“males in the greater society are much more into fashion than was true historically”
Perhaps. But not to the extent that they surpass the women. Unless you factor in a certain “subset” of males in the greater society).
For the most part, the greater society’s men are into pro sports. Not clothing.
Lets use mid-manhattan as an example. How many stores cater to women only? (Clothing, perfume, accessories). How many cater to men only? And in the stores that cater to both (like Gap, or Old Navy) how much of the floorspace is for men, and how much is for women?
Same goes for malls. Its a woman’s world when you’re talking fashion (in the greater society, that is).
BTW – I love that phrase; Greater society. Sounds so much more pc than “the goyishe velt”. I’m gonna try to use that going forward.
