Having trouble phrasing this, so in case it’s not clear I’m not looking for casual misogyny thanks

Having a debate with a friend about whether men shopping with women can be fun and I’m wondering how coloured my view of this is by me and my ex.

I’d love to hear what makes a great shopping experience for you with your friends or significant others!

    Depends, am I in a women’s only clothing store holding their bags while I’m left alone and trying not to make eye contact with strangers? And then when I want to check out a store that only has things I like I’m told they don’t want to go?

    Or are we shopping in a store or place where there are things for both of us and we can talk to each other about what we’re doing?

      I can relate so much. Have older 2 sisters and only my mom would bring us shopping. Little ol me was dragged to all sorts of girly places I had no desire to be in. So much make up, clothes, bath bombs, fancy soap shops, I wanted to tear my eyes out.
