A life scene.
Men's gas stations and women's beauty salons are a metaphor for life scenes, which refers to men doing practical, pragmatic work while women do detail-oriented care and beauty work. This metaphor reflects society's division of gender roles and the general understanding of gender characteristics. The men's gas station represents the practical work performed by men, while the women's beauty salon represents the industry concerned with appearance and beauty that women engage in. This metaphor can also be used to describe other aspects of gender differences and the strengths and weaknesses of men and women in different areas.
