Women live longer after all....
Sure, you see some women with sticks, but they seem to be more a man thing. I don't know why, do you?

Old ladies use those groovy walking frames, not walking sticks.

Sometimes they decorate them with ~~colostomy bags~~ ribbons and bows.

There was this old russian (I guess?) man who used to hobble around my hometown's city centre. Dunno if he was homeless, but he always carried a cane covered in a plastic chain linked with plastic daisies, and um, babies dummies (pacifiers). He wore a big fluffy russian hat and coat all the time.

He'd been a fixture in town my whole childhood/teen life, then one day he just wasn't there anymore :(

I started reading that as a limerick and got annoyed when it didn't rhyme :-/

There was this old Russian, I guess
Don't know if he was home-less
He carried a cane
covered with a chain
His big fluffy hat was a mess

In Ormskirk there is an elderly man who gets everywhere by roller-blading. This is in no way a joke, seriously, crowds gather whenever he passes, he's a local celebrity.

We have to make our own fun, here.

is this claim even true?

traditionally, there maybe something to it, vis-a-vis War Veterans etc., but I doubt there's any significant difference in cane-men vs cane-women anymore.
