I don't understand girl's style

Luke:	[age 9] "I can't believe how long Beth takes to pick out clothes at the store. It's just clothes! I don't understand girl's style at all."
Mom:	"Oh yeah? Who was it who spent hours online looking at sneakers before deciding exactly which pair he wanted?"
Luke:	"That's different."
Mom:	"No, not really."
Luke:	"Shoes serve a purpose. They're for running and athletics and stuff."
Me:	"I'm pretty sure clothes serve a purpose too. We could send you to school in a plastic bag if you disagree."
Luke:	"It's just different!"
Mom:	"Hey, you don't have to be into clothing styles. But you're definitely into shoe styles. It makes as little sense."
Luke:	"You just don't understand shoes."
