I haven't been following these "threads," but it seems appropriate, here,
to mention that Deborah Tannen, author of _You Just Don't Understand_ and
_That's Not What I Meant_ had a piece in the New York Times Magazine
several years ago that attempted to explore the unarticulated expressive
meaning communicated by the way women choose clothing to wear in different
situtations.

She denies that men use clothing in the same way as women; but, I belive
she is wrong in this assertion.  It is just that the language and aims are
different.
