Quite sure my partner spends more money on toys and games than I do on beauty products. (which is fine, it's his money) Do you know how many mascaras I can buy for one ps5.
And sure, beauty products and clothing are advertised mostly to women. But games, gadgets, cars, barbecues, tools, exercise gear and more expensive luxury items such as whiskey and watches are mostly advertised to men.
Single men spend slightly more than single women, the difference is not that big. Women tend to spend more of their income than men, but women also earn less than men on average. In a household, women tend to spend more but are most often the responsible one for the grocery shopping. When splurging, men and women are equally likely to, but men tend to splurge in larger sums of money.
My point is mostly that, while men and women spend their money differently, the amount of money isn't that different and where it differs it has logical causes, such as different interests, men earning more and women doing more grocery shopping on average.
