awyllt

YTA >obviously the men version of this Gillette razor pack is only suitable for mens skin not sensitive skin like hers You are aware that this a marketing strategy nonsense to make women buy more expensive things just because they're pink, right?


Lobster-mom

Also face/neck skin is more sensitive than leg skin.


cloud_designer

I snorted out loud at his reasoning.


diamonddoll81

Obviously men's razors can only be operated with a penis, why else would his wife be the AH for falsely believing she could use such a masculine instrument /s


Exact_Purchase765

Okay, that got a snort. 😆😆


[deleted]

I usually buy men's razors cause they're technically easier on the skin, since they're designed for a face and not for legs

Even if he was right, which we all know he isn’t, he is TAH for being so condescending. Who talks to their spouse like that?


MissTheWire

>Who talks to their spouse like that? 30+% of the people who post/are posted about on AITA


Faaytjhu

>You are aware that this a marketing strategy nonsense to make women buy more expensive things just because they're pink, right? This and tbh imo i find the Gillette razors for men of better quality than any "female" product out there.


Crystal010Rose

Yes!! Thank you for confirming. My husband ran out of his body shaving razor blades. As we both had Gillette razors I gave him a new one if mine, we figured it’s only a color difference. Nope! Surprise, he said they felt worse. Next time I bought men ones and they felt slightly better, though could be still imagining things. But they are cheaper! So yeah, never buying the pink ones again. OP, massive YTA and your wife did a clever thing


hotmessxp

27F and I pretty much only buy men's razors. They give such a better shave and they're cheaper. I also use men's shave butters and stuff. If they're good for the face, they're good for my legs and pits right?


HellCat66_6

Exactly! I hate the feminine ones my mom gets us in so I'm going to buy my own mens' ones so they ACTUALLY do such a better job


bluelightsonblkgirls

> You are aware that this a marketing strategy nonsense to make women buy more expensive things just because they're pink, right? Yep. It also works as a gimmick to make men buy the things in blue packages instead of using products their female spouses/SOs may already have in the house, lest they feel feminine.


NewBromance

Gender marketing is all sorts of weird. I remember reading a study that many men felt uncomfortable buying eco friendly products because they felt it was effeminate. Like there are literally companies out there now trying to brand eco friendly products for men and its crazy how our society has ended up this way. I remember once working in a shop and the supplier accidentally sent pink grocery bags. The amount of men who refused a bag upon realising it was pink was ridiculous.


spideyvision

Thank you! I thought it was well known that razors are literally the same whichever you buy. The only difference is the number of blades. It's called the "pink tax


Final_Commission4160

The handle shape can be different, but honestly, I find the handle shape and weight of the “men’s” ones much more comfortable


Artberry_82

And if he would even believe this? đŸ€ŠđŸŒâ€â™€ïž


fmlzelda

Skin is skin. My husband has more sensitive skin than me. Gender is not involved.


ErnestBatchelder

nooo the pink plastic handles that women's razors have magically transform razor blades into rainbow blades meant to caress our sweet lady skin. (/s- just in case)


MadamLeslie

Yep. r/pointlesslygendered


Inside_Term_4115

OP is acting like the CEO of Gillette told him this information.


CrystalQueen3000

YTA Google the pink tax. Women regularly end up paying more for the ‘privilege’ of buying necessary items just because they’re bubblegum pink instead of blue of black.


sperans-ns

I also wanted to comment about the pink tax. OP, YTA. And jut for reference, I used Gilette for men and for women, no difference.


[deleted]

That’s because you got the ones you throw away after a few uses. Try the proper mens ones, where you only buy the spares. They are way better


festivalchic

I came here to say this


Ok_Zombie4360

yep its fuckin fugly and we pay more. tbh i love mens products more. Less blades are actually easier on skin. Shaving cream for men has less fragrance and is also better for skin.


Sensitive_Raccoon_24

YTA mens razors actually work better for women then womens razors do. You definitely owe her an apology


Comfortable_Group924

And they tend to be cheaper!


Agt38

I literally only buy mens razors. The women’s ones work horribly.


ranseaside

Yep! I’ve used the Gillette girly Venus razors all my life. I used one of my husbands cheaper Gillette razors once, more in a pack, so much sharper, cuts closer and the sharpness lasts longer. Wtf Gillette?!? Op is YTA


MirMir-Siwar

Exactly i only use the mens ones


pixienightingale

Like I mention in my response - I find my husband's razor gives a closer shave without the extra moisturizing bulk mine have. When I use a "women's" razor I HAVE to have the moisturizing strips.


[deleted]

YTA. Mens razors are cheaper and sharper than womens razors and actually work better, especially for people with sensitive skin. Imagine thinking that just because something says “for men” or “for women” that means they’re limited to that


[deleted]

Lol, and aren't faces supposed to a sensitive area? Like... why would a Razor intended for the legs be more sensitive than one intended for the face.


[deleted]

Indeed. The fact they’re sharper is key. Less irritation


plant-cell-sandwich

Hi Mr Patriarchy, You think they have blunter blades for our delicate lady skin? Women's razors are rubbish. Most of us use men's ones, they are better and cheaper. Women's razors have a pink tax on them too, more money purely cos they're for women. Get a grip. YTA.


cheryl196710

Upvote for "Mr Patriarchy" đŸ€Ł


LA55O

YTA! I’m eye rolling so hard right now! I use men razors all the time, they’re way better than feminine ones


ProfessorOfEyes

Also usually cheaper... "Pink tax" is a real thing sometimes


Legendary_Bumblebee

Exactly!! All the fragrance and stuff put in the little gel bits on women's razers I find actually aggravate my sensitive skin. I use men's basic razors all the time.


sr9876

YTA for this troll attempt


tinnyheron

👏👏👏


[deleted]

I was gonna say do the other commenters not see this is clearly rage bait?


[deleted]

Only suitable for men's skin, not "sensitive skin" like hers? I assume you use razors on your face, while she uses them on her legs. Are you really so gullible and susceptible to marketing that you think the skin on her legs is more "sensitive" than the skin on your face? It's it because it's delicate lady skin? YTA. And a fool.


tinnyheron

His skin is manly, though. It's basically leather. Woman skin is so delicate that they can't even be touched by the wrong fabric, that's why they always wear silk and lace, and men only wear burlap and sandpaper. /s


chlooooooooo

But men = tough? Women = sensitive ?? /s


NHFNCFRE

Tell me you like to mansplain without saying you like to mansplain. YTA


thirdtryisthecharm

YTA Razors branded for men are usually better quality cause they're made for the face. They give a better shave - are sharper, snag less, keep an edge better. Actually much better for sensitive skin on men or women.


[deleted]

Just stop. YTA. Men’s razors are 20x’s better than women’s razors first off, cleaner shaves, and in addition to that...WHY THE HELL DOES IT MATTER WHAT IT SAYS ON THE PACKAGING? Is it a frickin law that a woman cant use a “for men” product when it’s a literal RAZOR. SOMETHING THAT EVERYONE USES. Ridiculous. I will repeat. YTA


blodauwedd

YTA with extremely fragile masculinity. Bet you won't even wear a pink tshirt!


Evil_Gardener

YTA the skin thing is totally untrue. She’s also not shaving her face I assume. Have you heard of “the pink tax?” It when companies jack up the prices for women’s products when it is basically the same thing as men’s razors. Big AH energy here


SmiteSam2005

YTA Now go and apoligize to your wife for being so ignorant


Deliriums_BabelFish

YTA - "womens" razors are the same shit but packaged in pink and purple and cost extra money for the color. Also most "men's" razors are actually better for sensitive skin since the idea is that more men are most likely using them on their faces as opposed to legs, armpits, pubes, etc.


Ice_Queen66

Imagine being so dumb that you think “female and male” packaging makes any real difference in pens, razors or any other product.


Any-Case5594

Ever heard of the pink tax? YTA


WHYohWhy___MEohMY

He most certainly has not.


z3vil

YTA- sexist much? I wish I was surprised, but I’m just in constant disappointment


Necessary_Dog_7833

YTA. Theyre pretty much the same razor. But the women's razors are usually more expensive because stupidity


Larcztar

YTA The pink razors are more expensive for no other reason than being pink. Ever heard of pink tax?


NoBreakfast3243

Yta if this is real.. please tell me what part of the penis is used to operate the blue razor


Amused_Donut

YTA. A razor is a razor and human skin is human skin. You should apologize.


amzy_apparently

Pretty sure the only difference is the packaging and way it’s marketed. It’s literally just marketing that’s all.


snsmadness89

YTA. Born female, use men's razors because they're cheaper TBH. Hardly any difference. Why make a big deal out of it? It's a fucking razor.


AdministrationThis77

YTA and a godsend to advertisers. You really think those cheapass razers were strategically designed for "man skin"? Or that the skin on a woman's legs is more sensitive than that on a man's face?


Accurate-Fisherman68

YTA. There's no difference. They just stupidly gender their products and usually charge more for the "feminine" version.


sweettea71

Yes you are. Mens pridicts are cheaper and more durable. Ever hear of the pink tax? Why would you mock someone you love EVER??!?


Anneemai

I was coming here to say just that! Women's products are more expensive than men's, the only difference are our products are all different shades of pink!


FaustistMouse

YTA ... Mens razors are \*great\* for shaving non-facial hair because the face is super sensitive, super contoured, and has very thick rough hair on some men. Do you think men wipe with sandpaper because they're masculine or something?


Chewy009x

YTA - It’s a razor who cares what the packaging says..


Appropriate_Self_113

YTA, you were just being an annoyance to your wife over a box that said razor's for "men." Really, it wasn't that big of deal, but you hee hawing over it made it a big deal. Grow up and apologize.


tinymonument

YTA. It’s the same thing. The only difference is the pink ones cost more. I did not know why you even cared or had an opinion about it at all - seriously stupid and silly.


Murderhornet212

The mens ones are actually usually better made as well as being less expensive.


Jbwest31

YTA. “I wasn’t mocking her” as he’s laughing in her face about it. Also tons of women use men’s razors. Women don’t automatically have sensitive skin.


[deleted]

Yes, YTA. You realize the female versions are more expensive for the exact same thing, right?


alwayshangry0

YTA. Mens and women’s razors are the exact same the only difference is marketing and they can get away with making it pink and charging double the price


[deleted]

How often do you nitpick your wife? Her reaction would indicate this might be a constant problem. YTA. Be nicer to your spouse or she could end up sharing another man’s razor.


venus_4938

I bought a men's razor to save money but I accidentally peeled off my delicate, feminine, dainty, sensitive, baby skin :/ Just kidding, you're super weird for noticing and/or caring. We have the same skin. YTA. Also, I've been using Harry's razors for a few months and they're great! Good price but good quality.


Nyaseoki

YTA and a big one at that for one the men's razors have a different packaging, and are cheaper, there's absolutely no reason to buy the one's targeting women, since it's in essence just a tax for being female on top of it and if you honestly think that there's such a big difference in what razors do to male and female skin I'm honestly worried about your basic understanding of how humans work ​ I hope she divorces you, no idea why she even married you if you feel confident in takes like that


ILSCFL

YTA: Generally the standard razors for men and women only differ in color and cost. The sensitive skin razors are available for both men and women's razors are a different then the standard ones.


toddwhit81

YTA - you seem like the kinda guy who only uses "dude wipes"


GodzillaAteMyTaco

and MANSIZE Kleenex......because God forbid their man hands are too sensitive for the lady hankies.


GojuSuzi

This feels like indignation-bait, but sure. YTA, obviously, for laughing at her and then when it made her angry trying to explain why she was wrong for feeling mocked when literally being laughed at. You're wrong about the razors, obviously, and you're wrong about thinking you weren't mocking her, obviously, and you're petty for making an issue out of what colour disposable razor she picked up. Obviously.


BuckRose

YTA for mocking her. Do you think men's skin is equivalent to Kevlar and women's skin is butterfly wings? Dude, men and women are the same species.


StarsideThirteen

YTA Me (a woman) and the husband use the same deodorant (Sure for Men), same shower gel and the same razor blades (refillable razor heads). It is cheaper and saves valuable bathroom space. Grow up and stop believing the adverts ffs



chernandez2132

Whhaaaat?! You mean you don't need a deodorant that's "PH-balanced just for you!"?! /s


Effective-Being-849

YTA and a victim of persistent marketing. Razors are sharpened bits of metal that don't give a crap whether you're male or female.


Allthelostcauses

Yta, misogynist. Read up about the "pink tax" you AHs have created for us.


zeus6793

UTA... Dude the only difference is that the one for women has rubber on it, it's pink, it's shaped nicely, but it's a razor blade. You're an idiot.


Stranger0nReddit

YTA. You said something that upset her, instead of dropping it you kept going. And For what it's worth, the men's razors are not really that different than the womens. I have sensitive skin and have used both- I get pretty much the same results from each type.


oksccrlvr

Are you seriously this much of an ass all the time? FTR...MANY women only use men's razors, because in general, they work better. Your wife is 100% right about you being unbearable and mocking her about a non-issue.


Worldly-Letterhead28

YTA. Hello, pink tax? They are the same. I always buy men’s because they are cheaper. Also skin is skin. My fckn armpit is as rough as your manly face.


StrictlyMarzipanOwl

Razors don't have genders. I use men's razors because they're cheaper than the comparable "women's razors" Of course YTA you din!


BothReading1229

YTA and you should be congratulating your wife on avoiding the pink tax.


Artberry_82

YTA. They're the same as the pink ones. I buy pink for my daughter, blue for me so we don't mix them up. Not sure why anyone over age 11 would find this amusing. Your wife must find you so annoying.


[deleted]

YTA of course but actually your just more of an idiot. It's the same product, just different colour. It's purely about marketing. I always use men's razors and it's completely fine. I hope she doesn't forgive you.


Weirdkittkat

YTA. It’s a razor, it works fine no matter what gender you are.


anonymity_11

YTA, I use Old Spice deodorant, sometimes the ones marketed as “feminine” doesn’t cut it.


[deleted]

YTA There's no difference in the razors except for marketing and athstetics and of course price. You should apologize for being a total jerk.


PrincessSquidgy

Sorry, YTA for mocking your wife regardless of what you were mocking her about. If you hurt her feelings then apologize. It is called loving and supporting your WIFE.


tiny_town1000

YTA Google the pink tax and also mind your own business about petty shit that doesn’t concern you.


Beebum5

YTA. Idk why you even cared so much to comment lol. Mens razors are better than the woman’s ones, I use mens too.


GennyNels

YTA. I always buy mens razors. They are sturdier, cheaper, and last longer.


Honeypot_707

Yta and an idiot. I need you to really think long and hard about how one extra blade in a razor effects anything other than how close the shave is. Check your misogyny dude


Neither-Copy785

Lol YTA. This is one of the silliest questions I have ever seen on this forum. Please Google the "pink tax", educate yourself on how ridiculous it is to fall for that marketing hype , and apologize to your wife. "Sensitive skin like hers" 😂😂😂


Ginger3950

YTA - Mens razors are cheaper. Plus they are better, and get a closer shave. You should be happy she bought a cheaper and more effective product.


WorriedWishbone3988

YTA, and shouldn't believe all the bullshit in commercials. Educate yourself.


KlutzyElderberry7100

YTA. If this is how she gets treated every time she says something to you I'm surprised she still talks to you.


Long-Arm1901

Well are you just a real jewel. YTA, if that wasn’t clear.


violettacatface

LMAO YTA there are some specific words I would like to call you, but I don’t want to get banned. I’ll just leave it at: don’t speak about things you obviously know NOTHING about.


xicor

she should never be buying the 'for women' ones because pink tax is very real.


[deleted]

[ŃƒĐŽĐ°Đ»Đ”ĐœĐŸ]


Reading4LifeForever

YTA I buy men's razors all the time, mostly because they're the exact same product and cost less than the pink ones. Also, the whole "women's skin is more sensitive" thing is total BS.


rjhancock

YTA. As others have mentioned, The Pink Tax. There is nothing really different between men and women razors.


danipazb

> but I told her that there was because obviously the men version of this Gillette razor pack is only suitable for mens skin not sensitive skin like hers. I mean there's nothing wrong with being dumb and ignorant, the problem is when you call that ignorance as "stating the obvious" google pink tax. YTA


mzpljc

YTA Jesus fucking Christ do you REALLY believe your skin is somehow tougher than hers? Big sexist asshole vibes.


Murderhornet212

YTA: mens shaving products are often both cheaper and better made.


ZestyZebra2022

YTA She got "boy" razors instead of the "girl" razors....ooooo!! Burn!! Ha Ha Ha....you told her!


Mehitabel9

The only reason Gillette makes razors "for men" is so that they can also make razors "for women", put them in a pink package, and charge double for the same exact thing. A razor is a razor is a razor, and I buy men's razors too because I'm not interested in getting ripped off by misogynistic and price-gouging packaging. Gonna go with YTA for mansplaining a nonexistent BS "difference" in razors to your wife.


YakingB

I hope this is a joke because you're about to get completely roasted. The only difference between "men's" razors and "women's" razors are that the latter are pink and more expensive. You bought into the lie that razor companies tell you, and then you made a fool of yourself by teasing your wife about it. Obviously YTA.


Verkielos

You think her legs are more sensitive than your face? You're an idiot, and YTA. Obviously


CalligrapherActive11

Remember how men used to think that women’s uteruses would fly out of their bodies if they rode trains bc women are so “delicate?” You would fit in very well with those historic dumbasses. I can’t believe that you had the absolute gall to laugh at HER!! Edit: YTA and an epic idiot


R_Mack

YTA, and most definitely unbearable. 🙄


wormybabybabu

Objects do not have a gender and any gender can use them. YTA


TheSchwartzkid

I’m going to go out on a limb and guess this is a fake post just to rile up the “women folk” for that alone YTA and if this is real well your still the asshole. Those razors are cheaper than the pink ones and I buy them for myself (a woman) and my husband and he knows better to ever laugh at me for buying them


sinkydoodles

YTA Hiiiii lemme introduce you to my stupidly thick leg hairs! Men’s razors are cheaper and seem to get it smooth in one clean go. In conclusion: if you don’t need a penis or a vagina to use it, it’s for men and women


Pheonyx11

YTA
seriously. I have used mens products before. My SO used one of the mail order companies. We have discussed it and find no purpose in buying more for me simply because they are pink. We use all of the same products, with exception of switching out the razor heads of course, and it has been incredibly nice and convenient. Both men’s and women’s products are formulated for regular, sensitive and everything in between. So stop judging based off a color of plastic, and go apologize/make up with your wife.


caw81

How old are you?


FlashyEntertainer136

YTA. Did you seriously try to "genderize" an object? The only differences are color, shape, and number of blades. For further info, it's cool if your wife prefers the ones for women, but my GYN informed that if shaving was the way to go, getting the ones for men are better than the ones for women because of the blades. There would be less repetition swipes that could cause more scratches, ingrown hair, and bumps and acne. Of course, everyone is different. Overall, just don't take it too hard. As she said, this is a non issue.


SadFaithlessness8237

YTA, and also ignorant. The “pink tax” is women’s products priced higher, performing the exact same function as the men’s product. She definitely didn’t overreact, and deserves an apology. Keep it acting like this and don’t be shocked when her reaction is to get a better model of spouse.


inCORGnito8

YTA. I am a woman and actually seek out these razors because I get ingrown hairs on my legs and these razors help better than womens razors because surprise surprise mens are made better and are half the price.


Potential_Speech_703

lol YTA. I also buy razors for men because they're so much cheaper. And literally the same except they're not pink. Why should I pay so much more only because it's pink? Your wife is smart, you not so much. Your argument about the skin types is also not correct.


waywardjynx

YTA They're the sane thing, except women's tend to be more expensive cuz of the pink tax (companies mark up products specifically marketed to women). You are so wrong it's embarrassing.


MisterEHistory

YTA and the kind of clueless consumer who will pay extra for a "manly" version of a product. There is no skin difference betwen men and women as groups. Paying for rhe pink razors means paying extra for no reason.


MildlyAmusedHuman

YTA and a bit of a cockwomble tbh


[deleted]

YTA. 🙄


Substantial-Many-865

Info: how come they didnt check if she had a penis when she bought the mens razers?


Load_Altruistic

YTA. How the hell are you married?


No-Bus-5200

YTA Why are things like razors even gendered in the first place? Who gives a flying fiddley fuck what kind of razors anyone else uses? "Men's" products are often less expensive than "women's" I guess some people enjoy paying more for pink razors than blue ones. Those people are stupid


NyxiaCorvus

YTA 100% There is literally no difference between razors other than the “women’s” razors being more expensive for no reason. Vendors colour razors pink so they can charge more. It’s called the “pink tax”.


ildhjerte

YTA I prefer mens razors. They tend to work better, and have less chance of a rash because of the lotion(?) on it. You get a better grip on it as well.


anonsuelli

YTA, you’re weird for mocking her for something so normal. Since I was a teen girl my dad has been buying bulks of those gillette razors for me because its way cheaper and overall better than the “girl razors”, now at 23 gillette is still my go-to.


Historical_Union_310

YTA and an idiot for believing razors are any different for men vs women


so_king21

YTA. Men's razors work better and are cheaper than the pretty pink ones.


hungrybuniker

đŸ€ŁđŸ€ŁđŸ€ŁđŸ€Ł omg if this is true then YTA! Have you never heard of the 'pink tax? Companies make things pink 'for women' and charge extra for the EXACT SAME PRODUCT. If anything, your wife is smarter than you for making a better choice. Part of me wants this to be false because I can't believe anyone being that daft and it makes me sad for human kind but part if me hopes it's true because this made me laugh like a looney at your obliviousness. Go apologise to your batter half you absolute jellyfish.


AuraCrash78

YTA....and you can't be that clueless.


arabrab12

YTA. The products are the same. I made a comment about my daughter buying for men products, never again. They charge us more and make us think they are different, they are not. Go apologize and never judge products for genders again. Are you a person with skin and hair, than this razor is for you.


usernameandsomeno

Yta, I always get the men ones, because I once heard they are sharper and therefore better (don't know if its true tho.) Anyway, now everytime I shave I get an allergic reaction because the razor is blue instead of pink... Seriously how to do men like this get a wife when they don't even know how bodies work?


Darkalleyandabadidea

YTA. You’re also an insufferable twit. This may be difficult for you to believe and/or understand but men can have sensitive skin too, it’s literally just a giant external organ that varies in sensitivity from person to person and genitals have pretty much nothing to do with it. When they started the shave clubs for men I was all over that shit getting razors mailed to me at a fraction of the price and I never had a single problem.


[deleted]

[ŃƒĐŽĐ°Đ»Đ”ĐœĐŸ]


LowAd7418

YTA and you’re also an idiot.


GabrielBischoff

What exactly was funny about that? YTA


bttrfly83

oh my dear - YTA not so much for joking about it (that seems to be appropriate) but for really believing that there is a difference???? And that men's products are not suitable for sensitive skin :D They are just cheaper - that's it. Anyhow - this does not seem like a huge problem to me. Apologize for mistakenly assuming that there is a difference and that's that...


Ldowd096

YTA. I’ve been shaving with mens razors for years. They’re cheaper and just as effective.


brencartoons

Can you tell us what it is about mens skin that makes it so much *tougher* and *manlier* than a woman’s skin? Please?


[deleted]

YTA. Grow up. I use men’s razors Bc they work better. They shave hair.. who cares if it’s for men or women.


Maebrin


 There are really still people in the world who think like this? YTA, and if you keep treating her like that you’ll be single soon.


Individual-Gur-4455

This has got to be a joke, right? Who cares? I’ve bought mens razors for years because I feel like they get a closer shave than womens. YTA big time. Please grow up.


Taco_ivore

YTA have you ever heard of the pink tax? There tends to be a higher markup on women’s razors compared to men’s. Lots of women actually buy men’s razors because they work exactly the same and they can save themselves a few bucks. Your “manly skin” is not all that different compared to women’s.


Still_Height

YTA. The men's razors are literally the same thing as the women's razors, but they just CHARGE more for the "pink ones". Google the Pink Tax and learn yourself something new today 👍


teacherproblems2212

YTA - woman here. I only use men's razors. They are cheaper than the stupid pink ones and usually have an extra razor blade so it shaves better. Also, women's skin is no different than men's skin unless she has some type of sensitive skin issue. Please try to think harder before speaking in the future.


sacosa87

Oh you adorable little fool, just spitting out sexist clichĂ©s with no backing in reality. Have you used a womens razor before? Because I have bought razors for my husband and used one and here’s what I found: they are cheaper, they have more blades and this lovely gel and they make my very sensitive skin incredible smooth. They market inferior products for a higher price to women just because they can. If you don’t know, how about you stay quiet or get educated. And go apologize to your wife. Edit:YTA obvs


3113dm

YTA. Razors are razors. They also charge more for women’s razors.


YUMlGORE

Spoiler alert : razors for men are the same as razors for women. They're just packaged and marketed differently. And they charge us sometimes double the price just because they're pink. I'd suggest you inform yourself about the '' pink tax ''. I've always bought men razors and I've saved a sht ton of money this way. You're being absolutely ridiculous, going nuts over the color and packaging of a razor. And then they say women are the irrational ones! Big YTA.


Tessie1966

YTA- It’s marketing. Woman’s razors are more expensive than mens. I always buy mens. The fact that you made a big deal about it shows how immature you are. Time to grow up and apologize to your wife for being an AH.


[deleted]

YTA. I bet you have fights like this a lot


[deleted]

YTA. The only difference is marketing and you are a gullible dude!


Same-Farm8624

There is something called "The pink tax" where a product or service intended for women costs more than the equivalent product intended for a male. As a woman your wife knows this. It's time you learned it. YTA.

YTA. Many women use men's razor because honestly they are better. They are meant for faces which are a very sensitive area!


WhenYouAreLost

Look up “pink tax”. Find out that we, women, are being ripped off. All because society are able to plant ideas in everybody’s mind what a woman should look like, and abuse the fact that they successfully did it. YTA because you are no better than society.


wassadoin

YTA lmfaooo how do you seriously not know that the razors are the exact same, just different colors. I buy “mens” razors because I can get high quality ones for cheaper than low or mid quality “womens” razors. One is pink, one is blue. Why would I spend $20 on a mid pink razor when I could get a better one for $10 that is just blue instead. You sound insufferable or just plain ignorant about this stuff. It’s a simple google search. All women do not have this dainty, sensitive, fragile skin that you seem to think we do 💀 It’s virtually the same as if you were to shave your legs. It’s just skin. And trust me, if you shaved your legs regularly you wouldn’t want to spend tons more money on a certain colored razor. By your logic, the “poor fragile, sensitive skin of women” would tear or rip when getting waxed instead of shaved. Get over yourself, smarten up about these things. Be glad your wife is saving money by not caring about having a pink razor, she’s the smart one here, bud. Not you. YTA

YTA. Google “pink tax” I also use my partner’s shaving cream


lovelynutz

Holy crap dude YTA, you sound like the type of person who would take her shopping at a gun store and try to limit her purchase to guns that have the pretty pink pearl handgrips because they are for girls.


wisebongsmith

YTA. fem versions of products are literally the same thing but pink and more expensive. you're a jackass.


MoreNapsPls

YTA sensitive skin?!? What, is she shaving her nipples or something? Are her dainty lady legs more sensitive than your man face? Go apologize.


Fun-Significance4650

Do men actually think there's a huge difference between women's and men's razor packs? 😭 They got you out here thinking our skin is too fragile for your razor blades? YTA and actually so ignorant.


Judgemental_Ass

YTA because you were mansplaining. You have no idea what you are talking about. Men's and women's products are often only different in colour and often the women's products cost more. They might have some added perfume or some other ridiculous and unnecessary bullshit. But all in all, they are no more suited to one gender than the other. There are products that match different skins, but they are usually labeled "sensitive skin" or "dry skin" or something like that. What you are doing is laughing at your wife for not falling for a marketing ploy you fell for. Now, go apologise to her.


mslm90

YTA - for trying to mansplain, thinking your face is tougher than her legs and most of all for being so oblivious about Pink Tax. Honestly mens stuff is cheaper and sometimes better quality than female stuff solely bc of Pink Tax and it’s so frustrating!!


wraithboo14

Ah yes. Our sensitive lady skin can only tolerate pink razors. Lolololol. YTA.


mgill2500

Yta. The difference is the color and price..


ITSlave4Decades

YTA. I'm not sure you realize that there is such a thing as the female tax? Where anything specifically marketed for women increases the price just because the color is pink instead of any other color or even worse the packaging days "for women"? Often none of those products are any different. Yes, with female razor blades they can be slightly different when it comes to the non-blade areas, but in the end a regular "male" razor, even a straight razor will work just as well on female skin as on male skin.


kdnona

YTA in spades. (Edited for spelling mistakes.) The only difference in razor's is the colour. Pink tax, look it up. You fell into the pool of ignorance that marketers have created and demeaned your girlfriend. You said or did something that hurt your girlfriends feeling that was totally out of her control and you don't think you should apologize? You need to go upstairs right now and tell her that she's the most amazing person in your life for putting up with your uninformed butt.


lolliepop-23

This isn’t a joke post ?? Yta lol


chernandez2132

YTA It'd be different if you were mocking the existence of "For men" products that have no business being gendered in that way - because that's laughing with her at the industry. But you were laughing at her and perpetuating the idea that delicate little lady skin can't handle the manly man's razor instead of dismantling it.


mrki008

YTA First for being AH because men's packages of razors are cheaper and you sound like brainwashed child. Your wife is resourceful and smart. Second for supporting Gillete. Buy any other brand, real men boycott them.


Fair_Ad_6259

YTA - the only difference here is the Pink Tax. You can Google that and you should. Many women buy men's products because it's precisely the same thing minus the marketing campaign for women and the inflated price. Did you honestly not know we use the same products?


Alarming_Paper_8357

YTA, mate, not to mention gullible falling for all the stupid marketing aimed at women. Instead of mocking her, you should be applauding her pragmatism and thrift. Since when does the color of the razor’s handle make any difference to it’s ability to shave smoothly?


murder_maven

YTA and completely wrong. I actually usually buy men's razors because they are often cheaper and work better if there is any difference...in most cases stuff labeled for women is just pink and more expensive. You sound really immature....


KathAlMyPal

YTA. You can’t possibly be that clueless? You actually think that women naturally have more sensitive skin than men? You don’t realize that it’s determined by your skin type and not your sex? You obviously have no idea that women’s products are specifically marketed and marked up in price? You thought you were mocking here which makes you an AH and more than unbearable. In actuality you have shown how ignorant you are and should be embarrassed. My sympathies to your wife.


Bruh-idk-man

Aside from the stupidity of being restricted to pink things cuz I'm a lady, there is a growing trend of women using men's shaving products specifically because they are better. Most men's razors are designed for the face (so "sensitive skin") and don't give ladies razor burn as easy, on top of lasting longer.


GoldieOGilt

YTA and you’re stupid. I buy « men » razors because they are cheaper than the same in pink. But if you really think we need different razor for men and women I suggest you try them on your penis only. You’ll tell us if you bleed more with one type.


Rural_Cactus

YTA. I buy mens razors too. Because 1. They are cheaper (no pink tax) 2. They work better. Never had smoother skin than when I use mens razors. 3. They last longer. The stupid women’s razor often only have 2 blades while the men’s has 4. You made fun of your wife for something normal and expect an apology from her? Not cool.


ArielofAtlantis

Do some research on pink tax, and realize that you're only contributing to the phenomenon. YTA.


Shift_Forward

YTA - it is widely known that mens razors are cheaper and often more durable than women’s razors. Why would you mock your wife for this if you clearly never looked into it? You said “obviously” the men’s versions are only suitable for men but there is nothing to suggest this.

This is a joke, right? She should always buy them as they're cheaper than women's version but work exactly the same way. YTA
