Because you've failed to make a distinction between gender and gender roles. The former is inherent (if not always matching sex), the latter is socially constructed.

I don't associate functional, rugged workwear with "shitty and cheap" myself. Having gone through a workwear phase, I know exactly how expensive quality functional clothing can be.

Very much confused by the 2nd paragraph incel screed.

Microsoft does the latter, so it wouldn't surprise me if Amazon does likewise.

At this point I'd be perfectly happy with a dilapidated shack in Bellevue. Anything to cut down on the soul-crushing commute.

Unfortunately, I'm receiving scans of everything that comes to my mailbox, including mail destined for the previous tenant that is still addressed to my apartment.

Well, that was eye-opening. I honestly thought Snapchat was only used to sext off pics of naughty bits.
