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!
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.
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.

You know, you can just get a colorful wallet if you want to. Nobody will stop you.
