    The men in this story are condescending towards the women.  They think that they, as men, will find the answers they are looking for and the women are there simply to collect Mrs. Wrights belongings.  They think anything the women discuss or might find will be trivial or insignificant.  They make fun of the women talking about things women are interested in, like quilting and making preserves.  The men feel that women are simply an extension of them, with no rights or opinions of their own.  That the women could not possibly even know what a clue was if they were to stumble upon one.  The men don't think to look for clues in the kitchen, because that is a "womans domain" and couldn't possibly have any significance to the case.  The women on the other hand, know that a womans kitchen was the most important room in the house to her and are able to come upon "trifle" clues that let them know what was really going on in the Wright home.
