Huh, today I learned my wife is not a woman. Who knew?

But for real, my wife is probably the most minimalist person I know. She lived out of a suitcase for years while traveling, and now between us, I'm the one with electronic knick-knacks while her tastes can only be described as spare.

Maybe instead of making sweeping generalizations about what "women" want, we could acknowledge that people of all genders have different preferences about possessions? Some people feel sentimental about objects, others prioritize mobility, and many fall somewhere in between.

Your moving cost estimate is helpful, but the gender stereotyping doesn't add anything to your point about the economics of moving versus replacing possessions.

> women hate minimalism

Please grant people their individual identity beyond "you belong to the class of women and thus I will treat you as such".

Not going to tell you how to look at your wife, but random people you meet likely deserve more grace than you give them.

> My wife won’t agree though because women hate minimalism they are obsessed with trinkets, do-dads, and Knick-knacks. (see women’s reactions to young men living with only TV and couch meme on the internet)

That’s not minimalism, it’s being a slob. Minimalism implies thought and precision, which is pretty much the opposite of the posts you’re referring to
