When even our earplugs are gendered, you know there's a problem.

It's funny, but before my recent trip to Target, I always thought people all used earplugs for the same purpose and needed to know generally the same things about the product they were buying. Silly me for thinking men might need to be anything but super-ultra-strong even while asleep, or that women might sleep for purposes of staying healthy, and not to make sure they look as beautiful as possible while awake. The more you know, I guess.

    I find myself thinking this when I see hygiene products and their ads as well. Deodorant, soap, toothbrushes, etc, really don't seem like they need to be split into "for men" and "for women."
