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.
