@shallow-blue saidThe reason is most women are stupid.
Nonsense, for several reasons.
First, many women have a leading role in the fashion industry. Chanel, Versace, Wang... and who has ruled Vogue with an iron fist for decades?
More impotantly, though, women have the most powerful position in women's fashion: they decide what they buy, and what stays on the shelf.
