No, you cannot cater to only the male population

Everything in NYC is smaller to accommodate 8 million + people in not enough space- apartments, grocery stores, dogs.  I was just in my corner market last week which has carts made to hold a maximum of 2 boxes of cereal and aisles that give a whole new meaning to the idea of bumper cars.  When standing in the checkout line I noticed a new convenient little corner set up with goodies galore- 6-packs, bags of chips, Muscle Milk, toothpaste, basically a one-stop-shop for all things unhealthy yet contrastingly necessary.  Not until I saw the sign plastered in the middle of this arrangement did I get perturbed; it had been labeled "The Man Shelf".  I'm no feminist, but I am a girl with lots of things to do and no time to weave in and out of shuffling pedestrians to get my weekly goods.  I would appreciate a section geared towards women as well to keep my trip to a 5 minute max.  You know, the staples- pinot grigio, Wheat Thins, Vitamin Water and tampons.  While we're at it, better throw in a frozen section for that new Ben & Jerry's Greek Frozen Yogurt, clearly that goes hand in hand with the tampons.
