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
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!
They wanna fuck the wallet.
Shell cordovan got me actin up
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 enjoyed your manifold joke and hope you still use it when you get grief.
I appreciate it! I do, though it doesn't come up much anymore.

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.
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
This wallet gendering is just a plot by the clothing industry so they don't have to put pockets in womens clothes.
folks is it gay to carry your ID and cards in a wallet?
also, the old Portuguese word for wallet, boceta, is now a slang for vagina lol
The wallet has big eyelashes and a bow
Donald Duck dimorphism
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!
and are often bright colors instead of just black or brown
You know, you can just get a colorful wallet if you want to. Nobody will stop you.
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.
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.

bingo
ladies' clothes do not—by and large—have usable pockets, leading wallet design to be less constrained by size (and more useful tbh)
Finally, this will make me a woman.
I can throw out all my hormones.
Any kind of zipper, button, or clasp will bring it closer to a clutch visually I guess
Real men betray no emotion as their change clatters onto the floor and when they lose their ID
A man must spend a lifetime to hone their relexes to instantly catch all objects that come shooting out of their wallet every time there is a need to get into it.
Gender aside, do people really carry change these days?
It's male-coded to use that weird little coin pocket that's inside the front pocket of some jeans.
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.
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.
all y'all analyzing the gender of this wallet and none of y'all consider that the wallet might be trans
Stupid woke wallet makers putting type 1 and type 2 as the description! Just write male wallet and female wallet like God intended!! I'm going to buy one an burn a giant penis on it so everyone knows my wallet is manly!
They're called billfolds, not bettyfolds!
Is that not a tacti-cool wallet though?
Sleek MENS Black All Leather Tactical Wallet with Protective Carrying Chain
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!!!
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.
These are all five star reviews though. Maybe the trans-fluoride we've been putting in the water is starting to work.
The wallet pass
"Why do you care so much about shoes? No one is paying attention."
The exact same people discussing their money holder:
the chain goes hard ngl
who needs a wallet these days, it's all computer now. transit card? computer. bank card? computer. id? computer.
carrying a wallet with some spending money so you have something to give homeless people and the occasional desperate mugger is praxis
I like cash bc it’s much more private
Wow, everything's computer!
I still prefer using cash and coins and not having to deal with a million trackers and have corporations profit off my data.
what if ur wallet was a brawwd
🎼
Here comes Dick, he's wearing a purse. Here comes Jane, with a wallet sporting a chain.
Now wallet meets boy, and wallet meets girl
They both look the same, they're overstuffed with pocket change.
And they love each other so
Androgynous 🎶
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
I’m glad those cross body bags became cool, it’s almost like I get to carry a purse
I'm firmly on team backpack
Hand bags are cool!
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
"Smooth equals feminine"
"Wrinkly equals masculine"
Also, this does does look more like a small purse than a bill fold style wallet.
What are dudes supposed to do with change??? Clench it in their big meaty fists? Shove it up their ass? All the wallets I've ever owned have had a little coin pouch with a zipper
You collect it all in a giant pile that goes in your giant pocket like a big, manly dragon. This way your manly coin horde jingles as you walk, making the small pocketed people attracted to/jealous of you.
You keep something like 3 pounds of collected change in one pocket that bounces off your thigh and sounds like you're wearing exactly one spur.
metallic jingle... step.... metallic jingle... step
Throw it in the trash.
I was thinking it looked like a front pocket wallet for a man, especially given the chain
