My choice or is it Man choice?

The wife asked me to join her for business lunch with potential client. I was only meant to be the muscle in case this person was a sketchy character. We'll I didn't bring much entertainment so as we waited for this I guy I grabbed a couple magazines. Lo behold out of the stack to choose from there was only two "male" centric choices. Everything else was either home, Hollywood or fashion. Well I go for what I like and she makes the comment that I had to pick girl magazines. Once again I'm restricted to be who I am. I understand I loose out on man point by looking at this and if this guy we were about to meet was any threat then his first impression of me would be belittling. I'm just once again force by these roles in order maintain balance in the cosmos.
