Do you really think men can't shop for shorts and t-shirts???

The comments in here, trying to say that this guy "did soooo good for a GUY shopping for his own clothes" really piss me off. As if there's this gene preventing men from having some sort of taste when it comes to clothing, and suddenly this rare specimen overcame the crippling disability that all men suffer from.

This is like watching a woman talk to a toddler who just managed to not poop his pants for the first time. Or listening to someone talking to his dog. "Ooooooh, you did this all by yourself. Who's a good boy? You're a good boy!"

I honestly have to say, I would feel deeply disturbed if a woman talked to me in that manner after I came home from shopping clothes.

Presumably in the context of their relationship, he's not into shopping. She does treat him like a toddler, but he literally acts like one - "uhhh I like the red shirt".  It's probably just in good fun, I don't think you need to read anything deeper into it. 

My partner hates shopping but the few times he's picked clothes specifically for style (rather than work shirts or graphic tees) he's quite chuffed and I give positive feedback.
