Angry Mail order

Why is that when you open one of the multitude of mail order catalogues, about 1/4 of the pages are men's clothing/footwear and the other 3/4 are women and children? Are men not meant to buy mail order? I like remote shopping - it's easy, there are no children, there are no crowds, and there is no stress.

Let me see: you've got: Men, Women, Girls and Boys. What part of getting 25% of space being allocated to Men is unfair exactly?

It's like 2 pages of boxers (awful things) versus 10 pages of knickers. Might as well order some if they're so popular

Re: Mail order

You saying that you don't look through all the womens underwear pages too?

Why else would us men want to look at those books.
