There's a big difference between purging and preening down a wardrobe. Purging seems to be a reaction to some sort of angst over being a wearer of women's clothing; usually self reflection or some disagreement with a wife. Ridding a wardrobe of ill fitting, out of style, etc clothes is just that; cleaning out the closet. The flip side of the issue is why the heck does one accumulate so much in the first place; retail therapy?
