This gave me a lot of (pumpkin spice laced) food for thought! I also love fall but do not love PSLs and have had some scorn for the whole pumpkin spice phenomenon, but now it makes more sense. In your list of reasons why women love fall, in my case, I live in FL, so in addition to all those other factors, here it is when the weather finally is livable... So thanks for this wonderfully written piece!
