You’re so right. I may have shopped like a man, but I bought girl food.

You shopped like a man in a grocery story and bought peppermint tea and yogurt?! That’s not man shopping. I’d be embarrassed of my manhood. A man can’t kill peppermint tea and yogurt and bring it home. A man can kill a beer and potato chips, but not peppermint tea.

Of course the hunter will need to rummage as well before he can get on with the tracking.

Dave,

Yep. We’re working on our blind(s). A big piece will be the drives. I’ve lost count of my dead ones. Terabyte drives are suicide bombers for one’s own Big Data, I’m finding out.

Women “shop” (i.e. browse) Men “buy”

Of course the hunter will need to rummage as well before he can get on with the tracking. The question of what’s in season applies to him the same as to the gatherer. So the same image could also be used to explain why there’s no difference between men and women shopping.

Elaborating. Men put *lots* of time into equipping the hunting blind.

These days a properly equipped blind includes a Linux server.

Also a working mouse and several multi-terabyte hard drives.

This is something all true men can relate to.
