    This isn’t a gender thing, it’s a working-class thing. Let’s not get divided unnecessarily divided.

      I get what you are saying. But in this context this is kind of like a “dad joke.” Do we think being pedantic about the terminology is really reinforcing some kind of negative gender stereotype here? Or minimizing the working class?

      This is the cycle even for me and I’m independently wealthy. Wealthy as a horse, if you will.

      (I have many leatherbound books.)

      More like a manual labor thing tbh. Plenty of working class folks who are no less working class but don’t need to cycle through clothes

      Yaaaay, my mom never ever throw a shirt, clothes are so expensive, she couldn’t afford a new one every time she does anything that could damage them.

      (Tbh, I do the same for the same reasons)
