I side with your wife. I cannot imagine myself even in a step through again although I tried one for several month. When I shop at a LBS, I do see a majority of women looking at comfort bike like beach cruiser and here I am at the opposite side of the shop looking at Specialized Roubaix and Cycle Cross.
It is funny at times I will admit. There's this fellow who always accuses me of riding a boy bike (newer Schwinn Letour) and trying to convince me to get a cruiser so that I will sell him my Schwinn.
