Ok, tell me this, after what I have to say.


I am 73 years old and I have been with my Alice forever, and I love her to bits.


I am very well domesticated in the everyday duties of a normal day, and have been doing it forever.


Yea, I can cook, clean, wash, vac, and so on, and get the washing in fold it a put it away, cook and clean up, etc., ya know all the stuff that you ladies do.


However, on the last occasion of bringing in the washing and putting it away a thought struck me.

I was folding at least three extra things of normal clothing for Alice than me.


So ladies please tell why do you need three more undies, pants, shirts, jeans, tops and whatever than I do, I know you need Bras, we blokes don’t, so we will discount you for that item


I have one cupboard in the bedroom, that houses all my stuff, and Alice has three, fully packed.
The bathroom is the same, I have one draw with all I need, Alice has tree as well and two small cupboards.


I really don’t care, but is this girl/female thing,
just saying


However remember we still love ya all.

Leon


PS: just a fun debate please, there is nothing personal to anyone intended here.

Hi leon,

Dare I say it, but I think the reason for the difference is the difference in the societal expectations of appearance for men versus women, which are set by many years of history and reinforced by advertising , media and societal circles.

Huge generalisation, by way of example...

To attend a formal, say black tie event, all the men will wear the same or similar tuxedos, so a man has maybe one tuxedo in his wardrobe, for all such events. Ladies however; are "expected" to stand out, in the fashion of the day and to an extent to not wear the same gown their friends saw them in at last years ball. Something like that....

Best
