idk the commodity fetishism is as glaring as the gay panic -- if ~real men~ ever bought soap, back in the days of flintlock muskets, knifefighting monkeys and hereditrary syphilis, then it was presumably just whatever soap there was, since they were unlikely to patronize the sort of places that sold more than one soap

now even the most banal objects are sold in a hundred near-iterative forms, so producers attempt to successfully commodify an abstraction

'sexual adequacy' is just a more obvious fit for cosmetic goods than 'freedom', 'allure', 'discernment' etc
