First, I would like to thank all of you who have replied. Obviously a lot of thought has gone into what each and every one of you have to say. The answers have gone deep into the inner workings of the male/female mind.
@Phili: The women in the group are SO's to CDers that belong to the social group, therefore, these ladies have a level of acceptance that some CDers do not have with non-accepting SO's. Also, the group is really just a fun, social group. There is no one who claims to be professional enough to deal with deep seated gender issues. To answer your question, from what I can tell, the SO's are trying to understand is the difference between "day to day" goings on between men and women. For the sake of simplicity; both wake up, eat breakfast, get ready for their day (work, school, hobbies, work out, read, relax), buy groceries, eat lunch, more of the same afternoon activities, have dinner, upkeep on the place they live (cleaning, laundry), then many choose an evening activity which may include doing nothing more than TV or going out for a night on the town. Finally, there is sleep. So without the obvious differences in experiences regarding how males and females were raised, they wonder what difference the clothes make. One thing we do all agree on, clothes are the spice of life.
