I don't know what area you live in, but here in Upstate NY (and in most
of the other metropolitan areas of the Northeast I have been in) most
stores are open ~9AM-~9PM.  That's not including all the supermarkets
that are open 24 hours a day.  If stores really are only open 9-5 in
your area, I think they are showing more of a lack of business sense
than an insult to women.
