Apparently men need their own car air freshener now?

Asking for products to ignore a data-proven, demographic-specific preference in its marketing is counter-intuitive. I can see an argument in favour of less agressive specific marketing in some way, but to completely ignore it is to just make it harder for most to find what they want.
I'm not asking them to ignore it at all. It's their function to move units off the shelves, not to correct societal gender norms.
That said I do appreciate initiatives to "degenderify" branding like with modern retail toys sections, and I, of course, don't like to see the opposite happen, such as the genderification of toothpaste or fresheners.

I completely agree when it comes to toys. But pakaged scented products are trickier as the selling point is not immediately accessible to consumers and asking for a full aisle smell test on dozens of pocket change products aint gonna happen.
Nah.
ITT:
The only people who buy gender marketed products are insecure and are stunted emotionally.
I wear men's deodorant, does that mean I'm insecure and stunted emotionally? I mean, it's marketed towards men.
According to the majority of posters in this thread; yes.
The more you know.
Is anyone else getting way too many fucking Manscaped (or whatever the fuck they are called) add on youtube and whatnot?
All of this stuff is obnoxious.

I like that this forum exists so we can all come into a thread about air fresheners for men and argue like men.
*brushes my hair forward inconspicuously* In all seriousness, what you are saying is right
Don't forget your special toothpaste and manly tissues
Toothpaste for men? Lmao!

This is a little different because the "coffee" has herbs in it that increase penile blood flow.
Did you buy it because you thought car freshener was for girls and softbois until you saw one made for MEN or did you buy it because you liked it?all the "men" bullshit aside, i think that air freshener actually looks pretty nice. i use this thing from bath and body works
theres a bunch of blinged out ones too but this is the one i chose. so i guess that makes me insecure about my masculinity?
I've got some axe bodywash at home, It was a gift and I use it when I run out of my Nivea FOR MEN (I'm serious) bodywash, so I too have some men-branded stuff I've bought before. The difference is me and (I'm pretty sure)you aren't the type to refuse to use baby wipes unless it's the exact same unscented wipe but in a BLACK BOX FOR MEN ONLY
My Shampoo however is gender neutral and has a net Man Point value of 0
