Leg warmers are sexy. A woman, even if she's walking the dog or doing the dishes, is allowed to wear leg warmers. She can wear them any time she wants. Men say they love cats, but when women aren't looking, men kick cats. Women use garages to park their cars and to store their lawnmowers.
Men use garages for many things.
They hang license plates in garages, and they watch TV in garages, and they build useless lopsided benches in garages. A man can get away with wearing one ring, and that's it. Any more than that, and he will look like a lounge singer named Vic. The nature and degree of the changes varies with the individual. Men see the telephone as a communications tool.
