Much like the insistence that it’s grossly unfair to ask men to cook, clean or care for their children, because their poor little brains can’t handle it, but somehow they’re perfectly capable of running companies and countries.

I’m confused. If these men are so “weak” and unable to control themselves around a teenager, then why are they in power in the first place? Shouldn’t that exempt them from being put into such positions if they can’t stop getting their dicks out and snapping pics?
But you’re likely bored because, though culture wants to popularize the idea that things like a young woman playing on the boy’s team is normalizing, it actually isn’t. It happens once or twice, but it isn’t really happening, and that’s what bores me. We talk about the wage gap, and I work in a place run by women, but…
Maybe it’s a legalese thing? “Sloppy” is basically a code word, and maybe calling him out directly for a documented disorder like alcoholism without the receipts is libel territory.
A tabloid reported that he was spotted at a liquor store with the new girlfriend a week or so ago. He looked great right after he left rehab, but has gone downhill quickly. It’s sad as hell.
This right here. Fabulously sized? Are they fucking kidding? Switching out names but keeping the otherness of the larger sizes is the problem. Just have one dept for women’s clothes. Done.
nightvale means that all the “plus sized” models they have on Project Runway (and honestly, it’s also true of 99% of “plus sized” models I’ve seen generally) are hour glass. So in fact they’re making the same complaint you have: when designers say “plus sized” they mean one very particular body shape, the “if you…
Goodbye, MyFitnessPal.
Yeah, the supreme cheesiness of this moniker does not bode well for the actual clothes. I too imagine sequins, inspirational quote t-shirts and waterfall-front cardigans in every colour of the jewel tone rainbow. Every time I go shopping I become more and more frustrated that plus-size clothing buyers seem to think…
Because having the Kmart label doesn’t make it sound cheap enough.
My guess is that it’s the burden of knowing who he is.
“Fabulously sized” is just so patronizing that when I read the marketing statement, it sounded like this in my head:
All of the plus-size woman are hourglass shaped, too. It’s not like they have to design clothes for women who have different proportions.
It’s an ugly truth, but I wouldn’t be surprised if some brands/clothing were intentionally not made for plus size women because it’s part of their brand to be worn and seen worn by smaller women. It would remind me a little of an Abercrombie interview where one of the owners said something along the lines of, “Our…
TBH I never thought there could be a worse term than plus-sized....
One of my fave Canadian retailers for “work clothes”, Reitmans, integrated their “plus size” section with everything else a year or two ago. It’s fantastic. You just feel like a regular fucking person when you go shopping.
I’m pretty okay with extended sizes, but god is “Fabulously Sized” condescending. I don’t think anyone was mad at plus sized, were they?
As a size 18, I have no emotional baggage at all shopping in the plus size department. I would be absolutely mortified to shop in a Fabulously Sized department.
I’m not “fabulously sized.” I am a fat woman who wears size 18. I just want clothes.
Who ever came up with this is a patronizing idiot.
