The study postulates that men have a purely sexual motivation for consuming fetishistic fashion, yet women, lacking the innate motivation that men in the subculture have, must learn about the meaning of the clothing through media, other subculture members, shopping sites, and other avenues.  Through this learned meaning of the clothing, women come to appreciate what they like and consume the products according to their own values.
