The most restraint I've ever shown and my thoughts on Women's clothing

I once saw a coat I wanted on line....it wasn't available in my size, so I posted on the website that "I wish this was available in Women's sizes." This brought out a response from someone that was just as unnecessary as it was uneducated by someone. The reply was "I'm a woman and this fits me fine." I didn't reply, but I wanted to point out that the person was a moron because WOMEN'S is an actual category of sizes....not a gender and for this person to post that was not only pointing out how uncaring and cruel they were, but also just plain stupid they were. I didn't reply. I go through every stinking day wishing I had though.
I remember shopping for my daughters and the clothes being so cute.....overly expensive and how things blatantly changed to affordable drabness just on the other side of the isle where my size things were. It was like a punishment to have to look at the adorable sea of things that I got to pay for, but couldn't wear. Its not that I needed to be thinner or that anything was wrong with me either.....its just this crazy notion that we have to separate the adults females from anything lively or energetic and put them by themselves over in this cream colored poncho villa with seventeen types of leggings. WHO decided that every woman over a size 12 needs to show their fat arms off????!!!! I swear...sleeveless shirts and leggings....I just want to punch the buyers for these stores in the face.

I could not help but laugh. However considering "political correctness" and the subsequent increase in the number of genders even shopping for clothes can be complicated aside from having to deal with a moron.
Moron is not an endangered species.
You have answered a question for me. "Why do women wear clothes two sizes to small?" Thank you!
It seems to me a lot of women's clothing, especially the expensive stuff, was designed by gay men who hate women. And whoever thought wearing jeans that are all ripped up looks good must be blind. And green hair?? That was a great idea, just like green eggs.
It was pure torture when the girls were younger. I'd be paying hundreds for all of these things for them and just on the other side of the isle was "my stuff" which was drastically different in every way possible.
Hey, you should try to find a nice pair of stiletto's in size 14. Girl, they look at you like you are crazy!!
You must be the exception to the rule.
Around here in the warm weather, it's a regular gag-fest seeing the way some women dress. Did you know that yoga pants become see-thru when stretched five sizes beyond their limit? 🙈
Buy the drab stuff and tie dye the crap out of it, retro is in.
Never had a problem with size 12. And nothing wrong with making chiclets.
arnt wimmin just xl girls
Look to all the "social" media, slutty, twerking, bimbos !
I have not been clothing shopping with my wife for many years so I have no idea what out there but I do think what you posted has a lot of merit
I have noticed that over the last several years its become more socially acceptable that not every woman is a 110 pound Barbie , and young girls are made to feel bad if they did not fit that category just look at at any recent movies Tv shows commercial's even magazines ( including the adult versions )
I did not want to toss out a number I had read some time ago from memory so I did a quick check
"American women have long been told that the average size is 14. Wrong! It's actually a size 16, reveals a study in the International Journal of Fashion Design, Technology and Education that sheds a major light on how retailers view the term "average.Sep 29, 2016"
Locust Fork- At one time, steel toed work boots were not made with women's sizes. If you had a job that required them, you were playing guessing games on sizes, since a man's 9 is not a woman's 9.
When we first got soft body armor in the PD, there was none made for women. We had to add another set of elastic straps added.
"An unattractive woman can be as thin as she wants and she will still be unattractive. However, an attractive woman can be any size and she is will always be attractive."
I've always thought that was true. I've seen a lot of hefty gals that carried themselves fabulously.....and some skinny girls that needed Jesus.
Kasey "and some skinny girls that needed Jesus."
Or a father that owned a liquer store.
I think many do not take a bath very often. Dirty hair stinks.
Nexr time you are around some women just notice who takes care of their hair. Most are so lazy they bunch it up in a bun. Dot't want a fat woman cuz when I hug her I don't want to find another feller coming around the other side hugging on her.
Remembering the days when "hour glass" figures were the rage and then along came Twiggy!! 😂
I will never understand women's clothing.
And fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain

I'd tell them to piss up the rope!
