Gender experts of hexbear, please help me understand wallet gendering
It’s just a frigging wallet 
they expected a cock to pop out when they opened that wall instead they saw a gaping hole.
I think people have already dissected this wallet’s thing, but I was just thinking the other day I want to get a more feminine wallet. Definitely gendered.
I searched for “women’s wallet” on AliExpress and these were the top results. Now these I would agree do look feminine though I wouldn’t mind that cool shade of red on the bottom row
Sidenote: the search immediately suggested “women sexy toy” when I typed in “women.” Not sure if that would take me to dildos or anime figurines
One of those trad nerds buys one of these because carrying coins in a tiny velvet sack, to quote, “feels gay.”
A thousand pardons m’lord, allow me to fetch a pennyfarthing from thine bag of holding.
Sir, you’re holding up the line.
They’re called billfolds, not bettyfolds!
This wallet gendering is just a plot by the clothing industry so they don’t have to put pockets in womens clothes.
Oh shit, I can explain this. Kinda. I can’t explain how we got to wallets implying gender, but this wallet looks like it’s bigger and possibly has a zipper (just guessing by thickness). Apparently it’s a thing for girl wallets to be dummy thic; I’d guess because a purse can carry more than a pocket can. Maybe that’s how we got here?
Personal anecdote time, back when $20 meant something, I stuffed a $20 bill in my pocket and ended up losing it. My SO was rightfully pissed at me about it, because we could not afford to just lose $20. After a bit of talking it over, we arrived the the problem being that I just had too much shit in my little wallet, so we decided that the best way forward would be to get me a big, big wallet to hold all my shit. I actually got some light teasing about it at work, mostly from the Gen X folks, about it being a girl wallet (am cismale), but it didn’t bother me because I’m not stupid and I’ve got other shit to worry about besides whether my wallet is apparently gender normative. And besides, the teasing honestly wasn’t that bad, I took it affectionately and started saying “yeah, it’s my MANifold”; a dumb joke that got a few chuckles, and that was basically the end of it. It’s been over a decade and I still use giant fucking wallets to this day because they’re really useful for carrying a bunch of stuff in an organized way.
I use one of those things that people who carry purses use to hold their cards and money in as a wallet. Sleek and it doesn’t hold a lot so no clutter.
the chain goes hard ngl
who needs a wallet these days, it’s all computer now. transit card? computer. bank card? computer. id? computer.
Wow, everything’s computer!
I like cash bc it’s much more private
carrying a wallet with some spending money so you have something to give homeless people and the occasional desperate mugger is praxis
I’m not even gonna be obtuse and say I don’t know the difference between a “men’s wallet” and a “women’s wallet.” If you ask me to picture those two things this is what will come into my mind:
Men’s wallet
Women’s wallet
Men’s wallets tend to be smaller, intended to fit in a pocket, and are usually black or brown. Women’s wallets tend to be bulkier and wider, with more buckles and zippers, intended to fit in a purse or carried in your hand with a wrist strap, and are often bright colors instead of just black or brown.
So my problem isn’t even so much “are wallets gendered” as it is “that is not a feminine wallet”. It’s a black, small wallet that could fit in a man’s front pocket and has a chain to attach to your pants. That is a men’s wallet!
Apparently I am this obtuse
I bought a plain black wallet at walmart because idgaf.
Apparently this is a “man’s wallet” and its completely reasonable for my coworkers to ponder why I have borrowed my husband’s wallet for [insert coworker bonding activity]
I did not get this memo. Apparently I need a guide to acting “normal” and like a ciswoman even though I am a ciswoman. My debit card couldn’t care less about where it lives.
I don’t really think this comment has anything to do with yours. I just felt like venting. Sorry.
All wallets remind me of vaginas. They are flappy things, and you put stuff in them.

You know, you can just get a colorful wallet if you want to. Nobody will stop you.
Oh yeah, I know. I’ve had brightly coloured wallets, phone cases, etc. Of course, the problem with anything brightly coloured that goes in and out of your pocket a lot is that over time it eventually gets very grody looking
Often! Tend to be! You can certainly get a “men’s style” wallet that’s a bright color, or a “women’s style” wallet that’s black or brown.
These aren’t firm categories, there’s a whole spectrum of wallets. But there are general style trends that you can identify as “men’s” or “women’s” wallets.
Transphobes: you can’t just change your gender like that. Gender is all about biology
Also transphobes: this wallet is a woman, clearly
man I can only imagine how fucking psychedelic things would be nowadays if English had grammatical gender
Crackpot theory idea : the absence of grammatical gender is the reason the anglo empire is at the forefront of transphobia, because gendered nouns convey the idea that gender is a social construct
I feel like you’re overestimating the degree to which people recognize that language is a social construct.
If English had grammatical gender anglophone transphobes would claim the gender words have is unchangeable fact and if words can’t transition of course people can’t.
Wdym crackpot language philosophy doesn’t hold up to scrutiny how dare you
I WILL DIE BEFORE I LET YOU COMMIES SAY MY TRUCK IS A LADY
Bulgarian has grammatical gender and our chuds are still on that “gender is biological” bullshit. Never forget the cruelty is the point, there is nothing underneath fascist arguments but a yawning void where their humanity used to be.
Turns out the transphobia was the mental illness all along!
Gender experts of hexbear, please help me understand wallet gendering
Sure I’ll help you a bit: The wallet is actually male-presenting. The reason for that is that it has a chain, which means it’s supposed to be put into your pockets, which only male-presenting pants have in large enough sizes, and not into a purse or bag, which are female-presenting of course.
Just another case of cis people being bad at gender.
The Noise Boys never fail to disappoint.
If Hazbin fans are running around with those, then the whole gender thing could get a bit messy.I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
They wanna fuck the wallet.
Shell cordovan got me actin up
not tactical enough, must be for the ladieeees.Is that not a tacti-cool wallet though?
Sleek MENS Black All Leather Tactical Wallet with Protective Carrying Chain
No, the most manly tacticool wallet is one of those ridge wallets made out of manly metal with a manly money clip instead of a feminine change pouch.
OBVIOUSLY IT ISNT
just look at it! no camo! no holster! no durability! no functionality! no pockets! no elastic hoops! and most importantly! only one zipper!!!
all y’all analyzing the gender of this wallet and none of y’all consider that the wallet might be trans
