Now here is a reversal if I ever did see one. I had not purchased any men's clothes for at least a year. Whenever I go shopping for clothes I these days I go to the women's department and in fact feel quite at ease doing so.
The other day I noticed that most of my t-shirts were threadbare and my male shoes were falling apart. I begrudgingly went off to replace them. While I was wandering in the men's department I felt very uncomfortable, as if I were in some foreign land and I felt like people were staring at me. The feelings were very real. I realized how silly I was being because I am sure that no one was staring at me there anymore than they would in the women's department. I just felt that way.
It is strange how we can get so immersed in this thing that we do that our mental processes start to change. Most perplexing.
