I don’t know why, but I always have this mental image of people who identify as male/masculine to just have their living spaces look like a dumpster (okay maybe its a bit hyperbole, not a literal dumpster, but you know what I mean), while people who identify as female/feminine to be extra tidy? (Perhaps its mainstream media’s portrayal affecting my subconscious?) Is this actually true?
Sorry if this sounds offensive, I don’t mean it that way.
The extra cleaning in hostel environments could also be attributed to defensive nature, some men I knew kept tidy because kleptomania was around.
