I didn't see this article when it came out, but at the same time, I had an interesting conversation with another Medium contributor. I was commenting on how counter productive the excessive fashion was to the cause of feminism.
Her response was that women think differently than men. And there are natural tendencies of both genders to behave in certain ways. I've been thinking about that comment ever since.
How much of our gender behavior comes from those internal mechanisms? How much comes from our culture, which is influenced by consumerism?
You might have different insights on this matter than I .
