What could explain these gender differences on a "lost & found" item list?
The list in my office details:
•2 items found in women-only areas such as a restroom, zero items found in men-only areas
•5 items specifically denoted as being "women's," zero items specified as "men's"
•6 items that are nearly always limited to use by women, such as earrings, purple/pink clothing... and zero items typically used by only men, such as sports magazines
There are approximately the same number of men & women at my workplace. So what's the deal with the preponderance of women's stuff being lost by the owner, brought by someone else to a lost & found, and remaining at the lost & found without being claimed?

Because women have a much higher variety of items that are excluded from a man's use list.

Women tend to carry around a lot more accessories, and use them more during the day. So they are going to have more chances to misplace them.
Men tend to have a wallet and carkeys, which are rarely taken out of their pockets.

Curious. Maybe women should carry around big bags to help them keep up with their ****.

Men need less stuff, so they lose less stuff and when they lose something, they notice and claim it back
