There is "logic" involved there?
Jimmy is right. Give it up and go clean a gun or something. Nothing good comes of these discussions.
Is it a female thing?

Sometimes my bathroom looks like the Topless-a- GoGo.

I share a shower with my wife AND my daughter. They can't use each other's stuff, so we have twice the number of bottles, tubes and jars, plus my one bottle of shampoo, since I get yelled at if I use theirs.
A couple of years ago, I regrouted the tile in the shower. Of course, to do this, I had to remove all the bottles, tubes and jars. When I was through, I politely asked that they go through the boxes of bottles, tubes and jars and only return those to the shower that they really need. They all went back in and have multiplied since then.
Why would you put something containing avocado oil on your hair?

There are 21 bottles because women don't just buy a bottle of shampoo; they buy a "hair care system" which includes several shampoos, conditioners, revitalizers, moisturizers, etc. Then they switch brands in midstream because if a woman wants to change her life, she'll change her hair.
It's cheaper than getting divorced.
For us, anyway...

Fun stuff: Pour some her junk out of bottles into separate containers and put it back into the wrong bottles. My ex wife loved it..

My wife works hard to look nice for me. (I hope it's for me!) I don't give her too hard a time for that.
And that is why the "lovely and Charming" and I have had Separate bathrooms for 20 + years. When it comes to assorted beauty products I generally go on the don't ask don't tell theory, which makes my life a lot easier in the long run.

The issue here, gentlemen, is trying to understand the fairer sex... good luck with THAT! I dearly love my wife. When l finally figured we just don't think the same way, process information the same way or emote the same way, my life became much easier!

Women what!?!?!? Don't think about it. It will only hurt you trying to figure it out.
I hope not. It probably IS a female thing, because they sometimes lack the strength to open what we would call a properly closed container. She may even have asked you to open the thing the first time.
Regarding the later discussions of who to take a shower with, I recommend

40+ years of being married...to one woman or another 
, I've learned, "she" gets the master bathroom and I take the guest room bathroom...or the garden hose out back if necessary ...

The lid thing is not just limited to the shower in my house....catsup, peanut butter jars, salt.....anything with a lid. I learned a long time ago not to pick anything up by the lid in our house, that is just a recipe for disaster!
And Welcome Flatstick! I'll tell you how I got my wife interested, and that was to show her what a handgun was and how it operated. Then I took her, her sons, and some friends shooting with some reactive targets and a .22. Then I let her pick out her own handgun and learn how to load, shoot, AND CLEAN it. It is a process.....

I use the downstairs shower/bathroom as mine, upstairs is hers.
That problem solved, but I have a different jar problem.
If I use more than 2 fingers to put a lid back on anything in the fridge...I hear about.

i have a feeling if she ever notices you will mysteriously go missing.
lucky for me i have never been married but lived with ex gf for about a year. i learned not to question what is in all the bottles, just leave her stuff alone and you get to survive.

All those bottles of stuff keep her from smelling like or feeling like a man. It's a small price to pay if you ask me!

No, I don't think it's a gender thing.
One of the reasons I'm called captain torque wrench is no one can open anything after I close it. Plus I've stripped out a shower faucet, 2 kitchen faucet, two oil plugs, all kinds of things.
As far as bathroom products go, the mr is on par, or ahead of me, with numbers of bottles. I have one little corner of the vanity, and one soap dish section of the sink for my contacts and solution...his junk creeps in my space all the time. I have a toothbrush. One, singular toothbrush. He has a tooth tool with a million heads and gadgets.
There is a nice shower caddy. I have a couple of things. he has about equal. But the teenage girls who have decided they can keep their things in there...UGH! They have their own bathroom, and there are two more downstairs, but NO, they have to use ours, and it isn't even the biggest most luxurious bath in the house!
Last week one was showering in there, so I sneaked in and wrote "GET OUT" in the mirror fog, and while it freaked them out, didn't do what I'd hoped.
I have let the cat in the bathroom while they shower. He gets on the tub between the curtain liner and the decorative curtain. He blends in the outer curtain, so it's a surprise when he starts to "play" with the water drops on the inside curtain and usually gets your legs and feet, and sometimes gets in the tub with you to "play" (Showering can be dangerous)
Short of a lock on my door I don't know how to get them out. I will not put additional locks on the interior, I leave internal doors open because of my claustrophobia and anxiety.
Anyway...to the original question. It's either no, it's not a gender thing, or I'm not a real woman.

Just in the shower??? You are lucky. Try salad dressings, ketchup, salsa, etc., etc.
Shampoo
The charming ex had 17 bottles partly full of shampoo. Being very clever, I poured all 17 bottles of thick, syrupy shampoo into one big jug. I then refilled 6 bottles to the bottom of the neck. The shampoo now poured like hot coffee--very runny without any fragrance.
She bought 3 new, different bottles of shampoo. I had enough shampoo to last 4 years. I left the other magic potions alone.
Between the new wife and her daughter's abandoned shampoo, I haven't bought shampoo for 6 years. There are still 2 bottles 7/8 full. Don't talk to me about women and beauty products.
