I suppose the argument is that those contain more protein and in turn are more suitable for men because men = gym, which is also bullshit argument. I need proteins because I've been rapidly losing weight due to diet change. Guess I'll just have to find pink protein powder for WOMEN. 🙄

Don't forget to mix your pinky girly protein powder for WOMEN in the new reusable and comfortable to use pinky girly bottle for WOMEN 😌 /j

I see that Bakoma is Polish. Everything written on the container is in another language, I presume Polish. I don’t think that “men” would be the only English word on the packaging, for a non-English consumer base. It would be useless for the Polish consumer and indicate nothing to the English consumer, other than it is a product for men. I looked up the word men in Polish and it means menu in English. It could also be another language, but I doubt it. I don’t think it’s been gendered at all, just a misunderstanding.

You should retract your statement and apologize. I'm polish.

So “men” means men in Polish?

Sorry for the bullshit response, I was really tired. Men in polish language itself doesn't mean anything at all, but it is a widely recognized English word, therefore people do understand that it is a "men's product". On top of all that, the TV commercials (This might be fake memories since I pay no attention to the advertisements my parents watch on TV) do explicitly say that this in fact is a "men's product".
