Yeah, this would probably be better with a bit of a wording change (like “how deodorant is sold to women/how deodorant is sold to men”).
I mean, there’s definitely a real phenomenon at play here, but I think it has more to do with how the system indoctrinates us than any real, actual preferences.
Yeah, I prefer the more “feminine” smells from Old Spice. I’ve never been a fan of pungent chemical almost cologne smells in general. I really love that they did that because things aren’t that black and white. I’d try a scent and almost gag from it.
I have the opposite. I dislike the excessive fruity smells of feminine deodorant. Plus, I don’t nearly sweat as much as man and so I only need a little bit of men’s deodorant. That can lasts for ages!
I’m going to be honest I don’t care what the scent is when you’re in a relationship you grow fond of that. I had a girlfriend that smelled like cologne probably because she smoked and was still 17. I grew fond of that smell despite not caring for it much initially.
It kinda just doesn’t matter what other people think because if they care and spend enough time with you they’ll probably start missing it when you’re gone.
gender binary reinforcement memes suck just as much as other ways of reinforcing the gender binary

Just going off of the point [email protected] made.

That’s actually wholesome. Thanks for sharing!
well deodorants are actually for smells that the opposite sex generally likes more, not the wearer
I’m not that vain but I wouldn’t be surprised if that was the thought process. I don’t care what anyone smells like as long as it’s inoffensive.
Yeah I agree, not really a fan of them.
