Wouldn't make a difference to me. I don't pick clothes based on what gender the manufacturer had in mind.

They are just removing the labels. It'll be the same clothes.

The types of clothes men and women have changed many times throughout the ages. Boys used to wear dresses as recently as the 19th and early 20th centuries, pink was a 'boy colour', and blue was a 'girl colour', all that changed over time through marketing and changes in popular culture etc. There's nothing biological about the clothes we wear. Sure, I don't understand the trans gendered phenomenon, but the paranoia around gender on the internet is hilarious.

There isn't anything biological about most clothes perhaps, but boxers with dickholes in em would be a weird thing to wear if you didn't have a penis.

But yeah other than that, as far as the styles/colors/materials etc go I agree that there isn't a need to assign a gender to them.

What is interesting to me is how much this matters to other people. Just the feeling that their identity is somehow being reaffirmed or the feeling that the product had them in mind is important. Lots of research shows that just adding "for men" or "for women" on a product, even if you don't change much else about the product, allows you to charge quite a bit more for it.

And that goes way beyond cothing. Some of this schit that is gendered is utterly laughable:



Ain't no way anyone is convincing me that there is a biological anchoring for what makes a 'man tea' or a 'woman tea'.
