What is unnecessary gendered? (self.askbeehaw)

I was watching pro golf coverage on the news and it seems so odd that men and women compete separately - same goes with pro bowling. Just seems weird to me that a game of skill is gendered when you can't even raise an argument that someone might have an advantage because of what's between their legs.

I make scented candles, lotions and things such as and one of the things that has always been interesting to me is the way that, when marketed toward men, scented things are almost never named after what they smell like. the same lotion marketed to women as "almond, pear and ginger" will be marketed to men as "carbon fiber testicles" or "working on cars while drunk and making racist jokes" some other ridiculously masculine thing

NGL, I'd burn a carbon fibre testicles candle.
