One that always annoyed me is when it is around the holidays, when stores advertise gifts for men. They always assume a guy is into toilet humor, beer humor, assuming they’re a lumberjack who needs to survive out in the wilderness, are into bbq-ing all of the time so gotta have those available all year around for some reason.

Even when I used to have identified myself as a guy, I never once fit into any of those traits. Just because guys grow beards, doesn’t always mean they’re chopping wood somewhere and always wearing plaid.

    They are selling them because people buy them. E.g. I’m a guy, and I’m into toilet and beer humor. Trans/non binary/etc guys are a minority, and im pretty sure you can find your stuff somewhere, it’s not banned, but capitalism says they have to advertise to the majority to make the most profits.

    I don’t care about football, but I know a lot of people do, so I don’t get annoyed by other people having different taste and interest than me.
