Well, you know what the stereotype is about women in Silicon Valley high tech companies & their sock needs… (Incidentally, when I wrote a sock-themed essay, which was really not about socks, I was surprised how many strong opinions on sock brands people had, and how expensive socks could be.)
If you don’t like the example ‘buy socks’, perhaps one can replace it with real-world examples like spending all one’s free time knitting sweaters for penguins. (With the rise of Ravelry and other things, knitting is more popular than it has been in a long time.)
