Would you be peeved if you paid more because of your gender?

This is technically a breach of the Equality Act 2010 to price things differently because of gender. If the product is the exact same product but has different colouring then it is illegal. if the design is at least 20% different then it could fall to Copyright Law and be classed a sub-class of the same product. If anybody were to test this in a court of law it would test the Equality Act and also set a precedent that prevents greedy pig retailers from pinching extra pennies based on whether a person is born male or female.

You bet I would be angry ! Although to many I am classed as “not PC ” I am and always have been a supporter of REAL equality that means men and women treated equally in all aspects of life . But PC is not about real equality its about superiority , men are “put down ” in adverts continually . A recent yougov poll showed that among young men only 2 % of English men thought they were masculine, many were confused as to their gender . This isnt a natural phenomenon but a socially applied high pressure / intense “programming ” of male children from the cradle onwards while females become more masculine . This might be what BB wants and the new Western ” philosophy ” but I am glad I am un -reconstructed . What I find in real life as apposed to this feminist dream is that many women despise weak men and are attracted to strong masculine types who make better potential for producing strong babies and ,even in 2016 , will be a protector of them and their children . As a social type person having talked to 1000,s of women while at the “dancing ” and during 19 years of visits to their homes to fix equipment you had the domineering women and the more meeker variety , the same applied to men . Trying to group people into one mold doesnt work it causes psychological damage as , when you check the statistics in male deaths by suicide , its young men well to the forefront in this regard, females have more of a self preserving instinct because they carry babies to be born into this world . Would men buy feminine perfume ? feminine razors ? and dress and act continually as females ? I am talking the 92 % majority here . But this is where society is heading . people might not like me saying this , but I would like to debate this subject in a calm manner.

“Take pink camouflage – surely the fact that it’s pink completely defeats its purpose of blending in, unless you’re in a field of roses?”

I am afraid you are showing your US roots as in the UK it is perfectly acceptable when hiding in blancmange which very often is pink. : )

It never occurs to me to search for male toiletries or to price them so this comes as a big surprise to me. As I am naturally hypersensitive to highly perfumed products anyway I usually go for ones that are hypoallergenic and unperfumed in the women’s sector.

Gender difference is not on my list of high priorities but I do recognise they do exist and respect them. Ideally any male or female who can identify with and be in touch with their own opposite gender is preferable. To denigrate members of the opposite sex can often be attributed to a bad relationship or experience with either a male or female member of ones own family or a partner, (the latter often can be traced back to the former), or gender envy. Problems arise when the Alfa male or the over domineering female equivalent passes derisory remarks to their fellow mates in an attempt to try to boost their own ego which can lead to some of the problems expressed by Duncan.

As previously posted, alleged or supposed weakness can often be a sign of strength and no strong person whatever their gender will allow their subconscious to be influenced by a manufacturers sales patter, promoting unrealistic images that promise far fetched and starry eyed rewards and payoffs who are, to some extent, responsible for the high suicide rate amongst young males who may have already been subjected to ridicule or derision in their past private lives.
