The document discusses how products are unnecessarily gendered in advertising by being marketed towards men or women based on stereotypes. Companies will rebrand essentially the same product with "masculine" or "feminine" terms and packaging to appeal to different genders. This enforces rigid gender roles and assumes all people of a gender conform to stereotypes. In reality, gendering products is unnecessary and profits companies by allowing them to sell differentiated versions of similar items.

The products above are advertised toward men even though they do not need to be advertised toward a gender period. This is due to our enforced gender roles and how certain items are feminine even though they are not. Companies then create a more male friendly product by adding macho masculine terms or phrasing. All of this is unnecessary. Men in our society are pressured into not feeling feminine. However these companies still greatly profit from these new named products that do not or slightly differ from the females product.

Again items are gendered but to women. They are for the most part changed to pink and then add women or girls to the packaging. This is also assuming the stereotype that girls only like pink and all girls like pink and are feminine. These stereotypes are extreme, but yet again the majority falls prey to this.
