    It is way too restrictive, they could have just made gift cards based on categories instead of Gender. Even more on a market that now questions the necessity of the ever more restrictive and dehumanizing box of “man” and “woman”

        They assume that a woman won’t buy something from Xbox. For example. Do they mean a woman never plays Xbox?

        The problem is not in being a man or a woman the problem is dictating what a man and a woman are through products. It is restrictive, if you were trying to look womanly you would need to wear a dress and use very sweet smelling perfume, if you’re a man you can’t cry and be vulnerable, you gotta play videogames more than care for your wife, hate your mother in law and hate your marriage. These are harmful and restrictive things, people are people despite their gender or sexuality, judge them as people.

          You have got a skewed view on even a “stereotypical” man. The stereotypical man I know is a loving, caring person wanting to provide and care for his lived ones. For women, what about cultures that don’t have dresses as a women’s clothing (this affirmation is unrelated to current thread).

          I don’t want to go thru gender affirmation or theories but I just want to state that a man or women label are not a bad thing. For example, I know a good number of women that prefer wearing men’s underwear, or men that prefer using women’s body care products. Nothing wrong in that, nothing insulting and nothing humiliating.
