i know lots of women in real life who spend a fortune and tons of attention on shoes and fill their closets with them, always on the lookout for more and always working on better ways to store them. to my surprise, my daughter grew up to be one such woman.
me, i'd rather have a new bass or camera than shoes, and i wear vegan athletic shoes or work boots

and speaking of tired old beliefs is the one where women are always neater than men and decorate their homes regardless of personality type. so many authors tell us in so many books that when a woman lives someplace as it feels homey or if a man lives there it's messy and lacking.
c'mon - cleaning / homemaking isn't a genetic predisposition. i have male friends who have beautiful living spaces that they care for themselves and i know women - myself included - who are FAR from suzie homemaker.
