What is unnecessary gendered? (beehaw.org)

I was watching pro golf coverage on the news and it seems so odd that men and women compete separately - same goes with pro bowling. Just seems weird to me that a game of skill is gendered when you can't even raise an argument that someone might have an advantage because of what's between their legs.

There being such a small market for lingerie for men and such a big market for lingerie for women is a direct result of heteronormativity and gender norms in my opinion. It's not a coincidence.

Maybe. Idk I'm a straight dude and my ideas of what makes a man sexy isn't lingerie - although I think Magic Mike was pretty popular.

But maybe I'm being close minded and you are on to an untapped market ( honestly, not trying to be an ass ).
