Thanks for watching! 💛 What was THE MOST pointlessly gendered thing in this video?!
I was wondering if you had any advice for people strugling with sexuality bc im enby but ive never had any attraction to anyone but girls.
IKD if u will see this but if u do HELP
Might not be in the video but Pens. You should read the reviews on the bic pens for her though on amazon. So funny 😆
The fact that people think “women’s” (which excludes many women across the spectrum) minds and decision making is complicated have not met enough people in life. People are complicated PERIODT
Bathrooms
The colours, definitely. Numero uno: I'm an artist, so I knew many of them. If my male tutors didn't know these names I'd be concerned. But also, 6:11 My dumbass thought this was about the colour names the different genders are allowed to have. Got really confused when I saw that Eggplant was an option.Yes, some women are named Eggplant. OF course.
I'm honestly baffled that the stereotype is women are obsessed with shoes. Have you seen those guys who buy $500 pairs of designer shoes and treat them like they're made of gold?
And somehow they have like 10 of them.
Tbh I have seen more men being obsessed with shoes than women.
Yeah, fr, humans in general like shoes and clothes
Lol tru, i know some men who buy Jordans or Yeezys and would rather walk barefoot into the rain than get them wet. Gendering our approach to shoes is just so weird.
@@xTetraMuffinsx I've actually done that I ain't getting my good shoe's wet
Honestly, I can see straight dudes freaking out over those chairs. "Sitting on the guy chair is like sitting on a guys lap and that's gay, but sitting on the girl one is like sitting on the girls lap, but girls are supposed to be on guys laps so that's submissive and thus also gay!" *has existantial crisis and sits on the floor instead*
More seats for women and non-binary peeps to sit on :)
lmao! you’re right, that probably would happen.
*cries in asexual*
LMFAO
so they end up staying up with a grumpy face xD
I saw one with the pink vs blue globe and someone said "The girl globe is pink because the oceans are filled with the blood of thousands of sexist men" and it stuck with me.
I can respect that one
Shit went from 0 to 100 real fucking quick
I'm gonna make the ocean pink with their blood brb-
by that logic the ocean should be purple (red+blue) and the land should be brown (red+green).
I am amazed that a person reached adulthood without learning that in clothing, "unisex" means that the style is suitable for every gender (though I consider all styles suitable for all genders).
I'm amazed at the sheer number of people that don't recognize what makes some things "female" clothing versus unisex. I spend an irksome amount of time having to tell people that the sweatshirts and t-shirts we sell are almost always unisex, unless it says otherwise on the tag. The sheer number of folks who think that because a shirt is a soft fabric, or has a particular logo on it, it must be a woman's shirt...yes, dude, you can in fact buy a Wonder Woman shirt without it being a woman's shirt.
I was in a Walmart once and a woman was buying a shirt for her daughter and she found a vampire shirt in the girls department and got one of the workers attention.
She asked them why a vampire shirt was in the girls department when blood and vampires are associated with boys.
The employee asks her.
"Women don't bleed?"
I heard some light cussing and the two walked away from each other.
Like why?
I hate unisex 😁😁😁😃😃😄😄😆😀
I always thought that "unisex" on clothes is meant to be like on a general size scale. Like instead of being measured by men's and women's (like shoes) it would just be the size.
@@ben_dover97 The worker is just perfect! Another good one is that everyone has blood.
As a mom to a toddler, I'm definitely tired of needlessly gendered things. It's hard for me to figure out if something is a good product when you have people who legitimately leave bad reviews like this one for building blocks : "cute toy, but I bought it for a girl and there weren't enough girl colors. 1 star" Like, it's okay for your child to play with yellow and blue blocks 🤣
I wrote a story where the baby girl is dressed in blue dresses.
@@juliefarrell6688 Funny enough, your story actually has meaningful historical roots. Girls used to wear blue, because it was seen as fragile and modest, and boys used to wear pink, because it's a watered-down version of red, the color of war and blood, and therefore stronger and more masculine.
But then the American fashion industry came to the market in the 1950s and decided to throw those meanings out the window by reversing the color roles in a gendered society.
We're still paying the price 70 years later.
@@DansuB4nsu03 It seems whenever it comes to cultural trends that originated at the beginning of the Cold War era, conservatives act like that's the way it's always been, and always must be. For some reason, that's their halcyon era of American life, and the time America was considered "great." This despite it being the pre Civil Rights and pre LGBTQ rights era.
@@FrozEnbyWolf150 I think you mean BECAUSE it was before civil rights and LGBTQ+ rights 😅
@@kayenjee Yeah, if they're willing to say the quiet part aloud.
I work in a bakery. Recently I wrote "happy birthday" on a cake in blue. The customer had told me it was for a woman, which is fine. Blue is unisex. She wanted me to re-write it because blue wasn't a woman's color.... I also had a coworker who would flip our boxes inside out (pink outside and brown inside, so now the brown is outside) if she could tell the order was for a man, so a man didn't have a pink box. It's a damn box.
I'm so happy to live in Sweden. This would never happen in Sweden. (At least I hope it would never happen in Sweden.)
The cis scare me.
@@BigGayIncorporated as a cis man, same.
if i worked at a cake place and that happened i’d probably get fired for half the words that i’d say to people like that. what the f***
fun fact: pink used to be for boys and blue used to be for girls
Used to be the "break man" at an industrial bakery, and being a trans woman it gave me mild dysphoria that my position was literally called break MAN, and apparently hr heard about me being trans and after a week I found that the position was changed company wide to "break person" and even though I don't work there anymore I'm still happy I had some kind of impact
Huge respects to the company that you worked in. I'm bigender( I identify as a man and woman) so I don't really need to worry about it, but if there was a position that caused dysphoria to someone in my workplace, then they'd just fire the person.
Props for accidentally breaking a title that didn't need to be gendered and extra props to their HR for doing their job and expanding the applicant pool for that position
HR actually did their job? That's amazing wish more would do that
Ya know what I realized was pointlessly gendered today? Bathrooms. Yeah I know we all already know this but it hit me today because usually if you tell a kid they can’t go somewhere they will do everything in their power to go there, but gendered bathrooms are so ingrained into us that as a kid when I walked just past the doorway of the boys bathroom for a dare in school, all the kids yelled like “wow I can’t believe she went into the boys bathroom!!! That’s so BAD!!!” Like it wasn’t a big deal to me. It’s just a place. I walked in and out two steps. I’m now realizing it might be because I’m agender and gender just doesn’t really matter to me - but still.
And sometimes you just want a bathroom badly and any bathroom will do. Parents with really young kids also sometimes break this rule.
i'm so used to taking my son into the women's restroom with me that the most embarrassing part of the time i walked into the men's room was worrying about HIM feeling uncomfortable with ME in there. if a guy walked into the women's restroom and was like "the men's room is closed" or whatever, ok no problem please be neat and wipe the seat 👍
“I’m glad you didn’t get your money back you sound awful” THAT GOT ME-
I too am happy that person did not get their money back.

It's a nice change from the other bots I've seen.
A bot is still a bot though.

The hardest thing about transitioning for me as an AFAB person was losing my ability to differentiate colors. I'm genderqueer, so I'm still allowed to know in between colors like indigo, but all pinks and blues look exactly alike. :( No one warned me about this side effect of being trans, I cry
What?? I have never heard of this before. Oh my, you have done me a huge favour. As an AFAB genderfluid artist, this is a big con on my personal list about transitioning or not. I am very sorry for you but thank you for sharing this information.
Talk about pointlessly gendered... I'm a machinist, a mainly male dominated field, so I went and searched out a pink toolbox to keep in the shop. All the guys loved it! 🤣 Paid the pink tax for it too!
it is people like you that keeping me from jumping off of a cliff.
Fellow girl in male dominated field here - in college I had two of my umbrella's stolen in like 2 months, so I went and bought a bright ass pink one that could be seen a mile away. My friends found it hilarious, especially when we went places together and had to share it & instead of it being stolen on a rainy day, after I forgot to take it to next classroom, my classmates were like "hey you forgot your umbrella" 😂😂 It lasted me for a surprisingly long while before it broke down xD
That is amazing
If you're in the UK, have you looked at the Work Kit Girl website?
I love pink stuff
I once was talking to a trans friend and she said 'My mum told me i squeeze wet towels like a man' and i got so confused like... How can you gender SQUEEZING TOWELS TO DRY THEM ???
My mom used to say I get my t-shirt off like a boy when I was a kid. =\
That’s very confusing. It’s just towels
@@Hatfright And that’s also weird. It’s just a way to take off a shirt
@@Hatfright you just unlocked a memory.. I’ve heard something like this growing up. Something about crossing your arms or not? Very confusing back than, still very confusing as a grown ass woman.
@@jokl89 I think that plays in, yeah. And if you grab it on your back and pull over your head or not.
Jokes on my ma, I'm nb, so both ways works for me, I guess xD
I am no longer calling them macarons, they are now SQUISH BISCUITS
I met this little kid on a train today who loved pink. He was wearing a pink t-shirt and pink socks, had a pink race car and a pink water bottle. I was just happy that his parents were not fussy about things not being pink for boys❤
At my company, we painted a couple of wooden pallets pink, so our mostly male truck drivers won't steal them. I'm not sure if I should be amused about the idea, or disappointed because IT WORKS
Why would truck drivers steal pallets? What would they do with them outside of work?
@@NewPhilosopher sell it, most probably. A new pallet was around 25€ for a few weeks, used pallets give you around 10€
Also, some drivers who load at our warehouse have their own companies with their warehouse
I've also heard this works for tools on construction sites.
@@JSchroederee It works everywhere men are the majority
I will be suggesting that to my boss. Sounds like a great idea!
I work in a shoe store. Our kids section is sorted by size, not gender. So I frequently get asked: "Is this shoe for boys/girls?" I always answer that the shoe is neutral and can definitely be worn by their child.
Today I got the same question for a pair of white socks. Yes, ma'am, your husband can wear these white socks. There is no difference between socks for men and for women, except size.
I never thought people cared so much about gender before I started working there.
aren't sizing different for men and women socks? so many times buying pack of socks with the designs i like from male/boy section that would list my shoe size range would end up with me disappointed that they are way to big for my feet. (eddit; fixed grammar a bit)
Gender/sex brainwashing....
@@LookingForFrogs the person mentioned that the only difference is the size, is not about gender, so I think there should be more sizes available. sorry if I misunderstood your comment
@@lipmolekyoong.5516 yes, so asking if the socks are for men or for women in this situation makes perfect sense, since size might not fit even if the package says "your" size if they were meant for the other gender.
In my experience, men’s socks are much thicker and roomier than women’s. I’m a girl and I’ve been wearing men’s socks pretty much exclusively for a few years now because they’re much more comfortable and last longer
Kay so I thought the "Color names if you're a girl" bit was saying that all those colors could be used as a girl's first name. And I'm like, bruh, even if you're assigned female at birth, I don't think anybody's gonna name you "Banana." 🍌💀
I’m a trans man who crossdresses and I kinda find it funny to see cis guys get so defensive about not wearing feminine or gender neutral clothes
"Delve into their butt" "Squish Biscuit" Bleeped words. Jamie was feelin' himself today. 😆❤
I'm gonna use ✨squish biscuit✨ now for macarroons
Yes, the "Delve into their butt" part got a literal LOL out of me.

why is he calling a cookie a biscuit?
@@Kara_Kay_Eschel Because that's what they are called in England/Britain.
Every time i see a "men like to be in control" or similar masculinity bullcraps i want to go to the kitchen and make my girlfriend a sandwich. Tho if i actually do that i would probably feed her 10+ times a day and that's no good
hahaha lol xD
i cringed too.... I just cannot picture myself going out with a girl with such mindset... have you seen me? no. hahaha
@@danone2414 i cannot picture myself being near anyone with such mindset. Not boy, not girl, not family members, not friends, no one!
@The werewolf of Tibet Which cases? The people I've seen in control in many different cases variate, man, women, non binary, agendered, etc. In most of the cases I know they were women.
I completely agree! My husband and I laugh because he cooks dinner after I work and maintain our cars. We hear something like this and sometimes I'll ask him something dumb like "am I stealing you're masculinity?" And we laugh. 🤣😂🤣
@The werewolf of Tibet not in our case at all. I'm the stay at home mom who builds our new glass shop, moves him in and then does a cv rebuild the following week while he's working two jobs.
And while most of my friends aren't this extreme, there isn't a vast majority either way
I just realized because I'm genderfluid I can get twice the cookies!!
my college had (i think they got rid of it eventually, not because of complaints mind you, just got rid of it in a renovation) chairs w/ literal lifecast genitalia on them. two different kinds of parts. truly the worst thing ive ever seen in all my days
LMAO
I definitely thought the “color names for girls” was suggestions for girls names and I was like “plum” and “eggplant” are a bit out there but “fern” is nice.
Imagine naming your daughter eggplant. In 2022. Awkward...
I don't think it's names for people, it's the names OF the colors.
Ah yes, I have met many people named “Salmon”. Such a common name. Hehe
Yeah, Fearne is nice. And also a bit scary :3
(waiting to see who gets it... ;) )
Oh like fern from adventure time. What a lovely character :)
Speaking of pointlessly gendered - let's talk deodorant/antiperspirant for a minute. Went to the store yesterday and there were probably 50-70 different kinds, all of which were gendered. The men's stuff smelled very strongly masculine and was packaged in blue or black, and the women's was very strongly feminine and packaged in purple or white. Where's the generic "human that doesn't want to stink"?
@@jenn3589 I may not know how the whole world works but I certainly know biology does not genetically program preferences into people.
@@jenn3589 I have a uterus and all the other junk associated with it, so I gues you would force the term woman on to me. I am also allergic to floral scents, in the sense that if I use a floral scented deoderant my skin develops a rash and I actually smell WORSE than I did before. Also I have eczema and react badly to soap but the reation is always much worse if I use floral soaps.
So guess what, I use men's deoderant because I don't react to it and men's soap because the reaction is much less of a problem. And 9 times out of 10 I prefer the scent of men's products over that of women's because they don't smell quite as artificial.
@@jenn3589 When my sister and I played with Barbies they were spies and assassins. I'm an enby but she's a cis woman.
Also, kids are told from the very beginning what is an isn't acceptable for their assigned gender. Even if they can't physically tell the difference, they treat children differently based on perceived gender (aka did their parents dress them in pink or blue). Even if their parents are trying to actively combat it, that stuff is baked into a lot of the world.
@@jenn3589 social not biological
@@jenn3589 wow this is the first time someone replied to my comment, and it’s by the likes of you. Honestly disappointed.
As a Cis women who is 5'10". I wear a women's size 10/11 shoe, depending on the brand. And for some reason at least hear in Canada, a lot of female shoes go only to size 10. So over the years I have had to go to the men's section to find shoes that fit. And often the shoes look identical. Just the way sizing is, is what changes. So that makes no sense.
5:36 I only had one pair of shoes for many years. Then I discovered I was never actually a man.
'Are we ready for more gendering?'
NO! Please NO! Let's let all the humans enjoy all of this things 😭😭😭😭
7:24 that pink globe is every geography teacher's nightmare. Kids don't know continents and oceans as it is, let alone if everything is the same damn colour. I suppose it's cute as decoration, but otherwise a terribly impractical idea
It looks like more of a disciplinary globe.
Fun fact: almost all shoe brands are made using men & boy's feet as the "last" or model. There are very few shoe companies, like Rieker, who actually use a woman's last for their women's shoes. So EVERYONE is wearing shoes who's inside construction is based on men/boys feet, no matter their sex. Now who should be upset about "unisex" shoes?
8:00 yeah my religion teacher spent a full 5 mins explaining how God is above gender and almost all human comprehension
Once I went to the pool and bought goggles. They came in two colours, pink and blue. I couldn't notice any other difference. They were labelled "women's" and "adult" respectively
😬
WTF?!?!?!
Not only is that offensive to women, but whichever cis-het-man came up with that labeling is giving me pedo-vibes.
Ah, yes. The 2 genders. Women and adult.
Wow, so they infantilising women like Saudi Arabia now? 👀
It's more to do with men as default than infantilisation imo
I really feel for the poor, most likely underpaid retail worker who had to deal with the "I'm not a unisex" guy.
I used to work at a store where we had done away with gendering the bathrooms years ago. It's known to be a pretty socially progressive store, but it really wasn't even any kind of a statement. It just made sense because the room marked "women" always had a longer line. They weren't stalls -- just fully closed, lockable rooms with a toilet and a sink inside. They were always cleaned and fully sanitized every evening, and usually throughout the day (because, as anyone who has ever had to clean a public bathroom can attest... people are animals).
But sure enough as I was waiting for the restroom after my shift one day, some woman joined me and promptly started complaining that neither was the "women"s room. I tried to get out of the conversation by saying it had been like this a long time and we never had any issues. But she persisted on about how she'd now have to use the bathroom after a man, and gestured wildly at my male coworker leaving one of the bathrooms as if his maleness proved some kind of point. I kept trying to brush her off until she finally said "Well, I don't think I can keep shopping here if it's going to be like this." To which I just said "Okay", and went on to use the bathroom like a normal person.
This was at the height of media attention on transgender bathroom issues so to this day I think she was just looking for an excuse to be a TERF, and we denied her that with our gender neutral bathrooms. That thought always makes me happy.
I'm so glad I read your comment.😂 Seriously, what's the problem? As most anyone that has ever cleaned public restrooms will tell you, women's rooms are always WAY worse.
@@C-SD Cleaning bathrooms is part of my job. I must clean at least six per shift, and they tend to be pretty equal in dirtiness. The mens room does tend to be more roughed up though, and more likely to get graffitied. In terms of cleanliness though, they tend to be pretty equal.
i would love to have that lady complain to me about using the bathroom after a man so i could go "alright, i have to take a shit so you can just use it after me, a woman, instead. that will solve your issue right?"
As an agender person, coming across gendered products just makes me laugh, like... why!?!
On a side note I actually only ever wear one type of footwear, also I want those blue macaroons. Now I'm hungry 😂
"I've never seen anyone bring a clipboard into an exam, they normally provide tables for you"
My psych 101 was taught in the school theatre so yes, the prof told us to bring clipboards since there were no desks lol🤦 (although the theatre seats WERE super comfy)
Here in the States I have heard that beverage described as a “beermosa;” and while at first mention I thought it sounded awful, someone bought me one and said “just think of it as a shandy,” and it really was delightful. It helped that it was a hot summer day. But gendering it? You’re right, truly pointless.
You could call it a fruitless endeavour.
@@billsbrothertv5701 *ba-dum tsss*
I'm disappointed that whoever came up with the name didn't call the drink a "himosa". I mean, if people are going to gender orange-shandy, they could at least put some thought in to the name.
@@euansmith3699 wit and creativity from bigots is again a no show
Beermosa's are soooooo gooood!
Jamie is right. I regularly buy the "men's" hygiene products.they are literally just hygiene products.they are inanimate objects.they do not have male, female,etc.naughty bits on them.
It's deodorant.razors.shave cream.da fawk?!
A friend of mine (girl) uses male razors and shave cream because they seem to work better on her legs (onestly, I wouldn't be surprised if they do)
@@Basilissa_Sunight male deodorant also works better, and i use it for that reason lol
I heard one time that you might even save money by buying some products from the line "for men" rather than the ones "for women?"
@@sleepingroses761 that is true, especially for shaving cream for some reason. you'd think if they want women to shave every facet of their body that the women's shaving cream would be cheaper but oh well
Yup, male products are cheaper, the razors work better and i honestly like the smell of men's deo/parfum/shower gel etc more than the flowery women stuff
The "I'm not a unisex" bit reminds me of an experience at a past job: I worked at a hotel. One day, I'm cleaning the single-occupant bathrooms behind the front desk. Guy asks which one is the men's room. I tell him they're unisex. He replies "But I'm not a unisex, I'm a guy." (Side note: this was when a bathroom bill in another state had been in the news a lot recently.) I thought he was messing with me until I heard him mutter something about "didn't want to get into some political debate." I was too stunned by the realization that he was serious that I didn't tell him what "unisex" means (and let's be honest, would he have listened? Doubtful).
And no, men do not have just one pair of shoes for everything. I have seven pairs of footwear in my bedroom at this present moment. And only one does any kind of double duty.
Your sense of humour is sooo witty. Keep the videos coming!
On the Prager U one:
So what Prager is saying is that it's important not to misgender someone? Interesting.
But only when it comes to God as he is above all. Otherwise you will be misgendered on a whim.
The unisex shoe rant is priceless. Most of the big sneaker companies are unisex, and list both men's and women's sizing on the box. I bought several pairs of Vans, Chuck Taylors, and Heelys in the past year. Basically the entire product line is unisex. There's nothing gendered about sneakers. They make one style of shoe for everyone.
And they _still_ never fit me! Because apparent the entire world has popsicle-sticks for feet, while I have pancake-spatulas-wide feet.
"I bought several pairs of Vans, Chuck Taylors, and Heelys in the past year."
how much do you walk to buy _several_ pairs
This is unfortunately not true, at least in Sweden. Here shoes are gendered :-(
I found a really nice pair of green-blue shoes, in my favourite model that I had just worn out, but they were too big in size for me. I asked for my size and they came with a horrible pink-red-ish couple. I asked for the green ones in my size, but no. Green only came in men's sizes, and the horrible pink was all us women could choose.
I got so furious and bought a totally different pair of shoes that I had foot ache from for an entire year. But NO WAY I'd buy such ugly shoes just cause I was a girl!! I'm still angry!!
@@ThylineTheGay they weren't all for me. 😉
@@SamirCCat I have had this problem too. Some that I really wanted didn't come small enough. Have you tried looking for the shoes you want in boys youth sizes? I have a small AFAB body and find a lot of my shoes (and clothes, to be honest) were meant for 12-14yo boys. 😂
Imagine being so insecure that you have to tell everyone "gggrr im so manly that my shoes are fifty-four percent DIRT!"
Hi Jammi!
You now know a male who owns a single pair of shoes that are worn everywhere I go. Some people are poor enough that we can't afford more than one pair every 5 to 10 years. Not kidding.
Much love though. Love the video. Take care.
When it comes to knowing the names of different shades/tints of colour, it probably depends on how relevant it is in your daily life. People working in or with an interest in fashion, home decorating or art will come across the names of colours all the time whereas people who don't work with colours won't.
....& folks working in hardware & paint shops. Even the burly manly folks..... gosh, they must all be gay - someone should tell them .
Yeah, really! My dad (M) and I (F) are both into art, and we both know way more specific color names than the rest of my family, both men and women. Known color names are not gendered. And honestly, I don’t even pay attention to shades unless I’m doing art. “Ivory” and “eggshell white” are just “white” on an every day basis.
Yeah, I majored in studio art and we used to joke that if you use color names like mulberry, azure, or chartreuse accurately and in everyday conversation, you’re probably an artist.
My husband can look at 3 shades of green and he sees the same color on each one, but I can see that each is slightly different than the others and can tell you which has more blue, which has more yellow, which is slightly more grey, etc.
Some lines of work, study, or hobbies cause you to effectively train your brain to see the nuances between different colors.
@@Annie_Annie__ Also just having the language to differentiate colors reinforces that difference in your brain.
@@Annie_Annie__ Apparently men can't actually see as many colours as women, I don't know why but there is research that shows it. I think I found out about it from SciShow on YT.
I just got an anti trans political ad "Do yOu WaNT WomEn To lOSe ThEiR PrIvaCy . . . " dear CZcams: read the room. Dear ad: yes I want trans women to be able to be in women's locker rooms and would be more uncomfortable if a trans man was in the women's locker room next question.
Your channel is a blessing to me. Love how you can brighten the days of so many marginalized people. Being black and queer in the world we live in really depresses me sometimes. Your humor is a reminder that I can still be seen, loved and find joy :3

I’m still a minor, but plan to adopt when I’m older and have a partner who’d want to adopt as well. And if I adopt a baby, I wouldn’t get them things to “match their gender” I’d just get clothes and toys in general. Genuinely wouldn’t care what the color of the clothes or the type of clothes they are.
Melissa and Doug toys are just regular toys, made out of wood, high quality. No gender nessisary
@@strangemoonshine5257 They also make outrageously huge, pleasantly realistic, but still reasonably priced plush animals. Things like nearly five-foot-long plush dolphins, and the like. Again, no gender required.
like these people pointed out, Melissa & Doug supremacy
Please yes
Colour names one would make more sense if it was like how artists call colours vs non artists. It makes sense why artists are more specific in naming colours, not just women in general
I have actually seen that joke redone as artist vs layman, and I preferred that version. That said, a lot of the names for colours on the detailed side are definitely fashion names, if artists were getting overly specific they'd probably use pigment names like 'vermilion' or 'red violet lake' where that has 'maraschino' and 'lavender'. My personal tendency is to describe those colours as "warm red" and "light pinkish purple".
@@erink476 Sap green, alizirin crimson, phthalo blue ...
Yeah im a girl but i only started differentiating diferent shades after i started drawing lol
@@erink476 Yeah I'm an artist but only know a handful of shades, as the names don't really matter as opposed to what they look like. I'd only use specific shade names when talking about like, furniture lol.
2:25 Uhh … You know what you get if you scale up a housecat to the size of a German-Shepherd or Golden Retriever? _A puma._ Seriously, pumas, a.k.a. mountain lions, are more closely-related to housecats than they are to lions, jaguars, or other felids their size.
Also, there's a saying: 2 dogs vs. a cat, bet on the dogs. 1 dog vs. a cat, _bet on the cat._
The muscular-power-per-mass ratio on a cat, any cat, is the largest of any mammal. A housecat can rip out throats and sever veins and arteries. And they have knives for claws.
Yeah cats are literally tiny killing machines that *aren’t even fully domesticated.* They are terrifying, yet we let them into our homes and feed them just because they are cute.
‘Squish biscuits’ 😂😂😂 I’ve only just found your channel through mama Dr Jones and I’m so glad I did 🥰
"Some say God is a man. Other say God is a woman or some OTHER genderless force." Okay, all women are genderless forces now I guess.
@@krimsonkatt no he fucking isn't stop being so disrespectful
Jamie, I have had an incredibly stressful day - but "squishbiscuits" made everything better. I can't stop giggling and I'll never call macarons anything else anymore. Thank you for cheering me up.
I love this channel!! It's always so wholesome and cheerful and when I'm having a rough, rotten day, he always makes me smile!!
Also, as a bi cis-woman, I have a pair of fake crocs (please don't throw things at me! Lol) that are the only shoes I wear (pain makes them easiest to put on lol).
Thank you, Jamie, for such sweet and wholesome and fun content. ❤
I find it amusing, the whole shoes women have vs shoes men have, considering my late dad owned around 7 or so different pairs of shoes and boots, but both me and my mum only own two at one time, and I tend to fall into a habit of just wearing one pair until they’re worn out.
Yeah, my dad owns and has owned at least 10 pairs of shoes at any one time in my life, and my mom has owned at most four. And two of the four pairs were gifted to her.
@@nyandoesthings indeed, I know if need be I’d have a pair for more formal situations, but there isn’t a need for it at moment, so my shoes are fine as is.
I have 1 pair dress boots, two pairs of atheletic shoes, 2 pair of dress shoes. Boots black, shoes black one pair good the other yard work, and brown and black shoes. I destroy shoes. So I rotate. Dont spend a ton either. No point when my shoes die so quickly.
The one with the shoes was really funny to me because I, as a woman, only own two pairs of shoes. One I wear all the time and one for special occasions.
Would that make me a man according to these people? xD
Anyway, really loved the video :)
Same. I have gym shoes and boots.that is it
I have one pair of sneakers, one pair of sandals and one pair of winter boots (I live in Massachusetts and we get heavy snow in the winter and temps in the 90s during summer with humidity so I need all three because there are times where I can’t wear either heavy boots or sandals).
Same here. 2 pairs of shoes, and one pair of boots! All bought in the men;s section - my feet are too big and wide to fit into most "women's" shoes.
I have 4 pairs of shoes as a women, but only because I of temperature and because I need one pair of gym shoes.
7:30 Princess Bubblegum’s colonisation got real
Love it when ads say "not actual gameplay" for the entire thing.
I wonder if the man wanting his money back for unisex shoes would wear a dress if it was labeled as "for men" in the shop and all the pants were in the women's section
Presentation dictated by shops anyone?
The first thing that came to my mind was Ben Shapiro wearing a wedding dress "for men"
He'd probably give a worker at the store an earful for "ruining masculinity"
"Men only bring a pencil to a test."
Me who was so nervous the morning of my SAT exam that I forgot my calculator at home and genuinely only brought my pencil and a water bottle: "As someone who's already done that. Word of advice. Don't."
Hi Jamie....I found you through your interview with Mama Dr Jones from the other day and I want to say thank you for being so open and honest about your life...I have been binge watching some of your videos and I reallly love the way you share yourself with us...
I like to think of myself as being and ally to the community. My 16 year old daughter came out to me a year or so ago that she is a lesbian....I have absolutley no problem with that....One of her best friends at school is a trans female and another is gay.....We are very lucky in that the school they go to is very inclusive, and they dont care what gender a person is or what sexuality they are, as long as they are there to learn, they will be taught....
Just as a side note. I make jewellery in my spare time and have made beaded bracelets for them all and I call them my pride bracelets....They have a black, white or clear base and all of the colours of the rainbow included...I personally wear these bracelets in support of my daughter and her friends....
I would really love to send you and Shaaba one each but don't know how to....Plus, I would have to custom make them for you.....
I love how I played switchcraft for a few months, randomly stopped playing, and then Jamie sponsors it.
I am a cis woman and own 3 pair of shoes and one sneakers and one pair of boots. Many people don’t believe me. Can’t believe I have so few. It’s interesting how people are stereotyped…. We need to all be able to be who we are.
Lmao I have 1 pair of shoes that I use for everything, 1 pair of boots, 1 pair of sandals for fancy stuff, and 1 pair of flip flops. I've never understood keeping multiple pairs of the same type of shoe
@@lego_the_cat I buy multiple pairs of the same shoes for one very good reason: I have hard-to-fit feet. I HATE shoe shopping, but if I find something that fits well, looks decent, I'm going to buy multiples! If I don't, sure as shit I'll never be able to find them again in ANY store. I was born with bunions, its a physical trait from my fathers family. Wide across that part of the foot, narrower at the heel, and long. Its hard finding wide shoes that are wide enough to not put pressure on the bunions, so you know Im gonna stock up when I do!
Omg I finally found my people!!! I wear a shoe till it's totally worn out which a lot of people find weird. I like heels so I have 2 pairs in different colours, 1 sandal and 1 pair of flip flops. I usually buy one pair of ballet flats in black that I wear everywhere.
I have a pair of boots, some dress shoes (that I rarely wear), sandals that I only wear to the beach, and my sneakers that I wear almost everywhere.
And all of them are flats.
I’ve never owned heels of any sort.
After that stern remonstration from Jamie; I feel a bit guilty to only own a pair of walking boots and a pair of slippers.
As a child, I didn't know what unisex meant for clothes and shoes and thought there was a discount on these things for students because they go to a university and university is often abbreviated to uni in our colloquial language. As a child, I didn't know it was an abbreviation for universal, not university.😅
Lol, my mom and I used to think petite meant skinny so I wouldn't shop in that section. Imagine my delight and surprise when I realized it actually meant short, which is exactly what I am. XD
The gendered chairs remind me of the ones we had in the student lounge when I went to hair school. Yes they were gendered, and me and a few friends actually got mad and went WTF.
Actually asked a teacher, and she said that "men and women have different haircuts, because women don't have sideburns" and me, who is (technically) a woman with sideburns was enraged, confused and hurt by how noninclusive she was being about people who are nonbinary.
10:10 no those are macrons for aces
I'm glad I wasn't the only one who thought that.
Hot tip: everyone should buy jeans from the mens department. Theres no difference, the sizing makes sense, (like give me a x-cm waist not a frickin random number or letter) and omg, the pockets are like a bloody tardis!
My sister once saw a male 80's/90's pop star buying jeans in the women's department for himself, because he "liked the fit better". I guess he didn't like pockets :D
And I bet they cost less.
@@lorifiedler13 Depends on the store, brand, and location
I live in an area that is uh...lets say stuck in the past, and a lot of locations the mens jeans are more expensive, but they're all meant for working in while the women's section has 4 pairs and 3 of them are combination jeans/leggings. So insanely better quality for like $2 extra.
But men's dress-pants are losing their pockets. They're either getting shallower, or the opening is getting so large that everything's constantly falling out. Been driving me crazy the past 15 years!
As for jeans: Some of us guys need relaxed-fit that's even more-relaxed that what they sell. If you exercise your lower body or just naturally have muscular calves, _you can't even get most jeans past your knee._
I absolutely _hated_ blue-jeans until a friend who worked out took a look at my legs and went, "No, you need to look for Levi's. Trust me on this." Jeans finally fit! [I'm also naturally thicc, so I couldn't button shut regular jeans because my butt's so big.]
As a transguy that needed to wear women jeans for a long time and now finally men's jeans, there actually are differences thou. Especially the hip, butt (and obviously crotch area) is cut very differently, since men's jeans aren't designed for wide hips. Finding jeans that fit my hips but didn't have too long legs or made my butt look weird was actually very difficult.
My boyfriend has "eye cream FOR MEN" and it says "skincare meticulously crafted for men, by men" on it, and every time he uses it I make fun of him because it's just so stupid.
Note: He got it in a subscription box so he didn't pick it out, he also thinks it's ridiculously stupid and uses my eye cream more than that one, so don't worry he's not one of those people🤣
Hey, as long as it's unscented, any face product is unisex.
I remember for a while they tried to sell skincare "for men" as being different because men have thicker skins or whatever... which may be true, but that matters wayyyy less than skin type, which skincare "for women" address far better.
@@John_Weiss Whether or not its scented doesnt change it but otherwise yeah.

9:55 besides the sexist details, I would get a kick out of using a mug with a spirit level, pencil holder, and a ruler on the side! Sign me up 🙌
Me too. I used to carry a spirit level in my handbag.
Clothing. Clothing is SO uselessly gendered. I have trousers bought in the men's department I wear for work because the pockets are huge and can actually fit more than my fingertips in them. I mean, as a cis-gendered woman those trousers are mine, so technically they are woman's trousers because I am a woman, but they were "made for men." Crazy.
your "woman's trousers" 🤝 my "man's coat" with flowers embroidered on it
You can wear men's pants but I can't even wear skirts :(
We live in a society
4:51 Ew. Even if the story about buying shoes wasn't genuine, the transphobia and general bigotry against some forms of gender expression are all too real. Even if they whine "it's a parody!" the hatred is real and deserves to be called out.
And remember, the anti-trans ideology is absolutely identical to the anti-gay ideology from the 1990s, just with a few words swapped out. Same sh1t from the same azzholes.
As an enby I can't use anything. Whenever I try and use men or women's products I spontaneously combust.
It's happened 5 times this week.
I was literally laughing out loud at this, thanks Jamie!
2:30 im ok with being "not a man" if it means i get to keep my two kitchen panthers.
Alright, the color on the “girl” globe was ridiculous - BUT I would like to point out that both boxes said “Børneglobus” which means “children’s globe”, so technically they were not gendered.
The pictures of the children on the boxes were different. One had boys, one had girls. So technically still gendered.
At least they didn't do a "champion and cooker" thing.
They are still gendered based on norms. The pink is clearly "for girls". Like almost always, the "boy's version" is seen as neutral while the "girl's version" is gendered. And that's done without naming them as such.
I once heard a father tell his son „no, not in that colour, thats a girly green! Maybe they have it in a boyish green too“ and I just could not believe the pointlessly gendering!
My (now ex-)sister-in-law once threw a public temper tantrum, because my nephew wanted pink sunglasses. She refused and bought him the blue ones instead. He wasn't happy about it and refused to wear them, lol.
I was literally sitting playing Switchcraft when I started this video! I think I'm close to the end too cuz I'm past level 100, and it has been really endearing and engaging as a story. Love this video too, was just such a strange coincedence!
I’m closeted and gender-fluid and we all got secret gifts in the mail that we ordered (they turned out to be scarves and hats) and coincidentally all the boys picked up gray ones and the girls picked up blue ones (they were in an opaque bag). I picked up the only maroon one by accident, so my mom was like “Wow look! All the boys got gray and the girls got blue, how cool! Except for [My name], but that’s fine.” It was just pure luck but it made me feel really happy that technically it was still separated by gender :)
This had nothing to do with the video I just wanted to tell someone
Gendering things is stupid anyways because no matter what I wear it's crossdressing. No matter what I do it's both manly and feminine as well as unmanly and unfeminine. Tbh tho, this sub can be hilarious and your reactions are amazing.
I love Switchcraft!!! I blame Jessica 🤣🤣
10:26 The cookies are called macarons. Macaroons are typically made with coconut
Yes One time in class I had an argument with a friend because she thought they were called macaroons although I feel like for some reason macaroon sounds better than Macaron idk roon Sounds like toon and cartoons are pretty cute and Ron is The ugly ginger in Harry Potter I think
@@Luna_shadow The thing is, they are actually two very different things.
@@Jadyn_Sage I know I’ve eaten macaroons before and they are definitely not as good as Macarons
Sometimes I watch these videos and think, ‘well obviously!’ when you comment on something and then I get sad because clearly it’s not obvious for people and they remain ignorant and hurt people. ☹️ I enjoy your videos and I hope they reach someone outside of this lovely bubble who can learn something. Thank you Jamie! ✨
I actually wheezed when he said “eat the perfume,” my humor is so broken 😭
Love the video btw! This channel is my happy place 🥰
ha, ha - my three cis boys have shoe/trainer collections that make mine look pathetic, love cats, can definitely navigate their way round a Dulux colour chart, pinch my bath & beauty products and could bake you a macaron in any colour you fancy. They also play rugby. The globe was the most ridiculous.
I really laughed at the shoe one because my Dad has more shoes than everyone in our family combined. He even bought a second pair of the same shoes once because he forgot he already owned them. Lol
I'm just trying to imagine what genderfluid clothes would even be, but all I can picture are clothes that straight up magically change appeared depending on your gender identity today. You just get like buttons for feminine mode or masculine mode or androgynous mode or whatever other modes you want and it the entire article of clothing mystically changes to fit how you're feeling.
Like the clothes in back to the future 2, except for gender?
Just a reminder
Trans fems, you look pretty and I hope you have a good day
Trans mascs, you look handsome and I hope you have a good day
People outside the binary, you look positively perplexing and I hope you have a good day
Xenogender people, your gender is valid and I hope you have a good day
Allys, I can’t tell you how much the little things mean and I hope you have a good day
(If this made your day please let me know it means a lot)
"positively perplexing" is the best compliment I've ever received. thank you sm stranger on the internet, hope you have a great day :D
also, replying to this comment made me realize i still have "lemon girl" as username even tho i am genderfluid lmao
Yes, it did make my day
@@honeyxmoony lemon being, lemon deity, lemon enigma, lemystery
@@AndromedaD lemon enigma sounds perfect
When I came out as non binary my friends may or may not have taken the unisex sign from the bathroom of our old school (it was abandoned by then so dw) and I love that thing ugh. Gendered stuff, like at any level, is so lame.
this is the first time i've actually listened to a sponser on a video, and also the first time I actually got up to download something after! I don't even play mobile games, what have you done to me jamie 😭
OMG! My aunt and uncle have those boy and girl chairs! They've had them FOREVER! The girl chair is actually really uncomfortable because her hair pokes you in the back all the time.
I just wanted to give you all a reminder. You are a unique, great individual. You are special and are a talented person. We all support you and you are spectacular, valid and amazing.
Thank yous
Right back at you :)
Jamie: I've got another one too... His name's Apollo! :D
Gotta admit, he got me there for a second
Your not the only one...
Does Jamie not have 2 cats?
Jamie calling macarons "squish biscuits" is my favorite thing that's happened all week
"Now everything is pointlessly gendered!"
*Laughs in learning French*
(this is satire btw, this is an awesome video and I hope I didn't offend anyone
Jamie, the squish biscuits are macarons!!!! My sibling is a baker, so that's how I know. Macaroons are the ones with coconut on them.
