i.e - Tampons for Women, Condoms for Men.
Most things we buy cannot be classified as a Man Product or a Woman Product or can it? From What I've noticed, a shirt is a shirt, maybe the shape will change for a woman but thats it. A skirt is like a kilt or a sarong the concept of these items being 'unisex'.
Unless a man uses a Tampon as a butt plug there isn't going to be much use for him with a Tampon and not much use of a Condom for woman. Both these have to be used by their specific gender.
Sex toys can be used by both men and women, underware might be difficult but still, it just classifies itself as underware, unless its a Million Dollar Victoria's Secret bra :)
This was just a thought in my head today when i was trying to figure out the physical differences between men and women. There doesn't seem to be many things out there that clearly state Man and Woman. We have concept products and the gender gap seems to reduce with it on a daily basis.
Colours are supposed to define the sex, pink for a girl and blue for a boy. Action figures for a boy and Barbie's for a girl. However these are all based on popular culture and conditioning of a boy to be a man and girl to be a woman. What happens if these social influences were to break down? Would a boy be less of a man and a girl be more of a man as he/she grows up? What makes a girl Sexy and a Man Macho?
Why does a girl use lipstick? I mean its for your lips, men and women, both have lips dont they or did I miss something?
This is all about why do we do what we do? Do we want to or have we been made to want it? If almost everything is Unisex then where on earth is the Gender Gap?

are the rhetorical questions?
sex is biological, gender is a social construct. we all have male and female aspects of our character, but we choose which way to go. or, as the case may be, it was chosen for us from birth.
Yeah they are rhetorical mostly.. but if u wanna give'em answers go on.. :)
Sex is biological, we know that. It is the concept of Gender that brings on discrimination and separation in society.
