largely responsible for managing every day household purchases women are pressured by society to augment, enhance, or alter how they naturally look much more than men in fact, men are actively discouraged from pursuing skin or hair care and makeup as that’s still seen as too feminine or gay for men to care about there’s the reason for the 12:1 ratio 🥲
