Oh. 
my mom got the "scrub mommy" then had the nerve to ask me to use it to do the dishes. i told her i'm a traditional male and i will not use a woman's sponge to do a woman's job. she looked shocked, but i stood my ground and in fact i went downstairs to the basement, got every plate that's been sitting with various sauces from my chicken tenders crusted on them, brought them back upstairs and slammed them in the sink. i told her she can use the woman's sponge to scrub the ones that didn't break. she started crying and saying she wanted me out of her house, and i told her "YOUR house? i've lived here my whole fucking life, this is MY house. you didn't move in until you were 27, that gives us both 42 years here so i own it just as much if not more than you since i was born here". i was seriously so pissed off. i went to her facebook page and laugh reacted every single dumb ass christian fundie bullshit post she's made in the last 7 years. what really pisses me off is i've send her a pdf of the god delusion and she clearly never even read it if she's still posting this bs. sometimes i blast ricky gervais standup at top volume hoping she might hear some truth bombs and come to her senses but evidently it hasn't worked.
What's really funny is that the only difference is the Scrub Mommy has a traditional sponge on the back half of it
but
They also sell a Scrub Daddy Pro that also has the sponge half on it without being referred to as female!
Yes, I do most of the housework in my home, how could you tell?
So I was browsing the website and came across this:

Would maybe be a funny bit to go on their Facebook posts and use this to spin up some wacky conspiracy theory about the company using “woke DEI” to brain wash Americans into accepting a family with 3 dads from different ethnic backgrounds who are in a gay polycule raising their kids together.
Hm, tbh I don't rally care how fleshlight replacement parts are gendered.
i went and talked with the boys in marketing, best we can do is scrub enby that comes in blue and green
Because of all the positive posts in the thread, it’s actually sold me on the sponge. Should I buy a mommy or a daddy?
I got one for Christmas because I started often joking about them after playing that one crime scene cleanup game.
Yeah wtf, scam! I get those cheap 10-pack sponges for like $2. They have a "rough" side to them. Grab a new one every week and repurpose the old one to clean the bathroom before you throw it away.
I'm anti sponge. Let me just keep wetting the best bacteria breeding ground ever and rubbing it on my food waste. I'll use it day after day.
You may notice that a sponge is just less wet after being squeezed and not dry. You'd be shocked how little water microorganisms need. Way less than we need.
Things dry over time if kept in a well ventilated area, especially if they aren't very wet like say a sponge you squeeze the water out of.
Over time being the key thing there. If you're washing dishes once a day even it'd not enough time and that also just makes most bacteria go dormant until it wet again. Sponge bad
That's why you have more than one sponge and you put the wet one on the drying rack with all your dishes
Thing is, that's what most people do and people don't get food poisoning from eating off their plates, so it's clearly working, and there's an argument to be had against bleaching every object that a human ever touches as far as immunology is concerned
Modern Americans are disgusted by their own bodies and the world to a frankly unimaginable degree
Eh, it doesn't really matter. The bacteria is rinsed off with the dish-soap after you're done scrubbing them, sort of the whole point. Assuming you're not sucking up raw chicken juice and leaving it to air-dry it shouldn't be a bio-hazard worth worrying about.
I do that with a bar rat that I have several of that I hang over the dinkmtondry over night and then toss in the laundry. For scrubbing I just use steel wool.to get the tougher bits off and cloth the rest.
For scrubbing I just use steel wool
Ironically this is probably causing micro-scratches in the enamel and plastic that harbor bacteria.
Just microwave it for like two seconds all the bacteria will explod.
Hims making a 2nd brand called Hers is the final boss of gendered marketing, beyond parody.
That's kind of what I meant thought, like oh well at first we thought we were only targeting ~50% of the market, but now we realize we're missing out on the other ~50% so we're doing hers, they could have just not named it hims in the first place and avoided making a hers
They probably didn't plan on branching out past dick pills.
They made a dick pills company and later realized it was working.
That seems like justified albeit not trans friendly gendered marketing. It's a step
Wow, you didn't add long eyelashes to the scrub mommy.
O-Only because the sponge would break if I did!Don't worry, other than being the gender of pink, the scrub mommy also has a bow so even if you are colorblind you can still see the gender of the sponge
I was too busy appreciating how good these things are on cleaning cookie sheets and dutch ovens to think anything beyond that.
Just get steel wool. I don't get why people use anything but that and a cloth.
Some jobs you want something harder than a rag, but softer than scraping metal on coated surfaces. My steel wool is mostly reserved for my cast iron.
I need to clean the inside of bottles and my fingers won't reach the bottom. Also some parts of the good ones require a pipe cleaner.
What kind of bottles? Can't you just blast em a bit full of dish soap, run hot water into it until the suds stop, rinse and repeat as needed?
Dr Brown bottles. They have like, little filters on them that help prevent gassiness, the holes on those are so narrow the pipe cleaners can be hard to pull back out.
Also, the milk can get a bit coagulated if you don't wash them immediately, which is often hard to get done. Sometimes the water pressure just won't get it off, gotta use a scrubber on a stick.
In all fairness I didn't know there was a baby in play. Then yeah, do what ya gotta do.
