I agree. Women dress for themselves not for men. But when you wrote 'androcentric social system' are you sure you didn't mean 'misandrist social system'?
After all, it was 29 men who were killed in a NZ mine doing hard, dirty and dangerous work. Just 29 of the thousands killed each year doing work that women almost never do. Yet all feminists can do is carry on about babies wearing pink clothes.
Really, it would be nice if feminists would just grow up.
And then even people like you call this an androcentric society. Yet those miners almost certainly had insurance which means their families will live very comfortably for the rest of their lives. I'm sure that's how those men would want it but it really shows the difference between the sexes. Men work in dirty and dangerous jobs to support their families happy in the knowledge that if something happens to them their families will be looked after while women just write endless stories about women.
