My dad was talking about how my uncle sometimes shops and he was saying "He's a woman". What.The.Heck? Sure we typically shop more than guys do, but it's not "just for women". Gosh, that's almost as bad as people saying cooking and cleaning is a "woman" thing.

I went shoe shopping with my guy friend once. He knew where all the good sales were, it was great.

I hate shopping. I just wish I could find what I want fast instead of searching and searching, and walking, and going to other stores, and ugh! i only like going to hot topic, even if i take forever to find what I want, atleast the music is cool, not to mention the place is awesome

It annoys me more when people assume I shop all the time BECAUSE I'm a woman. Shopping bores me, I'd rather be playing video games to be honest....

Ok, let me just say that I don't agree with everything that comes after 'No'. I wish the options were just 'Yes' and 'No'. Why put words in my mouth?

But no, it does not bother me. I can take the jokes, my friends might make a joke but they are rather feministic when it comes to equal right, gender roles etc. And I find that infinite more important.

I am a girl and I dislike shopping.

My dad loves shopping more than me and my mom do.

Generally I would say it's a woman's thing but it's not so much anymore. I have seen a lot of men, young and older shopping. Though, my dad isn't one of those men. But still, it's both.

since women and men are different i don't mind shopping being called a woman's thing. women like to shop and so it seems more suited too us. men shop too but women just tend to enjoy it more. some don't but most do so idc really

It bothers me when someone (especially guys) labels shopping as a female thing. Not all of us shop (I don't) and I know a ton of guys who loves too.

Statistics do show that, on average, women shop more than men, so I guess that's how it came about. I'm not offended by the stereotype, despite not really being one to enjoy shopping myself.

I am, however, bothered by how shopping is often used in media as an activity preferred by overly-superficial female characters. I think the reason it bothers me is because you can bet that if it turned out that men shopped more than women, it would have most likely never been perceived as a stereotypical "shallow person" activity done by people who waste their money on things they don't need. Basically, the "loves to shop" trait is portrayed as negative in society because it's a girl thing, and that's what needs to stop.

How does an errand have a gender....?

And yeah, men love shopping, they just usually don't like to admit it because shopping in our culture has been equated to teenage girls squealing over cute clothes and most men act horrified to be associated with that.
