2-for-Tuesday: Oneida Aquarius Wine Glass Sets
- You get two pairs of your choice of red wine or white wine glasses, which we think comes to four glasses total but TBH we been hitting the wine pretty hard so
- The red ones are wide and bulbous, the white ones are slimmer and daintier
- You know Oneida, decent enough, nothing spectacular, perfect for Meh
- Model: 110027 (six digits, so not a ZIP code… but still a postal code in New Delhi, India)
Gender is fluid.
Hey, you mind giving us a hand here? We’re trying to figure out if our wine glasses are boys or girls, and we’re having a hell of a time locating and identifying their genitalia.
No, we didn’t know it was a thing either. Until we got these Oneida Wine Glasses and noticed that one of our two varieties, the ones for red wine, were described as “unisex”. It dawned on us that we’ve been drinking wine out of glasses for years without ever knowing the gender of any of them!
This sent us scurrying to our cabinets to locate the reproductive organs of all of our stemware. Oneida wouldn’t steer us wrong with a bizarre, gratuitous “unisex” label on a completely unsexualized inanimate object. If they say wine glasses are sexed, it must be true.
They’ve been making the darn things since 1880. Evidently, sometime during all those decades, they stumbled across sets of tiny, transparent genitals. It’s probably the kind of thing where once you know what you’re looking for, they jump right out at you.
Well, we’ve only had a day or two. No wonder we still haven’t figured ours out. Not that it matters. Our wine glasses are free to identify with whatever socially constructed gender category they prefer. We’re just, we guess, curious.
Ooh, hey, look, is that - oh, no, that’s just a dried droplet of Chardonnay. Oh, well, the search goes on. Hand us that magnifying glass, would you?
