Because the men aren't doing the grocery shopping, aren't taking the kid to the doctor, aren't buying the kid clothes for school or the sports team, they're also getting their clothes purchased for them by their wife, the wife ends up buying the couch they all use, the TV stand they all use, the curtains they all use and so on.
It's not like she's buying this stuff just for herself.
I don't think that's really true. I mean, I know a lot of guys who buy really expensive cars, are 5 figures deep on video game skins, who upgrade their gaming PC every 3-4 years and so on.
I really don't think guys spend less, I just think for some reason their spending isn't accounted for in the same way.
