confirming stereotype?

i was recently informed that all women buy shoes to deal with stress. i never really considered myself typical of that stereotype... but last sunday, in the midst of my stressful two weeks, i ebayed these. :-D so did i confirm this stereotype? or does ebay not count as shopping? or do doc martens not count as women's shoes? hmm. whatever.. they are my new happy winter boots.
