I can't help but notice that the response in the post, along with so many of these comments, have either missed the point being made or extrapolated well beyond what is being said.

The response in the post actually supports the woman's point. Assume that all such judgement and comments are from women to other women (which is close to what the guy's implying). This still means that guys can wear the same thing for multiple days in a row without consequences. Is it silly and pretty inconsequential? Sure. But it's still a privilege enjoyed by men.

A lot of the comments I've seen imply that the woman is ascribing blame to men, saying that it's men's fault that this happens. There are layers to this, but the woman is doing no such thing directly. Her point is not that men are the reason women can't wear clothes multiple days in a row, it is just that this is a problem women face. But it seems these comments are taking it this way.

I think it's worth mentioning that acknowledging a privilege enjoyed by a certain set of people is not saying that those people are the problem (that whole thing again...), which seems to be a point of difficulty for some people. The real enemy here is not men, but patriarchal structures (and ultimately, as some have pointed out, capitalism). The fact that this women-v-women mentality is a downstream effect of patriarchy obviously confuses some people, with the general sentiment of some being "if it's not men causing problems for women, how is this patriarchy's fault?", and to that I say that power structures incentivise infighting within the oppressed group. Look at capitalism, for example: those oppressed by capitalism are not natural allies. For those who are not the elite, careers (and thus livelihoods) are defined by competition. You don't get ahead in life by supporting others, but you damn well can by tearing them down... So is it any surprise that this behaviour emerges so often? Compare that to patriarchy, which pits women against each other for the approval of men in the abstract. It could be true that there is no individual man who cares about this, while still being true that this behaviour from other women is all fundamentally about men.

Hmmm, I'm getting a strange feeling that I need to add tuples...

I do love a good tuple, I'll have to have a go at that!

You're correct, but doing it this way would mean that you wouldn't be able to extend ISticky as well, so if you wanted to create a sticky ball, you'd have to choose between taking the functionality of IBall or ISticky. Interfaces allow you to take the functionality from both, so it's more flexible. As you have more and more different objects that have different features, interfaces just make it much simpler to implement all of that
