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?

My daughters are 3 and 5, and I'm already feeling the struggle. It takes about 3 hours in the mall just to get the basics done. I can't imagine what it will be like in 10 years, lol.

And trust me, Target in the U.S. is a breeze to navigate thanks to the amazing Target app and well organized aisles, especially compared to the chaos we have in totally disorganized supermarkets in Canada with employees who have no idea where anything is.
