Nah these are different. The daddy version is entirely scour and the mommy version is half scour half soft.

The rest of the their product line is all - daddy stuff.

And you don't think there is any possible reflection of gendered stereotypes in that? The fact that daddy is rough while mommy has a soft side also doesn't bring up some sexual innuendo that the marketing department probably didnt notice? The fact they're called scrub daddy and scrub mommy and there's no specific indication thst scrub isn't a verb here? It's still gendered marketing and that's not even the only reason it's funny. Do you work for the Scrub Mommy and Daddy corporation? Is this damage control?

Is it sexual innuendo or is it that women have more body fat than men and are therefore on average “softer”?

No I don’t work for them lol. But they’ve got good sponges and you just wanna be mad about something.

It’s not gendered marketing when it’s different products. gendered marketing is taking a product making it pink and slapping a “for women” on it. Pens, razors, etc.
