Mega Fail: That's how our favorite tea brand thinks about women

From the drugstore, we know that: In almost every way there are products especially for him and her. Shower gels, hair care, deodorants, fragrances, hair removal, creams? everywhere, of course. How much sense that makes in detail is questionable. For the sales of the companies, it is certainly good? especially if they ask one of the two genders (mostly women) to pay more!

But if you have five minutes too much time and want to try a new tea, you will find it in the supermarket? and there the man-woman distinction is slightly meaningless, but difficultdiscriminating, sexist and dripping with stereotypes, At least the way Yogi Tea makes and justifies her.



Ginger tea for him and her

Yogi Tea, really great, because "organic" certified, great ingredients, good taste and everything, so offers a male and a female tea. Both are "Ayurvedic herbal tea blends" with the main ingredient ginger. The men still have ginseng and fiery chili, the women get lovely orange peel and chamomile flowers.

At the back of the packaging is the extent to which the tea is good for men or women.

He should realize himself, find her balance

I beg your pardon?Men should "realize their ideas and values" and women "find balance in their personal and natural life cycles" ?!



Maybe I'm in a difficult phase of my natural life cycle, but that sounds like a lot: "Men do something awesome," while "women are busy getting their mood swings and hormonal curves under control." As if we had nothing better to do than seek balance.

The respective subtle message does not make it any better: "deep compassion" versus "man's dream". Because, of course, only men have dreams and visions and women are there to look after others. So why are women always looking for low-paid social jobs? because they are so deeply compassionate.
