>>11648543There's probably a social stigma about a glittery personal items or glittery personal appearance and masculinity. E.g. wearing glitter or having a glittery cell phone is feminine.
I doubt that glittery cars or glittery furniture are seen as particularly feminine. See pic related.
Same reason that makeup is feminine, but car paint touch-ups are not seen as feminine. Excessive attention to personal appearance and personal items are seen as feminine, but not excessive attention to stuff like cars, boats, et cetera.
>Shiny is not feminine, glitter is.Glitter IS shiny. So... shiny is feminine, at least sometimes.
>And you ignored the obvious fact that most industries do not want to reveal their clients in order to reduce competition.I "ignored it" because it's a reasonable point, albeit somewhat weak. Plenty of companies don't disclose their customers.
Although it's not a great point, because it doesn't fully explain the behavior. Why can't the glitter manufacturer just say "we sell it to boat manufacturers", and avoid mentioning the specific companies they sell to? Possibly it's the result of an overly-aggressive corporate policy, that prevents employees from disclosing stuff that wouldn't really matter. But that's still a bit odd.
