Products That Are Pointlessly Gendered

Q-Tips: Men’s Ultimate Multi-Tool

We really didn’t see this one coming. Q-Tips?! The product that is literally for everyone who has ears. This packaging really takes it over the top as it has the tagline of “men’s ultimate multi-tool” with a silver diamond garage tile background. Surely men are capable of being more than just mechanics or carpenters? Everyone needs to clean their ears at some point and Q-tips is truly a needlessly gendered product. Even veterinarians use Q-tips on various species of animals like cleaning a dog’s ears, for instance. We wonder what the brand would come up with if they were marketing a female version of the product?
