. . . . Just consider the comparatie expenditure on female versus male cosmetics -- nail polish, lipstick, eye liner, hair care products of all description versus aftershave cologne, or the female rainbow of brightly coloured dresses, shoes, handbags, jewelry and other accessories versus the visual tedious sameness of “men in suits.” Fancy females are pretty much cross-cultural universal, with women being consistently more decorated; this calls for explanation, especially because an evolutionary perspective suggests that the cosmetics and fashion industries did not create a demand for female ornamentation so much as respond to it. ~ page 76
