One day during the holiday season, my uncle wanted to gift his daughter her favorite apparel and he was stared at like a weirdo while shopping in the women's section, mostly by other women. They looked at him as if he was an alien who didnt belong in this world. This begs me to ask the question. Suppose you saw a guy shopping for clothes in the women's section, what thoughts go through your mind.
He is gay or a transgender
He is insane
Perhaps he is buying something for his girlfriend, wife, or daughter.
None of the above
Also, what's so odd with men shopping in the womens section. Women shop in the mens section to buy stuff for their Husbands or sons.
My husband buys me stuff all the time so I wouldn't think anything about it.
My husband actually forces me to go shopping for clothes and he picks most of them out for me and waits while I try them on.
If I don't like the way it looks or fits he goes and finds something else and brings it to the dressing room for me and waits until I try the latest outfit on.
Unless this man was doing something odd while he was shopping maybe he thought people were looking at him cause he felt uncomfortable.
He was buying a coat for his daughter from southern California. She visited during the holiday season, did not have anything warm enough to fight the cold, and requested a winter coat because there were none heavy enough sold in the stores there.
I find it ridiculous that anyone would be staring at him. There is nothing odd about a man shopping in the women's section. I would assume he was shopping for a gift, I'd never give it a second thought unless he looked confused or uncomfortable in which case I would hope an employee would help him out.
Good to see there are some same people left in this world.
I would not think anything one way or another. There is a local man who dresses like a woman in skirts and heels. He looks silly, but, I suppose he enjoys it.

Ditto. For years I shopped for my mother, aunts, etc. in the women's section, and it never occurred to me that anyone was looking at me as if it were odd for a man to be shopping there. I never had the slightest sense that I was conspicuous in some way or out of place.
Perhaps this reflects a change in mores. I have to say that I am bemused repeatedly by what is considered not masculine in this forum, and it happens so often that I have to at least entertain the idea that social attitudes about masculinity may have become more rigid and I have just been blind to the change.
