A long-standing annoyance of mine is that I really hate gendered toiletries - if it's branded "for men" or "for women" it reliably smells awful, though I find for women brands slightly less awful. I've just realised I have exactly the same thing with self-help writing styles.

I mean all self help is terrible of course, but the gendered ones are just super fucking annoying.

my sense is: machismo is a challenging aesthetic to manifest earnestly without overselling. so in the mainstream marketplace, it's all overselling WWE machismo-as-drag is fun, but because everyone knows it's drag X For Men!! doesn't have that self awareness
