Imagine a non-technie, non-libertarian woman has only heard negative things about bitcoin, like the Silk Road saga, and then couple that with the difficulty of securing your currency (to a non-techie). But let's say curiosity gets the better of her and she decides to see what she can actually buy with bitcoin, and all she comes across (for now) is a site that sells outfits like the ones that have so far been suggested or pointed out (http://chicapparel.info/index.php and http://cryptocommodity.org/tats/backsm.jpg). What d'you think she'd think? Do you seriously think she'd be chomping at the bit to get some bitcoin to buy any of these outfits?

Nevermind possibly dubious or niche products, even if it was say some really popular brand of bags/shoes/accessories at discounted rates, most women I know aren't going to jump through the current hoops just to get some bitcoins for an impulse buy when they can get it NOW using a credit card that they can pay later and effectively on installments as well.
