Not just a male thing! [1]
It might be the case that men are more likely to be collectors/hoarders in general but there definitely are women who partake. I will also say that the type of thing being collected matters. Go to an estate sale for a woman (especially one born before 1960) and you may see collections of dolls, tea services, certain types of paintings, etc.

- Wistar 2y agoI think I made this comment in error. Not sure to what I thought I was responding but it makes no sense.
- lynx23 2y agoIf women get known for their hoarding, its typically for animals, not living things. Which is, if you think about it long enough, a lot more creepy!

- lukan 2y agoRather for shoes, or for clothes.
- kvmet 2y agoDid you misspeak? Animals are generally living things

- fecal_henge 2y agoMost animals are dead.
- block_dagger 2y agoIndeed, most things are gone.
- unixhero 2y agoLonely women are also found to be hoarding trinkets and plastic furniture for a home they don't have and for a family and or relationship they dont have - but hope or think will come in the future.[0] 0, There has been many examples of this on hoarding TV shows and also finance distress aid TV shows (Luksusfellen (NO, DK) Lyxfallan (SE) ).
- ghaff 2y agoI think it's fairly common that people keep/collect/hoard stuff against a future lifestyle that they eventually realize that they don't even want. When my dad was clearing out a former house for an estate sale, I definitely took too much stuff against a day when I would have formal dinner parties like my parents did--but, of course, never did.
- unixhero 2y agoI sadly collected retro computers for when I was going to play them with my old pals. Guess which machines are just collecting dust, after I paid high prices for them. Instead of sadness I just accept it as reality and move on. We have bigger things to do. And of course in my case, for this case, anything old can be emulated and give the same on-screen experience. Okay, I'm a little bit bummed about it.
- walthamstow 2y agoIt's certainly not a male thing, just open any woman's wardrobe.
- appendix-rock 2y agoYup. See also, the massive underdiagnosis of autism in women, especially ‘attractive’ women (I shit you not!). We’re only just now beginning to clear up decades and decades of brushing things off as ‘quirky girl’ traits. Everyone has a grandparent that obsessed over collecting something or other. It’s really just a question of how incidentally racist the collection is :).
- RajT88 2y agoI know a lady hoarder. She would buy lots and lots of thrift shop stuff, some to just have and appreciate, some to use as raw materials for artsy projects. Her father was a computer hoarder. She never saw a parallel there.
- panzagl 2y agoI think GP was referring to 'hoarding media' specifically, not just hoarding in general.
- lippihom 2y agoLooks like one of the shows she recorded was the Oprah Winfrey Show. Wonder if she has a taped copy of the Trump interview from 1988 that seems to have been erased from the internet. https://www.reddit.com/r/DataHoarder/comments/j7l8y5/bounty_1000usd_keeps_updating_help_me_find_the/ https://www.reddit.com/r/DataHoarder/comments/j7l8y5/bounty_....
