>> espadrille, sure, that's a woman's shoe guys might not ever see the word for. But damask? Jacquard? Chenille? Do you not have curtains or a couch? Ironically, Espadrille is the only word on that shortened list I ever heard of... but I think mostly because in my country its definition was expanded - certainly there were tons of Espadrilles for men. That may or many not be universal. Literally Everything else on the purple list... no clue. I do have curtains and a couch. FWIW I am a home owner in my 3rd owned residence (Condo, small house, medium house). I have never ever ever geeked out or cared about their material, by name, so I suppose there's a world still awaiting for me :) Anyhoo, I do feel that the two lists are not symmetrical. It feels that one is fairly clustered around fashion/style/materials, whereas the other, while still having common threads, has technology, science, physics, video games, and nerdery. But is that exposing simply another kind of bias in me? Because the "male" words are familiar to me, I see more diversity in them than the unfamiliar words? Food for thought, but I still think bushido, shemale and terraflops are different categories regardless of gender :D Fwiw, my classification: Aileron - airplanes; howizter, bushido, katana - military; shemale - porn; strafe - FPS/gaming presumably; Yakuza - gangs; boson, milliamp,gauss, piezoelectricity, etc - physics; checksum, teraflop - comsci; parsec... physics, technically, but SciFi, practically :P vs: fashion/clothes/hair: peplum, boucle, ruche, chignon, tulle, chenille, voile, bandeau, kohl,espadrille, whipstitch, sateen, jacquard, damask, chambray Verbena, Fressia - flower pessary, doula - health
