Nongendered products marketed in pink to women mean women are being condescended to and exploited through marketing, while products marketed in blue (or other gendered symbols) are proof of men’s fragile masculinity and insecurity. knowingless.com/2019/02/03/bla

I kept reading and expecting to see the connection to toxic masculinity, which is what this post seems to be explaining, but it never came. Looking at trends, you wrote this about a month after toxic masculinity went mainstream with the Gillette controversy.

If there’s no connection in my post to toxic masculinity, then why are you saying my post was connected to a controversy over toxic masculinity?

Sorry, poorly worded. The entire post seemed to be toxic masculinity 101, but it never made reference to the topic, which surprised me. I'd guess it was in your subconscious due to the coincidental timing of the subject becoming mainstream news a month before publication.
