Sex Education/Phallocentrism 

Condomerie is a specialized condom shop with a wide selection providing expert information with the aim to remove the taboo surrounding the sale of condoms and provide proper information. However, their condoms selection for the male genital was expansive clearly display throughout the shop, yet they had two female condoms behind the shelves which are actually internalized condoms labeled as such. This portrayed a very phallocentric environment that once again put males physicality on the forefront.

Cissexism/Patriarchy/Phallocentrism 

 

Paying to use the bathroom? Well that can all be avoided if you know how to urinate standing up; just use to the public urinals or pissoir (as the Dutch would call it) to avoid all that fuss. However, most people who have female genital do not know how to do this and are forced into paying to satisfy a basic need. While it may seem insignificant these pissoirs represent cisgender male privilege in a patriarchal society because I have not seen the equal distribution of regular toilets throughout the country (without having to pay). What happens to those who are not cisgender men and women who have to use the restroom? Oh! I get it we all must now must face an inconvenience and fork up euros to urinate just because we were not born with "male parts".

Homonormality/Community/Visibility

 

Despite Amsterdam's visibility regarding the gay community, there is sadly only two lesbian bars in a city filled with tolerance. Café Saarein is one of the few original 'bruine kroegen' that happens to be a lesbian bar left in Amsterdam with an early twentieth century interior. Saarein is off the beaten path and can be miss quite easy if you are not paying attention it honestly a shame that it does not receive the same level of attention. However, its historically architecture creates attraction while creating a safe small gathering for those who are identify as lesbian in their sexual identity.
