But what about that makes it "men's" shampoo, chemically? Do women never need to wash grease out of their hair?

I understand you're point. I'm just reiterating that the formula is needlessly gendered. "Shampoo for hard water and heavy duty cleaning" just doesn't sell in our version of socialized society I guess.

Actually come to think of it, I don't think Pert is actually gendered. But everyone knows it's a "man's shampoo", because it isn't actively marketed as a "women's shampoo"... Yeah, pretty stupid, isn't it.

I've always thought of Pert as non-gendered. In fact, that's what my mom bought for the family in the 70's.

I remember the green gel.
