    I mean that is great and obvious and all but it is completely the case that they are women’s products. They are on all the boxes, ads and testimonials. In the women’s aisle.

      You have two separate aisles for men’s and women’s shampoo? Do you live in Saudi Arabia? In the rest of the world they’re right next to each other.

        In Germany (dm), they have a separate isle for men‘s products, and „normal“ (less gendered) products everywhere else. Kinda weird.

          DM is notoriously weird in how they place products to begin with :D

          Good prices though!

        What a weird generalization to make. Maybe you’re referring to grocery stores, that have a small selection of beauty/health products.

        My local Target here in the US (CA) was recently renovated to expand the body care section of the store, and now has two large distinct sections that obviously cater to specific genders:

        The men’s section (deodorant, hair care, face wash, shaving supplies, etc.) is set apart by “wood” flooring, dark wooden display tables, and a kind of minimalist atmosphere. Several aisles away, the women’s section (hair care, makeup, face wash, nail care, etc.) is bright and colorful and chock-full of product signage.

          Lol I just checked target. You’re right. I guess I never get the “men’s shampoo”, mainly because it’s low quality with a crappy “wood” fragrance. Of course women’s deodorant is a rip-off too. Better to just look up the brand you like.

        Yeah we have an aisle with typically male hygiene and beauty products and another with typically female products.

        Very sorry that your weird world view doesnt correspond to reality.
