Moments of Permanence - Also: Bathroom products and gender identity

I have no enlightenment on question one. On question two, however:

The fact that I have to get "for Men" products to get packaging that's in soothing monochrome and products that suit me (e.g. a facial wash that isn't designed to remove makeup, and therefore likely to strip my un-makeup-touched skin, or "moisturising", and therefore hideously greasy, or both): misogynistic, stupid, or what?

Yes, yes, and also a sign of how ridiculously overspecialized the consumer goods industry is.
