A few months ago, we were at a supermarket with my mom, buying some stuff.
My mom needed an antiperspirant. When she was about to grab a black one, I heard a guy “helpfully” telling her that she was grabbing one “For Men™”, that the ones “For Women™” were the pink ones.
I immediately looked at the guy like “lol what, who asked”.
(My mom uses “men’s” antiperspirants because she doesn’t care about that, and they are usually cheaper than “women’s”)
That’s like saying “Nobody is stopping men from wearing dresses”. You probably won’t get arrested for it, but there are definitely social pressures that strongly discourage it.
Nah, you could walk around smelling like vanilla or citrus and still smell masculine.
