Same company. Same Twin Pack. The women’s version is an extra $3.40 Bye. I got my Old Spice Twin Pack for $2.94 and it smells better.

The pictures show men’s twin packs at $3.97 compared to women’s twin packs at $7.37 which is a huge difference HOWEVER the men’s is the standard deodorant while the women’s has MotionSense and it is therefore comparing two separate products.

Hi! This is such an important thing to be discussing. I have made a very big point at making sure my personal feminism includes everyone- and educating myself and discussing these topics have really helped.

Issues that are commonly thought of as feminist issues include sexual assault, rape, abortion, Planned Parenthood, domestic violence, equal education, and the wage gap. Feminists have also adopted marriage equality and gay/lesbian rights as their issue which is wonderful.

However, with as many issues as feminists have succeeded in adopting, many of us seem to have not accepted the fact that police brutality and race issues are our issues too.

“White feminism” forgets all about intersectional feminism. The way a black woman experiences sexism and inequality is different from the way a white woman experiences sexism and inequality. Likewise with trans-women and Hispanic women. While white women are making 78 cents to the dollar, Native American women are making 65 cents, black women are making 64 cents, and Hispanic women are making 54 cents. Kimberlé Crenshaw said it perfectly in 1989 when she said “The view that women experience oppression in varying configurations and in varying degrees of intensity. Cultural patterns of oppression are not only interrelated, but are bound together and influenced by the intersectional systems of society. Examples of this include race, gender, class, ability, and ethnicity.” This includes trans women especially, who have been robbed of their souls when they are told they are not “real women” It is SO important to protect trans women and trans youth as they are incredibly at risk when it comes to sexual assault and hate crimes. People also seem to forget that black women are victims of police violence too- from Sandra Bland to India Clarke- a trans woman who was beaten to death in Florida just a month ago.

The fact that when Amandla Stenberg wrote this beautiful and truthful piece http://instagram.com/p/5D-u1Vm1c8/ she was automatically labeled the “angry black girl” says enough. We are so quick to applaud white women for commenting on race issues/discussions like #BlackLivesMatter, and #SayHerName, but when a black girl comments on it- she is told she is overreacting or being angry.

Comments like the ones you mentioned in your question drive me insane. I have personally seen men get called gay/ f**/ pu*** for wearing anything even remotely feminine. Gay is simply not an insult. Also, let’s not forget that black men cannot wear hoods without being stereotyped as thugs.

There are many words that have genuine uses that have been attached to personality disorders. Narcissistic, borderline, antisocial, passive-aggressive, sadistic, self defeating and even dependent. 

Also, as far as I understand the meaning and root of the word is was meant to be applied to acting, an overzealous onstage performance can be labelled as histrionic. 

I agree that some words are ableist and have always had that intention and should not be used. But the medical community co-opting regular words and trying to use them for ill conceived notions of personality disorders is not something I am interested in supporting.

I don’t want to disrespect anyone who may have HPD, but I am incredibly fucking sketchy on the whole concept and how intrinsically it is linked to “feminine” traits.  

Hysterical, as @aheartfilledwithlight mentioned, comes from hystericus which comes from the ancient word for womb and does indeed have a misogynist history and is a word i would personally try to avoid.

Histrionic, on the other hand, comes from histriōnicus which means pertaining to acting and describes a similar condition without the misogynist baggage.
