To your second point, my latest pair of climbing shoes are the women's version. They fit so much better I was able to go a half size up from the previous men's version I owned. So, yes, I feel the difference, and no, I feel no less a man for having done so (to have fun with the joke, lol).

Very interesting article Grayson, Thanks! 

It says that sometime a woman's gear fit better on man, and vice versa, as LL2 did with his shoes and better climbing ;-)
