Male Equality - Target

Target

The other day I stopped at a Target store looking for some things before I headed out for a trip, this was a brand new store and one of the biggest I've visited.

Overall however it was a bit disgusting, the amount of square footage devoted to female apperal and items was staggering, if I had a bit more time I could of had some fun browsing and when I blinked I had missed the male clothing area.

Of course they were gearing up for summer so they had a lot of stuff out for that, but once again all I saw advertised on pool products, outdoor games and other items were females. Only once did I see a picture of a little boy for a singlet designed for flotation (in blue of course)

And don't get me started on the girls section, there must have been six asles devoted to dolls, jewelry, games, dressup, and what not, exasperating to say the least.

Can anyone tell me that with all this as to why females get to shop both sides of the asle while most males bar themselves from the other?

I understand your complaint, I have thought about it before, but that is not true just at Target, that is true in every store across the country. Just look at the women's lingerie section. They have an amazing selection of underwear styles, looks cuts and colors. Wiles us guys get stuck with plain white or other solid colors or worst...some really disgusting, crap looking prints and colors. I think that part of the reason that it's that way, is the fact that women shop more than men.

Since I grew up with only sisters, I'm very comfortable shopping both sides of the isle. I've bought women's jeans in the past. I once bought a few pairs of women's jeans because they were half the price of their male counter part. I wore them and no one ever knew the difference. I've worn women's jeans, shorts, shirts, sweat pants and sweaters. I've never bought any panties, but I've been temped. Some plain pantie briefs look a lot like the guys briefs. But that may be going a little too far. Not the I'm homophobic. I'm too sure of my sexuality for that.
