Their responsive design is very grid based and they organized the sets into the
three pars; adults, kids, toddlers. There is no plus men's category so this sing
le category either had to take up two grid positions or go to the bottom as a si
ngle grid otherwise it would mess up their side by side organization. Regardless
sure the designers thought "shit, this looks bad"

A Canadian is born in the midst of a long and cold winter's night, when the spir
its of Moose and Beaver are taken by Grandfather Maple to a hockey rink. If Moos
e out scores Beaver, a boy is born. If Beaver beats Moose, a girl is born. Then
Grandfather Maple takes the child to Seal Fur Woman, who teaches the child its n
ame, the Canadian national anthem, and bestows upon it a love of gravy on French
fries. After that, a worthy Canadian couple, who have proven themselves fortudi
nous by surviving the harsh winter and Stephen Harper's roaming squad of attack
kittens in sweater vests, apologized profusely for all the fuss and is allowed t
o adopt the child from Grandfather Maple.

Another possibility is that the plus size girl would fill the entirety of the fr
ame in the normal grid size, making her size easier to compare to the other grid
s, and by comparison actually appear larger than she really is.
By giving her a larger frame size, and thus more white space on each side, it co
uld have a bit of a slimming effect compared to the others.
Not sure how well all that works though here, just some design theory i pulled o
ut of my ass.

I'm no expert, but my guess is that it has something to do with women's style be
ing tighter fitting. Whereas the relatively loose fitting pants worn by men can
accommodate legs of varying widths, with only the waist and length varying great
ly, the tight fitting pants worn by women are far less versatile. It's not hard
to imagine how manufacturing clothes for women is far more costly than it is for
men. Considering this along with the greater demand among the fairer sex for st
ylish clothing, I think we arrive at at least a plausible explanation for why th
ere is a women's plus and not a men's plus.

That's not true. They tried to set up women's clothing like mens, back in the 20
s. Thing is, men are built similarly - triangle - and are able to use the waist/
length method for purchasing off the rack.
When they did the same for women, it didn't work. The difference in body shape f
or a woman who carries in her stomach versus her ass is night and day. It also d
oesn't help that men wear 2 pieces always, whereas women (especially then) wore
a lot of dresses.
But it doesn't have to do with "getting away with" - they did try to standardize
the women's size.

Well, some 3/4 of their merchandise is for women(this includes female children)
anyway, not that I really give a fuck because I mainly wear jeans and tshirts an
yway.
Would I like a few more options? Yes. Is there much of a market in that one stor
e for those options, probably not- a quick look at the closets of every female r
elative of mine shows that they each have at least 3x the amount of clothing by
volume as me, going much longer before they "cycle through". Most of them are bu
ying these clothes of their own accord, so it stands to reason that it's not as
profitable under the current system to stock as much clothing for men as women.

I make ON promo emails and they usually make W doublewide since it gets the most

However in this case, it looks like this was based off the same layout as the US

to disturb the layout for the canada version too much so just made WP doublewid
e.

I read a very interesting research study conducted by a state board of health an
d education that concluded that obese individuals, once they've lost a majority
of their excess weight (through diet snd exercise - aka the healthy, progressive
way) are 55-65% less likely to experience depression symptoms; 80-92% reported

overall quality of life improvements that they called very significant.


Probably common sense, but hearing those numbers may act as a motivator for you!
:) it's the new year, may be a good time to commit to a healthy diet and minima
l exercise (diet is actually the most important - check out the fitness subReddi
t!)

Is it actually true that men's bodies don't vary as much as women's?
permalinkparent
[ ]PigDog4 15 points 6 hours ago
Well, men don't have boobs, so that helps reduce body variations.
Other than that, men generally care about the "drop" between shoulders and waist
. This can vary a lot between fat guys, skinny-fat guys, lean athletic guys, and
built guys. I'm almost at the point where even "athletic" cuts don't quite have
enough drop and look kind of billowy on me, and I'm not even built. Actually bi
g dudes need to get almost everything tailored so it doesn't look like you're we
aring a garbage bag.

[ ]Tonkarz 5 points 6 hours ago
Women have relative variations in circumference around their boobs, waist and hi
ps. There's also variations in hips vs leg length.
Whereas men, if they are wider or longer around one of these areas, they are gen
erally wider or longer around all three.
Generally speaking, there are exceptions.

This is not probably not enough to explain all of the size difference in terms o
f men's clothing vs women's clothing, but it's certainly a factor.

[ ]Cubelord 3 points 6 hours ago
I don't really know if there's a way to quantitatively answer that question.
Maybe standard deviation of men's waist/inseam/whatever vs. women's. But I don't
know if those kind of statistics are out there.
Anecdotally men's sizes are generally S/M/L/XL and then you add a few X's for th
e really big dudes. Whereas I doubt that any two girls who both wear a size 4 dr
ess look very similar in terms of body shape.

Correct, many many upscale stores do not offer larger sizes for women, and imo i
t's a financial decision on their part, nothing more. It works the other way too
. When I shopped at Walmart, they did not have women's dress slacks in my size b
ecause I was too small. Women my size don't shop at (that) Walmart often enough
to make it worth carrying a size smaller than 6. Also, they didn't sell dress sl
acks for little girls, so I had to purchase little boy's dress slacks. Normally
I don't buy dress slacks at Walmart but I had a... pants emergency.

That basically is why there are separate garments in each section. There are som

They're separate for the sake of ease in shopping.

6'8" chubby guy here. Mens sections RARELY have over XL size shirts, and they NE
VER, EVER, EVER have 2XL AND tall styles. I can get a 3XL shirt and have it be 3
feet too wide, BUT have the length for the shirt to cover my freaking stomach,
OR go with a nicer-fitting 2XL and look like a belly-dancer.
It doesn't matter overall though, because 99% of stores, as I said, don't go ove
r XL.
And don't you even fucking get me started on shoes.. the pair I have right now h

process of having shoes shipped to you to try them on, and ship them back when
they aren't good enough just to order another pair to try (And yes I can just or

Typical stores have 4 sizes of mens shirts (S-XL) and an assortment of pants usu
ally ranging from 28-40 waist and 30-38 inseam with an assortment of combination
s of waist/inseam with some styles that change the fit.
When you get into larger sizes they just start adding X's. I've litterally seen
"XXXXXL" printed on a tag, and I held up the shirt and it was about the size of
a bed sheet. It was right next to the M-L shirts I was shopping for, they were j
ust out of the sizes in-between.
Women don't want this setup. They don't want to see their XXXXXL equivalent next
to a XS/S/M shirt because they can see the discrepancy. They want to be guided
to their section where things fit, and see all the other clothes that are close
to the size they can fit into. It falls right into the vanity sizing mindset for
women's clothes.
I'll put it this way. Would you rather be told you're a 4XL or that you're a Rel
axed Fit Medium? Guys generally don't care, and women do. Which is why they call
it out that way.

It's frustrating that "vanity sizing" has crept over to men's clothing. It used
to be so easy to find a pair of pants that fit. Once I knew my inseam and waist
size, I could pick out a pair without even having to try it on. Now, I have to g
o to the fitting room with tower of jeans ranging in size from 28x30 to 34x32 ju
st to find something that fits right - and every brand is different so it's not
like you can just count on the size you got last time.
The whole point of putting numbers on the jeans was to make shopping easy! I'm a
man. I don't care if my clothes literally call me a fat ass while I put them on
if it means I can be in and out of the store in five minutes!

en's clothing that are plus sizes actually fit quite differently so you can't ju
st get the same style and add a few inches here and there and hope it looks good
. Girls who wear plus sizes are looking for different styles as well. Women's cl
othing have much more variety in styles where as men's sections are pretty much
shirts and pants.

I really don't get it. I think big dudes need to lose weight just as much as I t

But on a more serious note: being overweight is bad for you. Especially later in
life. My great-aunt spent her last 15 years more or less unable to leave home.
My grandmother has hit the same problem. And now I'm worried that my mother is s
tarting to gain a lot of weight as she gets close to her 60s, and looking at wha
t she eats, it's blatantly obvious as to why. I'm not hating on my mother. But I
wish she would eat less and carry out a more healthy life-style especially beca
use she knows very well how miserable her own aunts later years were. If all thr
ee examples here were women, it's merely coincidence. My father is still thin as
a rake and still very active, as was his, and my grandfather on my mothers side
passed long ago.
If someone in our family is overweight we should try to help them, and if we are
ourselves, we should accept help offered.

Hey, as someone with PTSD I can explain what a trigger is like for me. I can be
just going about my business and I might smell something that reminds me of the
incident, and suddenly I'll be right back there feeling trapped and scared and a
nxious. Fight or flight kicks in. There are images of it happening in my mind. I
can't control it. And that's probably minor compared to what other people with
PTSD can experience.
Genuine triggers are awful. Purposely triggering someone (people actually do tha
t) is a fucking shitty thing to do. I think tumblr has trivialised the term "tri
gger" to the point where people with PTSD don't get taken seriously because they
get lumped in with the ones who take advantage of the term.
There should be a new term for PTSD survivors. "Trigger warning" has been corrup
ted. It's too vague. Something like "flashback warning" would be better.
People with PTSD genuinely need trigger (or flashback) warnings, it's not a joke
. A bad trigger can push someone over the edge.

Fat men will generally look fine in the same clothes as skinny men, provided the

Men get a small range of sizes, and mostly terrible fitting clothing; women get
a much larger amount of sizes and two separate sections for the larger and the s
maller. Just chill out and try to see it from other perspectives besides just yo
ur own. I mean have you seen how ill-fitting clothing is for men unless they buy
specialty or get it tailored? We have S, M, L, XL, XXL, XXXL. And if you're not
one of those specific measurements that define one of the 6 main sizes, then yo
u're going to be between them and either have way too tight clothing, or way too
loose clothing. Take it from a guy who grew up constantly in-between sizes and
looking fat in everything. Oh and if you're too embarassed to shop for larger cl
othing, then you're just perpetuating "fat-shaming" and not practicing what you
preach about body pride. Don't like shopping for bigger clothes? Put in the work

to make your body smaller or get over it.

Fat men also have more variety at standard stores. I've seen Old Navy push well
into the high 40 waists.
The problem is that it's a double standard. There is an infinitely higher bias t
oward overweight women than overweight men.
Both lifestyles are unhealthy, but unless you've been a fatty you don't understa
nd the struggle it takes to get away from there.
Food is a fucker and is an easy, shitty solution to many problems. I've been gui
lty for eating my feelings, especially those times where my weight has already b
een high. It's a lot easier to grab a DQ blizzard than it is to pull yourself up
and go get help.
It's taken me almost 40 years to change my mindset into a healthy one. I fucking
loved food. It's not an easy shift, especially if you've been raised to eat unh
ealthy.
Like when I quit smoking, it had to come from inside. And one thing I can tell y
ou is alienating overweight people isn't the solution. Pretending it doesn't exi
st or basically funnelling overweight people into "fat" stores also doesn't help
. It doesn't do great things to ones self esteem to have to go out of your way a
nd shop at these kinds of stores.

I find that the problem with food obsession/binging is somewhat different to mos

I didn't really want to respond, but this really bothered me. It's very narrow v
iew.
It's not always a matter of campaigning for an unhealthy lifestyle. You have to
dress for the body you have.
Shopping at a Big & Tall is a much different experience than shopping at stores
specifically targeted at plus size women (although options have improved greatly
for them over the years.) Many of thedr specialty stores have been known to cat
er towards an older demographic. The reality is there are younger women who are
plus size that want to wear the same trends their friends are wearing (prints, c
olors, silhouettes.) Just because a woman is a size 20 does not mean she only wa
nts to wear leopard prints and ruffles.
Also, keep in mind men's fashion and women's fashion are judged on different spe
ctrums. For instance, the male anchor who wore the same suit for a year.
Yes, obesity is an epidemic in America, but that doesn't mean they should be mar
ginalized.
Clothing is a fun means of expression for many people. If a person wants to patr
on a store and that store wants to cater to them what does it matter?

I never really thought about that. It sort of does show the difference in how of

as there are people who fit the big+tall category, so that'll probably never ha

EDIT: I feel like I'm working at Old Navy again.
Double Edit: I've never seen a Big and Tall store that carries pants that are 30

I think you're ignoring the many brands and stores catering to plus-size women,
which are much more common than big and tall stores for men, BTW.

[ ]robshookphoto 68 points 6 hours ago
What is this shit? How is "women's plus" any different than "big and tall?" "Big
and tall" is MORE of a euphemism.
You're also completely ignoring stores like "Lane Bryant."
The eagerness to upvote anything vaguely "mensrights" or fat shaming related is
disgusting.

[ ]Tysonzero 8 points 5 hours ago
I don't see how you could argue it is MORE of a euphemism.
Plus size seems like more of a euphemism than big. And tall isn't a substitution
for anything, unless you would prefer they use the term "lamppost" to make sure
they aren't overusing euphemisms.

The weird part is, Old Navy DOES have a "Big and Tall" selection in their mens c
lothing, but you don't really see it until you click on the item you want to buy
.
But the womens stuff is separated out as a whole new category of "Womens Plus"
permalink
[ ]queenbrewer 21 points 5 hours ago
I think this is partially because plus sized women's clothing needs to be design
ed more differently than plus sized men's clothing, which usually is just larger
cuts of the same styles.

Yeah, most plus size models are heavy compared to regular models, but very propo

don't usually look like that.
permalinkparent
[ ]riggorous 3 points 2 hours ago
Plus models are typically 6 foot size 12's. That's in no way obese. Indeed, tall
women wearing the lower end of plus sizes aren't likely to be obese.

Old navy has been getting some negative lime light over their plus side clothing

I get why plus sizes get there own category. If a big girl is checking out a sto
re for the first time, they want to know quickly if they might have something in
their size. That doesn't really explain why their category is wider on that pag
e...
Guys, look at it like this. You go to a parts web site looking for a distributor
for your '53 Hudson Hornet. Would you rather sift through all of the distributo
rs before you discover that they only carry Ford and Chevy parts? Nope, you want
to see a link to "Hudson engine parts" and get down to business. No mention of
Hudson, you go to the next site.
My wife is a big girl and she gets damn frustrated when she sees something she l
ikes, chooses a color and then finds that it isn't available in plus size.
Before you give women too much shit about "enabling an unhealthy lifestyle" you
should also understand that in the clothing industry 'plus size' does not necess
arily mean 400lb folks.

The only legitimate reason I can think of is that the majority of Old Navy custo
mers are plus sized women. Whenever we get a shipment of a product, there are al
most double the amount of larger sizes. Maybe they were trying to give more obvi
ous access to clothing for their (literally) biggest consumer. Gap Inc is usuall
y very literal with their advertisment (eg. Gap toothed women as models for a lo
t of their posters)

It's all marketing. Nothing else would match well with "women's plus" (except if

Another possibility is that the plus size girl would fill the entirety of the fr

s, and by comparison actually appear larger than she really is.
By giving her a larger frame size, and thus more white space on each side, it co
uld have a bit of a slimming effect compared to the others.

I'm no expert, but my guess is that it has something to do with women's style be
ing tighter fitting. Whereas the relatively loose fitting pants worn by men can
accommodate legs of varying widths, with only the waist and length varying great
ly, the tight fitting pants worn by women are far less versatile. It's not hard
to imagine how manufacturing clothes for women is far more costly than it is for

men. Considering this along with the greater demand among the fairer sex for st
ylish clothing, I think we arrive at at least a plausible explanation for why th
ere is a women's plus and not a men's plus.

That's not true. They tried to set up women's clothing like mens, back in the 20
s. Thing is, men are built similarly - triangle - and are able to use the waist/
length method for purchasing off the rack.
When they did the same for women, it didn't work. The difference in body shape f
or a woman who carries in her stomach versus her ass is night and day. It also d
oesn't help that men wear 2 pieces always, whereas women (especially then) wore
a lot of dresses.
But it doesn't have to do with "getting away with" - they did try to standardize

the women's size.

Would I like a few more options? Yes. Is there much of a market in that one stor

elative of mine shows that they each have at least 3x the amount of clothing by
volume as me, going much longer before they "cycle through". Most of them are bu

Well, men don't have boobs, so that helps reduce body variations.
Other than that, men generally care about the "drop" between shoulders and waist

built guys. I'm almost at the point where even "athletic" cuts don't quite have
enough drop and look kind of billowy on me, and I'm not even built. Actually bi

Women have relative variations in circumference around their boobs, waist and hi
ps. There's also variations in hips vs leg length.
Whereas men, if they are wider or longer around one of these areas, they are gen
erally wider or longer around all three.
Generally speaking, there are exceptions.
This is not probably not enough to explain all of the size difference in terms o

ecause I was too small. Women my size don't shop at (that) Walmart often enough
to make it worth carrying a size smaller than 6. Also, they didn't sell dress sl
acks for little girls, so I had to purchase little boy's dress slacks. Normally
I don't buy dress slacks at Walmart but I had a... pants emergency.

That basically is why there are separate garments in each section. There are som
e crossover garments that are available in XS through whatever number of XL, but
not all regular ones can be cut to suit a larger frame. So there's a separate s
election.
They're separate for the sake of ease in shopping.

6'8" chubby guy here. Mens sections RARELY have over XL size shirts, and they NE
VER, EVER, EVER have 2XL AND tall styles. I can get a 3XL shirt and have it be 3
feet too wide, BUT have the length for the shirt to cover my freaking stomach,
OR go with a nicer-fitting 2XL and look like a belly-dancer.
It doesn't matter overall though, because 99% of stores, as I said, don't go ove
r XL.
And don't you even fucking get me started on shoes.. the pair I have right now h
ave holes in them because I just simply don't want to go through the months-long
process of having shoes shipped to you to try them on, and ship them back when
they aren't good enough just to order another pair to try (And yes I can just or
der many pairs in bulk at once and ship back the rest you don't want, but compan
ies hate this and will try and fuck you over if you do this to them in my experi
ence.. "Oh, you want to order 15 pairs and send back 14!? yeah thats a restockin

Typical stores have 4 sizes of mens shirts (S-XL) and an assortment of pants usu
ally ranging from 28-40 waist and 30-38 inseam with an assortment of combination
s of waist/inseam with some styles that change the fit.
When you get into larger sizes they just start adding X's. I've litterally seen
"XXXXXL" printed on a tag, and I held up the shirt and it was about the size of
a bed sheet. It was right next to the M-L shirts I was shopping for, they were j
ust out of the sizes in-between.
Women don't want this setup. They don't want to see their XXXXXL equivalent next
to a XS/S/M shirt because they can see the discrepancy. They want to be guided
to their section where things fit, and see all the other clothes that are close
to the size they can fit into. It falls right into the vanity sizing mindset for
women's clothes.
I'll put it this way. Would you rather be told you're a 4XL or that you're a Rel
axed Fit Medium? Guys generally don't care, and women do. Which is why they call
it out that way.

It's frustrating that "vanity sizing" has crept over to men's clothing. It used
to be so easy to find a pair of pants that fit. Once I knew my inseam and waist
size, I could pick out a pair without even having to try it on. Now, I have to g
o to the fitting room with tower of jeans ranging in size from 28x30 to 34x32 ju
st to find something that fits right - and every brand is different so it's not
like you can just count on the size you got last time.
The whole point of putting numbers on the jeans was to make shopping easy! I'm a
man. I don't care if my clothes literally call me a fat ass while I put them on
if it means I can be in and out of the store in five minutes!

I used to be a buyer in women's fashion so I can explain this quite easily. Ther

l medium and large for the most part because it's cheaper to produce them that w
ay. By adding in another size you're adding a huge amount of inventory. Also wom
en's clothing that are plus sizes actually fit quite differently so you can't ju
st get the same style and add a few inches here and there and hope it looks good
. Girls who wear plus sizes are looking for different styles as well. Women's cl

shirts and pants.

I really don't get it. I think big dudes need to lose weight just as much as I t
hink big women do. I suppose I discriminate equally.
But on a more serious note: being overweight is bad for you. Especially later in
life. My great-aunt spent her last 15 years more or less unable to leave home.
My grandmother has hit the same problem. And now I'm worried that my mother is s
tarting to gain a lot of weight as she gets close to her 60s, and looking at wha
t she eats, it's blatantly obvious as to why. I'm not hating on my mother. But I
wish she would eat less and carry out a more healthy life-style especially beca
use she knows very well how miserable her own aunts later years were. If all thr
ee examples here were women, it's merely coincidence. My father is still thin as
a rake and still very active, as was his, and my grandfather on my mothers side
passed long ago.
If someone in our family is overweight we should try to help them, and if we are
ourselves, we should accept help offered.

When something, whether it be words, images, a person, etc... causes (triggers)
someone to re-experience a traumatic memory. Example: rape victims sometimes bec

Hey, as someone with PTSD I can explain what a trigger is like for me. I can be
just going about my business and I might smell something that reminds me of the
incident, and suddenly I'll be right back there feeling trapped and scared and a
nxious. Fight or flight kicks in. There are images of it happening in my mind. I
can't control it. And that's probably minor compared to what other people with
PTSD can experience.
Genuine triggers are awful. Purposely triggering someone (people actually do tha
t) is a fucking shitty thing to do. I think tumblr has trivialised the term "tri
gger" to the point where people with PTSD don't get taken seriously because they
get lumped in with the ones who take advantage of the term.
There should be a new term for PTSD survivors. "Trigger warning" has been corrup
ted. It's too vague. Something like "flashback warning" would be better.
People with PTSD genuinely need trigger (or flashback) warnings, it's not a joke
. A bad trigger can push someone over the edge.

Fat men will generally look fine in the same clothes as skinny men, provided the

Men get a small range of sizes, and mostly terrible fitting clothing; women get
a much larger amount of sizes and two separate sections for the larger and the s
maller. Just chill out and try to see it from other perspectives besides just yo
ur own. I mean have you seen how ill-fitting clothing is for men unless they buy
specialty or get it tailored? We have S, M, L, XL, XXL, XXXL. And if you're not
one of those specific measurements that define one of the 6 main sizes, then yo
u're going to be between them and either have way too tight clothing, or way too
loose clothing. Take it from a guy who grew up constantly in-between sizes and
looking fat in everything. Oh and if you're too embarassed to shop for larger cl
othing, then you're just perpetuating "fat-shaming" and not practicing what you
preach about body pride. Don't like shopping for bigger clothes? Put in the work
to make your body smaller or get over it.

Fat men also have more variety at standard stores. I've seen Old Navy push well
into the high 40 waists.
The problem is that it's a double standard. There is an infinitely higher bias t
oward overweight women than overweight men.
Both lifestyles are unhealthy, but unless you've been a fatty you don't understa
nd the struggle it takes to get away from there.
Food is a fucker and is an easy, shitty solution to many problems. I've been gui
lty for eating my feelings, especially those times where my weight has already b
een high. It's a lot easier to grab a DQ blizzard than it is to pull yourself up
and go get help.
It's taken me almost 40 years to change my mindset into a healthy one. I fucking
loved food. It's not an easy shift, especially if you've been raised to eat unh

ealthy.
Like when I quit smoking, it had to come from inside. And one thing I can tell y
ou is alienating overweight people isn't the solution. Pretending it doesn't exi
st or basically funnelling overweight people into "fat" stores also doesn't help
. It doesn't do great things to ones self esteem to have to go out of your way a
nd shop at these kinds of stores.

I find that the problem with food obsession/binging is somewhat different to mos

I didn't really want to respond, but this really bothered me. It's very narrow v

It's not always a matter of campaigning for an unhealthy lifestyle. You have to
dress for the body you have.
Shopping at a Big & Tall is a much different experience than shopping at stores
specifically targeted at plus size women (although options have improved greatly
for them over the years.) Many of thedr specialty stores have been known to cat
er towards an older demographic. The reality is there are younger women who are
plus size that want to wear the same trends their friends are wearing (prints, c
olors, silhouettes.) Just because a woman is a size 20 does not mean she only wa
nts to wear leopard prints and ruffles.
Also, keep in mind men's fashion and women's fashion are judged on different spe
ctrums. For instance, the male anchor who wore the same suit for a year.
Yes, obesity is an epidemic in America, but that doesn't mean they should be mar
ginalized.
Clothing is a fun means of expression for many people. If a person wants to patr
on a store and that store wants to cater to them what does it matter?

Double Edit: I've never seen a Big and Tall store that carries pants that are 30

I get why plus sizes get there own category. If a big girl is checking out a sto
re for the first time, they want to know quickly if they might have something in
their size. That doesn't really explain why their category is wider on that pag
e...

Guys, look at it like this. You go to a parts web site looking for a distributor
for your '53 Hudson Hornet. Would you rather sift through all of the distributo
rs before you discover that they only carry Ford and Chevy parts? Nope, you want
to see a link to "Hudson engine parts" and get down to business. No mention of
Hudson, you go to the next site.
My wife is a big girl and she gets damn frustrated when she sees something she l
ikes, chooses a color and then finds that it isn't available in plus size.
Before you give women too much shit about "enabling an unhealthy lifestyle" you
should also understand that in the clothing industry 'plus size' does not necess
arily mean 400lb folks.

The only legitimate reason I can think of is that the majority of Old Navy custo
mers are plus sized women. Whenever we get a shipment of a product, there are al
most double the amount of larger sizes. Maybe they were trying to give more obvi
ous access to clothing for their (literally) biggest consumer. Gap Inc is usuall
y very literal with their advertisment (eg. Gap toothed women as models for a lo
t of their posters)

It's all marketing. Nothing else would match well with "women's plus" (except if
there was a "men's plus") Regardless, it's matched by pairs. "Man" and "women"
look better side by side than "man" and "women's plus".

A Canadian is born in the midst of a long and cold winter's night, when the spir
its of Moose and Beaver are taken by Grandfather Maple to a hockey rink. If Moos
e out scores Beaver, a boy is born. If Beaver beats Moose, a girl is born. Then
Grandfather Maple takes the child to Seal Fur Woman, who teaches the child its n
ame, the Canadian national anthem, and bestows upon it a love of gravy on French
fries. After that, a worthy Canadian couple, who have proven themselves fortudi
nous by surviving the harsh winter and Stephen Harper's roaming squad of attack
kittens in sweater vests, apologized profusely for all the fuss and is allowed t

Another possibility is that the plus size girl would fill the entirety of the fr

s, and by comparison actually appear larger than she really is.
By giving her a larger frame size, and thus more white space on each side, it co
uld have a bit of a slimming effect compared to the others.
Not sure how well all that works though here, just some design theory i pulled o

I'm no expert, but my guess is that it has something to do with women's style be
ing tighter fitting. Whereas the relatively loose fitting pants worn by men can
accommodate legs of varying widths, with only the waist and length varying great
ly, the tight fitting pants worn by women are far less versatile. It's not hard
to imagine how manufacturing clothes for women is far more costly than it is for
men. Considering this along with the greater demand among the fairer sex for st
ylish clothing, I think we arrive at at least a plausible explanation for why th
ere is a women's plus and not a men's plus.

That's not true. They tried to set up women's clothing like mens, back in the 20
s. Thing is, men are built similarly - triangle - and are able to use the waist/
length method for purchasing off the rack.
When they did the same for women, it didn't work. The difference in body shape f
or a woman who carries in her stomach versus her ass is night and day. It also d
oesn't help that men wear 2 pieces always, whereas women (especially then) wore
a lot of dresses.
But it doesn't have to do with "getting away with" - they did try to standardize

Well, men don't have boobs, so that helps reduce body variations.
Other than that, men generally care about the "drop" between shoulders and waist

built guys. I'm almost at the point where even "athletic" cuts don't quite have
enough drop and look kind of billowy on me, and I'm not even built. Actually bi

Women have relative variations in circumference around their boobs, waist and hi
ps. There's also variations in hips vs leg length.
Whereas men, if they are wider or longer around one of these areas, they are gen
erally wider or longer around all three.
Generally speaking, there are exceptions.
This is not probably not enough to explain all of the size difference in terms o
f men's clothing vs women's clothing, but it's certainly a factor.

Anecdotally men's sizes are generally S/M/L/XL and then you add a few X's for th

Typical stores have 4 sizes of mens shirts (S-XL) and an assortment of pants usu
ally ranging from 28-40 waist and 30-38 inseam with an assortment of combination
s of waist/inseam with some styles that change the fit.
When you get into larger sizes they just start adding X's. I've litterally seen
"XXXXXL" printed on a tag, and I held up the shirt and it was about the size of
a bed sheet. It was right next to the M-L shirts I was shopping for, they were j
ust out of the sizes in-between.
Women don't want this setup. They don't want to see their XXXXXL equivalent next
to a XS/S/M shirt because they can see the discrepancy. They want to be guided
to their section where things fit, and see all the other clothes that are close
to the size they can fit into. It falls right into the vanity sizing mindset for
women's clothes.
I'll put it this way. Would you rather be told you're a 4XL or that you're a Rel
axed Fit Medium? Guys generally don't care, and women do. Which is why they call
it out that way.

The whole point of putting numbers on the jeans was to make shopping easy! I'm a

My god this. I came home from my last trip and needed a few new pairs of dress p
ants, and my family offered to buy them. I knew my measurements and gave them to
them. Surprise! None of them truly fit. 1 pair was skin tight and the other two
were unbutton-able. It's insane!

I used to be a buyer in women's fashion so I can explain this quite easily. Ther
e is no agenda to make females feel bad. You are our customers we want you to fe
el good. Other than that woman's fashion companies produce clothing in only smal
l medium and large for the most part because it's cheaper to produce them that w
ay. By adding in another size you're adding a huge amount of inventory. Also wom
en's clothing that are plus sizes actually fit quite differently so you can't ju
st get the same style and add a few inches here and there and hope it looks good
. Girls who wear plus sizes are looking for different styles as well. Women's cl
othing have much more variety in styles where as men's sections are pretty much
shirts and pants.

I really don't get it. I think big dudes need to lose weight just as much as I t
hink big women do. I suppose I discriminate equally.
But on a more serious note: being overweight is bad for you. Especially later in
life. My great-aunt spent her last 15 years more or less unable to leave home.
My grandmother has hit the same problem. And now I'm worried that my mother is s
tarting to gain a lot of weight as she gets close to her 60s, and looking at wha
t she eats, it's blatantly obvious as to why. I'm not hating on my mother. But I
wish she would eat less and carry out a more healthy life-style especially beca
use she knows very well how miserable her own aunts later years were. If all thr
ee examples here were women, it's merely coincidence. My father is still thin as
a rake and still very active, as was his, and my grandfather on my mothers side
passed long ago.
If someone in our family is overweight we should try to help them, and if we are
ourselves, we should accept help offered.

Sure. Triggers in real life are things that can trigger a negative flashback or

words or things can trigger them to have a panic attack. It really just boils d

When I was in treatment for my eating disorder, a "trigger" was something that t

for me because of the laxative section. It was very difficult for me to stay aw

When something, whether it be words, images, a person, etc... causes (triggers)
someone to re-experience a traumatic memory. Example: rape victims sometimes bec
ome incredibly anxious when their rapist enters the room, or fireworks can set o
ff flashbacks for soldiers with PTSD.
Yes, sometimes people feel uncomfortable around criticism and call it a "trigger
" to shut down conversation, but I think many triggers are legitimate. Reddit do
esn't seem to think that's the case.

Hey, as someone with PTSD I can explain what a trigger is like for me. I can be
just going about my business and I might smell something that reminds me of the
incident, and suddenly I'll be right back there feeling trapped and scared and a
nxious. Fight or flight kicks in. There are images of it happening in my mind. I
can't control it. And that's probably minor compared to what other people with
PTSD can experience.
Genuine triggers are awful. Purposely triggering someone (people actually do tha
t) is a fucking shitty thing to do. I think tumblr has trivialised the term "tri
gger" to the point where people with PTSD don't get taken seriously because they
get lumped in with the ones who take advantage of the term.
There should be a new term for PTSD survivors. "Trigger warning" has been corrup
ted. It's too vague. Something like "flashback warning" would be better.
People with PTSD genuinely need trigger (or flashback) warnings, it's not a joke
. A bad trigger can push someone over the edge.

Old Navy carry mens' sizes in up to XXXL shirts and 48 inch waist jeans. The "pl
us size" womens section does not go higher than that so yes, larger women have t
heir own section whereas larger men just use the regular mens section.

Plus size clothes are labeled either XXL, XXXL etc., or 1X, 2X, etc. They're sol
d in the Plus size or Missed section, but it's not like they're sold as "Plus si
ze small". Don't worry, fat women certainly aren't coddled or told they are beau
tiful by retailers.
Additionally, the clothes are usually far uglier than the cute skinny people clo

Men get a small range of sizes, and mostly terrible fitting clothing; women get
a much larger amount of sizes and two separate sections for the larger and the s
maller. Just chill out and try to see it from other perspectives besides just yo
ur own. I mean have you seen how ill-fitting clothing is for men unless they buy
specialty or get it tailored? We have S, M, L, XL, XXL, XXXL. And if you're not
one of those specific measurements that define one of the 6 main sizes, then yo
u're going to be between them and either have way too tight clothing, or way too
loose clothing. Take it from a guy who grew up constantly in-between sizes and
looking fat in everything. Oh and if you're too embarassed to shop for larger cl
othing, then you're just perpetuating "fat-shaming" and not practicing what you
preach about body pride. Don't like shopping for bigger clothes? Put in the work
to make your body smaller or get over it.

Fat men also have more variety at standard stores. I've seen Old Navy push well
into the high 40 waists.
The problem is that it's a double standard. There is an infinitely higher bias t
oward overweight women than overweight men.
Both lifestyles are unhealthy, but unless you've been a fatty you don't understa
nd the struggle it takes to get away from there.
Food is a fucker and is an easy, shitty solution to many problems. I've been gui
lty for eating my feelings, especially those times where my weight has already b
een high. It's a lot easier to grab a DQ blizzard than it is to pull yourself up
and go get help.
It's taken me almost 40 years to change my mindset into a healthy one. I fucking
loved food. It's not an easy shift, especially if you've been raised to eat unh
ealthy.
Like when I quit smoking, it had to come from inside. And one thing I can tell y
ou is alienating overweight people isn't the solution. Pretending it doesn't exi
st or basically funnelling overweight people into "fat" stores also doesn't help
. It doesn't do great things to ones self esteem to have to go out of your way a
nd shop at these kinds of stores.

I find that the problem with food obsession/binging is somewhat different to mos

around it, unless you live off an IV (can you do that?).

I didn't really want to respond, but this really bothered me. It's very narrow v
iew.
It's not always a matter of campaigning for an unhealthy lifestyle. You have to
dress for the body you have.
Shopping at a Big & Tall is a much different experience than shopping at stores
specifically targeted at plus size women (although options have improved greatly
for them over the years.) Many of thedr specialty stores have been known to cat
er towards an older demographic. The reality is there are younger women who are
plus size that want to wear the same trends their friends are wearing (prints, c
olors, silhouettes.) Just because a woman is a size 20 does not mean she only wa
nts to wear leopard prints and ruffles.
Also, keep in mind men's fashion and women's fashion are judged on different spe
ctrums. For instance, the male anchor who wore the same suit for a year.
Yes, obesity is an epidemic in America, but that doesn't mean they should be mar
ginalized.
Clothing is a fun means of expression for many people. If a person wants to patr
on a store and that store wants to cater to them what does it matter?

I never really thought about that. It sort of does show the difference in how of

as there are people who fit the big+tall category, so that'll probably never ha

EDIT: I feel like I'm working at Old Navy again.
Double Edit: I've never seen a Big and Tall store that carries pants that are 30

It's all marketing. Nothing else would match well with "women's plus" (except if
there was a "men's plus") Regardless, it's matched by pairs. "Man" and "women"
look better side by side than "man" and "women's plus".

Their responsive design is very grid based and they organized the sets into the
three pars; adults, kids, toddlers. There is no plus men's category so this sing

A Canadian is born in the midst of a long and cold winter's night, when the spir
its of Moose and Beaver are taken by Grandfather Maple to a hockey rink. If Moos
e out scores Beaver, a boy is born. If Beaver beats Moose, a girl is born. Then
Grandfather Maple takes the child to Seal Fur Woman, who teaches the child its n
ame, the Canadian national anthem, and bestows upon it a love of gravy on French
fries. After that, a worthy Canadian couple, who have proven themselves fortudi
nous by surviving the harsh winter and Stephen Harper's roaming squad of attack
kittens in sweater vests, apologized profusely for all the fuss and is allowed t
o adopt the child from Grandfather Maple.

Another possibility is that the plus size girl would fill the entirety of the fr
ame in the normal grid size, making her size easier to compare to the other grid
s, and by comparison actually appear larger than she really is.
By giving her a larger frame size, and thus more white space on each side, it co
uld have a bit of a slimming effect compared to the others.
Not sure how well all that works though here, just some design theory i pulled o
ut of my ass.

I'm no expert, but my guess is that it has something to do with women's style be
ing tighter fitting. Whereas the relatively loose fitting pants worn by men can
accommodate legs of varying widths, with only the waist and length varying great
ly, the tight fitting pants worn by women are far less versatile. It's not hard
to imagine how manufacturing clothes for women is far more costly than it is for
men. Considering this along with the greater demand among the fairer sex for st
ylish clothing, I think we arrive at at least a plausible explanation for why th
ere is a women's plus and not a men's plus.

That's not true. They tried to set up women's clothing like mens, back in the 20
s. Thing is, men are built similarly - triangle - and are able to use the waist/
length method for purchasing off the rack.
When they did the same for women, it didn't work. The difference in body shape f
or a woman who carries in her stomach versus her ass is night and day. It also d
oesn't help that men wear 2 pieces always, whereas women (especially then) wore
a lot of dresses.
But it doesn't have to do with "getting away with" - they did try to standardize
the women's size.

Well, some 3/4 of their merchandise is for women(this includes female children)
anyway, not that I really give a fuck because I mainly wear jeans and tshirts an
yway.
Would I like a few more options? Yes. Is there much of a market in that one stor
e for those options, probably not- a quick look at the closets of every female r
elative of mine shows that they each have at least 3x the amount of clothing by
volume as me, going much longer before they "cycle through". Most of them are bu
ying these clothes of their own accord, so it stands to reason that it's not as
profitable under the current system to stock as much clothing for men as women.
I'll take my long-sleeved shirts, thank you.

I make ON promo emails and they usually make W doublewide since it gets the most

Well, men don't have boobs, so that helps reduce body variations.
Other than that, men generally care about the "drop" between shoulders and waist
. This can vary a lot between fat guys, skinny-fat guys, lean athletic guys, and
built guys. I'm almost at the point where even "athletic" cuts don't quite have
enough drop and look kind of billowy on me, and I'm not even built. Actually bi
g dudes need to get almost everything tailored so it doesn't look like you're we
aring a garbage bag.

Women have relative variations in circumference around their boobs, waist and hi
ps. There's also variations in hips vs leg length.
Whereas men, if they are wider or longer around one of these areas, they are gen
erally wider or longer around all three.
Generally speaking, there are exceptions.
This is not probably not enough to explain all of the size difference in terms o
f men's clothing vs women's clothing, but it's certainly a factor.

I don't really know if there's a way to quantitatively answer that question.
Maybe standard deviation of men's waist/inseam/whatever vs. women's. But I don't

Anecdotally men's sizes are generally S/M/L/XL and then you add a few X's for th
e really big dudes. Whereas I doubt that any two girls who both wear a size 4 dr

Correct, many many upscale stores do not offer larger sizes for women, and imo i

. When I shopped at Walmart, they did not have women's dress slacks in my size b
ecause I was too small. Women my size don't shop at (that) Walmart often enough
to make it worth carrying a size smaller than 6. Also, they didn't sell dress sl
acks for little girls, so I had to purchase little boy's dress slacks. Normally
I don't buy dress slacks at Walmart but I had a... pants emergency.

OR go with a nicer-fitting 2XL and look like a belly-dancer.


It doesn't matter overall though, because 99% of stores, as I said, don't go ove

Typical stores have 4 sizes of mens shirts (S-XL) and an assortment of pants usu
ally ranging from 28-40 waist and 30-38 inseam with an assortment of combination
s of waist/inseam with some styles that change the fit.
When you get into larger sizes they just start adding X's. I've litterally seen
"XXXXXL" printed on a tag, and I held up the shirt and it was about the size of

a bed sheet. It was right next to the M-L shirts I was shopping for, they were j
ust out of the sizes in-between.
Women don't want this setup. They don't want to see their XXXXXL equivalent next
to a XS/S/M shirt because they can see the discrepancy. They want to be guided
to their section where things fit, and see all the other clothes that are close
to the size they can fit into. It falls right into the vanity sizing mindset for
women's clothes.
I'll put it this way. Would you rather be told you're a 4XL or that you're a Rel
axed Fit Medium? Guys generally don't care, and women do. Which is why they call
it out that way.

It's frustrating that "vanity sizing" has crept over to men's clothing. It used

o to the fitting room with tower of jeans ranging in size from 28x30 to 34x32 ju
st to find something that fits right - and every brand is different so it's not
like you can just count on the size you got last time.
The whole point of putting numbers on the jeans was to make shopping easy! I'm a

if it means I can be in and out of the store in five minutes!

en's clothing that are plus sizes actually fit quite differently so you can't ju

I really don't get it. I think big dudes need to lose weight just as much as I t

But on a more serious note: being overweight is bad for you. Especially later in
life. My great-aunt spent her last 15 years more or less unable to leave home.
My grandmother has hit the same problem. And now I'm worried that my mother is s
tarting to gain a lot of weight as she gets close to her 60s, and looking at wha
t she eats, it's blatantly obvious as to why. I'm not hating on my mother. But I
wish she would eat less and carry out a more healthy life-style especially beca
use she knows very well how miserable her own aunts later years were. If all thr
ee examples here were women, it's merely coincidence. My father is still thin as
a rake and still very active, as was his, and my grandfather on my mothers side
passed long ago.
If someone in our family is overweight we should try to help them, and if we are
ourselves, we should accept help offered.

ome incredibly anxious when their rapist enters the room, or fireworks can set o
ff flashbacks for soldiers with PTSD.
Yes, sometimes people feel uncomfortable around criticism and call it a "trigger
" to shut down conversation, but I think many triggers are legitimate. Reddit do
esn't seem to think that's the case.

It really shouldn't be socially acceptable though because it pretty much makes a

Hey, as someone with PTSD I can explain what a trigger is like for me. I can be
just going about my business and I might smell something that reminds me of the
incident, and suddenly I'll be right back there feeling trapped and scared and a
nxious. Fight or flight kicks in. There are images of it happening in my mind. I
can't control it. And that's probably minor compared to what other people with
PTSD can experience.
Genuine triggers are awful. Purposely triggering someone (people actually do tha
t) is a fucking shitty thing to do. I think tumblr has trivialised the term "tri
gger" to the point where people with PTSD don't get taken seriously because they
get lumped in with the ones who take advantage of the term.
There should be a new term for PTSD survivors. "Trigger warning" has been corrup
ted. It's too vague. Something like "flashback warning" would be better.
People with PTSD genuinely need trigger (or flashback) warnings, it's not a joke
. A bad trigger can push someone over the edge.

Men get a small range of sizes, and mostly terrible fitting clothing; women get
a much larger amount of sizes and two separate sections for the larger and the s
maller. Just chill out and try to see it from other perspectives besides just yo
ur own. I mean have you seen how ill-fitting clothing is for men unless they buy
specialty or get it tailored? We have S, M, L, XL, XXL, XXXL. And if you're not
one of those specific measurements that define one of the 6 main sizes, then yo
u're going to be between them and either have way too tight clothing, or way too
loose clothing. Take it from a guy who grew up constantly in-between sizes and
looking fat in everything. Oh and if you're too embarassed to shop for larger cl
othing, then you're just perpetuating "fat-shaming" and not practicing what you
preach about body pride. Don't like shopping for bigger clothes? Put in the work
to make your body smaller or get over it.

Fat men also have more variety at standard stores. I've seen Old Navy push well
into the high 40 waists.
The problem is that it's a double standard. There is an infinitely higher bias t
oward overweight women than overweight men.
Both lifestyles are unhealthy, but unless you've been a fatty you don't understa
nd the struggle it takes to get away from there.
Food is a fucker and is an easy, shitty solution to many problems. I've been gui
lty for eating my feelings, especially those times where my weight has already b
een high. It's a lot easier to grab a DQ blizzard than it is to pull yourself up
and go get help.
It's taken me almost 40 years to change my mindset into a healthy one. I fucking
loved food. It's not an easy shift, especially if you've been raised to eat unh
ealthy.
Like when I quit smoking, it had to come from inside. And one thing I can tell y
ou is alienating overweight people isn't the solution. Pretending it doesn't exi
st or basically funnelling overweight people into "fat" stores also doesn't help
. It doesn't do great things to ones self esteem to have to go out of your way a

I didn't really want to respond, but this really bothered me. It's very narrow v
iew.
It's not always a matter of campaigning for an unhealthy lifestyle. You have to
dress for the body you have.
Shopping at a Big & Tall is a much different experience than shopping at stores

specifically targeted at plus size women (although options have improved greatly
for them over the years.) Many of thedr specialty stores have been known to cat
er towards an older demographic. The reality is there are younger women who are
plus size that want to wear the same trends their friends are wearing (prints, c
olors, silhouettes.) Just because a woman is a size 20 does not mean she only wa
nts to wear leopard prints and ruffles.
Also, keep in mind men's fashion and women's fashion are judged on different spe
ctrums. For instance, the male anchor who wore the same suit for a year.
Yes, obesity is an epidemic in America, but that doesn't mean they should be mar
ginalized.
Clothing is a fun means of expression for many people. If a person wants to patr

instead of campaigning to normalize unhealthy lifestyles.
To be fair, while most plus sizes can be considered unhealthy, in some stores, t
he plus sizes start at a somewhat healthy weight.

I never really thought about that. It sort of does show the difference in how of
fended sexes get over their perceived size. I do wish there would be a thin+tall
store though. There probably aren't nearly as many people who fit that category
as there are people who fit the big+tall category, so that'll probably never ha
ppen. But dammit, I want more options for 30x34/30x36 pants!
EDIT: I feel like I'm working at Old Navy again.
Double Edit: I've never seen a Big and Tall store that carries pants that are 30
x34/36. I've seen >32x34, but never my size. It's always geared toward either av
erage builds that are very tall, or average sized guys that are very fat.

I don't see how you could argue it is MORE of a euphemism.
Plus size seems like more of a euphemism than big. And tall isn't a substitution

they aren't overusing euphemisms.

The weird part is, Old Navy DOES have a "Big and Tall" selection in their mens c

.
But the womens stuff is separated out as a whole new category of "Womens Plus"

permalink

I think this is partially because plus sized women's clothing needs to be design

I get why plus sizes get there own category. If a big girl is checking out a sto

their size. That doesn't really explain why their category is wider on that pag
e...
Guys, look at it like this. You go to a parts web site looking for a distributor
for your '53 Hudson Hornet. Would you rather sift through all of the distributo
rs before you discover that they only carry Ford and Chevy parts? Nope, you want
to see a link to "Hudson engine parts" and get down to business. No mention of
Hudson, you go to the next site.
My wife is a big girl and she gets damn frustrated when she sees something she l
ikes, chooses a color and then finds that it isn't available in plus size.
Before you give women too much shit about "enabling an unhealthy lifestyle" you
should also understand that in the clothing industry 'plus size' does not necess
arily mean 400lb folks.

The only legitimate reason I can think of is that the majority of Old Navy custo

most double the amount of larger sizes. Maybe they were trying to give more obvi

We repopulate when the snow hits. Our young build snowmen that Elsa, praised be

Their responsive design is very grid based and they organized the sets into the
three pars; adults, kids, toddlers. There is no plus men's category so this sing
le category either had to take up two grid positions or go to the bottom as a si

A Canadian is born in the midst of a long and cold winter's night, when the spir

e out scores Beaver, a boy is born. If Beaver beats Moose, a girl is born. Then
Grandfather Maple takes the child to Seal Fur Woman, who teaches the child its n
ame, the Canadian national anthem, and bestows upon it a love of gravy on French
fries. After that, a worthy Canadian couple, who have proven themselves fortudi
nous by surviving the harsh winter and Stephen Harper's roaming squad of attack
kittens in sweater vests, apologized profusely for all the fuss and is allowed t
o adopt the child from Grandfather Maple.

Another possibility is that the plus size girl would fill the entirety of the fr
ame in the normal grid size, making her size easier to compare to the other grid
s, and by comparison actually appear larger than she really is.
By giving her a larger frame size, and thus more white space on each side, it co
uld have a bit of a slimming effect compared to the others.
Not sure how well all that works though here, just some design theory i pulled o
ut of my ass.

I'm no expert, but my guess is that it has something to do with women's style be
ing tighter fitting. Whereas the relatively loose fitting pants worn by men can
accommodate legs of varying widths, with only the waist and length varying great
ly, the tight fitting pants worn by women are far less versatile. It's not hard
to imagine how manufacturing clothes for women is far more costly than it is for
men. Considering this along with the greater demand among the fairer sex for st
ylish clothing, I think we arrive at at least a plausible explanation for why th
ere is a women's plus and not a men's plus.

That's not true. They tried to set up women's clothing like mens, back in the 20
s. Thing is, men are built similarly - triangle - and are able to use the waist/
length method for purchasing off the rack.
When they did the same for women, it didn't work. The difference in body shape f
or a woman who carries in her stomach versus her ass is night and day. It also d
oesn't help that men wear 2 pieces always, whereas women (especially then) wore
a lot of dresses.
But it doesn't have to do with "getting away with" - they did try to standardize
the women's size.

Well, some 3/4 of their merchandise is for women(this includes female children)
anyway, not that I really give a fuck because I mainly wear jeans and tshirts an
yway.
Would I like a few more options? Yes. Is there much of a market in that one stor
e for those options, probably not- a quick look at the closets of every female r
elative of mine shows that they each have at least 3x the amount of clothing by
volume as me, going much longer before they "cycle through". Most of them are bu
ying these clothes of their own accord, so it stands to reason that it's not as
profitable under the current system to stock as much clothing for men as women.

of their excess weight (through diet snd exercise - aka the healthy, progressive
way) are 55-65% less likely to experience depression symptoms; 80-92% reported
overall quality of life improvements that they called very significant.
Probably common sense, but hearing those numbers may act as a motivator for you!

Is it actually true that men's bodies don't vary as much as women's?
permalinkparent
[ ]PigDog4 15 points 6 hours ago
Well, men don't have boobs, so that helps reduce body variations.
Other than that, men generally care about the "drop" between shoulders and waist
. This can vary a lot between fat guys, skinny-fat guys, lean athletic guys, and
built guys. I'm almost at the point where even "athletic" cuts don't quite have
enough drop and look kind of billowy on me, and I'm not even built. Actually bi
g dudes need to get almost everything tailored so it doesn't look like you're we
aring a garbage bag.

Women have relative variations in circumference around their boobs, waist and hi
ps. There's also variations in hips vs leg length.
Whereas men, if they are wider or longer around one of these areas, they are gen
erally wider or longer around all three.
Generally speaking, there are exceptions.
This is not probably not enough to explain all of the size difference in terms o
f men's clothing vs women's clothing, but it's certainly a factor.

I don't really know if there's a way to quantitatively answer that question.
Maybe standard deviation of men's waist/inseam/whatever vs. women's. But I don't
know if those kind of statistics are out there.
Anecdotally men's sizes are generally S/M/L/XL and then you add a few X's for th
e really big dudes. Whereas I doubt that any two girls who both wear a size 4 dr
ess look very similar in terms of body shape.

Correct, many many upscale stores do not offer larger sizes for women, and imo i
t's a financial decision on their part, nothing more. It works the other way too
. When I shopped at Walmart, they did not have women's dress slacks in my size b
ecause I was too small. Women my size don't shop at (that) Walmart often enough
to make it worth carrying a size smaller than 6. Also, they didn't sell dress sl
acks for little girls, so I had to purchase little boy's dress slacks. Normally

I don't buy dress slacks at Walmart but I had a... pants emergency.

6'8" chubby guy here. Mens sections RARELY have over XL size shirts, and they NE
VER, EVER, EVER have 2XL AND tall styles. I can get a 3XL shirt and have it be 3
feet too wide, BUT have the length for the shirt to cover my freaking stomach,
OR go with a nicer-fitting 2XL and look like a belly-dancer.
It doesn't matter overall though, because 99% of stores, as I said, don't go ove
r XL.
And don't you even fucking get me started on shoes.. the pair I have right now h

process of having shoes shipped to you to try them on, and ship them back when
they aren't good enough just to order another pair to try (And yes I can just or

Typical stores have 4 sizes of mens shirts (S-XL) and an assortment of pants usu
ally ranging from 28-40 waist and 30-38 inseam with an assortment of combination
s of waist/inseam with some styles that change the fit.
When you get into larger sizes they just start adding X's. I've litterally seen
"XXXXXL" printed on a tag, and I held up the shirt and it was about the size of
a bed sheet. It was right next to the M-L shirts I was shopping for, they were j
ust out of the sizes in-between.
Women don't want this setup. They don't want to see their XXXXXL equivalent next
to a XS/S/M shirt because they can see the discrepancy. They want to be guided
to their section where things fit, and see all the other clothes that are close
to the size they can fit into. It falls right into the vanity sizing mindset for
women's clothes.
I'll put it this way. Would you rather be told you're a 4XL or that you're a Rel
axed Fit Medium? Guys generally don't care, and women do. Which is why they call
it out that way.

It's frustrating that "vanity sizing" has crept over to men's clothing. It used

size, I could pick out a pair without even having to try it on. Now, I have to g
o to the fitting room with tower of jeans ranging in size from 28x30 to 34x32 ju
st to find something that fits right - and every brand is different so it's not
like you can just count on the size you got last time.
The whole point of putting numbers on the jeans was to make shopping easy! I'm a
man. I don't care if my clothes literally call me a fat ass while I put them on
if it means I can be in and out of the store in five minutes!

I really don't get it. I think big dudes need to lose weight just as much as I t

But on a more serious note: being overweight is bad for you. Especially later in
life. My great-aunt spent her last 15 years more or less unable to leave home.
My grandmother has hit the same problem. And now I'm worried that my mother is s
tarting to gain a lot of weight as she gets close to her 60s, and looking at wha
t she eats, it's blatantly obvious as to why. I'm not hating on my mother. But I
wish she would eat less and carry out a more healthy life-style especially beca
use she knows very well how miserable her own aunts later years were. If all thr
ee examples here were women, it's merely coincidence. My father is still thin as
a rake and still very active, as was his, and my grandfather on my mothers side
passed long ago.
If someone in our family is overweight we should try to help them, and if we are
ourselves, we should accept help offered.

Hey, as someone with PTSD I can explain what a trigger is like for me. I can be
just going about my business and I might smell something that reminds me of the
incident, and suddenly I'll be right back there feeling trapped and scared and a
nxious. Fight or flight kicks in. There are images of it happening in my mind. I
can't control it. And that's probably minor compared to what other people with
PTSD can experience.
Genuine triggers are awful. Purposely triggering someone (people actually do tha
t) is a fucking shitty thing to do. I think tumblr has trivialised the term "tri
gger" to the point where people with PTSD don't get taken seriously because they
get lumped in with the ones who take advantage of the term.
There should be a new term for PTSD survivors. "Trigger warning" has been corrup
ted. It's too vague. Something like "flashback warning" would be better.
People with PTSD genuinely need trigger (or flashback) warnings, it's not a joke
. A bad trigger can push someone over the edge.

Men get a small range of sizes, and mostly terrible fitting clothing; women get
a much larger amount of sizes and two separate sections for the larger and the s
maller. Just chill out and try to see it from other perspectives besides just yo

ur own. I mean have you seen how ill-fitting clothing is for men unless they buy
specialty or get it tailored? We have S, M, L, XL, XXL, XXXL. And if you're not
one of those specific measurements that define one of the 6 main sizes, then yo
u're going to be between them and either have way too tight clothing, or way too
loose clothing. Take it from a guy who grew up constantly in-between sizes and
looking fat in everything. Oh and if you're too embarassed to shop for larger cl
othing, then you're just perpetuating "fat-shaming" and not practicing what you
preach about body pride. Don't like shopping for bigger clothes? Put in the work
to make your body smaller or get over it.

Fat men also have more variety at standard stores. I've seen Old Navy push well
into the high 40 waists.
The problem is that it's a double standard. There is an infinitely higher bias t
oward overweight women than overweight men.
Both lifestyles are unhealthy, but unless you've been a fatty you don't understa
nd the struggle it takes to get away from there.
Food is a fucker and is an easy, shitty solution to many problems. I've been gui
lty for eating my feelings, especially those times where my weight has already b
een high. It's a lot easier to grab a DQ blizzard than it is to pull yourself up
and go get help.
It's taken me almost 40 years to change my mindset into a healthy one. I fucking
loved food. It's not an easy shift, especially if you've been raised to eat unh
ealthy.
Like when I quit smoking, it had to come from inside. And one thing I can tell y
ou is alienating overweight people isn't the solution. Pretending it doesn't exi
st or basically funnelling overweight people into "fat" stores also doesn't help
. It doesn't do great things to ones self esteem to have to go out of your way a
nd shop at these kinds of stores.

I find that the problem with food obsession/binging is somewhat different to mos

I didn't really want to respond, but this really bothered me. It's very narrow v

It's not always a matter of campaigning for an unhealthy lifestyle. You have to
dress for the body you have.
Shopping at a Big & Tall is a much different experience than shopping at stores
specifically targeted at plus size women (although options have improved greatly
for them over the years.) Many of thedr specialty stores have been known to cat
er towards an older demographic. The reality is there are younger women who are
plus size that want to wear the same trends their friends are wearing (prints, c
olors, silhouettes.) Just because a woman is a size 20 does not mean she only wa
nts to wear leopard prints and ruffles.
Also, keep in mind men's fashion and women's fashion are judged on different spe
ctrums. For instance, the male anchor who wore the same suit for a year.
Yes, obesity is an epidemic in America, but that doesn't mean they should be mar
ginalized.
Clothing is a fun means of expression for many people. If a person wants to patr
on a store and that store wants to cater to them what does it matter?

Huh. This will get buried, but I make old navy promotional emails and usually th

This is usually women's or men's. I've never seen WP, but that could be an expla
nation. Sure is unfortunate.

Yeah, most plus size models are heavy compared to regular models, but very propo
rtionate -- no massive bellies or super wide hips. But in real life, obese women
don't usually look like that.
permalinkparent
[ ]riggorous 3 points 2 hours ago
Plus models are typically 6 foot size 12's. That's in no way obese. Indeed, tall
women wearing the lower end of plus sizes aren't likely to be obese.

In real life women don't generally look like non plus sized models either. It's
called photoshop, and they use it on all sizes.

They do, the rule is the fat person must fit in the seat with the armrests down.
If they insist on leaving them up just call a flight attendant who will find th

people can purchase two seats if they wish, and they'll even refund the extra s

Old navy has been getting some negative lime light over their plus side clothing

men's clothing (not so for men's).

I get why plus sizes get there own category. If a big girl is checking out a sto
re for the first time, they want to know quickly if they might have something in
their size. That doesn't really explain why their category is wider on that pag
e...
Guys, look at it like this. You go to a parts web site looking for a distributor
for your '53 Hudson Hornet. Would you rather sift through all of the distributo
rs before you discover that they only carry Ford and Chevy parts? Nope, you want
to see a link to "Hudson engine parts" and get down to business. No mention of
Hudson, you go to the next site.
My wife is a big girl and she gets damn frustrated when she sees something she l
ikes, chooses a color and then finds that it isn't available in plus size.
Before you give women too much shit about "enabling an unhealthy lifestyle" you
should also understand that in the clothing industry 'plus size' does not necess
arily mean 400lb folks.

The only legitimate reason I can think of is that the majority of Old Navy custo
mers are plus sized women. Whenever we get a shipment of a product, there are al
most double the amount of larger sizes. Maybe they were trying to give more obvi
ous access to clothing for their (literally) biggest consumer. Gap Inc is usuall
y very literal with their advertisment (eg. Gap toothed women as models for a lo
t of their posters)

It's all marketing. Nothing else would match well with "women's plus" (except if

Their responsive design is very grid based and they organized the sets into the

A Canadian is born in the midst of a long and cold winter's night, when the spir

Grandfather Maple takes the child to Seal Fur Woman, who teaches the child its n

Another possibility is that the plus size girl would fill the entirety of the fr
ame in the normal grid size, making her size easier to compare to the other grid
s, and by comparison actually appear larger than she really is.
By giving her a larger frame size, and thus more white space on each side, it co
uld have a bit of a slimming effect compared to the others.
Not sure how well all that works though here, just some design theory i pulled o

I'm no expert, but my guess is that it has something to do with women's style be
ing tighter fitting. Whereas the relatively loose fitting pants worn by men can
accommodate legs of varying widths, with only the waist and length varying great
ly, the tight fitting pants worn by women are far less versatile. It's not hard
to imagine how manufacturing clothes for women is far more costly than it is for
men. Considering this along with the greater demand among the fairer sex for st
ylish clothing, I think we arrive at at least a plausible explanation for why th
ere is a women's plus and not a men's plus.

That's not true. They tried to set up women's clothing like mens, back in the 20
s. Thing is, men are built similarly - triangle - and are able to use the waist/
length method for purchasing off the rack.
When they did the same for women, it didn't work. The difference in body shape f
or a woman who carries in her stomach versus her ass is night and day. It also d
oesn't help that men wear 2 pieces always, whereas women (especially then) wore
a lot of dresses.
But it doesn't have to do with "getting away with" - they did try to standardize
the women's size.

Well, some 3/4 of their merchandise is for women(this includes female children)

Would I like a few more options? Yes. Is there much of a market in that one stor
e for those options, probably not- a quick look at the closets of every female r
elative of mine shows that they each have at least 3x the amount of clothing by
volume as me, going much longer before they "cycle through". Most of them are bu
ying these clothes of their own accord, so it stands to reason that it's not as
profitable under the current system to stock as much clothing for men as women.

Well, men don't have boobs, so that helps reduce body variations.

built guys. I'm almost at the point where even "athletic" cuts don't quite have
enough drop and look kind of billowy on me, and I'm not even built. Actually bi

Women have relative variations in circumference around their boobs, waist and hi
ps. There's also variations in hips vs leg length.
Whereas men, if they are wider or longer around one of these areas, they are gen
erally wider or longer around all three.
Generally speaking, there are exceptions.
This is not probably not enough to explain all of the size difference in terms o

ecause I was too small. Women my size don't shop at (that) Walmart often enough
to make it worth carrying a size smaller than 6. Also, they didn't sell dress sl

Typical stores have 4 sizes of mens shirts (S-XL) and an assortment of pants usu
ally ranging from 28-40 waist and 30-38 inseam with an assortment of combination
s of waist/inseam with some styles that change the fit.
When you get into larger sizes they just start adding X's. I've litterally seen
"XXXXXL" printed on a tag, and I held up the shirt and it was about the size of
a bed sheet. It was right next to the M-L shirts I was shopping for, they were j
ust out of the sizes in-between.
Women don't want this setup. They don't want to see their XXXXXL equivalent next
to a XS/S/M shirt because they can see the discrepancy. They want to be guided
to their section where things fit, and see all the other clothes that are close
to the size they can fit into. It falls right into the vanity sizing mindset for
women's clothes.
I'll put it this way. Would you rather be told you're a 4XL or that you're a Rel

axed Fit Medium? Guys generally don't care, and women do. Which is why they call
it out that way.

Maybe I'm weird, but I really don't care what the tags say. I just want clothes
that reliably fit without having to guess if I'm a small or an extra large or so
mewhere in between. I wish they would size women's clothes by waist measurement
and inseam instead of this arbitrary bullshit that never ever lines up with what
the size chart says it should be.

[ ]Tattis 26 points 6 hours ago
It's frustrating that "vanity sizing" has crept over to men's clothing. It used
to be so easy to find a pair of pants that fit. Once I knew my inseam and waist
size, I could pick out a pair without even having to try it on. Now, I have to g
o to the fitting room with tower of jeans ranging in size from 28x30 to 34x32 ju
st to find something that fits right - and every brand is different so it's not
like you can just count on the size you got last time.
The whole point of putting numbers on the jeans was to make shopping easy! I'm a
man. I don't care if my clothes literally call me a fat ass while I put them on
if it means I can be in and out of the store in five minutes!

I used to be a buyer in women's fashion so I can explain this quite easily. Ther
e is no agenda to make females feel bad. You are our customers we want you to fe
el good. Other than that woman's fashion companies produce clothing in only smal
l medium and large for the most part because it's cheaper to produce them that w
ay. By adding in another size you're adding a huge amount of inventory. Also wom
en's clothing that are plus sizes actually fit quite differently so you can't ju
st get the same style and add a few inches here and there and hope it looks good
. Girls who wear plus sizes are looking for different styles as well. Women's cl
othing have much more variety in styles where as men's sections are pretty much
shirts and pants.

I really don't get it. I think big dudes need to lose weight just as much as I t
hink big women do. I suppose I discriminate equally.
But on a more serious note: being overweight is bad for you. Especially later in
life. My great-aunt spent her last 15 years more or less unable to leave home.
My grandmother has hit the same problem. And now I'm worried that my mother is s
tarting to gain a lot of weight as she gets close to her 60s, and looking at wha
t she eats, it's blatantly obvious as to why. I'm not hating on my mother. But I
wish she would eat less and carry out a more healthy life-style especially beca
use she knows very well how miserable her own aunts later years were. If all thr
ee examples here were women, it's merely coincidence. My father is still thin as
a rake and still very active, as was his, and my grandfather on my mothers side
passed long ago.
If someone in our family is overweight we should try to help them, and if we are
ourselves, we should accept help offered.

When I was in treatment for my eating disorder, a "trigger" was something that t

When something, whether it be words, images, a person, etc... causes (triggers)
someone to re-experience a traumatic memory. Example: rape victims sometimes bec
ome incredibly anxious when their rapist enters the room, or fireworks can set o
ff flashbacks for soldiers with PTSD.
Yes, sometimes people feel uncomfortable around criticism and call it a "trigger

Hey, as someone with PTSD I can explain what a trigger is like for me. I can be
just going about my business and I might smell something that reminds me of the
incident, and suddenly I'll be right back there feeling trapped and scared and a
nxious. Fight or flight kicks in. There are images of it happening in my mind. I
can't control it. And that's probably minor compared to what other people with
PTSD can experience.
Genuine triggers are awful. Purposely triggering someone (people actually do tha
t) is a fucking shitty thing to do. I think tumblr has trivialised the term "tri
gger" to the point where people with PTSD don't get taken seriously because they
get lumped in with the ones who take advantage of the term.
There should be a new term for PTSD survivors. "Trigger warning" has been corrup
ted. It's too vague. Something like "flashback warning" would be better.
People with PTSD genuinely need trigger (or flashback) warnings, it's not a joke
. A bad trigger can push someone over the edge.

ould not find a single 38 waist in our local Old Navy. The ones I did find in ot
her retail stores were generally very short length (I wear 34 length).
I wasn't even that fat at the time and I couldn't find clothes at Old Navy. I we
ar a 36" waist now and it can still be a pain to find 36x34s.

Fat men will generally look fine in the same clothes as skinny men, provided the

woman, because women's clothes are designed for certain body types. Men's cloth

Plus size clothes are labeled either XXL, XXXL etc., or 1X, 2X, etc. They're sol

Men get a small range of sizes, and mostly terrible fitting clothing; women get
a much larger amount of sizes and two separate sections for the larger and the s
maller. Just chill out and try to see it from other perspectives besides just yo
ur own. I mean have you seen how ill-fitting clothing is for men unless they buy
specialty or get it tailored? We have S, M, L, XL, XXL, XXXL. And if you're not
one of those specific measurements that define one of the 6 main sizes, then yo
u're going to be between them and either have way too tight clothing, or way too
loose clothing. Take it from a guy who grew up constantly in-between sizes and
looking fat in everything. Oh and if you're too embarassed to shop for larger cl
othing, then you're just perpetuating "fat-shaming" and not practicing what you
preach about body pride. Don't like shopping for bigger clothes? Put in the work
to make your body smaller or get over it.

Fat men also have more variety at standard stores. I've seen Old Navy push well
into the high 40 waists.
The problem is that it's a double standard. There is an infinitely higher bias t
oward overweight women than overweight men.

Both lifestyles are unhealthy, but unless you've been a fatty you don't understa
nd the struggle it takes to get away from there.
Food is a fucker and is an easy, shitty solution to many problems. I've been gui
lty for eating my feelings, especially those times where my weight has already b
een high. It's a lot easier to grab a DQ blizzard than it is to pull yourself up
and go get help.
It's taken me almost 40 years to change my mindset into a healthy one. I fucking
loved food. It's not an easy shift, especially if you've been raised to eat unh
ealthy.
Like when I quit smoking, it had to come from inside. And one thing I can tell y
ou is alienating overweight people isn't the solution. Pretending it doesn't exi
st or basically funnelling overweight people into "fat" stores also doesn't help
. It doesn't do great things to ones self esteem to have to go out of your way a
nd shop at these kinds of stores.

I find that the problem with food obsession/binging is somewhat different to mos

I didn't really want to respond, but this really bothered me. It's very narrow v
iew.
It's not always a matter of campaigning for an unhealthy lifestyle. You have to
dress for the body you have.
Shopping at a Big & Tall is a much different experience than shopping at stores
specifically targeted at plus size women (although options have improved greatly
for them over the years.) Many of thedr specialty stores have been known to cat
er towards an older demographic. The reality is there are younger women who are
plus size that want to wear the same trends their friends are wearing (prints, c
olors, silhouettes.) Just because a woman is a size 20 does not mean she only wa
nts to wear leopard prints and ruffles.
Also, keep in mind men's fashion and women's fashion are judged on different spe
ctrums. For instance, the male anchor who wore the same suit for a year.

Yes, obesity is an epidemic in America, but that doesn't mean they should be mar
ginalized.
Clothing is a fun means of expression for many people. If a person wants to patr
on a store and that store wants to cater to them what does it matter?

I never really thought about that. It sort of does show the difference in how of

Double Edit: I've never seen a Big and Tall store that carries pants that are 30

Hudson, you go to the next site.

I used to make websites like this as my job. It's an unfortunate layout decision
. They just divided into age categories.
Men, Women
Women+, (and there should be Men+)
Girls, Boys
Younger girls, younger boys

The only legitimate reason I can think of is that the majority of Old Navy custo
mers are plus sized women. Whenever we get a shipment of a product, there are al
most double the amount of larger sizes. Maybe they were trying to give more obvi
ous access to clothing for their (literally) biggest consumer. Gap Inc is usuall
y very literal with their advertisment (eg. Gap toothed women as models for a lo
t of their posters)

It's all marketing. Nothing else would match well with "women's plus" (except if
there was a "men's plus") Regardless, it's matched by pairs. "Man" and "women"
look better side by side than "man" and "women's plus".

Their responsive design is very grid based and they organized the sets into the
three pars; adults, kids, toddlers. There is no plus men's category so this sing

A Canadian is born in the midst of a long and cold winter's night, when the spir
its of Moose and Beaver are taken by Grandfather Maple to a hockey rink. If Moos
e out scores Beaver, a boy is born. If Beaver beats Moose, a girl is born. Then
Grandfather Maple takes the child to Seal Fur Woman, who teaches the child its n
ame, the Canadian national anthem, and bestows upon it a love of gravy on French

fries. After that, a worthy Canadian couple, who have proven themselves fortudi
nous by surviving the harsh winter and Stephen Harper's roaming squad of attack
kittens in sweater vests, apologized profusely for all the fuss and is allowed t
o adopt the child from Grandfather Maple.

Another possibility is that the plus size girl would fill the entirety of the fr
ame in the normal grid size, making her size easier to compare to the other grid
s, and by comparison actually appear larger than she really is.
By giving her a larger frame size, and thus more white space on each side, it co
uld have a bit of a slimming effect compared to the others.
Not sure how well all that works though here, just some design theory i pulled o
ut of my ass.

I'm no expert, but my guess is that it has something to do with women's style be
ing tighter fitting. Whereas the relatively loose fitting pants worn by men can
accommodate legs of varying widths, with only the waist and length varying great
ly, the tight fitting pants worn by women are far less versatile. It's not hard
to imagine how manufacturing clothes for women is far more costly than it is for
men. Considering this along with the greater demand among the fairer sex for st
ylish clothing, I think we arrive at at least a plausible explanation for why th
ere is a women's plus and not a men's plus.

"Mens plus" is just "Mens"
It's a double standard in clothing because it's easier for men to get away with
clothes that don't fit perfectly. Women sizing is more precise than mens.

That's not true. They tried to set up women's clothing like mens, back in the 20
s. Thing is, men are built similarly - triangle - and are able to use the waist/
length method for purchasing off the rack.
When they did the same for women, it didn't work. The difference in body shape f
or a woman who carries in her stomach versus her ass is night and day. It also d
oesn't help that men wear 2 pieces always, whereas women (especially then) wore
a lot of dresses.
But it doesn't have to do with "getting away with" - they did try to standardize
the women's size.

Well, some 3/4 of their merchandise is for women(this includes female children)
anyway, not that I really give a fuck because I mainly wear jeans and tshirts an
yway.
Would I like a few more options? Yes. Is there much of a market in that one stor
e for those options, probably not- a quick look at the closets of every female r
elative of mine shows that they each have at least 3x the amount of clothing by
volume as me, going much longer before they "cycle through". Most of them are bu
ying these clothes of their own accord, so it stands to reason that it's not as
profitable under the current system to stock as much clothing for men as women.

Well, men don't have boobs, so that helps reduce body variations.
Other than that, men generally care about the "drop" between shoulders and waist

built guys. I'm almost at the point where even "athletic" cuts don't quite have
enough drop and look kind of billowy on me, and I'm not even built. Actually bi

Women have relative variations in circumference around their boobs, waist and hi
ps. There's also variations in hips vs leg length.
Whereas men, if they are wider or longer around one of these areas, they are gen
erally wider or longer around all three.
Generally speaking, there are exceptions.
This is not probably not enough to explain all of the size difference in terms o
f men's clothing vs women's clothing, but it's certainly a factor.

Anecdotally men's sizes are generally S/M/L/XL and then you add a few X's for th

ecause I was too small. Women my size don't shop at (that) Walmart often enough
to make it worth carrying a size smaller than 6. Also, they didn't sell dress sl

Typical stores have 4 sizes of mens shirts (S-XL) and an assortment of pants usu
ally ranging from 28-40 waist and 30-38 inseam with an assortment of combination
s of waist/inseam with some styles that change the fit.
When you get into larger sizes they just start adding X's. I've litterally seen
"XXXXXL" printed on a tag, and I held up the shirt and it was about the size of
a bed sheet. It was right next to the M-L shirts I was shopping for, they were j
ust out of the sizes in-between.
Women don't want this setup. They don't want to see their XXXXXL equivalent next
to a XS/S/M shirt because they can see the discrepancy. They want to be guided
to their section where things fit, and see all the other clothes that are close
to the size they can fit into. It falls right into the vanity sizing mindset for
women's clothes.
I'll put it this way. Would you rather be told you're a 4XL or that you're a Rel
axed Fit Medium? Guys generally don't care, and women do. Which is why they call
it out that way.

It's frustrating that "vanity sizing" has crept over to men's clothing. It used

st to find something that fits right - and every brand is different so it's not
like you can just count on the size you got last time.
The whole point of putting numbers on the jeans was to make shopping easy! I'm a

I really don't get it. I think big dudes need to lose weight just as much as I t
hink big women do. I suppose I discriminate equally.
But on a more serious note: being overweight is bad for you. Especially later in
life. My great-aunt spent her last 15 years more or less unable to leave home.
My grandmother has hit the same problem. And now I'm worried that my mother is s
tarting to gain a lot of weight as she gets close to her 60s, and looking at wha
t she eats, it's blatantly obvious as to why. I'm not hating on my mother. But I
wish she would eat less and carry out a more healthy life-style especially beca
use she knows very well how miserable her own aunts later years were. If all thr
ee examples here were women, it's merely coincidence. My father is still thin as
a rake and still very active, as was his, and my grandfather on my mothers side
passed long ago.

If someone in our family is overweight we should try to help them, and if we are
ourselves, we should accept help offered.

Can someone explain this 'trigger' bullshit to me?
permalinkparent
[ ]RossBoss95 183 points 5 hours ago
Sure. Triggers in real life are things that can trigger a negative flashback or
panic attack in people who suffer from post traumatic stress disorder. Tumblr ba
stardizes this by claiming that they have some type of internet PTSD and certain
words or things can trigger them to have a panic attack. It really just boils d
own to hurting fee fee's

You have to understand it's not so much about how offended you actually are. It'

being a victim of EVERYTHING they get attention which is the end goal. If you w

When I was in treatment for my eating disorder, a "trigger" was something that t
riggered your unhealthy behavior. Like, going to the grocery store was a trigger
for me because of the laxative section. It was very difficult for me to stay aw
ay from it. Hopefully that makes sense?

When something, whether it be words, images, a person, etc... causes (triggers)
someone to re-experience a traumatic memory. Example: rape victims sometimes bec
ome incredibly anxious when their rapist enters the room, or fireworks can set o
ff flashbacks for soldiers with PTSD.
Yes, sometimes people feel uncomfortable around criticism and call it a "trigger
" to shut down conversation, but I think many triggers are legitimate. Reddit do
esn't seem to think that's the case.

Hey, as someone with PTSD I can explain what a trigger is like for me. I can be
just going about my business and I might smell something that reminds me of the
incident, and suddenly I'll be right back there feeling trapped and scared and a
nxious. Fight or flight kicks in. There are images of it happening in my mind. I
can't control it. And that's probably minor compared to what other people with
PTSD can experience.
Genuine triggers are awful. Purposely triggering someone (people actually do tha
t) is a fucking shitty thing to do. I think tumblr has trivialised the term "tri

gger" to the point where people with PTSD don't get taken seriously because they
get lumped in with the ones who take advantage of the term.
There should be a new term for PTSD survivors. "Trigger warning" has been corrup
ted. It's too vague. Something like "flashback warning" would be better.
People with PTSD genuinely need trigger (or flashback) warnings, it's not a joke
. A bad trigger can push someone over the edge.

specialty or get it tailored? We have S, M, L, XL, XXL, XXXL. And if you're not
one of those specific measurements that define one of the 6 main sizes, then yo
u're going to be between them and either have way too tight clothing, or way too
loose clothing. Take it from a guy who grew up constantly in-between sizes and
looking fat in everything. Oh and if you're too embarassed to shop for larger cl
othing, then you're just perpetuating "fat-shaming" and not practicing what you
preach about body pride. Don't like shopping for bigger clothes? Put in the work
to make your body smaller or get over it.

Fat men also have more variety at standard stores. I've seen Old Navy push well
into the high 40 waists.
The problem is that it's a double standard. There is an infinitely higher bias t
oward overweight women than overweight men.
Both lifestyles are unhealthy, but unless you've been a fatty you don't understa
nd the struggle it takes to get away from there.
Food is a fucker and is an easy, shitty solution to many problems. I've been gui
lty for eating my feelings, especially those times where my weight has already b
een high. It's a lot easier to grab a DQ blizzard than it is to pull yourself up
and go get help.
It's taken me almost 40 years to change my mindset into a healthy one. I fucking
loved food. It's not an easy shift, especially if you've been raised to eat unh
ealthy.
Like when I quit smoking, it had to come from inside. And one thing I can tell y
ou is alienating overweight people isn't the solution. Pretending it doesn't exi
st or basically funnelling overweight people into "fat" stores also doesn't help
. It doesn't do great things to ones self esteem to have to go out of your way a
nd shop at these kinds of stores.

I find that the problem with food obsession/binging is somewhat different to mos
t addictions. When you quit smoking, you never have to take up a cigarette again
. You don't need it. Same with other drugs. But you need to eat. There's no way
around it, unless you live off an IV (can you do that?).

I didn't really want to respond, but this really bothered me. It's very narrow v
iew.
It's not always a matter of campaigning for an unhealthy lifestyle. You have to
dress for the body you have.
Shopping at a Big & Tall is a much different experience than shopping at stores
specifically targeted at plus size women (although options have improved greatly
for them over the years.) Many of thedr specialty stores have been known to cat
er towards an older demographic. The reality is there are younger women who are
plus size that want to wear the same trends their friends are wearing (prints, c
olors, silhouettes.) Just because a woman is a size 20 does not mean she only wa
nts to wear leopard prints and ruffles.
Also, keep in mind men's fashion and women's fashion are judged on different spe
ctrums. For instance, the male anchor who wore the same suit for a year.
Yes, obesity is an epidemic in America, but that doesn't mean they should be mar
ginalized.
Clothing is a fun means of expression for many people. If a person wants to patr
on a store and that store wants to cater to them what does it matter?

I never really thought about that. It sort of does show the difference in how of
fended sexes get over their perceived size. I do wish there would be a thin+tall
store though. There probably aren't nearly as many people who fit that category
as there are people who fit the big+tall category, so that'll probably never ha
ppen. But dammit, I want more options for 30x34/30x36 pants!
EDIT: I feel like I'm working at Old Navy again.
Double Edit: I've never seen a Big and Tall store that carries pants that are 30
x34/36. I've seen >32x34, but never my size. It's always geared toward either av

Guys, look at it like this. You go to a parts web site looking for a distributor
for your '53 Hudson Hornet. Would you rather sift through all of the distributo

to see a link to "Hudson engine parts" and get down to business. No mention of
Hudson, you go to the next site.

Get over yourself lady. We're never going to move towards equality or anything u
seful if stupid stuff like this keeps making headlines or front pages of website
s. "They put me on the bottom cause I'm white." "They put me off to the side cau
se I'm black." "They gave me two frames cause I'm fat."
People like yourself need to stop looking into useless things and do something p
roductive for this world.

Their responsive design is very grid based and they organized the sets into the
three pars; adults, kids, toddlers. There is no plus men's category so this sing
le category either had to take up two grid positions or go to the bottom as a si

A Canadian is born in the midst of a long and cold winter's night, when the spir
its of Moose and Beaver are taken by Grandfather Maple to a hockey rink. If Moos
e out scores Beaver, a boy is born. If Beaver beats Moose, a girl is born. Then
Grandfather Maple takes the child to Seal Fur Woman, who teaches the child its n
ame, the Canadian national anthem, and bestows upon it a love of gravy on French
fries. After that, a worthy Canadian couple, who have proven themselves fortudi
nous by surviving the harsh winter and Stephen Harper's roaming squad of attack
kittens in sweater vests, apologized profusely for all the fuss and is allowed t
o adopt the child from Grandfather Maple.

Another possibility is that the plus size girl would fill the entirety of the fr
ame in the normal grid size, making her size easier to compare to the other grid
s, and by comparison actually appear larger than she really is.
By giving her a larger frame size, and thus more white space on each side, it co
uld have a bit of a slimming effect compared to the others.

Not sure how well all that works though here, just some design theory i pulled o
ut of my ass.

I'm no expert, but my guess is that it has something to do with women's style be
ing tighter fitting. Whereas the relatively loose fitting pants worn by men can
accommodate legs of varying widths, with only the waist and length varying great
ly, the tight fitting pants worn by women are far less versatile. It's not hard
to imagine how manufacturing clothes for women is far more costly than it is for
men. Considering this along with the greater demand among the fairer sex for st
ylish clothing, I think we arrive at at least a plausible explanation for why th
ere is a women's plus and not a men's plus.

That's not true. They tried to set up women's clothing like mens, back in the 20
s. Thing is, men are built similarly - triangle - and are able to use the waist/
length method for purchasing off the rack.
When they did the same for women, it didn't work. The difference in body shape f
or a woman who carries in her stomach versus her ass is night and day. It also d
oesn't help that men wear 2 pieces always, whereas women (especially then) wore
a lot of dresses.
But it doesn't have to do with "getting away with" - they did try to standardize
the women's size.

Well, some 3/4 of their merchandise is for women(this includes female children)
anyway, not that I really give a fuck because I mainly wear jeans and tshirts an
yway.
Would I like a few more options? Yes. Is there much of a market in that one stor
e for those options, probably not- a quick look at the closets of every female r
elative of mine shows that they each have at least 3x the amount of clothing by
volume as me, going much longer before they "cycle through". Most of them are bu
ying these clothes of their own accord, so it stands to reason that it's not as
profitable under the current system to stock as much clothing for men as women.

I make ON promo emails and they usually make W doublewide since it gets the most

I read a very interesting research study conducted by a state board of health an

of their excess weight (through diet snd exercise - aka the healthy, progressive
way) are 55-65% less likely to experience depression symptoms; 80-92% reported
overall quality of life improvements that they called very significant.
Probably common sense, but hearing those numbers may act as a motivator for you!

Well, men don't have boobs, so that helps reduce body variations.
Other than that, men generally care about the "drop" between shoulders and waist
. This can vary a lot between fat guys, skinny-fat guys, lean athletic guys, and
built guys. I'm almost at the point where even "athletic" cuts don't quite have
enough drop and look kind of billowy on me, and I'm not even built. Actually bi

Women have relative variations in circumference around their boobs, waist and hi
ps. There's also variations in hips vs leg length.
Whereas men, if they are wider or longer around one of these areas, they are gen

erally wider or longer around all three.


Generally speaking, there are exceptions.
This is not probably not enough to explain all of the size difference in terms o
f men's clothing vs women's clothing, but it's certainly a factor.

I don't really know if there's a way to quantitatively answer that question.
Maybe standard deviation of men's waist/inseam/whatever vs. women's. But I don't

Anecdotally men's sizes are generally S/M/L/XL and then you add a few X's for th
e really big dudes. Whereas I doubt that any two girls who both wear a size 4 dr

Correct, many many upscale stores do not offer larger sizes for women, and imo i

. When I shopped at Walmart, they did not have women's dress slacks in my size b
ecause I was too small. Women my size don't shop at (that) Walmart often enough
to make it worth carrying a size smaller than 6. Also, they didn't sell dress sl

I don't buy dress slacks at Walmart but I had a... pants emergency.

Typical stores have 4 sizes of mens shirts (S-XL) and an assortment of pants usu
ally ranging from 28-40 waist and 30-38 inseam with an assortment of combination
s of waist/inseam with some styles that change the fit.
When you get into larger sizes they just start adding X's. I've litterally seen
"XXXXXL" printed on a tag, and I held up the shirt and it was about the size of
a bed sheet. It was right next to the M-L shirts I was shopping for, they were j
ust out of the sizes in-between.
Women don't want this setup. They don't want to see their XXXXXL equivalent next
to a XS/S/M shirt because they can see the discrepancy. They want to be guided
to their section where things fit, and see all the other clothes that are close
to the size they can fit into. It falls right into the vanity sizing mindset for
women's clothes.
I'll put it this way. Would you rather be told you're a 4XL or that you're a Rel
axed Fit Medium? Guys generally don't care, and women do. Which is why they call
it out that way.

It's frustrating that "vanity sizing" has crept over to men's clothing. It used

o to the fitting room with tower of jeans ranging in size from 28x30 to 34x32 ju
st to find something that fits right - and every brand is different so it's not
like you can just count on the size you got last time.
The whole point of putting numbers on the jeans was to make shopping easy! I'm a

if it means I can be in and out of the store in five minutes!

But on a more serious note: being overweight is bad for you. Especially later in
life. My great-aunt spent her last 15 years more or less unable to leave home.
My grandmother has hit the same problem. And now I'm worried that my mother is s
tarting to gain a lot of weight as she gets close to her 60s, and looking at wha
t she eats, it's blatantly obvious as to why. I'm not hating on my mother. But I
wish she would eat less and carry out a more healthy life-style especially beca
use she knows very well how miserable her own aunts later years were. If all thr
ee examples here were women, it's merely coincidence. My father is still thin as
a rake and still very active, as was his, and my grandfather on my mothers side
passed long ago.
If someone in our family is overweight we should try to help them, and if we are
ourselves, we should accept help offered.

Hey, as someone with PTSD I can explain what a trigger is like for me. I can be
just going about my business and I might smell something that reminds me of the
incident, and suddenly I'll be right back there feeling trapped and scared and a
nxious. Fight or flight kicks in. There are images of it happening in my mind. I
can't control it. And that's probably minor compared to what other people with
PTSD can experience.
Genuine triggers are awful. Purposely triggering someone (people actually do tha
t) is a fucking shitty thing to do. I think tumblr has trivialised the term "tri
gger" to the point where people with PTSD don't get taken seriously because they
get lumped in with the ones who take advantage of the term.
There should be a new term for PTSD survivors. "Trigger warning" has been corrup
ted. It's too vague. Something like "flashback warning" would be better.
People with PTSD genuinely need trigger (or flashback) warnings, it's not a joke

Fat men will generally look fine in the same clothes as skinny men, provided the

Men get a small range of sizes, and mostly terrible fitting clothing; women get
a much larger amount of sizes and two separate sections for the larger and the s
maller. Just chill out and try to see it from other perspectives besides just yo
ur own. I mean have you seen how ill-fitting clothing is for men unless they buy
specialty or get it tailored? We have S, M, L, XL, XXL, XXXL. And if you're not
one of those specific measurements that define one of the 6 main sizes, then yo
u're going to be between them and either have way too tight clothing, or way too
loose clothing. Take it from a guy who grew up constantly in-between sizes and
looking fat in everything. Oh and if you're too embarassed to shop for larger cl

othing, then you're just perpetuating "fat-shaming" and not practicing what you
preach about body pride. Don't like shopping for bigger clothes? Put in the work

Fat men also have more variety at standard stores. I've seen Old Navy push well
into the high 40 waists.
The problem is that it's a double standard. There is an infinitely higher bias t
oward overweight women than overweight men.
Both lifestyles are unhealthy, but unless you've been a fatty you don't understa
nd the struggle it takes to get away from there.
Food is a fucker and is an easy, shitty solution to many problems. I've been gui
lty for eating my feelings, especially those times where my weight has already b
een high. It's a lot easier to grab a DQ blizzard than it is to pull yourself up
and go get help.
It's taken me almost 40 years to change my mindset into a healthy one. I fucking
loved food. It's not an easy shift, especially if you've been raised to eat unh
ealthy.
Like when I quit smoking, it had to come from inside. And one thing I can tell y
ou is alienating overweight people isn't the solution. Pretending it doesn't exi
st or basically funnelling overweight people into "fat" stores also doesn't help
. It doesn't do great things to ones self esteem to have to go out of your way a

I find that the problem with food obsession/binging is somewhat different to mos

I didn't really want to respond, but this really bothered me. It's very narrow v

It's not always a matter of campaigning for an unhealthy lifestyle. You have to
dress for the body you have.
Shopping at a Big & Tall is a much different experience than shopping at stores
specifically targeted at plus size women (although options have improved greatly
for them over the years.) Many of thedr specialty stores have been known to cat
er towards an older demographic. The reality is there are younger women who are
plus size that want to wear the same trends their friends are wearing (prints, c
olors, silhouettes.) Just because a woman is a size 20 does not mean she only wa
nts to wear leopard prints and ruffles.
Also, keep in mind men's fashion and women's fashion are judged on different spe
ctrums. For instance, the male anchor who wore the same suit for a year.
Yes, obesity is an epidemic in America, but that doesn't mean they should be mar
ginalized.
Clothing is a fun means of expression for many people. If a person wants to patr
on a store and that store wants to cater to them what does it matter?

I never really thought about that. It sort of does show the difference in how of

What is this shit? How is "women's plus" any different than "big and tall?" "Big

You're also completely ignoring stores like "Lane Bryant."

I don't see how you could argue it is MORE of a euphemism.
Plus size seems like more of a euphemism than big. And tall isn't a substitution
for anything, unless you would prefer they use the term "lamppost" to make sure
they aren't overusing euphemisms.

The weird part is, Old Navy DOES have a "Big and Tall" selection in their mens c
lothing, but you don't really see it until you click on the item you want to buy
.
But the womens stuff is separated out as a whole new category of "Womens Plus"
permalink
[ ]queenbrewer 21 points 5 hours ago
I think this is partially because plus sized women's clothing needs to be design
ed more differently than plus sized men's clothing, which usually is just larger
cuts of the same styles.

Plus models are typically 6 foot size 12's. That's in no way obese. Indeed, tall
women wearing the lower end of plus sizes aren't likely to be obese.

I get why plus sizes get there own category. If a big girl is checking out a sto

their size. That doesn't really explain why their category is wider on that pag
e...
Guys, look at it like this. You go to a parts web site looking for a distributor
for your '53 Hudson Hornet. Would you rather sift through all of the distributo
rs before you discover that they only carry Ford and Chevy parts? Nope, you want
to see a link to "Hudson engine parts" and get down to business. No mention of
Hudson, you go to the next site.
My wife is a big girl and she gets damn frustrated when she sees something she l
ikes, chooses a color and then finds that it isn't available in plus size.
Before you give women too much shit about "enabling an unhealthy lifestyle" you
should also understand that in the clothing industry 'plus size' does not necess
arily mean 400lb folks.

The only legitimate reason I can think of is that the majority of Old Navy custo
mers are plus sized women. Whenever we get a shipment of a product, there are al
most double the amount of larger sizes. Maybe they were trying to give more obvi
ous access to clothing for their (literally) biggest consumer. Gap Inc is usuall
y very literal with their advertisment (eg. Gap toothed women as models for a lo

We repopulate when the snow hits. Our young build snowmen that Elsa, praised be

gives us our natural ability to command over our polar bear cavalry, armored moo

Another possibility is that the plus size girl would fill the entirety of the fr

s, and by comparison actually appear larger than she really is.
By giving her a larger frame size, and thus more white space on each side, it co
uld have a bit of a slimming effect compared to the others.

I'm no expert, but my guess is that it has something to do with women's style be
ing tighter fitting. Whereas the relatively loose fitting pants worn by men can
accommodate legs of varying widths, with only the waist and length varying great

ly, the tight fitting pants worn by women are far less versatile. It's not hard
to imagine how manufacturing clothes for women is far more costly than it is for
men. Considering this along with the greater demand among the fairer sex for st
ylish clothing, I think we arrive at at least a plausible explanation for why th
ere is a women's plus and not a men's plus.

That's not true. They tried to set up women's clothing like mens, back in the 20
s. Thing is, men are built similarly - triangle - and are able to use the waist/
length method for purchasing off the rack.
When they did the same for women, it didn't work. The difference in body shape f
or a woman who carries in her stomach versus her ass is night and day. It also d
oesn't help that men wear 2 pieces always, whereas women (especially then) wore

a lot of dresses.
But it doesn't have to do with "getting away with" - they did try to standardize

Well, some 3/4 of their merchandise is for women(this includes female children)

Would I like a few more options? Yes. Is there much of a market in that one stor
e for those options, probably not- a quick look at the closets of every female r
elative of mine shows that they each have at least 3x the amount of clothing by
volume as me, going much longer before they "cycle through". Most of them are bu
ying these clothes of their own accord, so it stands to reason that it's not as
profitable under the current system to stock as much clothing for men as women.

Well, men don't have boobs, so that helps reduce body variations.
Other than that, men generally care about the "drop" between shoulders and waist

built guys. I'm almost at the point where even "athletic" cuts don't quite have
enough drop and look kind of billowy on me, and I'm not even built. Actually bi

Women have relative variations in circumference around their boobs, waist and hi

Whereas men, if they are wider or longer around one of these areas, they are gen
erally wider or longer around all three.
Generally speaking, there are exceptions.
This is not probably not enough to explain all of the size difference in terms o

I'm fairly certain most women's clothing have arbitrary size cut offs, because A

Correct, many many upscale stores do not offer larger sizes for women, and imo i
t's a financial decision on their part, nothing more. It works the other way too
. When I shopped at Walmart, they did not have women's dress slacks in my size b
ecause I was too small. Women my size don't shop at (that) Walmart often enough
to make it worth carrying a size smaller than 6. Also, they didn't sell dress sl
acks for little girls, so I had to purchase little boy's dress slacks. Normally
I don't buy dress slacks at Walmart but I had a... pants emergency.

That basically is why there are separate garments in each section. There are som

not all regular ones can be cut to suit a larger frame. So there's a separate s
election.
They're separate for the sake of ease in shopping.

6'8" chubby guy here. Mens sections RARELY have over XL size shirts, and they NE
VER, EVER, EVER have 2XL AND tall styles. I can get a 3XL shirt and have it be 3
feet too wide, BUT have the length for the shirt to cover my freaking stomach,
OR go with a nicer-fitting 2XL and look like a belly-dancer.
It doesn't matter overall though, because 99% of stores, as I said, don't go ove
r XL.
And don't you even fucking get me started on shoes.. the pair I have right now h
ave holes in them because I just simply don't want to go through the months-long
process of having shoes shipped to you to try them on, and ship them back when
they aren't good enough just to order another pair to try (And yes I can just or
der many pairs in bulk at once and ship back the rest you don't want, but compan

Typical stores have 4 sizes of mens shirts (S-XL) and an assortment of pants usu
ally ranging from 28-40 waist and 30-38 inseam with an assortment of combination
s of waist/inseam with some styles that change the fit.
When you get into larger sizes they just start adding X's. I've litterally seen
"XXXXXL" printed on a tag, and I held up the shirt and it was about the size of
a bed sheet. It was right next to the M-L shirts I was shopping for, they were j
ust out of the sizes in-between.
Women don't want this setup. They don't want to see their XXXXXL equivalent next
to a XS/S/M shirt because they can see the discrepancy. They want to be guided
to their section where things fit, and see all the other clothes that are close
to the size they can fit into. It falls right into the vanity sizing mindset for
women's clothes.
I'll put it this way. Would you rather be told you're a 4XL or that you're a Rel
axed Fit Medium? Guys generally don't care, and women do. Which is why they call
it out that way.

It's frustrating that "vanity sizing" has crept over to men's clothing. It used
to be so easy to find a pair of pants that fit. Once I knew my inseam and waist
size, I could pick out a pair without even having to try it on. Now, I have to g
o to the fitting room with tower of jeans ranging in size from 28x30 to 34x32 ju
st to find something that fits right - and every brand is different so it's not
like you can just count on the size you got last time.
The whole point of putting numbers on the jeans was to make shopping easy! I'm a
man. I don't care if my clothes literally call me a fat ass while I put them on
if it means I can be in and out of the store in five minutes!

en's clothing that are plus sizes actually fit quite differently so you can't ju
st get the same style and add a few inches here and there and hope it looks good
. Girls who wear plus sizes are looking for different styles as well. Women's cl

shirts and pants.

I really don't get it. I think big dudes need to lose weight just as much as I t

But on a more serious note: being overweight is bad for you. Especially later in
life. My great-aunt spent her last 15 years more or less unable to leave home.
My grandmother has hit the same problem. And now I'm worried that my mother is s
tarting to gain a lot of weight as she gets close to her 60s, and looking at wha
t she eats, it's blatantly obvious as to why. I'm not hating on my mother. But I
wish she would eat less and carry out a more healthy life-style especially beca
use she knows very well how miserable her own aunts later years were. If all thr
ee examples here were women, it's merely coincidence. My father is still thin as
a rake and still very active, as was his, and my grandfather on my mothers side
passed long ago.
If someone in our family is overweight we should try to help them, and if we are
ourselves, we should accept help offered.

Hey, as someone with PTSD I can explain what a trigger is like for me. I can be
just going about my business and I might smell something that reminds me of the
incident, and suddenly I'll be right back there feeling trapped and scared and a
nxious. Fight or flight kicks in. There are images of it happening in my mind. I
can't control it. And that's probably minor compared to what other people with
PTSD can experience.
Genuine triggers are awful. Purposely triggering someone (people actually do tha
t) is a fucking shitty thing to do. I think tumblr has trivialised the term "tri
gger" to the point where people with PTSD don't get taken seriously because they
get lumped in with the ones who take advantage of the term.
There should be a new term for PTSD survivors. "Trigger warning" has been corrup
ted. It's too vague. Something like "flashback warning" would be better.
People with PTSD genuinely need trigger (or flashback) warnings, it's not a joke
. A bad trigger can push someone over the edge.

Plus size clothes are labeled either XXL, XXXL etc., or 1X, 2X, etc. They're sol

Men get a small range of sizes, and mostly terrible fitting clothing; women get
a much larger amount of sizes and two separate sections for the larger and the s
maller. Just chill out and try to see it from other perspectives besides just yo
ur own. I mean have you seen how ill-fitting clothing is for men unless they buy
specialty or get it tailored? We have S, M, L, XL, XXL, XXXL. And if you're not
one of those specific measurements that define one of the 6 main sizes, then yo
u're going to be between them and either have way too tight clothing, or way too
loose clothing. Take it from a guy who grew up constantly in-between sizes and
looking fat in everything. Oh and if you're too embarassed to shop for larger cl
othing, then you're just perpetuating "fat-shaming" and not practicing what you
preach about body pride. Don't like shopping for bigger clothes? Put in the work
to make your body smaller or get over it.

Fat men also have more variety at standard stores. I've seen Old Navy push well
into the high 40 waists.
The problem is that it's a double standard. There is an infinitely higher bias t
oward overweight women than overweight men.
Both lifestyles are unhealthy, but unless you've been a fatty you don't understa
nd the struggle it takes to get away from there.
Food is a fucker and is an easy, shitty solution to many problems. I've been gui
lty for eating my feelings, especially those times where my weight has already b
een high. It's a lot easier to grab a DQ blizzard than it is to pull yourself up
and go get help.

It's taken me almost 40 years to change my mindset into a healthy one. I fucking
loved food. It's not an easy shift, especially if you've been raised to eat unh
ealthy.
Like when I quit smoking, it had to come from inside. And one thing I can tell y
ou is alienating overweight people isn't the solution. Pretending it doesn't exi
st or basically funnelling overweight people into "fat" stores also doesn't help
. It doesn't do great things to ones self esteem to have to go out of your way a
nd shop at these kinds of stores.

I find that the problem with food obsession/binging is somewhat different to mos

I didn't really want to respond, but this really bothered me. It's very narrow v

It's not always a matter of campaigning for an unhealthy lifestyle. You have to
dress for the body you have.
Shopping at a Big & Tall is a much different experience than shopping at stores
specifically targeted at plus size women (although options have improved greatly
for them over the years.) Many of thedr specialty stores have been known to cat
er towards an older demographic. The reality is there are younger women who are
plus size that want to wear the same trends their friends are wearing (prints, c
olors, silhouettes.) Just because a woman is a size 20 does not mean she only wa
nts to wear leopard prints and ruffles.
Also, keep in mind men's fashion and women's fashion are judged on different spe
ctrums. For instance, the male anchor who wore the same suit for a year.
Yes, obesity is an epidemic in America, but that doesn't mean they should be mar
ginalized.
Clothing is a fun means of expression for many people. If a person wants to patr
on a store and that store wants to cater to them what does it matter?

Double Edit: I've never seen a Big and Tall store that carries pants that are 30

They do, the rule is the fat person must fit in the seat with the armrests down.
If they insist on leaving them up just call a flight attendant who will find th
em another seat or if the flight is fully booked remove them from the plane. Fat
people can purchase two seats if they wish, and they'll even refund the extra s
eat on Southwest!

Old navy has been getting some negative lime light over their plus side clothing
recently. Apparently, they charge more for a larger size of the same item in wo
men's clothing (not so for men's).

I get why plus sizes get there own category. If a big girl is checking out a sto
re for the first time, they want to know quickly if they might have something in

their size. That doesn't really explain why their category is wider on that pag
e...
Guys, look at it like this. You go to a parts web site looking for a distributor
for your '53 Hudson Hornet. Would you rather sift through all of the distributo
rs before you discover that they only carry Ford and Chevy parts? Nope, you want
to see a link to "Hudson engine parts" and get down to business. No mention of
Hudson, you go to the next site.
My wife is a big girl and she gets damn frustrated when she sees something she l
ikes, chooses a color and then finds that it isn't available in plus size.
Before you give women too much shit about "enabling an unhealthy lifestyle" you
should also understand that in the clothing industry 'plus size' does not necess
arily mean 400lb folks.

The only legitimate reason I can think of is that the majority of Old Navy custo
mers are plus sized women. Whenever we get a shipment of a product, there are al
most double the amount of larger sizes. Maybe they were trying to give more obvi
ous access to clothing for their (literally) biggest consumer. Gap Inc is usuall
y very literal with their advertisment (eg. Gap toothed women as models for a lo
t of their posters)

It's all marketing. Nothing else would match well with "women's plus" (except if

Their responsive design is very grid based and they organized the sets into the
three pars; adults, kids, toddlers. There is no plus men's category so this sing
le category either had to take up two grid positions or go to the bottom as a si
ngle grid otherwise it would mess up their side by side organization. Regardless

A Canadian is born in the midst of a long and cold winter's night, when the spir

Grandfather Maple takes the child to Seal Fur Woman, who teaches the child its n

fries. After that, a worthy Canadian couple, who have proven themselves fortudi

kittens in sweater vests, apologized profusely for all the fuss and is allowed t

Another possibility is that the plus size girl would fill the entirety of the fr
ame in the normal grid size, making her size easier to compare to the other grid
s, and by comparison actually appear larger than she really is.
By giving her a larger frame size, and thus more white space on each side, it co
uld have a bit of a slimming effect compared to the others.
Not sure how well all that works though here, just some design theory i pulled o

I'm no expert, but my guess is that it has something to do with women's style be
ing tighter fitting. Whereas the relatively loose fitting pants worn by men can
accommodate legs of varying widths, with only the waist and length varying great
ly, the tight fitting pants worn by women are far less versatile. It's not hard
to imagine how manufacturing clothes for women is far more costly than it is for
men. Considering this along with the greater demand among the fairer sex for st
ylish clothing, I think we arrive at at least a plausible explanation for why th
ere is a women's plus and not a men's plus.

That's not true. They tried to set up women's clothing like mens, back in the 20
s. Thing is, men are built similarly - triangle - and are able to use the waist/
length method for purchasing off the rack.
When they did the same for women, it didn't work. The difference in body shape f
or a woman who carries in her stomach versus her ass is night and day. It also d
oesn't help that men wear 2 pieces always, whereas women (especially then) wore
a lot of dresses.
But it doesn't have to do with "getting away with" - they did try to standardize
the women's size.

elative of mine shows that they each have at least 3x the amount of clothing by
volume as me, going much longer before they "cycle through". Most of them are bu

built guys. I'm almost at the point where even "athletic" cuts don't quite have
enough drop and look kind of billowy on me, and I'm not even built. Actually bi

Women have relative variations in circumference around their boobs, waist and hi

Whereas men, if they are wider or longer around one of these areas, they are gen
erally wider or longer around all three.
Generally speaking, there are exceptions.
This is not probably not enough to explain all of the size difference in terms o

Typical stores have 4 sizes of mens shirts (S-XL) and an assortment of pants usu
ally ranging from 28-40 waist and 30-38 inseam with an assortment of combination
s of waist/inseam with some styles that change the fit.
When you get into larger sizes they just start adding X's. I've litterally seen
"XXXXXL" printed on a tag, and I held up the shirt and it was about the size of
a bed sheet. It was right next to the M-L shirts I was shopping for, they were j
ust out of the sizes in-between.
Women don't want this setup. They don't want to see their XXXXXL equivalent next
to a XS/S/M shirt because they can see the discrepancy. They want to be guided
to their section where things fit, and see all the other clothes that are close
to the size they can fit into. It falls right into the vanity sizing mindset for
women's clothes.
I'll put it this way. Would you rather be told you're a 4XL or that you're a Rel
axed Fit Medium? Guys generally don't care, and women do. Which is why they call
it out that way.

They want to be guided to their section where things fit
Not so much. I was suit shopping at Macy's and when the regular size 16 jacket d
idn't work, I asked the lady working there if there were any bigger sizes and sh
e pointed to this whole other section of the store, kind of in the back. I felt
like I was lesser for needing to go over there. I know I'm overweight, I put the
food in my mouth, but it doesn't make clothes shopping any less painful.

[ ]Tattis 26 points 6 hours ago
It's frustrating that "vanity sizing" has crept over to men's clothing. It used
to be so easy to find a pair of pants that fit. Once I knew my inseam and waist
size, I could pick out a pair without even having to try it on. Now, I have to g
o to the fitting room with tower of jeans ranging in size from 28x30 to 34x32 ju
st to find something that fits right - and every brand is different so it's not
like you can just count on the size you got last time.
The whole point of putting numbers on the jeans was to make shopping easy! I'm a
man. I don't care if my clothes literally call me a fat ass while I put them on
if it means I can be in and out of the store in five minutes!

them. Surprise! None of them truly fit. 1 pair was skin tight and the other two
were unbutton-able. It's insane!

I used to be a buyer in women's fashion so I can explain this quite easily. Ther
e is no agenda to make females feel bad. You are our customers we want you to fe
el good. Other than that woman's fashion companies produce clothing in only smal
l medium and large for the most part because it's cheaper to produce them that w
ay. By adding in another size you're adding a huge amount of inventory. Also wom
en's clothing that are plus sizes actually fit quite differently so you can't ju
st get the same style and add a few inches here and there and hope it looks good
. Girls who wear plus sizes are looking for different styles as well. Women's cl
othing have much more variety in styles where as men's sections are pretty much
shirts and pants.

I really don't get it. I think big dudes need to lose weight just as much as I t
hink big women do. I suppose I discriminate equally.
But on a more serious note: being overweight is bad for you. Especially later in
life. My great-aunt spent her last 15 years more or less unable to leave home.
My grandmother has hit the same problem. And now I'm worried that my mother is s
tarting to gain a lot of weight as she gets close to her 60s, and looking at wha
t she eats, it's blatantly obvious as to why. I'm not hating on my mother. But I
wish she would eat less and carry out a more healthy life-style especially beca
use she knows very well how miserable her own aunts later years were. If all thr
ee examples here were women, it's merely coincidence. My father is still thin as
a rake and still very active, as was his, and my grandfather on my mothers side
passed long ago.
If someone in our family is overweight we should try to help them, and if we are
ourselves, we should accept help offered.

Sure. Triggers in real life are things that can trigger a negative flashback or

When I was in treatment for my eating disorder, a "trigger" was something that t

When something, whether it be words, images, a person, etc... causes (triggers)
someone to re-experience a traumatic memory. Example: rape victims sometimes bec
ome incredibly anxious when their rapist enters the room, or fireworks can set o
ff flashbacks for soldiers with PTSD.
Yes, sometimes people feel uncomfortable around criticism and call it a "trigger
" to shut down conversation, but I think many triggers are legitimate. Reddit do
esn't seem to think that's the case.

Hey, as someone with PTSD I can explain what a trigger is like for me. I can be
just going about my business and I might smell something that reminds me of the
incident, and suddenly I'll be right back there feeling trapped and scared and a
nxious. Fight or flight kicks in. There are images of it happening in my mind. I
can't control it. And that's probably minor compared to what other people with
PTSD can experience.
Genuine triggers are awful. Purposely triggering someone (people actually do tha
t) is a fucking shitty thing to do. I think tumblr has trivialised the term "tri
gger" to the point where people with PTSD don't get taken seriously because they
get lumped in with the ones who take advantage of the term.
There should be a new term for PTSD survivors. "Trigger warning" has been corrup
ted. It's too vague. Something like "flashback warning" would be better.
People with PTSD genuinely need trigger (or flashback) warnings, it's not a joke
. A bad trigger can push someone over the edge.

Fat men will generally look fine in the same clothes as skinny men, provided the
y are sized properly. Normal women's clothes will look terrible on a "plus size"
woman, because women's clothes are designed for certain body types. Men's cloth
es are more generic.

Old Navy carry mens' sizes in up to XXXL shirts and 48 inch waist jeans. The "pl

Plus size clothes are labeled either XXL, XXXL etc., or 1X, 2X, etc. They're sol

Additionally, the clothes are usually far uglier than the cute skinny people clo

Men get a small range of sizes, and mostly terrible fitting clothing; women get
a much larger amount of sizes and two separate sections for the larger and the s
maller. Just chill out and try to see it from other perspectives besides just yo
ur own. I mean have you seen how ill-fitting clothing is for men unless they buy
specialty or get it tailored? We have S, M, L, XL, XXL, XXXL. And if you're not
one of those specific measurements that define one of the 6 main sizes, then yo
u're going to be between them and either have way too tight clothing, or way too
loose clothing. Take it from a guy who grew up constantly in-between sizes and
looking fat in everything. Oh and if you're too embarassed to shop for larger cl
othing, then you're just perpetuating "fat-shaming" and not practicing what you
preach about body pride. Don't like shopping for bigger clothes? Put in the work
to make your body smaller or get over it.

Fat men also have more variety at standard stores. I've seen Old Navy push well
into the high 40 waists.
The problem is that it's a double standard. There is an infinitely higher bias t
oward overweight women than overweight men.
Both lifestyles are unhealthy, but unless you've been a fatty you don't understa
nd the struggle it takes to get away from there.
Food is a fucker and is an easy, shitty solution to many problems. I've been gui
lty for eating my feelings, especially those times where my weight has already b
een high. It's a lot easier to grab a DQ blizzard than it is to pull yourself up
and go get help.
It's taken me almost 40 years to change my mindset into a healthy one. I fucking
loved food. It's not an easy shift, especially if you've been raised to eat unh
ealthy.
Like when I quit smoking, it had to come from inside. And one thing I can tell y
ou is alienating overweight people isn't the solution. Pretending it doesn't exi
st or basically funnelling overweight people into "fat" stores also doesn't help
. It doesn't do great things to ones self esteem to have to go out of your way a
nd shop at these kinds of stores.

I find that the problem with food obsession/binging is somewhat different to mos

around it, unless you live off an IV (can you do that?).

I didn't really want to respond, but this really bothered me. It's very narrow v

It's not always a matter of campaigning for an unhealthy lifestyle. You have to
dress for the body you have.
Shopping at a Big & Tall is a much different experience than shopping at stores
specifically targeted at plus size women (although options have improved greatly
for them over the years.) Many of thedr specialty stores have been known to cat
er towards an older demographic. The reality is there are younger women who are
plus size that want to wear the same trends their friends are wearing (prints, c
olors, silhouettes.) Just because a woman is a size 20 does not mean she only wa
nts to wear leopard prints and ruffles.
Also, keep in mind men's fashion and women's fashion are judged on different spe
ctrums. For instance, the male anchor who wore the same suit for a year.
Yes, obesity is an epidemic in America, but that doesn't mean they should be mar
ginalized.
Clothing is a fun means of expression for many people. If a person wants to patr
on a store and that store wants to cater to them what does it matter?

I never really thought about that. It sort of does show the difference in how of

as there are people who fit the big+tall category, so that'll probably never ha

EDIT: I feel like I'm working at Old Navy again.


Double Edit: I've never seen a Big and Tall store that carries pants that are 30

It's all marketing. Nothing else would match well with "women's plus" (except if
there was a "men's plus") Regardless, it's matched by pairs. "Man" and "women"
look better side by side than "man" and "women's plus".

Their responsive design is very grid based and they organized the sets into the
three pars; adults, kids, toddlers. There is no plus men's category so this sing

A Canadian is born in the midst of a long and cold winter's night, when the spir
its of Moose and Beaver are taken by Grandfather Maple to a hockey rink. If Moos
e out scores Beaver, a boy is born. If Beaver beats Moose, a girl is born. Then
Grandfather Maple takes the child to Seal Fur Woman, who teaches the child its n
ame, the Canadian national anthem, and bestows upon it a love of gravy on French
fries. After that, a worthy Canadian couple, who have proven themselves fortudi
nous by surviving the harsh winter and Stephen Harper's roaming squad of attack
kittens in sweater vests, apologized profusely for all the fuss and is allowed t
o adopt the child from Grandfather Maple.

Another possibility is that the plus size girl would fill the entirety of the fr
ame in the normal grid size, making her size easier to compare to the other grid
s, and by comparison actually appear larger than she really is.
By giving her a larger frame size, and thus more white space on each side, it co
uld have a bit of a slimming effect compared to the others.
Not sure how well all that works though here, just some design theory i pulled o
ut of my ass.

I'm no expert, but my guess is that it has something to do with women's style be
ing tighter fitting. Whereas the relatively loose fitting pants worn by men can
accommodate legs of varying widths, with only the waist and length varying great
ly, the tight fitting pants worn by women are far less versatile. It's not hard
to imagine how manufacturing clothes for women is far more costly than it is for
men. Considering this along with the greater demand among the fairer sex for st
ylish clothing, I think we arrive at at least a plausible explanation for why th
ere is a women's plus and not a men's plus.

That's not true. They tried to set up women's clothing like mens, back in the 20
s. Thing is, men are built similarly - triangle - and are able to use the waist/
length method for purchasing off the rack.
When they did the same for women, it didn't work. The difference in body shape f
or a woman who carries in her stomach versus her ass is night and day. It also d
oesn't help that men wear 2 pieces always, whereas women (especially then) wore
a lot of dresses.
But it doesn't have to do with "getting away with" - they did try to standardize
the women's size.

Well, some 3/4 of their merchandise is for women(this includes female children)
anyway, not that I really give a fuck because I mainly wear jeans and tshirts an
yway.
Would I like a few more options? Yes. Is there much of a market in that one stor
e for those options, probably not- a quick look at the closets of every female r
elative of mine shows that they each have at least 3x the amount of clothing by
volume as me, going much longer before they "cycle through". Most of them are bu
ying these clothes of their own accord, so it stands to reason that it's not as
profitable under the current system to stock as much clothing for men as women.
I'll take my long-sleeved shirts, thank you.

Well, men don't have boobs, so that helps reduce body variations.
Other than that, men generally care about the "drop" between shoulders and waist
. This can vary a lot between fat guys, skinny-fat guys, lean athletic guys, and
built guys. I'm almost at the point where even "athletic" cuts don't quite have
enough drop and look kind of billowy on me, and I'm not even built. Actually bi
g dudes need to get almost everything tailored so it doesn't look like you're we
aring a garbage bag.

Women have relative variations in circumference around their boobs, waist and hi
ps. There's also variations in hips vs leg length.
Whereas men, if they are wider or longer around one of these areas, they are gen
erally wider or longer around all three.
Generally speaking, there are exceptions.
This is not probably not enough to explain all of the size difference in terms o
f men's clothing vs women's clothing, but it's certainly a factor.

I don't really know if there's a way to quantitatively answer that question.


Maybe standard deviation of men's waist/inseam/whatever vs. women's. But I don't
know if those kind of statistics are out there.
Anecdotally men's sizes are generally S/M/L/XL and then you add a few X's for th
e really big dudes. Whereas I doubt that any two girls who both wear a size 4 dr
ess look very similar in terms of body shape.

Correct, many many upscale stores do not offer larger sizes for women, and imo i

. When I shopped at Walmart, they did not have women's dress slacks in my size b
ecause I was too small. Women my size don't shop at (that) Walmart often enough
to make it worth carrying a size smaller than 6. Also, they didn't sell dress sl

I don't buy dress slacks at Walmart but I had a... pants emergency.

Typical stores have 4 sizes of mens shirts (S-XL) and an assortment of pants usu
ally ranging from 28-40 waist and 30-38 inseam with an assortment of combination
s of waist/inseam with some styles that change the fit.

When you get into larger sizes they just start adding X's. I've litterally seen
"XXXXXL" printed on a tag, and I held up the shirt and it was about the size of
a bed sheet. It was right next to the M-L shirts I was shopping for, they were j
ust out of the sizes in-between.
Women don't want this setup. They don't want to see their XXXXXL equivalent next
to a XS/S/M shirt because they can see the discrepancy. They want to be guided
to their section where things fit, and see all the other clothes that are close
to the size they can fit into. It falls right into the vanity sizing mindset for
women's clothes.
I'll put it this way. Would you rather be told you're a 4XL or that you're a Rel
axed Fit Medium? Guys generally don't care, and women do. Which is why they call
it out that way.

It's frustrating that "vanity sizing" has crept over to men's clothing. It used

size, I could pick out a pair without even having to try it on. Now, I have to g
o to the fitting room with tower of jeans ranging in size from 28x30 to 34x32 ju
st to find something that fits right - and every brand is different so it's not
like you can just count on the size you got last time.
The whole point of putting numbers on the jeans was to make shopping easy! I'm a

if it means I can be in and out of the store in five minutes!

en's clothing that are plus sizes actually fit quite differently so you can't ju
st get the same style and add a few inches here and there and hope it looks good

. Girls who wear plus sizes are looking for different styles as well. Women's cl

I really don't get it. I think big dudes need to lose weight just as much as I t

But on a more serious note: being overweight is bad for you. Especially later in
life. My great-aunt spent her last 15 years more or less unable to leave home.
My grandmother has hit the same problem. And now I'm worried that my mother is s
tarting to gain a lot of weight as she gets close to her 60s, and looking at wha
t she eats, it's blatantly obvious as to why. I'm not hating on my mother. But I
wish she would eat less and carry out a more healthy life-style especially beca
use she knows very well how miserable her own aunts later years were. If all thr
ee examples here were women, it's merely coincidence. My father is still thin as
a rake and still very active, as was his, and my grandfather on my mothers side
passed long ago.
If someone in our family is overweight we should try to help them, and if we are
ourselves, we should accept help offered.

Basically. But it's important to note that the term trigger as a whole isn't com
pletely bullshit. There are legitimate triggers, like rape, extreme violence, et
c that should be noted/marked.
permalinkparent

Could even be innocent smells, sounds or other sensory experiences. For example,
a particular smell of diesel might take a Humvee mechanic to Iraq. The sound of
a gunshot might take a soldier to a firefight.

When I was in treatment for my eating disorder, a "trigger" was something that t
riggered your unhealthy behavior. Like, going to the grocery store was a trigger
for me because of the laxative section. It was very difficult for me to stay aw
ay from it. Hopefully that makes sense?

When something, whether it be words, images, a person, etc... causes (triggers)
someone to re-experience a traumatic memory. Example: rape victims sometimes bec
ome incredibly anxious when their rapist enters the room, or fireworks can set o
ff flashbacks for soldiers with PTSD.
Yes, sometimes people feel uncomfortable around criticism and call it a "trigger
" to shut down conversation, but I think many triggers are legitimate. Reddit do
esn't seem to think that's the case.

Hey, as someone with PTSD I can explain what a trigger is like for me. I can be
just going about my business and I might smell something that reminds me of the
incident, and suddenly I'll be right back there feeling trapped and scared and a
nxious. Fight or flight kicks in. There are images of it happening in my mind. I
can't control it. And that's probably minor compared to what other people with
PTSD can experience.
Genuine triggers are awful. Purposely triggering someone (people actually do tha
t) is a fucking shitty thing to do. I think tumblr has trivialised the term "tri
gger" to the point where people with PTSD don't get taken seriously because they
get lumped in with the ones who take advantage of the term.
There should be a new term for PTSD survivors. "Trigger warning" has been corrup
ted. It's too vague. Something like "flashback warning" would be better.
People with PTSD genuinely need trigger (or flashback) warnings, it's not a joke
. A bad trigger can push someone over the edge.

Men get a small range of sizes, and mostly terrible fitting clothing; women get
a much larger amount of sizes and two separate sections for the larger and the s
maller. Just chill out and try to see it from other perspectives besides just yo
ur own. I mean have you seen how ill-fitting clothing is for men unless they buy
specialty or get it tailored? We have S, M, L, XL, XXL, XXXL. And if you're not
one of those specific measurements that define one of the 6 main sizes, then yo
u're going to be between them and either have way too tight clothing, or way too
loose clothing. Take it from a guy who grew up constantly in-between sizes and
looking fat in everything. Oh and if you're too embarassed to shop for larger cl
othing, then you're just perpetuating "fat-shaming" and not practicing what you
preach about body pride. Don't like shopping for bigger clothes? Put in the work
to make your body smaller or get over it.

Fat men also have more variety at standard stores. I've seen Old Navy push well
into the high 40 waists.
The problem is that it's a double standard. There is an infinitely higher bias t
oward overweight women than overweight men.
Both lifestyles are unhealthy, but unless you've been a fatty you don't understa
nd the struggle it takes to get away from there.
Food is a fucker and is an easy, shitty solution to many problems. I've been gui
lty for eating my feelings, especially those times where my weight has already b
een high. It's a lot easier to grab a DQ blizzard than it is to pull yourself up
and go get help.
It's taken me almost 40 years to change my mindset into a healthy one. I fucking
loved food. It's not an easy shift, especially if you've been raised to eat unh
ealthy.
Like when I quit smoking, it had to come from inside. And one thing I can tell y
ou is alienating overweight people isn't the solution. Pretending it doesn't exi
st or basically funnelling overweight people into "fat" stores also doesn't help
. It doesn't do great things to ones self esteem to have to go out of your way a

I didn't really want to respond, but this really bothered me. It's very narrow v
iew.
It's not always a matter of campaigning for an unhealthy lifestyle. You have to

dress for the body you have.


Shopping at a Big & Tall is a much different experience than shopping at stores
specifically targeted at plus size women (although options have improved greatly
for them over the years.) Many of thedr specialty stores have been known to cat
er towards an older demographic. The reality is there are younger women who are
plus size that want to wear the same trends their friends are wearing (prints, c
olors, silhouettes.) Just because a woman is a size 20 does not mean she only wa
nts to wear leopard prints and ruffles.
Also, keep in mind men's fashion and women's fashion are judged on different spe
ctrums. For instance, the male anchor who wore the same suit for a year.
Yes, obesity is an epidemic in America, but that doesn't mean they should be mar
ginalized.
Clothing is a fun means of expression for many people. If a person wants to patr
on a store and that store wants to cater to them what does it matter?

instead of campaigning to normalize unhealthy lifestyles.
To be fair, while most plus sizes can be considered unhealthy, in some stores, t
he plus sizes start at a somewhat healthy weight.

I never really thought about that. It sort of does show the difference in how of
fended sexes get over their perceived size. I do wish there would be a thin+tall
store though. There probably aren't nearly as many people who fit that category
as there are people who fit the big+tall category, so that'll probably never ha
ppen. But dammit, I want more options for 30x34/30x36 pants!
EDIT: I feel like I'm working at Old Navy again.
Double Edit: I've never seen a Big and Tall store that carries pants that are 30
x34/36. I've seen >32x34, but never my size. It's always geared toward either av
erage builds that are very tall, or average sized guys that are very fat.

I get why plus sizes get there own category. If a big girl is checking out a sto

Guys, look at it like this. You go to a parts web site looking for a distributor
for your '53 Hudson Hornet. Would you rather sift through all of the distributo
rs before you discover that they only carry Ford and Chevy parts? Nope, you want
to see a link to "Hudson engine parts" and get down to business. No mention of
Hudson, you go to the next site.
My wife is a big girl and she gets damn frustrated when she sees something she l
ikes, chooses a color and then finds that it isn't available in plus size.
Before you give women too much shit about "enabling an unhealthy lifestyle" you
should also understand that in the clothing industry 'plus size' does not necess
arily mean 400lb folks.

Their responsive design is very grid based and they organized the sets into the
three pars; adults, kids, toddlers. There is no plus men's category so this sing
le category either had to take up two grid positions or go to the bottom as a si

A Canadian is born in the midst of a long and cold winter's night, when the spir
its of Moose and Beaver are taken by Grandfather Maple to a hockey rink. If Moos
e out scores Beaver, a boy is born. If Beaver beats Moose, a girl is born. Then
Grandfather Maple takes the child to Seal Fur Woman, who teaches the child its n
ame, the Canadian national anthem, and bestows upon it a love of gravy on French
fries. After that, a worthy Canadian couple, who have proven themselves fortudi
nous by surviving the harsh winter and Stephen Harper's roaming squad of attack
kittens in sweater vests, apologized profusely for all the fuss and is allowed t
o adopt the child from Grandfather Maple.

Another possibility is that the plus size girl would fill the entirety of the fr
ame in the normal grid size, making her size easier to compare to the other grid
s, and by comparison actually appear larger than she really is.
By giving her a larger frame size, and thus more white space on each side, it co
uld have a bit of a slimming effect compared to the others.
Not sure how well all that works though here, just some design theory i pulled o
ut of my ass.

I'm no expert, but my guess is that it has something to do with women's style be
ing tighter fitting. Whereas the relatively loose fitting pants worn by men can
accommodate legs of varying widths, with only the waist and length varying great
ly, the tight fitting pants worn by women are far less versatile. It's not hard
to imagine how manufacturing clothes for women is far more costly than it is for
men. Considering this along with the greater demand among the fairer sex for st
ylish clothing, I think we arrive at at least a plausible explanation for why th
ere is a women's plus and not a men's plus.

That's not true. They tried to set up women's clothing like mens, back in the 20
s. Thing is, men are built similarly - triangle - and are able to use the waist/
length method for purchasing off the rack.
When they did the same for women, it didn't work. The difference in body shape f
or a woman who carries in her stomach versus her ass is night and day. It also d
oesn't help that men wear 2 pieces always, whereas women (especially then) wore
a lot of dresses.
But it doesn't have to do with "getting away with" - they did try to standardize
the women's size.

Well, some 3/4 of their merchandise is for women(this includes female children)
anyway, not that I really give a fuck because I mainly wear jeans and tshirts an
yway.
Would I like a few more options? Yes. Is there much of a market in that one stor
e for those options, probably not- a quick look at the closets of every female r
elative of mine shows that they each have at least 3x the amount of clothing by
volume as me, going much longer before they "cycle through". Most of them are bu
ying these clothes of their own accord, so it stands to reason that it's not as
profitable under the current system to stock as much clothing for men as women.

I make ON promo emails and they usually make W doublewide since it gets the most

I read a very interesting research study conducted by a state board of health an

of their excess weight (through diet snd exercise - aka the healthy, progressive
way) are 55-65% less likely to experience depression symptoms; 80-92% reported
overall quality of life improvements that they called very significant.
Probably common sense, but hearing those numbers may act as a motivator for you!

[ ]PigDog4 15 points 6 hours ago
Well, men don't have boobs, so that helps reduce body variations.
Other than that, men generally care about the "drop" between shoulders and waist
. This can vary a lot between fat guys, skinny-fat guys, lean athletic guys, and
built guys. I'm almost at the point where even "athletic" cuts don't quite have
enough drop and look kind of billowy on me, and I'm not even built. Actually bi
g dudes need to get almost everything tailored so it doesn't look like you're we
aring a garbage bag.

Women have relative variations in circumference around their boobs, waist and hi
ps. There's also variations in hips vs leg length.
Whereas men, if they are wider or longer around one of these areas, they are gen
erally wider or longer around all three.
Generally speaking, there are exceptions.
This is not probably not enough to explain all of the size difference in terms o
f men's clothing vs women's clothing, but it's certainly a factor.

I don't really know if there's a way to quantitatively answer that question.
Maybe standard deviation of men's waist/inseam/whatever vs. women's. But I don't

Anecdotally men's sizes are generally S/M/L/XL and then you add a few X's for th
e really big dudes. Whereas I doubt that any two girls who both wear a size 4 dr
ess look very similar in terms of body shape.

Correct, many many upscale stores do not offer larger sizes for women, and imo i
t's a financial decision on their part, nothing more. It works the other way too
. When I shopped at Walmart, they did not have women's dress slacks in my size b
ecause I was too small. Women my size don't shop at (that) Walmart often enough
to make it worth carrying a size smaller than 6. Also, they didn't sell dress sl
acks for little girls, so I had to purchase little boy's dress slacks. Normally
I don't buy dress slacks at Walmart but I had a... pants emergency.

6'8" chubby guy here. Mens sections RARELY have over XL size shirts, and they NE

feet too wide, BUT have the length for the shirt to cover my freaking stomach,
OR go with a nicer-fitting 2XL and look like a belly-dancer.
It doesn't matter overall though, because 99% of stores, as I said, don't go ove

And don't you even fucking get me started on shoes.. the pair I have right now h

Typical stores have 4 sizes of mens shirts (S-XL) and an assortment of pants usu
ally ranging from 28-40 waist and 30-38 inseam with an assortment of combination
s of waist/inseam with some styles that change the fit.
When you get into larger sizes they just start adding X's. I've litterally seen
"XXXXXL" printed on a tag, and I held up the shirt and it was about the size of
a bed sheet. It was right next to the M-L shirts I was shopping for, they were j
ust out of the sizes in-between.
Women don't want this setup. They don't want to see their XXXXXL equivalent next
to a XS/S/M shirt because they can see the discrepancy. They want to be guided
to their section where things fit, and see all the other clothes that are close
to the size they can fit into. It falls right into the vanity sizing mindset for
women's clothes.
I'll put it this way. Would you rather be told you're a 4XL or that you're a Rel
axed Fit Medium? Guys generally don't care, and women do. Which is why they call
it out that way.

It's frustrating that "vanity sizing" has crept over to men's clothing. It used

size, I could pick out a pair without even having to try it on. Now, I have to g
o to the fitting room with tower of jeans ranging in size from 28x30 to 34x32 ju
st to find something that fits right - and every brand is different so it's not
like you can just count on the size you got last time.
The whole point of putting numbers on the jeans was to make shopping easy! I'm a
man. I don't care if my clothes literally call me a fat ass while I put them on
if it means I can be in and out of the store in five minutes!

en's clothing that are plus sizes actually fit quite differently so you can't ju
st get the same style and add a few inches here and there and hope it looks good
. Girls who wear plus sizes are looking for different styles as well. Women's cl

shirts and pants.

I really don't get it. I think big dudes need to lose weight just as much as I t

But on a more serious note: being overweight is bad for you. Especially later in
life. My great-aunt spent her last 15 years more or less unable to leave home.
My grandmother has hit the same problem. And now I'm worried that my mother is s
tarting to gain a lot of weight as she gets close to her 60s, and looking at wha
t she eats, it's blatantly obvious as to why. I'm not hating on my mother. But I
wish she would eat less and carry out a more healthy life-style especially beca
use she knows very well how miserable her own aunts later years were. If all thr
ee examples here were women, it's merely coincidence. My father is still thin as
a rake and still very active, as was his, and my grandfather on my mothers side
passed long ago.
If someone in our family is overweight we should try to help them, and if we are
ourselves, we should accept help offered.

Hey, as someone with PTSD I can explain what a trigger is like for me. I can be
just going about my business and I might smell something that reminds me of the
incident, and suddenly I'll be right back there feeling trapped and scared and a
nxious. Fight or flight kicks in. There are images of it happening in my mind. I
can't control it. And that's probably minor compared to what other people with
PTSD can experience.
Genuine triggers are awful. Purposely triggering someone (people actually do tha
t) is a fucking shitty thing to do. I think tumblr has trivialised the term "tri
gger" to the point where people with PTSD don't get taken seriously because they
get lumped in with the ones who take advantage of the term.
There should be a new term for PTSD survivors. "Trigger warning" has been corrup
ted. It's too vague. Something like "flashback warning" would be better.
People with PTSD genuinely need trigger (or flashback) warnings, it's not a joke
. A bad trigger can push someone over the edge.

Men get a small range of sizes, and mostly terrible fitting clothing; women get
a much larger amount of sizes and two separate sections for the larger and the s
maller. Just chill out and try to see it from other perspectives besides just yo
ur own. I mean have you seen how ill-fitting clothing is for men unless they buy
specialty or get it tailored? We have S, M, L, XL, XXL, XXXL. And if you're not
one of those specific measurements that define one of the 6 main sizes, then yo
u're going to be between them and either have way too tight clothing, or way too
loose clothing. Take it from a guy who grew up constantly in-between sizes and
looking fat in everything. Oh and if you're too embarassed to shop for larger cl
othing, then you're just perpetuating "fat-shaming" and not practicing what you
preach about body pride. Don't like shopping for bigger clothes? Put in the work
to make your body smaller or get over it.

Fat men also have more variety at standard stores. I've seen Old Navy push well
into the high 40 waists.
The problem is that it's a double standard. There is an infinitely higher bias t
oward overweight women than overweight men.
Both lifestyles are unhealthy, but unless you've been a fatty you don't understa
nd the struggle it takes to get away from there.
Food is a fucker and is an easy, shitty solution to many problems. I've been gui
lty for eating my feelings, especially those times where my weight has already b
een high. It's a lot easier to grab a DQ blizzard than it is to pull yourself up
and go get help.
It's taken me almost 40 years to change my mindset into a healthy one. I fucking
loved food. It's not an easy shift, especially if you've been raised to eat unh
ealthy.
Like when I quit smoking, it had to come from inside. And one thing I can tell y
ou is alienating overweight people isn't the solution. Pretending it doesn't exi
st or basically funnelling overweight people into "fat" stores also doesn't help

. It doesn't do great things to ones self esteem to have to go out of your way a

I find that the problem with food obsession/binging is somewhat different to mos

I didn't really want to respond, but this really bothered me. It's very narrow v

It's not always a matter of campaigning for an unhealthy lifestyle. You have to
dress for the body you have.
Shopping at a Big & Tall is a much different experience than shopping at stores
specifically targeted at plus size women (although options have improved greatly
for them over the years.) Many of thedr specialty stores have been known to cat
er towards an older demographic. The reality is there are younger women who are
plus size that want to wear the same trends their friends are wearing (prints, c
olors, silhouettes.) Just because a woman is a size 20 does not mean she only wa
nts to wear leopard prints and ruffles.
Also, keep in mind men's fashion and women's fashion are judged on different spe
ctrums. For instance, the male anchor who wore the same suit for a year.
Yes, obesity is an epidemic in America, but that doesn't mean they should be mar
ginalized.
Clothing is a fun means of expression for many people. If a person wants to patr
on a store and that store wants to cater to them what does it matter?

which are much more common than big and tall stores for men, BTW.

Women spend more on clothing annually. They should have more stores in a capital

[ ]robshookphoto 68 points 6 hours ago
What is this shit? How is "women's plus" any different than "big and tall?" "Big
and tall" is MORE of a euphemism.
You're also completely ignoring stores like "Lane Bryant."
The eagerness to upvote anything vaguely "mensrights" or fat shaming related is
disgusting.

[ ]Tysonzero 8 points 5 hours ago
I don't see how you could argue it is MORE of a euphemism.
Plus size seems like more of a euphemism than big. And tall isn't a substitution
for anything, unless you would prefer they use the term "lamppost" to make sure
they aren't overusing euphemisms.

The weird part is, Old Navy DOES have a "Big and Tall" selection in their mens c
lothing, but you don't really see it until you click on the item you want to buy
.
But the womens stuff is separated out as a whole new category of "Womens Plus"
permalink
[ ]queenbrewer 21 points 5 hours ago
I think this is partially because plus sized women's clothing needs to be design
ed more differently than plus sized men's clothing, which usually is just larger
cuts of the same styles.

Yeah, most plus size models are heavy compared to regular models, but very propo

don't usually look like that.

Plus models are typically 6 foot size 12's. That's in no way obese. Indeed, tall
women wearing the lower end of plus sizes aren't likely to be obese.

I get why plus sizes get there own category. If a big girl is checking out a sto
re for the first time, they want to know quickly if they might have something in
their size. That doesn't really explain why their category is wider on that pag
e...
Guys, look at it like this. You go to a parts web site looking for a distributor
for your '53 Hudson Hornet. Would you rather sift through all of the distributo
rs before you discover that they only carry Ford and Chevy parts? Nope, you want
to see a link to "Hudson engine parts" and get down to business. No mention of

Hudson, you go to the next site.


My wife is a big girl and she gets damn frustrated when she sees something she l
ikes, chooses a color and then finds that it isn't available in plus size.
Before you give women too much shit about "enabling an unhealthy lifestyle" you
should also understand that in the clothing industry 'plus size' does not necess
arily mean 400lb folks.

The only legitimate reason I can think of is that the majority of Old Navy custo
mers are plus sized women. Whenever we get a shipment of a product, there are al
most double the amount of larger sizes. Maybe they were trying to give more obvi
ous access to clothing for their (literally) biggest consumer. Gap Inc is usuall
y very literal with their advertisment (eg. Gap toothed women as models for a lo

It's all marketing. Nothing else would match well with "women's plus" (except if

Grandfather Maple takes the child to Seal Fur Woman, who teaches the child its n

Another possibility is that the plus size girl would fill the entirety of the fr
ame in the normal grid size, making her size easier to compare to the other grid
s, and by comparison actually appear larger than she really is.
By giving her a larger frame size, and thus more white space on each side, it co
uld have a bit of a slimming effect compared to the others.
Not sure how well all that works though here, just some design theory i pulled o

I'm no expert, but my guess is that it has something to do with women's style be
ing tighter fitting. Whereas the relatively loose fitting pants worn by men can
accommodate legs of varying widths, with only the waist and length varying great
ly, the tight fitting pants worn by women are far less versatile. It's not hard
to imagine how manufacturing clothes for women is far more costly than it is for
men. Considering this along with the greater demand among the fairer sex for st
ylish clothing, I think we arrive at at least a plausible explanation for why th
ere is a women's plus and not a men's plus.

That's not true. They tried to set up women's clothing like mens, back in the 20
s. Thing is, men are built similarly - triangle - and are able to use the waist/
length method for purchasing off the rack.
When they did the same for women, it didn't work. The difference in body shape f
or a woman who carries in her stomach versus her ass is night and day. It also d
oesn't help that men wear 2 pieces always, whereas women (especially then) wore
a lot of dresses.
But it doesn't have to do with "getting away with" - they did try to standardize
the women's size.

Well, some 3/4 of their merchandise is for women(this includes female children)

Would I like a few more options? Yes. Is there much of a market in that one stor
e for those options, probably not- a quick look at the closets of every female r
elative of mine shows that they each have at least 3x the amount of clothing by
volume as me, going much longer before they "cycle through". Most of them are bu
ying these clothes of their own accord, so it stands to reason that it's not as
profitable under the current system to stock as much clothing for men as women.

Well, men don't have boobs, so that helps reduce body variations.
Other than that, men generally care about the "drop" between shoulders and waist

built guys. I'm almost at the point where even "athletic" cuts don't quite have
enough drop and look kind of billowy on me, and I'm not even built. Actually bi

Women have relative variations in circumference around their boobs, waist and hi
ps. There's also variations in hips vs leg length.
Whereas men, if they are wider or longer around one of these areas, they are gen
erally wider or longer around all three.
Generally speaking, there are exceptions.
This is not probably not enough to explain all of the size difference in terms o

Anecdotally men's sizes are generally S/M/L/XL and then you add a few X's for th

OR go with a nicer-fitting 2XL and look like a belly-dancer.
It doesn't matter overall though, because 99% of stores, as I said, don't go ove

And don't you even fucking get me started on shoes.. the pair I have right now h

process of having shoes shipped to you to try them on, and ship them back when
they aren't good enough just to order another pair to try (And yes I can just or
der many pairs in bulk at once and ship back the rest you don't want, but compan

Typical stores have 4 sizes of mens shirts (S-XL) and an assortment of pants usu
ally ranging from 28-40 waist and 30-38 inseam with an assortment of combination
s of waist/inseam with some styles that change the fit.
When you get into larger sizes they just start adding X's. I've litterally seen
"XXXXXL" printed on a tag, and I held up the shirt and it was about the size of
a bed sheet. It was right next to the M-L shirts I was shopping for, they were j
ust out of the sizes in-between.
Women don't want this setup. They don't want to see their XXXXXL equivalent next
to a XS/S/M shirt because they can see the discrepancy. They want to be guided
to their section where things fit, and see all the other clothes that are close
to the size they can fit into. It falls right into the vanity sizing mindset for
women's clothes.
I'll put it this way. Would you rather be told you're a 4XL or that you're a Rel
axed Fit Medium? Guys generally don't care, and women do. Which is why they call
it out that way.

It's frustrating that "vanity sizing" has crept over to men's clothing. It used
to be so easy to find a pair of pants that fit. Once I knew my inseam and waist
size, I could pick out a pair without even having to try it on. Now, I have to g
o to the fitting room with tower of jeans ranging in size from 28x30 to 34x32 ju
st to find something that fits right - and every brand is different so it's not
like you can just count on the size you got last time.
The whole point of putting numbers on the jeans was to make shopping easy! I'm a
man. I don't care if my clothes literally call me a fat ass while I put them on
if it means I can be in and out of the store in five minutes!

I used to be a buyer in women's fashion so I can explain this quite easily. Ther

l medium and large for the most part because it's cheaper to produce them that w
ay. By adding in another size you're adding a huge amount of inventory. Also wom
en's clothing that are plus sizes actually fit quite differently so you can't ju
st get the same style and add a few inches here and there and hope it looks good
. Girls who wear plus sizes are looking for different styles as well. Women's cl
othing have much more variety in styles where as men's sections are pretty much
shirts and pants.

I really don't get it. I think big dudes need to lose weight just as much as I t
hink big women do. I suppose I discriminate equally.
But on a more serious note: being overweight is bad for you. Especially later in
life. My great-aunt spent her last 15 years more or less unable to leave home.
My grandmother has hit the same problem. And now I'm worried that my mother is s
tarting to gain a lot of weight as she gets close to her 60s, and looking at wha
t she eats, it's blatantly obvious as to why. I'm not hating on my mother. But I
wish she would eat less and carry out a more healthy life-style especially beca
use she knows very well how miserable her own aunts later years were. If all thr
ee examples here were women, it's merely coincidence. My father is still thin as
a rake and still very active, as was his, and my grandfather on my mothers side
passed long ago.
If someone in our family is overweight we should try to help them, and if we are
ourselves, we should accept help offered.

When something, whether it be words, images, a person, etc... causes (triggers)
someone to re-experience a traumatic memory. Example: rape victims sometimes bec

Hey, as someone with PTSD I can explain what a trigger is like for me. I can be
just going about my business and I might smell something that reminds me of the
incident, and suddenly I'll be right back there feeling trapped and scared and a
nxious. Fight or flight kicks in. There are images of it happening in my mind. I
can't control it. And that's probably minor compared to what other people with
PTSD can experience.
Genuine triggers are awful. Purposely triggering someone (people actually do tha
t) is a fucking shitty thing to do. I think tumblr has trivialised the term "tri
gger" to the point where people with PTSD don't get taken seriously because they
get lumped in with the ones who take advantage of the term.
There should be a new term for PTSD survivors. "Trigger warning" has been corrup
ted. It's too vague. Something like "flashback warning" would be better.
People with PTSD genuinely need trigger (or flashback) warnings, it's not a joke
. A bad trigger can push someone over the edge.

off to the back section of the store where the clothes are uglier and the choice

Fat men will generally look fine in the same clothes as skinny men, provided the

Plus size clothes are labeled either XXL, XXXL etc., or 1X, 2X, etc. They're sol

Men get a small range of sizes, and mostly terrible fitting clothing; women get
a much larger amount of sizes and two separate sections for the larger and the s
maller. Just chill out and try to see it from other perspectives besides just yo
ur own. I mean have you seen how ill-fitting clothing is for men unless they buy
specialty or get it tailored? We have S, M, L, XL, XXL, XXXL. And if you're not
one of those specific measurements that define one of the 6 main sizes, then yo
u're going to be between them and either have way too tight clothing, or way too
loose clothing. Take it from a guy who grew up constantly in-between sizes and
looking fat in everything. Oh and if you're too embarassed to shop for larger cl
othing, then you're just perpetuating "fat-shaming" and not practicing what you
preach about body pride. Don't like shopping for bigger clothes? Put in the work
to make your body smaller or get over it.

Fat men also have more variety at standard stores. I've seen Old Navy push well
into the high 40 waists.
The problem is that it's a double standard. There is an infinitely higher bias t
oward overweight women than overweight men.
Both lifestyles are unhealthy, but unless you've been a fatty you don't understa
nd the struggle it takes to get away from there.
Food is a fucker and is an easy, shitty solution to many problems. I've been gui
lty for eating my feelings, especially those times where my weight has already b
een high. It's a lot easier to grab a DQ blizzard than it is to pull yourself up
and go get help.
It's taken me almost 40 years to change my mindset into a healthy one. I fucking
loved food. It's not an easy shift, especially if you've been raised to eat unh
ealthy.
Like when I quit smoking, it had to come from inside. And one thing I can tell y
ou is alienating overweight people isn't the solution. Pretending it doesn't exi
st or basically funnelling overweight people into "fat" stores also doesn't help
. It doesn't do great things to ones self esteem to have to go out of your way a
nd shop at these kinds of stores.

I find that the problem with food obsession/binging is somewhat different to mos

I didn't really want to respond, but this really bothered me. It's very narrow v

It's not always a matter of campaigning for an unhealthy lifestyle. You have to
dress for the body you have.
Shopping at a Big & Tall is a much different experience than shopping at stores
specifically targeted at plus size women (although options have improved greatly
for them over the years.) Many of thedr specialty stores have been known to cat
er towards an older demographic. The reality is there are younger women who are
plus size that want to wear the same trends their friends are wearing (prints, c
olors, silhouettes.) Just because a woman is a size 20 does not mean she only wa
nts to wear leopard prints and ruffles.
Also, keep in mind men's fashion and women's fashion are judged on different spe
ctrums. For instance, the male anchor who wore the same suit for a year.
Yes, obesity is an epidemic in America, but that doesn't mean they should be mar
ginalized.
Clothing is a fun means of expression for many people. If a person wants to patr
on a store and that store wants to cater to them what does it matter?

I never really thought about that. It sort of does show the difference in how of

Double Edit: I've never seen a Big and Tall store that carries pants that are 30

Guys, look at it like this. You go to a parts web site looking for a distributor
for your '53 Hudson Hornet. Would you rather sift through all of the distributo

to see a link to "Hudson engine parts" and get down to business. No mention of
Hudson, you go to the next site.

should also understand that in the clothing industry 'plus size' does not necess
arily mean 400lb folks.

The only legitimate reason I can think of is that the majority of Old Navy custo
mers are plus sized women. Whenever we get a shipment of a product, there are al
most double the amount of larger sizes. Maybe they were trying to give more obvi
ous access to clothing for their (literally) biggest consumer. Gap Inc is usuall
y very literal with their advertisment (eg. Gap toothed women as models for a lo
t of their posters)

It's all marketing. Nothing else would match well with "women's plus" (except if

look better side by side than "man" and "women's plus".

Their responsive design is very grid based and they organized the sets into the
three pars; adults, kids, toddlers. There is no plus men's category so this sing

A Canadian is born in the midst of a long and cold winter's night, when the spir
its of Moose and Beaver are taken by Grandfather Maple to a hockey rink. If Moos
e out scores Beaver, a boy is born. If Beaver beats Moose, a girl is born. Then
Grandfather Maple takes the child to Seal Fur Woman, who teaches the child its n
ame, the Canadian national anthem, and bestows upon it a love of gravy on French
fries. After that, a worthy Canadian couple, who have proven themselves fortudi
nous by surviving the harsh winter and Stephen Harper's roaming squad of attack
kittens in sweater vests, apologized profusely for all the fuss and is allowed t
o adopt the child from Grandfather Maple.

Another possibility is that the plus size girl would fill the entirety of the fr
ame in the normal grid size, making her size easier to compare to the other grid
s, and by comparison actually appear larger than she really is.
By giving her a larger frame size, and thus more white space on each side, it co
uld have a bit of a slimming effect compared to the others.
Not sure how well all that works though here, just some design theory i pulled o

I'm no expert, but my guess is that it has something to do with women's style be
ing tighter fitting. Whereas the relatively loose fitting pants worn by men can
accommodate legs of varying widths, with only the waist and length varying great
ly, the tight fitting pants worn by women are far less versatile. It's not hard
to imagine how manufacturing clothes for women is far more costly than it is for
men. Considering this along with the greater demand among the fairer sex for st
ylish clothing, I think we arrive at at least a plausible explanation for why th
ere is a women's plus and not a men's plus.

That's not true. They tried to set up women's clothing like mens, back in the 20
s. Thing is, men are built similarly - triangle - and are able to use the waist/
length method for purchasing off the rack.
When they did the same for women, it didn't work. The difference in body shape f
or a woman who carries in her stomach versus her ass is night and day. It also d
oesn't help that men wear 2 pieces always, whereas women (especially then) wore
a lot of dresses.
But it doesn't have to do with "getting away with" - they did try to standardize

Well, men don't have boobs, so that helps reduce body variations.
Other than that, men generally care about the "drop" between shoulders and waist

built guys. I'm almost at the point where even "athletic" cuts don't quite have
enough drop and look kind of billowy on me, and I'm not even built. Actually bi

Women have relative variations in circumference around their boobs, waist and hi
ps. There's also variations in hips vs leg length.
Whereas men, if they are wider or longer around one of these areas, they are gen
erally wider or longer around all three.
Generally speaking, there are exceptions.
This is not probably not enough to explain all of the size difference in terms o
f men's clothing vs women's clothing, but it's certainly a factor.

Anecdotally men's sizes are generally S/M/L/XL and then you add a few X's for th

Typical stores have 4 sizes of mens shirts (S-XL) and an assortment of pants usu
ally ranging from 28-40 waist and 30-38 inseam with an assortment of combination
s of waist/inseam with some styles that change the fit.
When you get into larger sizes they just start adding X's. I've litterally seen
"XXXXXL" printed on a tag, and I held up the shirt and it was about the size of
a bed sheet. It was right next to the M-L shirts I was shopping for, they were j
ust out of the sizes in-between.
Women don't want this setup. They don't want to see their XXXXXL equivalent next
to a XS/S/M shirt because they can see the discrepancy. They want to be guided

to their section where things fit, and see all the other clothes that are close
to the size they can fit into. It falls right into the vanity sizing mindset for
women's clothes.
I'll put it this way. Would you rather be told you're a 4XL or that you're a Rel
axed Fit Medium? Guys generally don't care, and women do. Which is why they call
it out that way.

The whole point of putting numbers on the jeans was to make shopping easy! I'm a

I used to be a buyer in women's fashion so I can explain this quite easily. Ther
e is no agenda to make females feel bad. You are our customers we want you to fe
el good. Other than that woman's fashion companies produce clothing in only smal
l medium and large for the most part because it's cheaper to produce them that w
ay. By adding in another size you're adding a huge amount of inventory. Also wom
en's clothing that are plus sizes actually fit quite differently so you can't ju
st get the same style and add a few inches here and there and hope it looks good
. Girls who wear plus sizes are looking for different styles as well. Women's cl
othing have much more variety in styles where as men's sections are pretty much
shirts and pants.

I really don't get it. I think big dudes need to lose weight just as much as I t
hink big women do. I suppose I discriminate equally.
But on a more serious note: being overweight is bad for you. Especially later in
life. My great-aunt spent her last 15 years more or less unable to leave home.
My grandmother has hit the same problem. And now I'm worried that my mother is s
tarting to gain a lot of weight as she gets close to her 60s, and looking at wha
t she eats, it's blatantly obvious as to why. I'm not hating on my mother. But I
wish she would eat less and carry out a more healthy life-style especially beca
use she knows very well how miserable her own aunts later years were. If all thr
ee examples here were women, it's merely coincidence. My father is still thin as
a rake and still very active, as was his, and my grandfather on my mothers side
passed long ago.
If someone in our family is overweight we should try to help them, and if we are
ourselves, we should accept help offered.

Sure. Triggers in real life are things that can trigger a negative flashback or

words or things can trigger them to have a panic attack. It really just boils d

When I was in treatment for my eating disorder, a "trigger" was something that t

for me because of the laxative section. It was very difficult for me to stay aw

When something, whether it be words, images, a person, etc... causes (triggers)
someone to re-experience a traumatic memory. Example: rape victims sometimes bec
ome incredibly anxious when their rapist enters the room, or fireworks can set o
ff flashbacks for soldiers with PTSD.
Yes, sometimes people feel uncomfortable around criticism and call it a "trigger
" to shut down conversation, but I think many triggers are legitimate. Reddit do
esn't seem to think that's the case.

Hey, as someone with PTSD I can explain what a trigger is like for me. I can be
just going about my business and I might smell something that reminds me of the
incident, and suddenly I'll be right back there feeling trapped and scared and a
nxious. Fight or flight kicks in. There are images of it happening in my mind. I
can't control it. And that's probably minor compared to what other people with
PTSD can experience.
Genuine triggers are awful. Purposely triggering someone (people actually do tha
t) is a fucking shitty thing to do. I think tumblr has trivialised the term "tri
gger" to the point where people with PTSD don't get taken seriously because they
get lumped in with the ones who take advantage of the term.
There should be a new term for PTSD survivors. "Trigger warning" has been corrup
ted. It's too vague. Something like "flashback warning" would be better.
People with PTSD genuinely need trigger (or flashback) warnings, it's not a joke
. A bad trigger can push someone over the edge.

Plus size clothes are labeled either XXL, XXXL etc., or 1X, 2X, etc. They're sol
d in the Plus size or Missed section, but it's not like they're sold as "Plus si
ze small". Don't worry, fat women certainly aren't coddled or told they are beau
tiful by retailers.
Additionally, the clothes are usually far uglier than the cute skinny people clo
thes over in the next section. "Dear fat women, we know you hate how you look, s

Men get a small range of sizes, and mostly terrible fitting clothing; women get
a much larger amount of sizes and two separate sections for the larger and the s
maller. Just chill out and try to see it from other perspectives besides just yo
ur own. I mean have you seen how ill-fitting clothing is for men unless they buy
specialty or get it tailored? We have S, M, L, XL, XXL, XXXL. And if you're not
one of those specific measurements that define one of the 6 main sizes, then yo
u're going to be between them and either have way too tight clothing, or way too
loose clothing. Take it from a guy who grew up constantly in-between sizes and
looking fat in everything. Oh and if you're too embarassed to shop for larger cl
othing, then you're just perpetuating "fat-shaming" and not practicing what you
preach about body pride. Don't like shopping for bigger clothes? Put in the work
to make your body smaller or get over it.

Fat men also have more variety at standard stores. I've seen Old Navy push well
into the high 40 waists.
The problem is that it's a double standard. There is an infinitely higher bias t
oward overweight women than overweight men.
Both lifestyles are unhealthy, but unless you've been a fatty you don't understa
nd the struggle it takes to get away from there.
Food is a fucker and is an easy, shitty solution to many problems. I've been gui
lty for eating my feelings, especially those times where my weight has already b
een high. It's a lot easier to grab a DQ blizzard than it is to pull yourself up
and go get help.
It's taken me almost 40 years to change my mindset into a healthy one. I fucking
loved food. It's not an easy shift, especially if you've been raised to eat unh
ealthy.
Like when I quit smoking, it had to come from inside. And one thing I can tell y
ou is alienating overweight people isn't the solution. Pretending it doesn't exi
st or basically funnelling overweight people into "fat" stores also doesn't help
. It doesn't do great things to ones self esteem to have to go out of your way a
nd shop at these kinds of stores.

I find that the problem with food obsession/binging is somewhat different to mos

. You don't need it. Same with other drugs. But you need to eat. There's no way
around it, unless you live off an IV (can you do that?).

I didn't really want to respond, but this really bothered me. It's very narrow v
iew.
It's not always a matter of campaigning for an unhealthy lifestyle. You have to
dress for the body you have.
Shopping at a Big & Tall is a much different experience than shopping at stores
specifically targeted at plus size women (although options have improved greatly
for them over the years.) Many of thedr specialty stores have been known to cat
er towards an older demographic. The reality is there are younger women who are
plus size that want to wear the same trends their friends are wearing (prints, c

olors, silhouettes.) Just because a woman is a size 20 does not mean she only wa
nts to wear leopard prints and ruffles.
Also, keep in mind men's fashion and women's fashion are judged on different spe
ctrums. For instance, the male anchor who wore the same suit for a year.
Yes, obesity is an epidemic in America, but that doesn't mean they should be mar
ginalized.
Clothing is a fun means of expression for many people. If a person wants to patr
on a store and that store wants to cater to them what does it matter?

I never really thought about that. It sort of does show the difference in how of

as there are people who fit the big+tall category, so that'll probably never ha
ppen. But dammit, I want more options for 30x34/30x36 pants!
EDIT: I feel like I'm working at Old Navy again.
Double Edit: I've never seen a Big and Tall store that carries pants that are 30

It's all marketing. Nothing else would match well with "women's plus" (except if
there was a "men's plus") Regardless, it's matched by pairs. "Man" and "women"
look better side by side than "man" and "women's plus".

Their responsive design is very grid based and they organized the sets into the
three pars; adults, kids, toddlers. There is no plus men's category so this sing

A Canadian is born in the midst of a long and cold winter's night, when the spir

its of Moose and Beaver are taken by Grandfather Maple to a hockey rink. If Moos
e out scores Beaver, a boy is born. If Beaver beats Moose, a girl is born. Then
Grandfather Maple takes the child to Seal Fur Woman, who teaches the child its n
ame, the Canadian national anthem, and bestows upon it a love of gravy on French
fries. After that, a worthy Canadian couple, who have proven themselves fortudi
nous by surviving the harsh winter and Stephen Harper's roaming squad of attack
kittens in sweater vests, apologized profusely for all the fuss and is allowed t
o adopt the child from Grandfather Maple.

Another possibility is that the plus size girl would fill the entirety of the fr
ame in the normal grid size, making her size easier to compare to the other grid
s, and by comparison actually appear larger than she really is.
By giving her a larger frame size, and thus more white space on each side, it co
uld have a bit of a slimming effect compared to the others.
Not sure how well all that works though here, just some design theory i pulled o

I'm no expert, but my guess is that it has something to do with women's style be
ing tighter fitting. Whereas the relatively loose fitting pants worn by men can
accommodate legs of varying widths, with only the waist and length varying great
ly, the tight fitting pants worn by women are far less versatile. It's not hard
to imagine how manufacturing clothes for women is far more costly than it is for
men. Considering this along with the greater demand among the fairer sex for st
ylish clothing, I think we arrive at at least a plausible explanation for why th
ere is a women's plus and not a men's plus.

That's not true. They tried to set up women's clothing like mens, back in the 20
s. Thing is, men are built similarly - triangle - and are able to use the waist/
length method for purchasing off the rack.
When they did the same for women, it didn't work. The difference in body shape f
or a woman who carries in her stomach versus her ass is night and day. It also d
oesn't help that men wear 2 pieces always, whereas women (especially then) wore
a lot of dresses.
But it doesn't have to do with "getting away with" - they did try to standardize
the women's size.

Well, some 3/4 of their merchandise is for women(this includes female children)
anyway, not that I really give a fuck because I mainly wear jeans and tshirts an
yway.
Would I like a few more options? Yes. Is there much of a market in that one stor
e for those options, probably not- a quick look at the closets of every female r
elative of mine shows that they each have at least 3x the amount of clothing by
volume as me, going much longer before they "cycle through". Most of them are bu
ying these clothes of their own accord, so it stands to reason that it's not as
profitable under the current system to stock as much clothing for men as women.

I make ON promo emails and they usually make W doublewide since it gets the most

However in this case, it looks like this was based off the same layout as the US

to disturb the layout for the canada version too much so just made WP doublewid

of their excess weight (through diet snd exercise - aka the healthy, progressive
way) are 55-65% less likely to experience depression symptoms; 80-92% reported
overall quality of life improvements that they called very significant.

Well, men don't have boobs, so that helps reduce body variations.
Other than that, men generally care about the "drop" between shoulders and waist
. This can vary a lot between fat guys, skinny-fat guys, lean athletic guys, and
built guys. I'm almost at the point where even "athletic" cuts don't quite have
enough drop and look kind of billowy on me, and I'm not even built. Actually bi
g dudes need to get almost everything tailored so it doesn't look like you're we
aring a garbage bag.

Women have relative variations in circumference around their boobs, waist and hi
ps. There's also variations in hips vs leg length.
Whereas men, if they are wider or longer around one of these areas, they are gen
erally wider or longer around all three.
Generally speaking, there are exceptions.
This is not probably not enough to explain all of the size difference in terms o
f men's clothing vs women's clothing, but it's certainly a factor.

I don't really know if there's a way to quantitatively answer that question.
Maybe standard deviation of men's waist/inseam/whatever vs. women's. But I don't

Anecdotally men's sizes are generally S/M/L/XL and then you add a few X's for th
e really big dudes. Whereas I doubt that any two girls who both wear a size 4 dr

Correct, many many upscale stores do not offer larger sizes for women, and imo i
t's a financial decision on their part, nothing more. It works the other way too
. When I shopped at Walmart, they did not have women's dress slacks in my size b
ecause I was too small. Women my size don't shop at (that) Walmart often enough
to make it worth carrying a size smaller than 6. Also, they didn't sell dress sl
acks for little girls, so I had to purchase little boy's dress slacks. Normally
I don't buy dress slacks at Walmart but I had a... pants emergency.

6'8" chubby guy here. Mens sections RARELY have over XL size shirts, and they NE

feet too wide, BUT have the length for the shirt to cover my freaking stomach,

It doesn't matter overall though, because 99% of stores, as I said, don't go ove

Typical stores have 4 sizes of mens shirts (S-XL) and an assortment of pants usu
ally ranging from 28-40 waist and 30-38 inseam with an assortment of combination
s of waist/inseam with some styles that change the fit.
When you get into larger sizes they just start adding X's. I've litterally seen
"XXXXXL" printed on a tag, and I held up the shirt and it was about the size of
a bed sheet. It was right next to the M-L shirts I was shopping for, they were j
ust out of the sizes in-between.
Women don't want this setup. They don't want to see their XXXXXL equivalent next
to a XS/S/M shirt because they can see the discrepancy. They want to be guided
to their section where things fit, and see all the other clothes that are close
to the size they can fit into. It falls right into the vanity sizing mindset for
women's clothes.
I'll put it this way. Would you rather be told you're a 4XL or that you're a Rel
axed Fit Medium? Guys generally don't care, and women do. Which is why they call
it out that way.

It's frustrating that "vanity sizing" has crept over to men's clothing. It used

size, I could pick out a pair without even having to try it on. Now, I have to g
o to the fitting room with tower of jeans ranging in size from 28x30 to 34x32 ju
st to find something that fits right - and every brand is different so it's not
like you can just count on the size you got last time.
The whole point of putting numbers on the jeans was to make shopping easy! I'm a

if it means I can be in and out of the store in five minutes!

I really don't get it. I think big dudes need to lose weight just as much as I t

But on a more serious note: being overweight is bad for you. Especially later in
life. My great-aunt spent her last 15 years more or less unable to leave home.
My grandmother has hit the same problem. And now I'm worried that my mother is s
tarting to gain a lot of weight as she gets close to her 60s, and looking at wha
t she eats, it's blatantly obvious as to why. I'm not hating on my mother. But I
wish she would eat less and carry out a more healthy life-style especially beca

use she knows very well how miserable her own aunts later years were. If all thr
ee examples here were women, it's merely coincidence. My father is still thin as
a rake and still very active, as was his, and my grandfather on my mothers side
passed long ago.
If someone in our family is overweight we should try to help them, and if we are
ourselves, we should accept help offered.

Hey, as someone with PTSD I can explain what a trigger is like for me. I can be
just going about my business and I might smell something that reminds me of the
incident, and suddenly I'll be right back there feeling trapped and scared and a
nxious. Fight or flight kicks in. There are images of it happening in my mind. I

can't control it. And that's probably minor compared to what other people with
PTSD can experience.
Genuine triggers are awful. Purposely triggering someone (people actually do tha
t) is a fucking shitty thing to do. I think tumblr has trivialised the term "tri
gger" to the point where people with PTSD don't get taken seriously because they
get lumped in with the ones who take advantage of the term.
There should be a new term for PTSD survivors. "Trigger warning" has been corrup
ted. It's too vague. Something like "flashback warning" would be better.
People with PTSD genuinely need trigger (or flashback) warnings, it's not a joke
. A bad trigger can push someone over the edge.

Men get a small range of sizes, and mostly terrible fitting clothing; women get
a much larger amount of sizes and two separate sections for the larger and the s
maller. Just chill out and try to see it from other perspectives besides just yo
ur own. I mean have you seen how ill-fitting clothing is for men unless they buy
specialty or get it tailored? We have S, M, L, XL, XXL, XXXL. And if you're not
one of those specific measurements that define one of the 6 main sizes, then yo
u're going to be between them and either have way too tight clothing, or way too
loose clothing. Take it from a guy who grew up constantly in-between sizes and
looking fat in everything. Oh and if you're too embarassed to shop for larger cl
othing, then you're just perpetuating "fat-shaming" and not practicing what you
preach about body pride. Don't like shopping for bigger clothes? Put in the work
to make your body smaller or get over it.

Fat men also have more variety at standard stores. I've seen Old Navy push well
into the high 40 waists.
The problem is that it's a double standard. There is an infinitely higher bias t
oward overweight women than overweight men.
Both lifestyles are unhealthy, but unless you've been a fatty you don't understa
nd the struggle it takes to get away from there.
Food is a fucker and is an easy, shitty solution to many problems. I've been gui
lty for eating my feelings, especially those times where my weight has already b
een high. It's a lot easier to grab a DQ blizzard than it is to pull yourself up
and go get help.
It's taken me almost 40 years to change my mindset into a healthy one. I fucking
loved food. It's not an easy shift, especially if you've been raised to eat unh
ealthy.
Like when I quit smoking, it had to come from inside. And one thing I can tell y
ou is alienating overweight people isn't the solution. Pretending it doesn't exi
st or basically funnelling overweight people into "fat" stores also doesn't help
. It doesn't do great things to ones self esteem to have to go out of your way a

I didn't really want to respond, but this really bothered me. It's very narrow v

It's not always a matter of campaigning for an unhealthy lifestyle. You have to
dress for the body you have.
Shopping at a Big & Tall is a much different experience than shopping at stores
specifically targeted at plus size women (although options have improved greatly
for them over the years.) Many of thedr specialty stores have been known to cat
er towards an older demographic. The reality is there are younger women who are
plus size that want to wear the same trends their friends are wearing (prints, c
olors, silhouettes.) Just because a woman is a size 20 does not mean she only wa
nts to wear leopard prints and ruffles.
Also, keep in mind men's fashion and women's fashion are judged on different spe
ctrums. For instance, the male anchor who wore the same suit for a year.
Yes, obesity is an epidemic in America, but that doesn't mean they should be mar
ginalized.
Clothing is a fun means of expression for many people. If a person wants to patr
on a store and that store wants to cater to them what does it matter?

store though. There probably aren't nearly as many people who fit that category
as there are people who fit the big+tall category, so that'll probably never ha
ppen. But dammit, I want more options for 30x34/30x36 pants!
EDIT: I feel like I'm working at Old Navy again.
Double Edit: I've never seen a Big and Tall store that carries pants that are 30
x34/36. I've seen >32x34, but never my size. It's always geared toward either av
erage builds that are very tall, or average sized guys that are very fat.

What is this shit? How is "women's plus" any different than "big and tall?" "Big

I don't see how you could argue it is MORE of a euphemism.
Plus size seems like more of a euphemism than big. And tall isn't a substitution
for anything, unless you would prefer they use the term "lamppost" to make sure
they aren't overusing euphemisms.

The weird part is, Old Navy DOES have a "Big and Tall" selection in their mens c

.
But the womens stuff is separated out as a whole new category of "Womens Plus"
permalink
[ ]queenbrewer 21 points 5 hours ago
I think this is partially because plus sized women's clothing needs to be design
ed more differently than plus sized men's clothing, which usually is just larger
cuts of the same styles.

Plus models are typically 6 foot size 12's. That's in no way obese. Indeed, tall
women wearing the lower end of plus sizes aren't likely to be obese.

I get why plus sizes get there own category. If a big girl is checking out a sto

their size. That doesn't really explain why their category is wider on that pag
e...
Guys, look at it like this. You go to a parts web site looking for a distributor
for your '53 Hudson Hornet. Would you rather sift through all of the distributo
rs before you discover that they only carry Ford and Chevy parts? Nope, you want
to see a link to "Hudson engine parts" and get down to business. No mention of
Hudson, you go to the next site.
My wife is a big girl and she gets damn frustrated when she sees something she l
ikes, chooses a color and then finds that it isn't available in plus size.
Before you give women too much shit about "enabling an unhealthy lifestyle" you
should also understand that in the clothing industry 'plus size' does not necess
arily mean 400lb folks.

The only legitimate reason I can think of is that the majority of Old Navy custo
mers are plus sized women. Whenever we get a shipment of a product, there are al
most double the amount of larger sizes. Maybe they were trying to give more obvi

y very literal with their advertisment (eg. Gap toothed women as models for a lo

Grandfather Maple takes the child to Seal Fur Woman, who teaches the child its n

Another possibility is that the plus size girl would fill the entirety of the fr

ame in the normal grid size, making her size easier to compare to the other grid
s, and by comparison actually appear larger than she really is.
By giving her a larger frame size, and thus more white space on each side, it co
uld have a bit of a slimming effect compared to the others.
Not sure how well all that works though here, just some design theory i pulled o

I'm no expert, but my guess is that it has something to do with women's style be
ing tighter fitting. Whereas the relatively loose fitting pants worn by men can
accommodate legs of varying widths, with only the waist and length varying great
ly, the tight fitting pants worn by women are far less versatile. It's not hard
to imagine how manufacturing clothes for women is far more costly than it is for
men. Considering this along with the greater demand among the fairer sex for st
ylish clothing, I think we arrive at at least a plausible explanation for why th
ere is a women's plus and not a men's plus.

That's not true. They tried to set up women's clothing like mens, back in the 20
s. Thing is, men are built similarly - triangle - and are able to use the waist/
length method for purchasing off the rack.
When they did the same for women, it didn't work. The difference in body shape f
or a woman who carries in her stomach versus her ass is night and day. It also d
oesn't help that men wear 2 pieces always, whereas women (especially then) wore
a lot of dresses.
But it doesn't have to do with "getting away with" - they did try to standardize
the women's size.

Well, some 3/4 of their merchandise is for women(this includes female children)
anyway, not that I really give a fuck because I mainly wear jeans and tshirts an

Would I like a few more options? Yes. Is there much of a market in that one stor
e for those options, probably not- a quick look at the closets of every female r
elative of mine shows that they each have at least 3x the amount of clothing by
volume as me, going much longer before they "cycle through". Most of them are bu
ying these clothes of their own accord, so it stands to reason that it's not as
profitable under the current system to stock as much clothing for men as women.

Is it actually true that men's bodies don't vary as much as women's?
permalinkparent
[ ]PigDog4 15 points 6 hours ago
Well, men don't have boobs, so that helps reduce body variations.
Other than that, men generally care about the "drop" between shoulders and waist
. This can vary a lot between fat guys, skinny-fat guys, lean athletic guys, and
built guys. I'm almost at the point where even "athletic" cuts don't quite have
enough drop and look kind of billowy on me, and I'm not even built. Actually bi
g dudes need to get almost everything tailored so it doesn't look like you're we
aring a garbage bag.

Women have relative variations in circumference around their boobs, waist and hi
ps. There's also variations in hips vs leg length.
Whereas men, if they are wider or longer around one of these areas, they are gen
erally wider or longer around all three.
Generally speaking, there are exceptions.
This is not probably not enough to explain all of the size difference in terms o
f men's clothing vs women's clothing, but it's certainly a factor.

[ ]Cubelord 3 points 6 hours ago
I don't really know if there's a way to quantitatively answer that question.
Maybe standard deviation of men's waist/inseam/whatever vs. women's. But I don't
know if those kind of statistics are out there.
Anecdotally men's sizes are generally S/M/L/XL and then you add a few X's for th
e really big dudes. Whereas I doubt that any two girls who both wear a size 4 dr
ess look very similar in terms of body shape.

Correct, many many upscale stores do not offer larger sizes for women, and imo i
t's a financial decision on their part, nothing more. It works the other way too
. When I shopped at Walmart, they did not have women's dress slacks in my size b
ecause I was too small. Women my size don't shop at (that) Walmart often enough
to make it worth carrying a size smaller than 6. Also, they didn't sell dress sl
acks for little girls, so I had to purchase little boy's dress slacks. Normally
I don't buy dress slacks at Walmart but I had a... pants emergency.

That basically is why there are separate garments in each section. There are som

not all regular ones can be cut to suit a larger frame. So there's a separate s

They're separate for the sake of ease in shopping.

6'8" chubby guy here. Mens sections RARELY have over XL size shirts, and they NE
VER, EVER, EVER have 2XL AND tall styles. I can get a 3XL shirt and have it be 3
feet too wide, BUT have the length for the shirt to cover my freaking stomach,
OR go with a nicer-fitting 2XL and look like a belly-dancer.
It doesn't matter overall though, because 99% of stores, as I said, don't go ove
r XL.
And don't you even fucking get me started on shoes.. the pair I have right now h

process of having shoes shipped to you to try them on, and ship them back when
they aren't good enough just to order another pair to try (And yes I can just or

Typical stores have 4 sizes of mens shirts (S-XL) and an assortment of pants usu
ally ranging from 28-40 waist and 30-38 inseam with an assortment of combination
s of waist/inseam with some styles that change the fit.
When you get into larger sizes they just start adding X's. I've litterally seen
"XXXXXL" printed on a tag, and I held up the shirt and it was about the size of
a bed sheet. It was right next to the M-L shirts I was shopping for, they were j
ust out of the sizes in-between.
Women don't want this setup. They don't want to see their XXXXXL equivalent next
to a XS/S/M shirt because they can see the discrepancy. They want to be guided
to their section where things fit, and see all the other clothes that are close
to the size they can fit into. It falls right into the vanity sizing mindset for
women's clothes.
I'll put it this way. Would you rather be told you're a 4XL or that you're a Rel
axed Fit Medium? Guys generally don't care, and women do. Which is why they call
it out that way.

It's frustrating that "vanity sizing" has crept over to men's clothing. It used

size, I could pick out a pair without even having to try it on. Now, I have to g
o to the fitting room with tower of jeans ranging in size from 28x30 to 34x32 ju
st to find something that fits right - and every brand is different so it's not
like you can just count on the size you got last time.
The whole point of putting numbers on the jeans was to make shopping easy! I'm a
man. I don't care if my clothes literally call me a fat ass while I put them on
if it means I can be in and out of the store in five minutes!

en's clothing that are plus sizes actually fit quite differently so you can't ju

shirts and pants.

I really don't get it. I think big dudes need to lose weight just as much as I t

But on a more serious note: being overweight is bad for you. Especially later in
life. My great-aunt spent her last 15 years more or less unable to leave home.
My grandmother has hit the same problem. And now I'm worried that my mother is s
tarting to gain a lot of weight as she gets close to her 60s, and looking at wha
t she eats, it's blatantly obvious as to why. I'm not hating on my mother. But I
wish she would eat less and carry out a more healthy life-style especially beca
use she knows very well how miserable her own aunts later years were. If all thr
ee examples here were women, it's merely coincidence. My father is still thin as
a rake and still very active, as was his, and my grandfather on my mothers side
passed long ago.
If someone in our family is overweight we should try to help them, and if we are
ourselves, we should accept help offered.

Hey, as someone with PTSD I can explain what a trigger is like for me. I can be
just going about my business and I might smell something that reminds me of the
incident, and suddenly I'll be right back there feeling trapped and scared and a
nxious. Fight or flight kicks in. There are images of it happening in my mind. I
can't control it. And that's probably minor compared to what other people with
PTSD can experience.
Genuine triggers are awful. Purposely triggering someone (people actually do tha
t) is a fucking shitty thing to do. I think tumblr has trivialised the term "tri
gger" to the point where people with PTSD don't get taken seriously because they
get lumped in with the ones who take advantage of the term.
There should be a new term for PTSD survivors. "Trigger warning" has been corrup
ted. It's too vague. Something like "flashback warning" would be better.
People with PTSD genuinely need trigger (or flashback) warnings, it's not a joke
. A bad trigger can push someone over the edge.

Fat men will generally look fine in the same clothes as skinny men, provided the

Plus size clothes are labeled either XXL, XXXL etc., or 1X, 2X, etc. They're sol

Men get a small range of sizes, and mostly terrible fitting clothing; women get
a much larger amount of sizes and two separate sections for the larger and the s
maller. Just chill out and try to see it from other perspectives besides just yo
ur own. I mean have you seen how ill-fitting clothing is for men unless they buy
specialty or get it tailored? We have S, M, L, XL, XXL, XXXL. And if you're not

one of those specific measurements that define one of the 6 main sizes, then yo
u're going to be between them and either have way too tight clothing, or way too
loose clothing. Take it from a guy who grew up constantly in-between sizes and
looking fat in everything. Oh and if you're too embarassed to shop for larger cl
othing, then you're just perpetuating "fat-shaming" and not practicing what you
preach about body pride. Don't like shopping for bigger clothes? Put in the work
to make your body smaller or get over it.

Fat men also have more variety at standard stores. I've seen Old Navy push well
into the high 40 waists.
The problem is that it's a double standard. There is an infinitely higher bias t
oward overweight women than overweight men.
Both lifestyles are unhealthy, but unless you've been a fatty you don't understa
nd the struggle it takes to get away from there.
Food is a fucker and is an easy, shitty solution to many problems. I've been gui
lty for eating my feelings, especially those times where my weight has already b
een high. It's a lot easier to grab a DQ blizzard than it is to pull yourself up
and go get help.
It's taken me almost 40 years to change my mindset into a healthy one. I fucking
loved food. It's not an easy shift, especially if you've been raised to eat unh
ealthy.
Like when I quit smoking, it had to come from inside. And one thing I can tell y
ou is alienating overweight people isn't the solution. Pretending it doesn't exi
st or basically funnelling overweight people into "fat" stores also doesn't help
. It doesn't do great things to ones self esteem to have to go out of your way a
nd shop at these kinds of stores.

I find that the problem with food obsession/binging is somewhat different to mos

around it, unless you live off an IV (can you do that?).

I didn't really want to respond, but this really bothered me. It's very narrow v

It's not always a matter of campaigning for an unhealthy lifestyle. You have to
dress for the body you have.
Shopping at a Big & Tall is a much different experience than shopping at stores
specifically targeted at plus size women (although options have improved greatly
for them over the years.) Many of thedr specialty stores have been known to cat
er towards an older demographic. The reality is there are younger women who are
plus size that want to wear the same trends their friends are wearing (prints, c
olors, silhouettes.) Just because a woman is a size 20 does not mean she only wa
nts to wear leopard prints and ruffles.
Also, keep in mind men's fashion and women's fashion are judged on different spe
ctrums. For instance, the male anchor who wore the same suit for a year.
Yes, obesity is an epidemic in America, but that doesn't mean they should be mar
ginalized.
Clothing is a fun means of expression for many people. If a person wants to patr
on a store and that store wants to cater to them what does it matter?

I never really thought about that. It sort of does show the difference in how of

Yeah, most plus size models are heavy compared to regular models, but very propo
rtionate -- no massive bellies or super wide hips. But in real life, obese women
don't usually look like that.
permalinkparent
[ ]riggorous 3 points 2 hours ago
Plus models are typically 6 foot size 12's. That's in no way obese. Indeed, tall
women wearing the lower end of plus sizes aren't likely to be obese.

In real life women don't generally look like non plus sized models either. It's
called photoshop, and they use it on all sizes.

They do, the rule is the fat person must fit in the seat with the armrests down.
If they insist on leaving them up just call a flight attendant who will find th

people can purchase two seats if they wish, and they'll even refund the extra s

Old navy has been getting some negative lime light over their plus side clothing

men's clothing (not so for men's).

I get why plus sizes get there own category. If a big girl is checking out a sto
re for the first time, they want to know quickly if they might have something in
their size. That doesn't really explain why their category is wider on that pag
e...
Guys, look at it like this. You go to a parts web site looking for a distributor
for your '53 Hudson Hornet. Would you rather sift through all of the distributo
rs before you discover that they only carry Ford and Chevy parts? Nope, you want
to see a link to "Hudson engine parts" and get down to business. No mention of
Hudson, you go to the next site.
My wife is a big girl and she gets damn frustrated when she sees something she l
ikes, chooses a color and then finds that it isn't available in plus size.
Before you give women too much shit about "enabling an unhealthy lifestyle" you
should also understand that in the clothing industry 'plus size' does not necess
arily mean 400lb folks.

The only legitimate reason I can think of is that the majority of Old Navy custo
mers are plus sized women. Whenever we get a shipment of a product, there are al
most double the amount of larger sizes. Maybe they were trying to give more obvi
ous access to clothing for their (literally) biggest consumer. Gap Inc is usuall
y very literal with their advertisment (eg. Gap toothed women as models for a lo
t of their posters)

It's all marketing. Nothing else would match well with "women's plus" (except if

Their responsive design is very grid based and they organized the sets into the

A Canadian is born in the midst of a long and cold winter's night, when the spir

Grandfather Maple takes the child to Seal Fur Woman, who teaches the child its n

fries. After that, a worthy Canadian couple, who have proven themselves fortudi

Another possibility is that the plus size girl would fill the entirety of the fr
ame in the normal grid size, making her size easier to compare to the other grid
s, and by comparison actually appear larger than she really is.
By giving her a larger frame size, and thus more white space on each side, it co
uld have a bit of a slimming effect compared to the others.
Not sure how well all that works though here, just some design theory i pulled o

I'm no expert, but my guess is that it has something to do with women's style be
ing tighter fitting. Whereas the relatively loose fitting pants worn by men can
accommodate legs of varying widths, with only the waist and length varying great
ly, the tight fitting pants worn by women are far less versatile. It's not hard
to imagine how manufacturing clothes for women is far more costly than it is for
men. Considering this along with the greater demand among the fairer sex for st
ylish clothing, I think we arrive at at least a plausible explanation for why th
ere is a women's plus and not a men's plus.

That's not true. They tried to set up women's clothing like mens, back in the 20
s. Thing is, men are built similarly - triangle - and are able to use the waist/

length method for purchasing off the rack.


When they did the same for women, it didn't work. The difference in body shape f
or a woman who carries in her stomach versus her ass is night and day. It also d
oesn't help that men wear 2 pieces always, whereas women (especially then) wore
a lot of dresses.
But it doesn't have to do with "getting away with" - they did try to standardize
the women's size.

Well, some 3/4 of their merchandise is for women(this includes female children)

Would I like a few more options? Yes. Is there much of a market in that one stor
e for those options, probably not- a quick look at the closets of every female r
elative of mine shows that they each have at least 3x the amount of clothing by
volume as me, going much longer before they "cycle through". Most of them are bu
ying these clothes of their own accord, so it stands to reason that it's not as
profitable under the current system to stock as much clothing for men as women.

Well, men don't have boobs, so that helps reduce body variations.
Other than that, men generally care about the "drop" between shoulders and waist

built guys. I'm almost at the point where even "athletic" cuts don't quite have
enough drop and look kind of billowy on me, and I'm not even built. Actually bi

Women have relative variations in circumference around their boobs, waist and hi
ps. There's also variations in hips vs leg length.
Whereas men, if they are wider or longer around one of these areas, they are gen
erally wider or longer around all three.
Generally speaking, there are exceptions.
This is not probably not enough to explain all of the size difference in terms o

to make it worth carrying a size smaller than 6. Also, they didn't sell dress sl

s of waist/inseam with some styles that change the fit.
When you get into larger sizes they just start adding X's. I've litterally seen
"XXXXXL" printed on a tag, and I held up the shirt and it was about the size of
a bed sheet. It was right next to the M-L shirts I was shopping for, they were j
ust out of the sizes in-between.
Women don't want this setup. They don't want to see their XXXXXL equivalent next
to a XS/S/M shirt because they can see the discrepancy. They want to be guided
to their section where things fit, and see all the other clothes that are close
to the size they can fit into. It falls right into the vanity sizing mindset for
women's clothes.
I'll put it this way. Would you rather be told you're a 4XL or that you're a Rel
axed Fit Medium? Guys generally don't care, and women do. Which is why they call
it out that way.

Maybe I'm weird, but I really don't care what the tags say. I just want clothes

and inseam instead of this arbitrary bullshit that never ever lines up with what
the size chart says it should be.

It's frustrating that "vanity sizing" has crept over to men's clothing. It used
to be so easy to find a pair of pants that fit. Once I knew my inseam and waist
size, I could pick out a pair without even having to try it on. Now, I have to g
o to the fitting room with tower of jeans ranging in size from 28x30 to 34x32 ju
st to find something that fits right - and every brand is different so it's not
like you can just count on the size you got last time.
The whole point of putting numbers on the jeans was to make shopping easy! I'm a
man. I don't care if my clothes literally call me a fat ass while I put them on
if it means I can be in and out of the store in five minutes!

were unbutton-able. It's insane!

I used to be a buyer in women's fashion so I can explain this quite easily. Ther

l medium and large for the most part because it's cheaper to produce them that w
ay. By adding in another size you're adding a huge amount of inventory. Also wom
en's clothing that are plus sizes actually fit quite differently so you can't ju
st get the same style and add a few inches here and there and hope it looks good
. Girls who wear plus sizes are looking for different styles as well. Women's cl
othing have much more variety in styles where as men's sections are pretty much
shirts and pants.

I really don't get it. I think big dudes need to lose weight just as much as I t
hink big women do. I suppose I discriminate equally.
But on a more serious note: being overweight is bad for you. Especially later in
life. My great-aunt spent her last 15 years more or less unable to leave home.
My grandmother has hit the same problem. And now I'm worried that my mother is s
tarting to gain a lot of weight as she gets close to her 60s, and looking at wha
t she eats, it's blatantly obvious as to why. I'm not hating on my mother. But I
wish she would eat less and carry out a more healthy life-style especially beca
use she knows very well how miserable her own aunts later years were. If all thr
ee examples here were women, it's merely coincidence. My father is still thin as
a rake and still very active, as was his, and my grandfather on my mothers side
passed long ago.
If someone in our family is overweight we should try to help them, and if we are
ourselves, we should accept help offered.

When something, whether it be words, images, a person, etc... causes (triggers)
someone to re-experience a traumatic memory. Example: rape victims sometimes bec

Yes, sometimes people feel uncomfortable around criticism and call it a "trigger

Hey, as someone with PTSD I can explain what a trigger is like for me. I can be
just going about my business and I might smell something that reminds me of the
incident, and suddenly I'll be right back there feeling trapped and scared and a
nxious. Fight or flight kicks in. There are images of it happening in my mind. I
can't control it. And that's probably minor compared to what other people with
PTSD can experience.
Genuine triggers are awful. Purposely triggering someone (people actually do tha
t) is a fucking shitty thing to do. I think tumblr has trivialised the term "tri
gger" to the point where people with PTSD don't get taken seriously because they
get lumped in with the ones who take advantage of the term.
There should be a new term for PTSD survivors. "Trigger warning" has been corrup
ted. It's too vague. Something like "flashback warning" would be better.
People with PTSD genuinely need trigger (or flashback) warnings, it's not a joke
. A bad trigger can push someone over the edge.

Fat men will generally look fine in the same clothes as skinny men, provided the

woman, because women's clothes are designed for certain body types. Men's cloth

Plus size clothes are labeled either XXL, XXXL etc., or 1X, 2X, etc. They're sol

Men get a small range of sizes, and mostly terrible fitting clothing; women get
a much larger amount of sizes and two separate sections for the larger and the s
maller. Just chill out and try to see it from other perspectives besides just yo
ur own. I mean have you seen how ill-fitting clothing is for men unless they buy
specialty or get it tailored? We have S, M, L, XL, XXL, XXXL. And if you're not
one of those specific measurements that define one of the 6 main sizes, then yo
u're going to be between them and either have way too tight clothing, or way too
loose clothing. Take it from a guy who grew up constantly in-between sizes and
looking fat in everything. Oh and if you're too embarassed to shop for larger cl
othing, then you're just perpetuating "fat-shaming" and not practicing what you
preach about body pride. Don't like shopping for bigger clothes? Put in the work
to make your body smaller or get over it.

Fat men also have more variety at standard stores. I've seen Old Navy push well
into the high 40 waists.
The problem is that it's a double standard. There is an infinitely higher bias t
oward overweight women than overweight men.
Both lifestyles are unhealthy, but unless you've been a fatty you don't understa
nd the struggle it takes to get away from there.

Food is a fucker and is an easy, shitty solution to many problems. I've been gui
lty for eating my feelings, especially those times where my weight has already b
een high. It's a lot easier to grab a DQ blizzard than it is to pull yourself up
and go get help.
It's taken me almost 40 years to change my mindset into a healthy one. I fucking
loved food. It's not an easy shift, especially if you've been raised to eat unh
ealthy.
Like when I quit smoking, it had to come from inside. And one thing I can tell y
ou is alienating overweight people isn't the solution. Pretending it doesn't exi
st or basically funnelling overweight people into "fat" stores also doesn't help
. It doesn't do great things to ones self esteem to have to go out of your way a
nd shop at these kinds of stores.

I find that the problem with food obsession/binging is somewhat different to mos

around it, unless you live off an IV (can you do that?).

I didn't really want to respond, but this really bothered me. It's very narrow v

It's not always a matter of campaigning for an unhealthy lifestyle. You have to
dress for the body you have.
Shopping at a Big & Tall is a much different experience than shopping at stores
specifically targeted at plus size women (although options have improved greatly
for them over the years.) Many of thedr specialty stores have been known to cat
er towards an older demographic. The reality is there are younger women who are
plus size that want to wear the same trends their friends are wearing (prints, c
olors, silhouettes.) Just because a woman is a size 20 does not mean she only wa
nts to wear leopard prints and ruffles.
Also, keep in mind men's fashion and women's fashion are judged on different spe
ctrums. For instance, the male anchor who wore the same suit for a year.
Yes, obesity is an epidemic in America, but that doesn't mean they should be mar
ginalized.

Clothing is a fun means of expression for many people. If a person wants to patr
on a store and that store wants to cater to them what does it matter?

I never really thought about that. It sort of does show the difference in how of

Double Edit: I've never seen a Big and Tall store that carries pants that are 30

Guys, look at it like this. You go to a parts web site looking for a distributor
for your '53 Hudson Hornet. Would you rather sift through all of the distributo

Hudson, you go to the next site.

I used to make websites like this as my job. It's an unfortunate layout decision
. They just divided into age categories.
Men, Women
Women+, (and there should be Men+)
Girls, Boys
Younger girls, younger boys

The only legitimate reason I can think of is that the majority of Old Navy custo
mers are plus sized women. Whenever we get a shipment of a product, there are al
most double the amount of larger sizes. Maybe they were trying to give more obvi
ous access to clothing for their (literally) biggest consumer. Gap Inc is usuall
y very literal with their advertisment (eg. Gap toothed women as models for a lo
t of their posters)

It's all marketing. Nothing else would match well with "women's plus" (except if
there was a "men's plus") Regardless, it's matched by pairs. "Man" and "women"
look better side by side than "man" and "women's plus".

Their responsive design is very grid based and they organized the sets into the
three pars; adults, kids, toddlers. There is no plus men's category so this sing

A Canadian is born in the midst of a long and cold winter's night, when the spir
its of Moose and Beaver are taken by Grandfather Maple to a hockey rink. If Moos
e out scores Beaver, a boy is born. If Beaver beats Moose, a girl is born. Then
Grandfather Maple takes the child to Seal Fur Woman, who teaches the child its n
ame, the Canadian national anthem, and bestows upon it a love of gravy on French
fries. After that, a worthy Canadian couple, who have proven themselves fortudi
nous by surviving the harsh winter and Stephen Harper's roaming squad of attack

kittens in sweater vests, apologized profusely for all the fuss and is allowed t
o adopt the child from Grandfather Maple.

Another possibility is that the plus size girl would fill the entirety of the fr
ame in the normal grid size, making her size easier to compare to the other grid
s, and by comparison actually appear larger than she really is.
By giving her a larger frame size, and thus more white space on each side, it co
uld have a bit of a slimming effect compared to the others.
Not sure how well all that works though here, just some design theory i pulled o
ut of my ass.

I'm no expert, but my guess is that it has something to do with women's style be
ing tighter fitting. Whereas the relatively loose fitting pants worn by men can
accommodate legs of varying widths, with only the waist and length varying great
ly, the tight fitting pants worn by women are far less versatile. It's not hard
to imagine how manufacturing clothes for women is far more costly than it is for
men. Considering this along with the greater demand among the fairer sex for st
ylish clothing, I think we arrive at at least a plausible explanation for why th
ere is a women's plus and not a men's plus.

That's not true. They tried to set up women's clothing like mens, back in the 20
s. Thing is, men are built similarly - triangle - and are able to use the waist/
length method for purchasing off the rack.
When they did the same for women, it didn't work. The difference in body shape f
or a woman who carries in her stomach versus her ass is night and day. It also d
oesn't help that men wear 2 pieces always, whereas women (especially then) wore
a lot of dresses.
But it doesn't have to do with "getting away with" - they did try to standardize
the women's size.

Well, some 3/4 of their merchandise is for women(this includes female children)

anyway, not that I really give a fuck because I mainly wear jeans and tshirts an

Would I like a few more options? Yes. Is there much of a market in that one stor
e for those options, probably not- a quick look at the closets of every female r
elative of mine shows that they each have at least 3x the amount of clothing by
volume as me, going much longer before they "cycle through". Most of them are bu

profitable under the current system to stock as much clothing for men as women.

Well, men don't have boobs, so that helps reduce body variations.
Other than that, men generally care about the "drop" between shoulders and waist

built guys. I'm almost at the point where even "athletic" cuts don't quite have
enough drop and look kind of billowy on me, and I'm not even built. Actually bi

Women have relative variations in circumference around their boobs, waist and hi
ps. There's also variations in hips vs leg length.
Whereas men, if they are wider or longer around one of these areas, they are gen
erally wider or longer around all three.
Generally speaking, there are exceptions.
This is not probably not enough to explain all of the size difference in terms o
f men's clothing vs women's clothing, but it's certainly a factor.

Anecdotally men's sizes are generally S/M/L/XL and then you add a few X's for th

ecause I was too small. Women my size don't shop at (that) Walmart often enough
to make it worth carrying a size smaller than 6. Also, they didn't sell dress sl

Typical stores have 4 sizes of mens shirts (S-XL) and an assortment of pants usu
ally ranging from 28-40 waist and 30-38 inseam with an assortment of combination
s of waist/inseam with some styles that change the fit.
When you get into larger sizes they just start adding X's. I've litterally seen
"XXXXXL" printed on a tag, and I held up the shirt and it was about the size of
a bed sheet. It was right next to the M-L shirts I was shopping for, they were j
ust out of the sizes in-between.
Women don't want this setup. They don't want to see their XXXXXL equivalent next
to a XS/S/M shirt because they can see the discrepancy. They want to be guided
to their section where things fit, and see all the other clothes that are close
to the size they can fit into. It falls right into the vanity sizing mindset for
women's clothes.
I'll put it this way. Would you rather be told you're a 4XL or that you're a Rel
axed Fit Medium? Guys generally don't care, and women do. Which is why they call
it out that way.

It's frustrating that "vanity sizing" has crept over to men's clothing. It used

st to find something that fits right - and every brand is different so it's not
like you can just count on the size you got last time.
The whole point of putting numbers on the jeans was to make shopping easy! I'm a

t she eats, it's blatantly obvious as to why. I'm not hating on my mother. But I
wish she would eat less and carry out a more healthy life-style especially beca
use she knows very well how miserable her own aunts later years were. If all thr
ee examples here were women, it's merely coincidence. My father is still thin as
a rake and still very active, as was his, and my grandfather on my mothers side
passed long ago.
If someone in our family is overweight we should try to help them, and if we are
ourselves, we should accept help offered.

Can someone explain this 'trigger' bullshit to me?
permalinkparent
[ ]RossBoss95 183 points 5 hours ago
Sure. Triggers in real life are things that can trigger a negative flashback or
panic attack in people who suffer from post traumatic stress disorder. Tumblr ba
stardizes this by claiming that they have some type of internet PTSD and certain
words or things can trigger them to have a panic attack. It really just boils d
own to hurting fee fee's

You have to understand it's not so much about how offended you actually are. It'

being a victim of EVERYTHING they get attention which is the end goal. If you w

When I was in treatment for my eating disorder, a "trigger" was something that t
riggered your unhealthy behavior. Like, going to the grocery store was a trigger
for me because of the laxative section. It was very difficult for me to stay aw
ay from it. Hopefully that makes sense?

When something, whether it be words, images, a person, etc... causes (triggers)
someone to re-experience a traumatic memory. Example: rape victims sometimes bec
ome incredibly anxious when their rapist enters the room, or fireworks can set o
ff flashbacks for soldiers with PTSD.
Yes, sometimes people feel uncomfortable around criticism and call it a "trigger
" to shut down conversation, but I think many triggers are legitimate. Reddit do
esn't seem to think that's the case.

Hey, as someone with PTSD I can explain what a trigger is like for me. I can be
just going about my business and I might smell something that reminds me of the
incident, and suddenly I'll be right back there feeling trapped and scared and a
nxious. Fight or flight kicks in. There are images of it happening in my mind. I
can't control it. And that's probably minor compared to what other people with
PTSD can experience.
Genuine triggers are awful. Purposely triggering someone (people actually do tha
t) is a fucking shitty thing to do. I think tumblr has trivialised the term "tri
gger" to the point where people with PTSD don't get taken seriously because they
get lumped in with the ones who take advantage of the term.

There should be a new term for PTSD survivors. "Trigger warning" has been corrup
ted. It's too vague. Something like "flashback warning" would be better.
People with PTSD genuinely need trigger (or flashback) warnings, it's not a joke
. A bad trigger can push someone over the edge.

Men get a small range of sizes, and mostly terrible fitting clothing; women get
a much larger amount of sizes and two separate sections for the larger and the s
maller. Just chill out and try to see it from other perspectives besides just yo
ur own. I mean have you seen how ill-fitting clothing is for men unless they buy
specialty or get it tailored? We have S, M, L, XL, XXL, XXXL. And if you're not
one of those specific measurements that define one of the 6 main sizes, then yo
u're going to be between them and either have way too tight clothing, or way too
loose clothing. Take it from a guy who grew up constantly in-between sizes and

Fat men also have more variety at standard stores. I've seen Old Navy push well
into the high 40 waists.
The problem is that it's a double standard. There is an infinitely higher bias t
oward overweight women than overweight men.
Both lifestyles are unhealthy, but unless you've been a fatty you don't understa
nd the struggle it takes to get away from there.
Food is a fucker and is an easy, shitty solution to many problems. I've been gui
lty for eating my feelings, especially those times where my weight has already b
een high. It's a lot easier to grab a DQ blizzard than it is to pull yourself up
and go get help.
It's taken me almost 40 years to change my mindset into a healthy one. I fucking
loved food. It's not an easy shift, especially if you've been raised to eat unh
ealthy.
Like when I quit smoking, it had to come from inside. And one thing I can tell y
ou is alienating overweight people isn't the solution. Pretending it doesn't exi
st or basically funnelling overweight people into "fat" stores also doesn't help
. It doesn't do great things to ones self esteem to have to go out of your way a
nd shop at these kinds of stores.

I find that the problem with food obsession/binging is somewhat different to mos
t addictions. When you quit smoking, you never have to take up a cigarette again
. You don't need it. Same with other drugs. But you need to eat. There's no way
around it, unless you live off an IV (can you do that?).

I didn't really want to respond, but this really bothered me. It's very narrow v
iew.
It's not always a matter of campaigning for an unhealthy lifestyle. You have to
dress for the body you have.
Shopping at a Big & Tall is a much different experience than shopping at stores
specifically targeted at plus size women (although options have improved greatly
for them over the years.) Many of thedr specialty stores have been known to cat
er towards an older demographic. The reality is there are younger women who are
plus size that want to wear the same trends their friends are wearing (prints, c
olors, silhouettes.) Just because a woman is a size 20 does not mean she only wa
nts to wear leopard prints and ruffles.
Also, keep in mind men's fashion and women's fashion are judged on different spe
ctrums. For instance, the male anchor who wore the same suit for a year.
Yes, obesity is an epidemic in America, but that doesn't mean they should be mar
ginalized.
Clothing is a fun means of expression for many people. If a person wants to patr
on a store and that store wants to cater to them what does it matter?

I never really thought about that. It sort of does show the difference in how of

store though. There probably aren't nearly as many people who fit that category
as there are people who fit the big+tall category, so that'll probably never ha
ppen. But dammit, I want more options for 30x34/30x36 pants!
EDIT: I feel like I'm working at Old Navy again.
Double Edit: I've never seen a Big and Tall store that carries pants that are 30
x34/36. I've seen >32x34, but never my size. It's always geared toward either av

Guys, look at it like this. You go to a parts web site looking for a distributor
for your '53 Hudson Hornet. Would you rather sift through all of the distributo

to see a link to "Hudson engine parts" and get down to business. No mention of
Hudson, you go to the next site.
My wife is a big girl and she gets damn frustrated when she sees something she l

Get over yourself lady. We're never going to move towards equality or anything u
seful if stupid stuff like this keeps making headlines or front pages of website
s. "They put me on the bottom cause I'm white." "They put me off to the side cau
se I'm black." "They gave me two frames cause I'm fat."
People like yourself need to stop looking into useless things and do something p
roductive for this world.

Their responsive design is very grid based and they organized the sets into the
three pars; adults, kids, toddlers. There is no plus men's category so this sing
le category either had to take up two grid positions or go to the bottom as a si
ngle grid otherwise it would mess up their side by side organization. Regardless
sure the designers thought "shit, this looks bad"

A Canadian is born in the midst of a long and cold winter's night, when the spir
its of Moose and Beaver are taken by Grandfather Maple to a hockey rink. If Moos
e out scores Beaver, a boy is born. If Beaver beats Moose, a girl is born. Then
Grandfather Maple takes the child to Seal Fur Woman, who teaches the child its n
ame, the Canadian national anthem, and bestows upon it a love of gravy on French
fries. After that, a worthy Canadian couple, who have proven themselves fortudi
nous by surviving the harsh winter and Stephen Harper's roaming squad of attack
kittens in sweater vests, apologized profusely for all the fuss and is allowed t
o adopt the child from Grandfather Maple.

Another possibility is that the plus size girl would fill the entirety of the fr
ame in the normal grid size, making her size easier to compare to the other grid
s, and by comparison actually appear larger than she really is.
By giving her a larger frame size, and thus more white space on each side, it co
uld have a bit of a slimming effect compared to the others.
Not sure how well all that works though here, just some design theory i pulled o
ut of my ass.

I'm no expert, but my guess is that it has something to do with women's style be
ing tighter fitting. Whereas the relatively loose fitting pants worn by men can
accommodate legs of varying widths, with only the waist and length varying great
ly, the tight fitting pants worn by women are far less versatile. It's not hard
to imagine how manufacturing clothes for women is far more costly than it is for
men. Considering this along with the greater demand among the fairer sex for st
ylish clothing, I think we arrive at at least a plausible explanation for why th
ere is a women's plus and not a men's plus.

That's not true. They tried to set up women's clothing like mens, back in the 20
s. Thing is, men are built similarly - triangle - and are able to use the waist/
length method for purchasing off the rack.
When they did the same for women, it didn't work. The difference in body shape f
or a woman who carries in her stomach versus her ass is night and day. It also d
oesn't help that men wear 2 pieces always, whereas women (especially then) wore
a lot of dresses.
But it doesn't have to do with "getting away with" - they did try to standardize
the women's size.

Well, some 3/4 of their merchandise is for women(this includes female children)
anyway, not that I really give a fuck because I mainly wear jeans and tshirts an
yway.
Would I like a few more options? Yes. Is there much of a market in that one stor
e for those options, probably not- a quick look at the closets of every female r
elative of mine shows that they each have at least 3x the amount of clothing by
volume as me, going much longer before they "cycle through". Most of them are bu
ying these clothes of their own accord, so it stands to reason that it's not as
profitable under the current system to stock as much clothing for men as women.

I make ON promo emails and they usually make W doublewide since it gets the most

However in this case, it looks like this was based off the same layout as the US

to disturb the layout for the canada version too much so just made WP doublewid
e.

This is the Canadian site apparently. The US version has maternity next to women

I read a very interesting research study conducted by a state board of health an
d education that concluded that obese individuals, once they've lost a majority
of their excess weight (through diet snd exercise - aka the healthy, progressive
way) are 55-65% less likely to experience depression symptoms; 80-92% reported

overall quality of life improvements that they called very significant.


Probably common sense, but hearing those numbers may act as a motivator for you!

Well, men don't have boobs, so that helps reduce body variations.
Other than that, men generally care about the "drop" between shoulders and waist
. This can vary a lot between fat guys, skinny-fat guys, lean athletic guys, and
built guys. I'm almost at the point where even "athletic" cuts don't quite have
enough drop and look kind of billowy on me, and I'm not even built. Actually bi
g dudes need to get almost everything tailored so it doesn't look like you're we
aring a garbage bag.

Women have relative variations in circumference around their boobs, waist and hi
ps. There's also variations in hips vs leg length.
Whereas men, if they are wider or longer around one of these areas, they are gen
erally wider or longer around all three.
Generally speaking, there are exceptions.

This is not probably not enough to explain all of the size difference in terms o
f men's clothing vs women's clothing, but it's certainly a factor.
permalinkparent

I don't really know if there's a way to quantitatively answer that question.
Maybe standard deviation of men's waist/inseam/whatever vs. women's. But I don't
know if those kind of statistics are out there.
Anecdotally men's sizes are generally S/M/L/XL and then you add a few X's for th
e really big dudes. Whereas I doubt that any two girls who both wear a size 4 dr
ess look very similar in terms of body shape.

Correct, many many upscale stores do not offer larger sizes for women, and imo i
t's a financial decision on their part, nothing more. It works the other way too
. When I shopped at Walmart, they did not have women's dress slacks in my size b
ecause I was too small. Women my size don't shop at (that) Walmart often enough
to make it worth carrying a size smaller than 6. Also, they didn't sell dress sl
acks for little girls, so I had to purchase little boy's dress slacks. Normally
I don't buy dress slacks at Walmart but I had a... pants emergency.

That basically is why there are separate garments in each section. There are som

feet too wide, BUT have the length for the shirt to cover my freaking stomach,

It doesn't matter overall though, because 99% of stores, as I said, don't go ove

Typical stores have 4 sizes of mens shirts (S-XL) and an assortment of pants usu
ally ranging from 28-40 waist and 30-38 inseam with an assortment of combination
s of waist/inseam with some styles that change the fit.
When you get into larger sizes they just start adding X's. I've litterally seen
"XXXXXL" printed on a tag, and I held up the shirt and it was about the size of
a bed sheet. It was right next to the M-L shirts I was shopping for, they were j
ust out of the sizes in-between.
Women don't want this setup. They don't want to see their XXXXXL equivalent next
to a XS/S/M shirt because they can see the discrepancy. They want to be guided
to their section where things fit, and see all the other clothes that are close
to the size they can fit into. It falls right into the vanity sizing mindset for
women's clothes.
I'll put it this way. Would you rather be told you're a 4XL or that you're a Rel
axed Fit Medium? Guys generally don't care, and women do. Which is why they call
it out that way.

It's frustrating that "vanity sizing" has crept over to men's clothing. It used

o to the fitting room with tower of jeans ranging in size from 28x30 to 34x32 ju
st to find something that fits right - and every brand is different so it's not
like you can just count on the size you got last time.
The whole point of putting numbers on the jeans was to make shopping easy! I'm a

if it means I can be in and out of the store in five minutes!

I really don't get it. I think big dudes need to lose weight just as much as I t

But on a more serious note: being overweight is bad for you. Especially later in
life. My great-aunt spent her last 15 years more or less unable to leave home.
My grandmother has hit the same problem. And now I'm worried that my mother is s
tarting to gain a lot of weight as she gets close to her 60s, and looking at wha
t she eats, it's blatantly obvious as to why. I'm not hating on my mother. But I
wish she would eat less and carry out a more healthy life-style especially beca
use she knows very well how miserable her own aunts later years were. If all thr
ee examples here were women, it's merely coincidence. My father is still thin as
a rake and still very active, as was his, and my grandfather on my mothers side
passed long ago.
If someone in our family is overweight we should try to help them, and if we are
ourselves, we should accept help offered.

Hey, as someone with PTSD I can explain what a trigger is like for me. I can be
just going about my business and I might smell something that reminds me of the
incident, and suddenly I'll be right back there feeling trapped and scared and a
nxious. Fight or flight kicks in. There are images of it happening in my mind. I
can't control it. And that's probably minor compared to what other people with
PTSD can experience.
Genuine triggers are awful. Purposely triggering someone (people actually do tha
t) is a fucking shitty thing to do. I think tumblr has trivialised the term "tri
gger" to the point where people with PTSD don't get taken seriously because they
get lumped in with the ones who take advantage of the term.
There should be a new term for PTSD survivors. "Trigger warning" has been corrup
ted. It's too vague. Something like "flashback warning" would be better.
People with PTSD genuinely need trigger (or flashback) warnings, it's not a joke
. A bad trigger can push someone over the edge.

Men get a small range of sizes, and mostly terrible fitting clothing; women get
a much larger amount of sizes and two separate sections for the larger and the s
maller. Just chill out and try to see it from other perspectives besides just yo
ur own. I mean have you seen how ill-fitting clothing is for men unless they buy
specialty or get it tailored? We have S, M, L, XL, XXL, XXXL. And if you're not
one of those specific measurements that define one of the 6 main sizes, then yo
u're going to be between them and either have way too tight clothing, or way too
loose clothing. Take it from a guy who grew up constantly in-between sizes and
looking fat in everything. Oh and if you're too embarassed to shop for larger cl
othing, then you're just perpetuating "fat-shaming" and not practicing what you
preach about body pride. Don't like shopping for bigger clothes? Put in the work

to make your body smaller or get over it.

Fat men also have more variety at standard stores. I've seen Old Navy push well
into the high 40 waists.
The problem is that it's a double standard. There is an infinitely higher bias t
oward overweight women than overweight men.
Both lifestyles are unhealthy, but unless you've been a fatty you don't understa
nd the struggle it takes to get away from there.
Food is a fucker and is an easy, shitty solution to many problems. I've been gui
lty for eating my feelings, especially those times where my weight has already b
een high. It's a lot easier to grab a DQ blizzard than it is to pull yourself up
and go get help.
It's taken me almost 40 years to change my mindset into a healthy one. I fucking
loved food. It's not an easy shift, especially if you've been raised to eat unh
ealthy.
Like when I quit smoking, it had to come from inside. And one thing I can tell y
ou is alienating overweight people isn't the solution. Pretending it doesn't exi
st or basically funnelling overweight people into "fat" stores also doesn't help
. It doesn't do great things to ones self esteem to have to go out of your way a

I find that the problem with food obsession/binging is somewhat different to mos

I didn't really want to respond, but this really bothered me. It's very narrow v
iew.
It's not always a matter of campaigning for an unhealthy lifestyle. You have to
dress for the body you have.
Shopping at a Big & Tall is a much different experience than shopping at stores
specifically targeted at plus size women (although options have improved greatly
for them over the years.) Many of thedr specialty stores have been known to cat
er towards an older demographic. The reality is there are younger women who are
plus size that want to wear the same trends their friends are wearing (prints, c
olors, silhouettes.) Just because a woman is a size 20 does not mean she only wa
nts to wear leopard prints and ruffles.
Also, keep in mind men's fashion and women's fashion are judged on different spe
ctrums. For instance, the male anchor who wore the same suit for a year.
Yes, obesity is an epidemic in America, but that doesn't mean they should be mar
ginalized.
Clothing is a fun means of expression for many people. If a person wants to patr
on a store and that store wants to cater to them what does it matter?

I never really thought about that. It sort of does show the difference in how of

as there are people who fit the big+tall category, so that'll probably never ha

EDIT: I feel like I'm working at Old Navy again.
Double Edit: I've never seen a Big and Tall store that carries pants that are 30

What is this shit? How is "women's plus" any different than "big and tall?" "Big

You're also completely ignoring stores like "Lane Bryant."

I don't see how you could argue it is MORE of a euphemism.
Plus size seems like more of a euphemism than big. And tall isn't a substitution
for anything, unless you would prefer they use the term "lamppost" to make sure
they aren't overusing euphemisms.

The weird part is, Old Navy DOES have a "Big and Tall" selection in their mens c
lothing, but you don't really see it until you click on the item you want to buy
.
But the womens stuff is separated out as a whole new category of "Womens Plus"
permalink
[ ]queenbrewer 21 points 5 hours ago
I think this is partially because plus sized women's clothing needs to be design
ed more differently than plus sized men's clothing, which usually is just larger
cuts of the same styles.

Yeah, most plus size models are heavy compared to regular models, but very propo

don't usually look like that.

Plus models are typically 6 foot size 12's. That's in no way obese. Indeed, tall
women wearing the lower end of plus sizes aren't likely to be obese.

I get why plus sizes get there own category. If a big girl is checking out a sto

their size. That doesn't really explain why their category is wider on that pag
e...
Guys, look at it like this. You go to a parts web site looking for a distributor
for your '53 Hudson Hornet. Would you rather sift through all of the distributo
rs before you discover that they only carry Ford and Chevy parts? Nope, you want
to see a link to "Hudson engine parts" and get down to business. No mention of
Hudson, you go to the next site.
My wife is a big girl and she gets damn frustrated when she sees something she l
ikes, chooses a color and then finds that it isn't available in plus size.
Before you give women too much shit about "enabling an unhealthy lifestyle" you
should also understand that in the clothing industry 'plus size' does not necess
arily mean 400lb folks.

The only legitimate reason I can think of is that the majority of Old Navy custo
mers are plus sized women. Whenever we get a shipment of a product, there are al
most double the amount of larger sizes. Maybe they were trying to give more obvi

y very literal with their advertisment (eg. Gap toothed women as models for a lo

Another possibility is that the plus size girl would fill the entirety of the fr

s, and by comparison actually appear larger than she really is.
By giving her a larger frame size, and thus more white space on each side, it co
uld have a bit of a slimming effect compared to the others.
Not sure how well all that works though here, just some design theory i pulled o

I'm no expert, but my guess is that it has something to do with women's style be
ing tighter fitting. Whereas the relatively loose fitting pants worn by men can
accommodate legs of varying widths, with only the waist and length varying great
ly, the tight fitting pants worn by women are far less versatile. It's not hard
to imagine how manufacturing clothes for women is far more costly than it is for

men. Considering this along with the greater demand among the fairer sex for st
ylish clothing, I think we arrive at at least a plausible explanation for why th
ere is a women's plus and not a men's plus.

That's not true. They tried to set up women's clothing like mens, back in the 20
s. Thing is, men are built similarly - triangle - and are able to use the waist/
length method for purchasing off the rack.
When they did the same for women, it didn't work. The difference in body shape f
or a woman who carries in her stomach versus her ass is night and day. It also d
oesn't help that men wear 2 pieces always, whereas women (especially then) wore
a lot of dresses.
But it doesn't have to do with "getting away with" - they did try to standardize

the women's size.

Well, some 3/4 of their merchandise is for women(this includes female children)

Would I like a few more options? Yes. Is there much of a market in that one stor
e for those options, probably not- a quick look at the closets of every female r
elative of mine shows that they each have at least 3x the amount of clothing by
volume as me, going much longer before they "cycle through". Most of them are bu

profitable under the current system to stock as much clothing for men as women.

Well, men don't have boobs, so that helps reduce body variations.
Other than that, men generally care about the "drop" between shoulders and waist
. This can vary a lot between fat guys, skinny-fat guys, lean athletic guys, and
built guys. I'm almost at the point where even "athletic" cuts don't quite have
enough drop and look kind of billowy on me, and I'm not even built. Actually bi

Women have relative variations in circumference around their boobs, waist and hi
ps. There's also variations in hips vs leg length.
Whereas men, if they are wider or longer around one of these areas, they are gen
erally wider or longer around all three.
Generally speaking, there are exceptions.
This is not probably not enough to explain all of the size difference in terms o

I'm fairly certain most women's clothing have arbitrary size cut offs, because A
bercrombie and Fitch doesn't want fat chicks wearing their clothes. There's not
as much stigma for fat guys, so brands are willing to make extra or double extra
large.

Correct, many many upscale stores do not offer larger sizes for women, and imo i
t's a financial decision on their part, nothing more. It works the other way too
. When I shopped at Walmart, they did not have women's dress slacks in my size b
ecause I was too small. Women my size don't shop at (that) Walmart often enough
to make it worth carrying a size smaller than 6. Also, they didn't sell dress sl
acks for little girls, so I had to purchase little boy's dress slacks. Normally
I don't buy dress slacks at Walmart but I had a... pants emergency.

That basically is why there are separate garments in each section. There are som

not all regular ones can be cut to suit a larger frame. So there's a separate s
election.
They're separate for the sake of ease in shopping.

6'8" chubby guy here. Mens sections RARELY have over XL size shirts, and they NE
VER, EVER, EVER have 2XL AND tall styles. I can get a 3XL shirt and have it be 3
feet too wide, BUT have the length for the shirt to cover my freaking stomach,
OR go with a nicer-fitting 2XL and look like a belly-dancer.
It doesn't matter overall though, because 99% of stores, as I said, don't go ove
r XL.
And don't you even fucking get me started on shoes.. the pair I have right now h
ave holes in them because I just simply don't want to go through the months-long
process of having shoes shipped to you to try them on, and ship them back when
they aren't good enough just to order another pair to try (And yes I can just or
der many pairs in bulk at once and ship back the rest you don't want, but compan

Typical stores have 4 sizes of mens shirts (S-XL) and an assortment of pants usu
ally ranging from 28-40 waist and 30-38 inseam with an assortment of combination
s of waist/inseam with some styles that change the fit.
When you get into larger sizes they just start adding X's. I've litterally seen
"XXXXXL" printed on a tag, and I held up the shirt and it was about the size of
a bed sheet. It was right next to the M-L shirts I was shopping for, they were j
ust out of the sizes in-between.
Women don't want this setup. They don't want to see their XXXXXL equivalent next
to a XS/S/M shirt because they can see the discrepancy. They want to be guided
to their section where things fit, and see all the other clothes that are close
to the size they can fit into. It falls right into the vanity sizing mindset for
women's clothes.
I'll put it this way. Would you rather be told you're a 4XL or that you're a Rel
axed Fit Medium? Guys generally don't care, and women do. Which is why they call
it out that way.

It's frustrating that "vanity sizing" has crept over to men's clothing. It used
to be so easy to find a pair of pants that fit. Once I knew my inseam and waist
size, I could pick out a pair without even having to try it on. Now, I have to g
o to the fitting room with tower of jeans ranging in size from 28x30 to 34x32 ju
st to find something that fits right - and every brand is different so it's not
like you can just count on the size you got last time.
The whole point of putting numbers on the jeans was to make shopping easy! I'm a
man. I don't care if my clothes literally call me a fat ass while I put them on
if it means I can be in and out of the store in five minutes!

en's clothing that are plus sizes actually fit quite differently so you can't ju
st get the same style and add a few inches here and there and hope it looks good
. Girls who wear plus sizes are looking for different styles as well. Women's cl

shirts and pants.

I really don't get it. I think big dudes need to lose weight just as much as I t

But on a more serious note: being overweight is bad for you. Especially later in
life. My great-aunt spent her last 15 years more or less unable to leave home.
My grandmother has hit the same problem. And now I'm worried that my mother is s
tarting to gain a lot of weight as she gets close to her 60s, and looking at wha
t she eats, it's blatantly obvious as to why. I'm not hating on my mother. But I
wish she would eat less and carry out a more healthy life-style especially beca
use she knows very well how miserable her own aunts later years were. If all thr
ee examples here were women, it's merely coincidence. My father is still thin as
a rake and still very active, as was his, and my grandfather on my mothers side
passed long ago.
If someone in our family is overweight we should try to help them, and if we are
ourselves, we should accept help offered.

Hey, as someone with PTSD I can explain what a trigger is like for me. I can be
just going about my business and I might smell something that reminds me of the
incident, and suddenly I'll be right back there feeling trapped and scared and a
nxious. Fight or flight kicks in. There are images of it happening in my mind. I
can't control it. And that's probably minor compared to what other people with
PTSD can experience.
Genuine triggers are awful. Purposely triggering someone (people actually do tha
t) is a fucking shitty thing to do. I think tumblr has trivialised the term "tri
gger" to the point where people with PTSD don't get taken seriously because they
get lumped in with the ones who take advantage of the term.
There should be a new term for PTSD survivors. "Trigger warning" has been corrup
ted. It's too vague. Something like "flashback warning" would be better.
People with PTSD genuinely need trigger (or flashback) warnings, it's not a joke
. A bad trigger can push someone over the edge.

Fat men will generally look fine in the same clothes as skinny men, provided the

Men get a small range of sizes, and mostly terrible fitting clothing; women get
a much larger amount of sizes and two separate sections for the larger and the s
maller. Just chill out and try to see it from other perspectives besides just yo
ur own. I mean have you seen how ill-fitting clothing is for men unless they buy
specialty or get it tailored? We have S, M, L, XL, XXL, XXXL. And if you're not
one of those specific measurements that define one of the 6 main sizes, then yo
u're going to be between them and either have way too tight clothing, or way too
loose clothing. Take it from a guy who grew up constantly in-between sizes and
looking fat in everything. Oh and if you're too embarassed to shop for larger cl
othing, then you're just perpetuating "fat-shaming" and not practicing what you
preach about body pride. Don't like shopping for bigger clothes? Put in the work
to make your body smaller or get over it.

Fat men also have more variety at standard stores. I've seen Old Navy push well
into the high 40 waists.
The problem is that it's a double standard. There is an infinitely higher bias t
oward overweight women than overweight men.
Both lifestyles are unhealthy, but unless you've been a fatty you don't understa
nd the struggle it takes to get away from there.
Food is a fucker and is an easy, shitty solution to many problems. I've been gui
lty for eating my feelings, especially those times where my weight has already b
een high. It's a lot easier to grab a DQ blizzard than it is to pull yourself up
and go get help.
It's taken me almost 40 years to change my mindset into a healthy one. I fucking
loved food. It's not an easy shift, especially if you've been raised to eat unh

ealthy.
Like when I quit smoking, it had to come from inside. And one thing I can tell y
ou is alienating overweight people isn't the solution. Pretending it doesn't exi
st or basically funnelling overweight people into "fat" stores also doesn't help
. It doesn't do great things to ones self esteem to have to go out of your way a
nd shop at these kinds of stores.

I find that the problem with food obsession/binging is somewhat different to mos

around it, unless you live off an IV (can you do that?).

I didn't really want to respond, but this really bothered me. It's very narrow v

It's not always a matter of campaigning for an unhealthy lifestyle. You have to
dress for the body you have.
Shopping at a Big & Tall is a much different experience than shopping at stores
specifically targeted at plus size women (although options have improved greatly
for them over the years.) Many of thedr specialty stores have been known to cat
er towards an older demographic. The reality is there are younger women who are
plus size that want to wear the same trends their friends are wearing (prints, c
olors, silhouettes.) Just because a woman is a size 20 does not mean she only wa
nts to wear leopard prints and ruffles.
Also, keep in mind men's fashion and women's fashion are judged on different spe
ctrums. For instance, the male anchor who wore the same suit for a year.
Yes, obesity is an epidemic in America, but that doesn't mean they should be mar
ginalized.
Clothing is a fun means of expression for many people. If a person wants to patr
on a store and that store wants to cater to them what does it matter?

I never really thought about that. It sort of does show the difference in how of

as there are people who fit the big+tall category, so that'll probably never ha

EDIT: I feel like I'm working at Old Navy again.
Double Edit: I've never seen a Big and Tall store that carries pants that are 30

Old navy has been getting some negative lime light over their plus side clothing
recently. Apparently, they charge more for a larger size of the same item in wo
men's clothing (not so for men's).

I get why plus sizes get there own category. If a big girl is checking out a sto
re for the first time, they want to know quickly if they might have something in
their size. That doesn't really explain why their category is wider on that pag
e...

Guys, look at it like this. You go to a parts web site looking for a distributor
for your '53 Hudson Hornet. Would you rather sift through all of the distributo
rs before you discover that they only carry Ford and Chevy parts? Nope, you want
to see a link to "Hudson engine parts" and get down to business. No mention of
Hudson, you go to the next site.
My wife is a big girl and she gets damn frustrated when she sees something she l
ikes, chooses a color and then finds that it isn't available in plus size.
Before you give women too much shit about "enabling an unhealthy lifestyle" you
should also understand that in the clothing industry 'plus size' does not necess
arily mean 400lb folks.

The only legitimate reason I can think of is that the majority of Old Navy custo
mers are plus sized women. Whenever we get a shipment of a product, there are al
most double the amount of larger sizes. Maybe they were trying to give more obvi
ous access to clothing for their (literally) biggest consumer. Gap Inc is usuall
y very literal with their advertisment (eg. Gap toothed women as models for a lo
t of their posters)

It's all marketing. Nothing else would match well with "women's plus" (except if
there was a "men's plus") Regardless, it's matched by pairs. "Man" and "women"
look better side by side than "man" and "women's plus".

Their responsive design is very grid based and they organized the sets into the
three pars; adults, kids, toddlers. There is no plus men's category so this sing

le category either had to take up two grid positions or go to the bottom as a si

A Canadian is born in the midst of a long and cold winter's night, when the spir

e out scores Beaver, a boy is born. If Beaver beats Moose, a girl is born. Then
Grandfather Maple takes the child to Seal Fur Woman, who teaches the child its n
ame, the Canadian national anthem, and bestows upon it a love of gravy on French
fries. After that, a worthy Canadian couple, who have proven themselves fortudi

kittens in sweater vests, apologized profusely for all the fuss and is allowed t

Another possibility is that the plus size girl would fill the entirety of the fr

s, and by comparison actually appear larger than she really is.
By giving her a larger frame size, and thus more white space on each side, it co
uld have a bit of a slimming effect compared to the others.
Not sure how well all that works though here, just some design theory i pulled o

I'm no expert, but my guess is that it has something to do with women's style be
ing tighter fitting. Whereas the relatively loose fitting pants worn by men can
accommodate legs of varying widths, with only the waist and length varying great
ly, the tight fitting pants worn by women are far less versatile. It's not hard
to imagine how manufacturing clothes for women is far more costly than it is for
men. Considering this along with the greater demand among the fairer sex for st
ylish clothing, I think we arrive at at least a plausible explanation for why th
ere is a women's plus and not a men's plus.

That's not true. They tried to set up women's clothing like mens, back in the 20
s. Thing is, men are built similarly - triangle - and are able to use the waist/
length method for purchasing off the rack.
When they did the same for women, it didn't work. The difference in body shape f
or a woman who carries in her stomach versus her ass is night and day. It also d
oesn't help that men wear 2 pieces always, whereas women (especially then) wore
a lot of dresses.
But it doesn't have to do with "getting away with" - they did try to standardize

Well, men don't have boobs, so that helps reduce body variations.

built guys. I'm almost at the point where even "athletic" cuts don't quite have
enough drop and look kind of billowy on me, and I'm not even built. Actually bi

Women have relative variations in circumference around their boobs, waist and hi
ps. There's also variations in hips vs leg length.
Whereas men, if they are wider or longer around one of these areas, they are gen
erally wider or longer around all three.
Generally speaking, there are exceptions.
This is not probably not enough to explain all of the size difference in terms o

Typical stores have 4 sizes of mens shirts (S-XL) and an assortment of pants usu
ally ranging from 28-40 waist and 30-38 inseam with an assortment of combination
s of waist/inseam with some styles that change the fit.
When you get into larger sizes they just start adding X's. I've litterally seen
"XXXXXL" printed on a tag, and I held up the shirt and it was about the size of
a bed sheet. It was right next to the M-L shirts I was shopping for, they were j
ust out of the sizes in-between.
Women don't want this setup. They don't want to see their XXXXXL equivalent next
to a XS/S/M shirt because they can see the discrepancy. They want to be guided
to their section where things fit, and see all the other clothes that are close
to the size they can fit into. It falls right into the vanity sizing mindset for
women's clothes.
I'll put it this way. Would you rather be told you're a 4XL or that you're a Rel
axed Fit Medium? Guys generally don't care, and women do. Which is why they call
it out that way.

[ ]Tattis 26 points 6 hours ago
It's frustrating that "vanity sizing" has crept over to men's clothing. It used
to be so easy to find a pair of pants that fit. Once I knew my inseam and waist
size, I could pick out a pair without even having to try it on. Now, I have to g
o to the fitting room with tower of jeans ranging in size from 28x30 to 34x32 ju
st to find something that fits right - and every brand is different so it's not
like you can just count on the size you got last time.
The whole point of putting numbers on the jeans was to make shopping easy! I'm a
man. I don't care if my clothes literally call me a fat ass while I put them on
if it means I can be in and out of the store in five minutes!

them. Surprise! None of them truly fit. 1 pair was skin tight and the other two
were unbutton-able. It's insane!

I used to be a buyer in women's fashion so I can explain this quite easily. Ther
e is no agenda to make females feel bad. You are our customers we want you to fe
el good. Other than that woman's fashion companies produce clothing in only smal
l medium and large for the most part because it's cheaper to produce them that w
ay. By adding in another size you're adding a huge amount of inventory. Also wom
en's clothing that are plus sizes actually fit quite differently so you can't ju
st get the same style and add a few inches here and there and hope it looks good
. Girls who wear plus sizes are looking for different styles as well. Women's cl
othing have much more variety in styles where as men's sections are pretty much
shirts and pants.

I really don't get it. I think big dudes need to lose weight just as much as I t
hink big women do. I suppose I discriminate equally.
But on a more serious note: being overweight is bad for you. Especially later in
life. My great-aunt spent her last 15 years more or less unable to leave home.
My grandmother has hit the same problem. And now I'm worried that my mother is s
tarting to gain a lot of weight as she gets close to her 60s, and looking at wha
t she eats, it's blatantly obvious as to why. I'm not hating on my mother. But I
wish she would eat less and carry out a more healthy life-style especially beca
use she knows very well how miserable her own aunts later years were. If all thr
ee examples here were women, it's merely coincidence. My father is still thin as
a rake and still very active, as was his, and my grandfather on my mothers side
passed long ago.
If someone in our family is overweight we should try to help them, and if we are
ourselves, we should accept help offered.

Sure. Triggers in real life are things that can trigger a negative flashback or

When I was in treatment for my eating disorder, a "trigger" was something that t

When something, whether it be words, images, a person, etc... causes (triggers)
someone to re-experience a traumatic memory. Example: rape victims sometimes bec
ome incredibly anxious when their rapist enters the room, or fireworks can set o
ff flashbacks for soldiers with PTSD.
Yes, sometimes people feel uncomfortable around criticism and call it a "trigger
" to shut down conversation, but I think many triggers are legitimate. Reddit do
esn't seem to think that's the case.

Hey, as someone with PTSD I can explain what a trigger is like for me. I can be
just going about my business and I might smell something that reminds me of the
incident, and suddenly I'll be right back there feeling trapped and scared and a
nxious. Fight or flight kicks in. There are images of it happening in my mind. I
can't control it. And that's probably minor compared to what other people with
PTSD can experience.
Genuine triggers are awful. Purposely triggering someone (people actually do tha
t) is a fucking shitty thing to do. I think tumblr has trivialised the term "tri
gger" to the point where people with PTSD don't get taken seriously because they
get lumped in with the ones who take advantage of the term.
There should be a new term for PTSD survivors. "Trigger warning" has been corrup
ted. It's too vague. Something like "flashback warning" would be better.
People with PTSD genuinely need trigger (or flashback) warnings, it's not a joke
. A bad trigger can push someone over the edge.

Fat men will generally look fine in the same clothes as skinny men, provided the
y are sized properly. Normal women's clothes will look terrible on a "plus size"
woman, because women's clothes are designed for certain body types. Men's cloth
es are more generic.

Or you could say that fat women get their specific section with clothes tailored

Old Navy carry mens' sizes in up to XXXL shirts and 48 inch waist jeans. The "pl

Plus size clothes are labeled either XXL, XXXL etc., or 1X, 2X, etc. They're sol
d in the Plus size or Missed section, but it's not like they're sold as "Plus si
ze small". Don't worry, fat women certainly aren't coddled or told they are beau
tiful by retailers.
Additionally, the clothes are usually far uglier than the cute skinny people clo

Men get a small range of sizes, and mostly terrible fitting clothing; women get
a much larger amount of sizes and two separate sections for the larger and the s
maller. Just chill out and try to see it from other perspectives besides just yo
ur own. I mean have you seen how ill-fitting clothing is for men unless they buy
specialty or get it tailored? We have S, M, L, XL, XXL, XXXL. And if you're not
one of those specific measurements that define one of the 6 main sizes, then yo
u're going to be between them and either have way too tight clothing, or way too
loose clothing. Take it from a guy who grew up constantly in-between sizes and
looking fat in everything. Oh and if you're too embarassed to shop for larger cl
othing, then you're just perpetuating "fat-shaming" and not practicing what you
preach about body pride. Don't like shopping for bigger clothes? Put in the work
to make your body smaller or get over it.

Fat men also have more variety at standard stores. I've seen Old Navy push well
into the high 40 waists.
The problem is that it's a double standard. There is an infinitely higher bias t
oward overweight women than overweight men.
Both lifestyles are unhealthy, but unless you've been a fatty you don't understa
nd the struggle it takes to get away from there.
Food is a fucker and is an easy, shitty solution to many problems. I've been gui
lty for eating my feelings, especially those times where my weight has already b
een high. It's a lot easier to grab a DQ blizzard than it is to pull yourself up
and go get help.
It's taken me almost 40 years to change my mindset into a healthy one. I fucking
loved food. It's not an easy shift, especially if you've been raised to eat unh
ealthy.
Like when I quit smoking, it had to come from inside. And one thing I can tell y
ou is alienating overweight people isn't the solution. Pretending it doesn't exi
st or basically funnelling overweight people into "fat" stores also doesn't help
. It doesn't do great things to ones self esteem to have to go out of your way a
nd shop at these kinds of stores.

I find that the problem with food obsession/binging is somewhat different to mos

around it, unless you live off an IV (can you do that?).

I didn't really want to respond, but this really bothered me. It's very narrow v
iew.
It's not always a matter of campaigning for an unhealthy lifestyle. You have to
dress for the body you have.
Shopping at a Big & Tall is a much different experience than shopping at stores
specifically targeted at plus size women (although options have improved greatly
for them over the years.) Many of thedr specialty stores have been known to cat
er towards an older demographic. The reality is there are younger women who are
plus size that want to wear the same trends their friends are wearing (prints, c
olors, silhouettes.) Just because a woman is a size 20 does not mean she only wa
nts to wear leopard prints and ruffles.
Also, keep in mind men's fashion and women's fashion are judged on different spe
ctrums. For instance, the male anchor who wore the same suit for a year.
Yes, obesity is an epidemic in America, but that doesn't mean they should be mar
ginalized.
Clothing is a fun means of expression for many people. If a person wants to patr
on a store and that store wants to cater to them what does it matter?

I never really thought about that. It sort of does show the difference in how of

as there are people who fit the big+tall category, so that'll probably never ha

EDIT: I feel like I'm working at Old Navy again.
Double Edit: I've never seen a Big and Tall store that carries pants that are 30

It's all marketing. Nothing else would match well with "women's plus" (except if
there was a "men's plus") Regardless, it's matched by pairs. "Man" and "women"
look better side by side than "man" and "women's plus".

Their responsive design is very grid based and they organized the sets into the
three pars; adults, kids, toddlers. There is no plus men's category so this sing

A Canadian is born in the midst of a long and cold winter's night, when the spir
its of Moose and Beaver are taken by Grandfather Maple to a hockey rink. If Moos
e out scores Beaver, a boy is born. If Beaver beats Moose, a girl is born. Then
Grandfather Maple takes the child to Seal Fur Woman, who teaches the child its n
ame, the Canadian national anthem, and bestows upon it a love of gravy on French
fries. After that, a worthy Canadian couple, who have proven themselves fortudi
nous by surviving the harsh winter and Stephen Harper's roaming squad of attack
kittens in sweater vests, apologized profusely for all the fuss and is allowed t
o adopt the child from Grandfather Maple.

Another possibility is that the plus size girl would fill the entirety of the fr
ame in the normal grid size, making her size easier to compare to the other grid
s, and by comparison actually appear larger than she really is.
By giving her a larger frame size, and thus more white space on each side, it co
uld have a bit of a slimming effect compared to the others.
Not sure how well all that works though here, just some design theory i pulled o
ut of my ass.

I'm no expert, but my guess is that it has something to do with women's style be
ing tighter fitting. Whereas the relatively loose fitting pants worn by men can
accommodate legs of varying widths, with only the waist and length varying great
ly, the tight fitting pants worn by women are far less versatile. It's not hard
to imagine how manufacturing clothes for women is far more costly than it is for
men. Considering this along with the greater demand among the fairer sex for st
ylish clothing, I think we arrive at at least a plausible explanation for why th
ere is a women's plus and not a men's plus.

That's not true. They tried to set up women's clothing like mens, back in the 20
s. Thing is, men are built similarly - triangle - and are able to use the waist/
length method for purchasing off the rack.
When they did the same for women, it didn't work. The difference in body shape f
or a woman who carries in her stomach versus her ass is night and day. It also d
oesn't help that men wear 2 pieces always, whereas women (especially then) wore

Well, some 3/4 of their merchandise is for women(this includes female children)
anyway, not that I really give a fuck because I mainly wear jeans and tshirts an
yway.
Would I like a few more options? Yes. Is there much of a market in that one stor
e for those options, probably not- a quick look at the closets of every female r
elative of mine shows that they each have at least 3x the amount of clothing by
volume as me, going much longer before they "cycle through". Most of them are bu
ying these clothes of their own accord, so it stands to reason that it's not as
profitable under the current system to stock as much clothing for men as women.
I'll take my long-sleeved shirts, thank you.

Well, men don't have boobs, so that helps reduce body variations.
Other than that, men generally care about the "drop" between shoulders and waist
. This can vary a lot between fat guys, skinny-fat guys, lean athletic guys, and
built guys. I'm almost at the point where even "athletic" cuts don't quite have
enough drop and look kind of billowy on me, and I'm not even built. Actually bi

Women have relative variations in circumference around their boobs, waist and hi
ps. There's also variations in hips vs leg length.
Whereas men, if they are wider or longer around one of these areas, they are gen
erally wider or longer around all three.
Generally speaking, there are exceptions.
This is not probably not enough to explain all of the size difference in terms o
f men's clothing vs women's clothing, but it's certainly a factor.

I don't really know if there's a way to quantitatively answer that question.

Anecdotally men's sizes are generally S/M/L/XL and then you add a few X's for th

Correct, many many upscale stores do not offer larger sizes for women, and imo i

. When I shopped at Walmart, they did not have women's dress slacks in my size b
ecause I was too small. Women my size don't shop at (that) Walmart often enough
to make it worth carrying a size smaller than 6. Also, they didn't sell dress sl

I don't buy dress slacks at Walmart but I had a... pants emergency.

Typical stores have 4 sizes of mens shirts (S-XL) and an assortment of pants usu
ally ranging from 28-40 waist and 30-38 inseam with an assortment of combination
s of waist/inseam with some styles that change the fit.
When you get into larger sizes they just start adding X's. I've litterally seen
"XXXXXL" printed on a tag, and I held up the shirt and it was about the size of

a bed sheet. It was right next to the M-L shirts I was shopping for, they were j
ust out of the sizes in-between.
Women don't want this setup. They don't want to see their XXXXXL equivalent next
to a XS/S/M shirt because they can see the discrepancy. They want to be guided
to their section where things fit, and see all the other clothes that are close
to the size they can fit into. It falls right into the vanity sizing mindset for
women's clothes.
I'll put it this way. Would you rather be told you're a 4XL or that you're a Rel
axed Fit Medium? Guys generally don't care, and women do. Which is why they call
it out that way.

It's frustrating that "vanity sizing" has crept over to men's clothing. It used

st to find something that fits right - and every brand is different so it's not
like you can just count on the size you got last time.
The whole point of putting numbers on the jeans was to make shopping easy! I'm a

en's clothing that are plus sizes actually fit quite differently so you can't ju

. Girls who wear plus sizes are looking for different styles as well. Women's cl

shirts and pants.

I really don't get it. I think big dudes need to lose weight just as much as I t

But on a more serious note: being overweight is bad for you. Especially later in
life. My great-aunt spent her last 15 years more or less unable to leave home.
My grandmother has hit the same problem. And now I'm worried that my mother is s
tarting to gain a lot of weight as she gets close to her 60s, and looking at wha
t she eats, it's blatantly obvious as to why. I'm not hating on my mother. But I
wish she would eat less and carry out a more healthy life-style especially beca
use she knows very well how miserable her own aunts later years were. If all thr
ee examples here were women, it's merely coincidence. My father is still thin as
a rake and still very active, as was his, and my grandfather on my mothers side
passed long ago.
If someone in our family is overweight we should try to help them, and if we are
ourselves, we should accept help offered.

When I was in treatment for my eating disorder, a "trigger" was something that t
riggered your unhealthy behavior. Like, going to the grocery store was a trigger
for me because of the laxative section. It was very difficult for me to stay aw
ay from it. Hopefully that makes sense?

When something, whether it be words, images, a person, etc... causes (triggers)
someone to re-experience a traumatic memory. Example: rape victims sometimes bec
ome incredibly anxious when their rapist enters the room, or fireworks can set o
ff flashbacks for soldiers with PTSD.
Yes, sometimes people feel uncomfortable around criticism and call it a "trigger
" to shut down conversation, but I think many triggers are legitimate. Reddit do
esn't seem to think that's the case.

It really shouldn't be socially acceptable though because it pretty much makes a

Hey, as someone with PTSD I can explain what a trigger is like for me. I can be
just going about my business and I might smell something that reminds me of the
incident, and suddenly I'll be right back there feeling trapped and scared and a
nxious. Fight or flight kicks in. There are images of it happening in my mind. I
can't control it. And that's probably minor compared to what other people with
PTSD can experience.
Genuine triggers are awful. Purposely triggering someone (people actually do tha
t) is a fucking shitty thing to do. I think tumblr has trivialised the term "tri
gger" to the point where people with PTSD don't get taken seriously because they
get lumped in with the ones who take advantage of the term.
There should be a new term for PTSD survivors. "Trigger warning" has been corrup
ted. It's too vague. Something like "flashback warning" would be better.
People with PTSD genuinely need trigger (or flashback) warnings, it's not a joke
. A bad trigger can push someone over the edge.

Men get a small range of sizes, and mostly terrible fitting clothing; women get
a much larger amount of sizes and two separate sections for the larger and the s
maller. Just chill out and try to see it from other perspectives besides just yo
ur own. I mean have you seen how ill-fitting clothing is for men unless they buy
specialty or get it tailored? We have S, M, L, XL, XXL, XXXL. And if you're not
one of those specific measurements that define one of the 6 main sizes, then yo
u're going to be between them and either have way too tight clothing, or way too
loose clothing. Take it from a guy who grew up constantly in-between sizes and
looking fat in everything. Oh and if you're too embarassed to shop for larger cl
othing, then you're just perpetuating "fat-shaming" and not practicing what you
preach about body pride. Don't like shopping for bigger clothes? Put in the work
to make your body smaller or get over it.

Fat men also have more variety at standard stores. I've seen Old Navy push well
into the high 40 waists.
The problem is that it's a double standard. There is an infinitely higher bias t
oward overweight women than overweight men.
Both lifestyles are unhealthy, but unless you've been a fatty you don't understa
nd the struggle it takes to get away from there.
Food is a fucker and is an easy, shitty solution to many problems. I've been gui
lty for eating my feelings, especially those times where my weight has already b
een high. It's a lot easier to grab a DQ blizzard than it is to pull yourself up
and go get help.
It's taken me almost 40 years to change my mindset into a healthy one. I fucking
loved food. It's not an easy shift, especially if you've been raised to eat unh
ealthy.
Like when I quit smoking, it had to come from inside. And one thing I can tell y
ou is alienating overweight people isn't the solution. Pretending it doesn't exi
st or basically funnelling overweight people into "fat" stores also doesn't help
. It doesn't do great things to ones self esteem to have to go out of your way a

I didn't really want to respond, but this really bothered me. It's very narrow v
iew.
It's not always a matter of campaigning for an unhealthy lifestyle. You have to
dress for the body you have.
Shopping at a Big & Tall is a much different experience than shopping at stores

specifically targeted at plus size women (although options have improved greatly
for them over the years.) Many of thedr specialty stores have been known to cat
er towards an older demographic. The reality is there are younger women who are
plus size that want to wear the same trends their friends are wearing (prints, c
olors, silhouettes.) Just because a woman is a size 20 does not mean she only wa
nts to wear leopard prints and ruffles.
Also, keep in mind men's fashion and women's fashion are judged on different spe
ctrums. For instance, the male anchor who wore the same suit for a year.
Yes, obesity is an epidemic in America, but that doesn't mean they should be mar
ginalized.
Clothing is a fun means of expression for many people. If a person wants to patr
on a store and that store wants to cater to them what does it matter?

instead of campaigning to normalize unhealthy lifestyles.
To be fair, while most plus sizes can be considered unhealthy, in some stores, t
he plus sizes start at a somewhat healthy weight.

I never really thought about that. It sort of does show the difference in how of
fended sexes get over their perceived size. I do wish there would be a thin+tall
store though. There probably aren't nearly as many people who fit that category
as there are people who fit the big+tall category, so that'll probably never ha
ppen. But dammit, I want more options for 30x34/30x36 pants!
EDIT: I feel like I'm working at Old Navy again.
Double Edit: I've never seen a Big and Tall store that carries pants that are 30
x34/36. I've seen >32x34, but never my size. It's always geared toward either av
erage builds that are very tall, or average sized guys that are very fat.

The weird part is, Old Navy DOES have a "Big and Tall" selection in their mens c

I think this is partially because plus sized women's clothing needs to be design

I get why plus sizes get there own category. If a big girl is checking out a sto

their size. That doesn't really explain why their category is wider on that pag
e...
Guys, look at it like this. You go to a parts web site looking for a distributor
for your '53 Hudson Hornet. Would you rather sift through all of the distributo
rs before you discover that they only carry Ford and Chevy parts? Nope, you want
to see a link to "Hudson engine parts" and get down to business. No mention of
Hudson, you go to the next site.
My wife is a big girl and she gets damn frustrated when she sees something she l
ikes, chooses a color and then finds that it isn't available in plus size.
Before you give women too much shit about "enabling an unhealthy lifestyle" you
should also understand that in the clothing industry 'plus size' does not necess
arily mean 400lb folks.

The only legitimate reason I can think of is that the majority of Old Navy custo

Their responsive design is very grid based and they organized the sets into the
three pars; adults, kids, toddlers. There is no plus men's category so this sing
le category either had to take up two grid positions or go to the bottom as a si

A Canadian is born in the midst of a long and cold winter's night, when the spir
its of Moose and Beaver are taken by Grandfather Maple to a hockey rink. If Moos
e out scores Beaver, a boy is born. If Beaver beats Moose, a girl is born. Then
Grandfather Maple takes the child to Seal Fur Woman, who teaches the child its n
ame, the Canadian national anthem, and bestows upon it a love of gravy on French
fries. After that, a worthy Canadian couple, who have proven themselves fortudi
nous by surviving the harsh winter and Stephen Harper's roaming squad of attack
kittens in sweater vests, apologized profusely for all the fuss and is allowed t
o adopt the child from Grandfather Maple.

Another possibility is that the plus size girl would fill the entirety of the fr
ame in the normal grid size, making her size easier to compare to the other grid
s, and by comparison actually appear larger than she really is.
By giving her a larger frame size, and thus more white space on each side, it co
uld have a bit of a slimming effect compared to the others.
Not sure how well all that works though here, just some design theory i pulled o

I'm no expert, but my guess is that it has something to do with women's style be
ing tighter fitting. Whereas the relatively loose fitting pants worn by men can
accommodate legs of varying widths, with only the waist and length varying great
ly, the tight fitting pants worn by women are far less versatile. It's not hard
to imagine how manufacturing clothes for women is far more costly than it is for
men. Considering this along with the greater demand among the fairer sex for st
ylish clothing, I think we arrive at at least a plausible explanation for why th
ere is a women's plus and not a men's plus.

That's not true. They tried to set up women's clothing like mens, back in the 20
s. Thing is, men are built similarly - triangle - and are able to use the waist/
length method for purchasing off the rack.
When they did the same for women, it didn't work. The difference in body shape f
or a woman who carries in her stomach versus her ass is night and day. It also d
oesn't help that men wear 2 pieces always, whereas women (especially then) wore
a lot of dresses.
But it doesn't have to do with "getting away with" - they did try to standardize
the women's size.

Well, some 3/4 of their merchandise is for women(this includes female children)
anyway, not that I really give a fuck because I mainly wear jeans and tshirts an

Would I like a few more options? Yes. Is there much of a market in that one stor
e for those options, probably not- a quick look at the closets of every female r
elative of mine shows that they each have at least 3x the amount of clothing by
volume as me, going much longer before they "cycle through". Most of them are bu
ying these clothes of their own accord, so it stands to reason that it's not as
profitable under the current system to stock as much clothing for men as women.

of their excess weight (through diet snd exercise - aka the healthy, progressive
way) are 55-65% less likely to experience depression symptoms; 80-92% reported
overall quality of life improvements that they called very significant.
Probably common sense, but hearing those numbers may act as a motivator for you!

Well, men don't have boobs, so that helps reduce body variations.
Other than that, men generally care about the "drop" between shoulders and waist
. This can vary a lot between fat guys, skinny-fat guys, lean athletic guys, and
built guys. I'm almost at the point where even "athletic" cuts don't quite have
enough drop and look kind of billowy on me, and I'm not even built. Actually bi
g dudes need to get almost everything tailored so it doesn't look like you're we
aring a garbage bag.

Women have relative variations in circumference around their boobs, waist and hi
ps. There's also variations in hips vs leg length.
Whereas men, if they are wider or longer around one of these areas, they are gen
erally wider or longer around all three.
Generally speaking, there are exceptions.
This is not probably not enough to explain all of the size difference in terms o
f men's clothing vs women's clothing, but it's certainly a factor.

I don't really know if there's a way to quantitatively answer that question.
Maybe standard deviation of men's waist/inseam/whatever vs. women's. But I don't

Anecdotally men's sizes are generally S/M/L/XL and then you add a few X's for th
e really big dudes. Whereas I doubt that any two girls who both wear a size 4 dr

Correct, many many upscale stores do not offer larger sizes for women, and imo i
t's a financial decision on their part, nothing more. It works the other way too
. When I shopped at Walmart, they did not have women's dress slacks in my size b
ecause I was too small. Women my size don't shop at (that) Walmart often enough
to make it worth carrying a size smaller than 6. Also, they didn't sell dress sl
acks for little girls, so I had to purchase little boy's dress slacks. Normally
I don't buy dress slacks at Walmart but I had a... pants emergency.

6'8" chubby guy here. Mens sections RARELY have over XL size shirts, and they NE

feet too wide, BUT have the length for the shirt to cover my freaking stomach,
OR go with a nicer-fitting 2XL and look like a belly-dancer.
It doesn't matter overall though, because 99% of stores, as I said, don't go ove

And don't you even fucking get me started on shoes.. the pair I have right now h

Typical stores have 4 sizes of mens shirts (S-XL) and an assortment of pants usu
ally ranging from 28-40 waist and 30-38 inseam with an assortment of combination
s of waist/inseam with some styles that change the fit.
When you get into larger sizes they just start adding X's. I've litterally seen
"XXXXXL" printed on a tag, and I held up the shirt and it was about the size of
a bed sheet. It was right next to the M-L shirts I was shopping for, they were j
ust out of the sizes in-between.
Women don't want this setup. They don't want to see their XXXXXL equivalent next
to a XS/S/M shirt because they can see the discrepancy. They want to be guided
to their section where things fit, and see all the other clothes that are close
to the size they can fit into. It falls right into the vanity sizing mindset for
women's clothes.
I'll put it this way. Would you rather be told you're a 4XL or that you're a Rel
axed Fit Medium? Guys generally don't care, and women do. Which is why they call
it out that way.

It's frustrating that "vanity sizing" has crept over to men's clothing. It used

size, I could pick out a pair without even having to try it on. Now, I have to g
o to the fitting room with tower of jeans ranging in size from 28x30 to 34x32 ju
st to find something that fits right - and every brand is different so it's not
like you can just count on the size you got last time.
The whole point of putting numbers on the jeans was to make shopping easy! I'm a
man. I don't care if my clothes literally call me a fat ass while I put them on
if it means I can be in and out of the store in five minutes!

en's clothing that are plus sizes actually fit quite differently so you can't ju

I really don't get it. I think big dudes need to lose weight just as much as I t

But on a more serious note: being overweight is bad for you. Especially later in
life. My great-aunt spent her last 15 years more or less unable to leave home.

My grandmother has hit the same problem. And now I'm worried that my mother is s
tarting to gain a lot of weight as she gets close to her 60s, and looking at wha
t she eats, it's blatantly obvious as to why. I'm not hating on my mother. But I
wish she would eat less and carry out a more healthy life-style especially beca
use she knows very well how miserable her own aunts later years were. If all thr
ee examples here were women, it's merely coincidence. My father is still thin as
a rake and still very active, as was his, and my grandfather on my mothers side
passed long ago.
If someone in our family is overweight we should try to help them, and if we are
ourselves, we should accept help offered.

Hey, as someone with PTSD I can explain what a trigger is like for me. I can be
just going about my business and I might smell something that reminds me of the
incident, and suddenly I'll be right back there feeling trapped and scared and a
nxious. Fight or flight kicks in. There are images of it happening in my mind. I
can't control it. And that's probably minor compared to what other people with
PTSD can experience.
Genuine triggers are awful. Purposely triggering someone (people actually do tha
t) is a fucking shitty thing to do. I think tumblr has trivialised the term "tri
gger" to the point where people with PTSD don't get taken seriously because they
get lumped in with the ones who take advantage of the term.
There should be a new term for PTSD survivors. "Trigger warning" has been corrup
ted. It's too vague. Something like "flashback warning" would be better.
People with PTSD genuinely need trigger (or flashback) warnings, it's not a joke
. A bad trigger can push someone over the edge.

Men get a small range of sizes, and mostly terrible fitting clothing; women get
a much larger amount of sizes and two separate sections for the larger and the s
maller. Just chill out and try to see it from other perspectives besides just yo
ur own. I mean have you seen how ill-fitting clothing is for men unless they buy
specialty or get it tailored? We have S, M, L, XL, XXL, XXXL. And if you're not
one of those specific measurements that define one of the 6 main sizes, then yo
u're going to be between them and either have way too tight clothing, or way too
loose clothing. Take it from a guy who grew up constantly in-between sizes and
looking fat in everything. Oh and if you're too embarassed to shop for larger cl
othing, then you're just perpetuating "fat-shaming" and not practicing what you
preach about body pride. Don't like shopping for bigger clothes? Put in the work
to make your body smaller or get over it.

Fat men also have more variety at standard stores. I've seen Old Navy push well
into the high 40 waists.
The problem is that it's a double standard. There is an infinitely higher bias t
oward overweight women than overweight men.
Both lifestyles are unhealthy, but unless you've been a fatty you don't understa
nd the struggle it takes to get away from there.
Food is a fucker and is an easy, shitty solution to many problems. I've been gui
lty for eating my feelings, especially those times where my weight has already b
een high. It's a lot easier to grab a DQ blizzard than it is to pull yourself up
and go get help.
It's taken me almost 40 years to change my mindset into a healthy one. I fucking
loved food. It's not an easy shift, especially if you've been raised to eat unh
ealthy.
Like when I quit smoking, it had to come from inside. And one thing I can tell y
ou is alienating overweight people isn't the solution. Pretending it doesn't exi
st or basically funnelling overweight people into "fat" stores also doesn't help
. It doesn't do great things to ones self esteem to have to go out of your way a
nd shop at these kinds of stores.

I find that the problem with food obsession/binging is somewhat different to mos

I didn't really want to respond, but this really bothered me. It's very narrow v

It's not always a matter of campaigning for an unhealthy lifestyle. You have to
dress for the body you have.
Shopping at a Big & Tall is a much different experience than shopping at stores
specifically targeted at plus size women (although options have improved greatly
for them over the years.) Many of thedr specialty stores have been known to cat
er towards an older demographic. The reality is there are younger women who are
plus size that want to wear the same trends their friends are wearing (prints, c
olors, silhouettes.) Just because a woman is a size 20 does not mean she only wa
nts to wear leopard prints and ruffles.
Also, keep in mind men's fashion and women's fashion are judged on different spe
ctrums. For instance, the male anchor who wore the same suit for a year.
Yes, obesity is an epidemic in America, but that doesn't mean they should be mar
ginalized.
Clothing is a fun means of expression for many people. If a person wants to patr
on a store and that store wants to cater to them what does it matter?

I don't see how you could argue it is MORE of a euphemism.
Plus size seems like more of a euphemism than big. And tall isn't a substitution
for anything, unless you would prefer they use the term "lamppost" to make sure
they aren't overusing euphemisms.

The weird part is, Old Navy DOES have a "Big and Tall" selection in their mens c
lothing, but you don't really see it until you click on the item you want to buy
.
But the womens stuff is separated out as a whole new category of "Womens Plus"
permalink
[ ]queenbrewer 21 points 5 hours ago
I think this is partially because plus sized women's clothing needs to be design
ed more differently than plus sized men's clothing, which usually is just larger
cuts of the same styles.

Yeah, most plus size models are heavy compared to regular models, but very propo

don't usually look like that.
permalinkparent

Plus models are typically 6 foot size 12's. That's in no way obese. Indeed, tall
women wearing the lower end of plus sizes aren't likely to be obese.

I get why plus sizes get there own category. If a big girl is checking out a sto
re for the first time, they want to know quickly if they might have something in
their size. That doesn't really explain why their category is wider on that pag
e...
Guys, look at it like this. You go to a parts web site looking for a distributor
for your '53 Hudson Hornet. Would you rather sift through all of the distributo
rs before you discover that they only carry Ford and Chevy parts? Nope, you want
to see a link to "Hudson engine parts" and get down to business. No mention of
Hudson, you go to the next site.
My wife is a big girl and she gets damn frustrated when she sees something she l

ikes, chooses a color and then finds that it isn't available in plus size.
Before you give women too much shit about "enabling an unhealthy lifestyle" you
should also understand that in the clothing industry 'plus size' does not necess
arily mean 400lb folks.

The only legitimate reason I can think of is that the majority of Old Navy custo
mers are plus sized women. Whenever we get a shipment of a product, there are al
most double the amount of larger sizes. Maybe they were trying to give more obvi
ous access to clothing for their (literally) biggest consumer. Gap Inc is usuall
y very literal with their advertisment (eg. Gap toothed women as models for a lo

It's all marketing. Nothing else would match well with "women's plus" (except if

Their responsive design is very grid based and they organized the sets into the

A Canadian is born in the midst of a long and cold winter's night, when the spir

Grandfather Maple takes the child to Seal Fur Woman, who teaches the child its n

Another possibility is that the plus size girl would fill the entirety of the fr
ame in the normal grid size, making her size easier to compare to the other grid
s, and by comparison actually appear larger than she really is.
By giving her a larger frame size, and thus more white space on each side, it co
uld have a bit of a slimming effect compared to the others.
Not sure how well all that works though here, just some design theory i pulled o

I'm no expert, but my guess is that it has something to do with women's style be
ing tighter fitting. Whereas the relatively loose fitting pants worn by men can
accommodate legs of varying widths, with only the waist and length varying great
ly, the tight fitting pants worn by women are far less versatile. It's not hard
to imagine how manufacturing clothes for women is far more costly than it is for
men. Considering this along with the greater demand among the fairer sex for st
ylish clothing, I think we arrive at at least a plausible explanation for why th
ere is a women's plus and not a men's plus.

That's not true. They tried to set up women's clothing like mens, back in the 20
s. Thing is, men are built similarly - triangle - and are able to use the waist/
length method for purchasing off the rack.
When they did the same for women, it didn't work. The difference in body shape f
or a woman who carries in her stomach versus her ass is night and day. It also d
oesn't help that men wear 2 pieces always, whereas women (especially then) wore
a lot of dresses.
But it doesn't have to do with "getting away with" - they did try to standardize
the women's size.

Well, some 3/4 of their merchandise is for women(this includes female children)
anyway, not that I really give a fuck because I mainly wear jeans and tshirts an

Would I like a few more options? Yes. Is there much of a market in that one stor
e for those options, probably not- a quick look at the closets of every female r
elative of mine shows that they each have at least 3x the amount of clothing by
volume as me, going much longer before they "cycle through". Most of them are bu
ying these clothes of their own accord, so it stands to reason that it's not as
profitable under the current system to stock as much clothing for men as women.

Well, men don't have boobs, so that helps reduce body variations.
Other than that, men generally care about the "drop" between shoulders and waist

built guys. I'm almost at the point where even "athletic" cuts don't quite have
enough drop and look kind of billowy on me, and I'm not even built. Actually bi

Women have relative variations in circumference around their boobs, waist and hi
ps. There's also variations in hips vs leg length.
Whereas men, if they are wider or longer around one of these areas, they are gen
erally wider or longer around all three.
Generally speaking, there are exceptions.
This is not probably not enough to explain all of the size difference in terms o

Anecdotally men's sizes are generally S/M/L/XL and then you add a few X's for th

ecause I was too small. Women my size don't shop at (that) Walmart often enough

to make it worth carrying a size smaller than 6. Also, they didn't sell dress sl

Typical stores have 4 sizes of mens shirts (S-XL) and an assortment of pants usu
ally ranging from 28-40 waist and 30-38 inseam with an assortment of combination
s of waist/inseam with some styles that change the fit.
When you get into larger sizes they just start adding X's. I've litterally seen
"XXXXXL" printed on a tag, and I held up the shirt and it was about the size of
a bed sheet. It was right next to the M-L shirts I was shopping for, they were j
ust out of the sizes in-between.
Women don't want this setup. They don't want to see their XXXXXL equivalent next
to a XS/S/M shirt because they can see the discrepancy. They want to be guided
to their section where things fit, and see all the other clothes that are close
to the size they can fit into. It falls right into the vanity sizing mindset for
women's clothes.
I'll put it this way. Would you rather be told you're a 4XL or that you're a Rel
axed Fit Medium? Guys generally don't care, and women do. Which is why they call
it out that way.

It's frustrating that "vanity sizing" has crept over to men's clothing. It used
to be so easy to find a pair of pants that fit. Once I knew my inseam and waist
size, I could pick out a pair without even having to try it on. Now, I have to g
o to the fitting room with tower of jeans ranging in size from 28x30 to 34x32 ju
st to find something that fits right - and every brand is different so it's not
like you can just count on the size you got last time.
The whole point of putting numbers on the jeans was to make shopping easy! I'm a
man. I don't care if my clothes literally call me a fat ass while I put them on
if it means I can be in and out of the store in five minutes!

I used to be a buyer in women's fashion so I can explain this quite easily. Ther

l medium and large for the most part because it's cheaper to produce them that w
ay. By adding in another size you're adding a huge amount of inventory. Also wom
en's clothing that are plus sizes actually fit quite differently so you can't ju
st get the same style and add a few inches here and there and hope it looks good
. Girls who wear plus sizes are looking for different styles as well. Women's cl
othing have much more variety in styles where as men's sections are pretty much
shirts and pants.

I really don't get it. I think big dudes need to lose weight just as much as I t
hink big women do. I suppose I discriminate equally.
But on a more serious note: being overweight is bad for you. Especially later in
life. My great-aunt spent her last 15 years more or less unable to leave home.
My grandmother has hit the same problem. And now I'm worried that my mother is s
tarting to gain a lot of weight as she gets close to her 60s, and looking at wha
t she eats, it's blatantly obvious as to why. I'm not hating on my mother. But I
wish she would eat less and carry out a more healthy life-style especially beca
use she knows very well how miserable her own aunts later years were. If all thr
ee examples here were women, it's merely coincidence. My father is still thin as
a rake and still very active, as was his, and my grandfather on my mothers side
passed long ago.
If someone in our family is overweight we should try to help them, and if we are
ourselves, we should accept help offered.

When I was in treatment for my eating disorder, a "trigger" was something that t

When something, whether it be words, images, a person, etc... causes (triggers)
someone to re-experience a traumatic memory. Example: rape victims sometimes bec

ff flashbacks for soldiers with PTSD.
Yes, sometimes people feel uncomfortable around criticism and call it a "trigger

Hey, as someone with PTSD I can explain what a trigger is like for me. I can be
just going about my business and I might smell something that reminds me of the
incident, and suddenly I'll be right back there feeling trapped and scared and a
nxious. Fight or flight kicks in. There are images of it happening in my mind. I
can't control it. And that's probably minor compared to what other people with
PTSD can experience.
Genuine triggers are awful. Purposely triggering someone (people actually do tha
t) is a fucking shitty thing to do. I think tumblr has trivialised the term "tri
gger" to the point where people with PTSD don't get taken seriously because they
get lumped in with the ones who take advantage of the term.
There should be a new term for PTSD survivors. "Trigger warning" has been corrup
ted. It's too vague. Something like "flashback warning" would be better.
People with PTSD genuinely need trigger (or flashback) warnings, it's not a joke
. A bad trigger can push someone over the edge.

The plus size section sizes in XXL, XXXL etc., or 1X, 2X, etc. It's not "normali

off to the back section of the store where the clothes are uglier and the choice

Fat men will generally look fine in the same clothes as skinny men, provided the

woman, because women's clothes are designed for certain body types. Men's cloth

Plus size clothes are labeled either XXL, XXXL etc., or 1X, 2X, etc. They're sol

Men get a small range of sizes, and mostly terrible fitting clothing; women get

a much larger amount of sizes and two separate sections for the larger and the s
maller. Just chill out and try to see it from other perspectives besides just yo
ur own. I mean have you seen how ill-fitting clothing is for men unless they buy
specialty or get it tailored? We have S, M, L, XL, XXL, XXXL. And if you're not
one of those specific measurements that define one of the 6 main sizes, then yo
u're going to be between them and either have way too tight clothing, or way too
loose clothing. Take it from a guy who grew up constantly in-between sizes and
looking fat in everything. Oh and if you're too embarassed to shop for larger cl
othing, then you're just perpetuating "fat-shaming" and not practicing what you
preach about body pride. Don't like shopping for bigger clothes? Put in the work
to make your body smaller or get over it.

Fat men also have more variety at standard stores. I've seen Old Navy push well
into the high 40 waists.
The problem is that it's a double standard. There is an infinitely higher bias t
oward overweight women than overweight men.
Both lifestyles are unhealthy, but unless you've been a fatty you don't understa
nd the struggle it takes to get away from there.
Food is a fucker and is an easy, shitty solution to many problems. I've been gui
lty for eating my feelings, especially those times where my weight has already b
een high. It's a lot easier to grab a DQ blizzard than it is to pull yourself up
and go get help.
It's taken me almost 40 years to change my mindset into a healthy one. I fucking
loved food. It's not an easy shift, especially if you've been raised to eat unh
ealthy.
Like when I quit smoking, it had to come from inside. And one thing I can tell y
ou is alienating overweight people isn't the solution. Pretending it doesn't exi
st or basically funnelling overweight people into "fat" stores also doesn't help
. It doesn't do great things to ones self esteem to have to go out of your way a
nd shop at these kinds of stores.

I find that the problem with food obsession/binging is somewhat different to mos

around it, unless you live off an IV (can you do that?).

I didn't really want to respond, but this really bothered me. It's very narrow v
iew.
It's not always a matter of campaigning for an unhealthy lifestyle. You have to
dress for the body you have.
Shopping at a Big & Tall is a much different experience than shopping at stores
specifically targeted at plus size women (although options have improved greatly
for them over the years.) Many of thedr specialty stores have been known to cat
er towards an older demographic. The reality is there are younger women who are
plus size that want to wear the same trends their friends are wearing (prints, c
olors, silhouettes.) Just because a woman is a size 20 does not mean she only wa
nts to wear leopard prints and ruffles.
Also, keep in mind men's fashion and women's fashion are judged on different spe
ctrums. For instance, the male anchor who wore the same suit for a year.
Yes, obesity is an epidemic in America, but that doesn't mean they should be mar
ginalized.
Clothing is a fun means of expression for many people. If a person wants to patr
on a store and that store wants to cater to them what does it matter?

I never really thought about that. It sort of does show the difference in how of

Double Edit: I've never seen a Big and Tall store that carries pants that are 30

The only legitimate reason I can think of is that the majority of Old Navy custo
mers are plus sized women. Whenever we get a shipment of a product, there are al
most double the amount of larger sizes. Maybe they were trying to give more obvi
ous access to clothing for their (literally) biggest consumer. Gap Inc is usuall
y very literal with their advertisment (eg. Gap toothed women as models for a lo
t of their posters)

It's all marketing. Nothing else would match well with "women's plus" (except if

look better side by side than "man" and "women's plus".

Their responsive design is very grid based and they organized the sets into the
three pars; adults, kids, toddlers. There is no plus men's category so this sing

A Canadian is born in the midst of a long and cold winter's night, when the spir
its of Moose and Beaver are taken by Grandfather Maple to a hockey rink. If Moos
e out scores Beaver, a boy is born. If Beaver beats Moose, a girl is born. Then
Grandfather Maple takes the child to Seal Fur Woman, who teaches the child its n
ame, the Canadian national anthem, and bestows upon it a love of gravy on French
fries. After that, a worthy Canadian couple, who have proven themselves fortudi
nous by surviving the harsh winter and Stephen Harper's roaming squad of attack
kittens in sweater vests, apologized profusely for all the fuss and is allowed t
o adopt the child from Grandfather Maple.

Another possibility is that the plus size girl would fill the entirety of the fr
ame in the normal grid size, making her size easier to compare to the other grid
s, and by comparison actually appear larger than she really is.
By giving her a larger frame size, and thus more white space on each side, it co
uld have a bit of a slimming effect compared to the others.
Not sure how well all that works though here, just some design theory i pulled o
ut of my ass.

I'm no expert, but my guess is that it has something to do with women's style be
ing tighter fitting. Whereas the relatively loose fitting pants worn by men can
accommodate legs of varying widths, with only the waist and length varying great
ly, the tight fitting pants worn by women are far less versatile. It's not hard
to imagine how manufacturing clothes for women is far more costly than it is for
men. Considering this along with the greater demand among the fairer sex for st
ylish clothing, I think we arrive at at least a plausible explanation for why th
ere is a women's plus and not a men's plus.

That's not true. They tried to set up women's clothing like mens, back in the 20
s. Thing is, men are built similarly - triangle - and are able to use the waist/
length method for purchasing off the rack.
When they did the same for women, it didn't work. The difference in body shape f
or a woman who carries in her stomach versus her ass is night and day. It also d
oesn't help that men wear 2 pieces always, whereas women (especially then) wore
a lot of dresses.
But it doesn't have to do with "getting away with" - they did try to standardize
the women's size.

Well, some 3/4 of their merchandise is for women(this includes female children)
anyway, not that I really give a fuck because I mainly wear jeans and tshirts an

Would I like a few more options? Yes. Is there much of a market in that one stor
e for those options, probably not- a quick look at the closets of every female r
elative of mine shows that they each have at least 3x the amount of clothing by
volume as me, going much longer before they "cycle through". Most of them are bu
ying these clothes of their own accord, so it stands to reason that it's not as
profitable under the current system to stock as much clothing for men as women.

Well, men don't have boobs, so that helps reduce body variations.
Other than that, men generally care about the "drop" between shoulders and waist

built guys. I'm almost at the point where even "athletic" cuts don't quite have
enough drop and look kind of billowy on me, and I'm not even built. Actually bi

Women have relative variations in circumference around their boobs, waist and hi
ps. There's also variations in hips vs leg length.
Whereas men, if they are wider or longer around one of these areas, they are gen
erally wider or longer around all three.
Generally speaking, there are exceptions.
This is not probably not enough to explain all of the size difference in terms o
f men's clothing vs women's clothing, but it's certainly a factor.

Anecdotally men's sizes are generally S/M/L/XL and then you add a few X's for th

Typical stores have 4 sizes of mens shirts (S-XL) and an assortment of pants usu
ally ranging from 28-40 waist and 30-38 inseam with an assortment of combination
s of waist/inseam with some styles that change the fit.
When you get into larger sizes they just start adding X's. I've litterally seen
"XXXXXL" printed on a tag, and I held up the shirt and it was about the size of
a bed sheet. It was right next to the M-L shirts I was shopping for, they were j
ust out of the sizes in-between.
Women don't want this setup. They don't want to see their XXXXXL equivalent next
to a XS/S/M shirt because they can see the discrepancy. They want to be guided
to their section where things fit, and see all the other clothes that are close
to the size they can fit into. It falls right into the vanity sizing mindset for

women's clothes.
I'll put it this way. Would you rather be told you're a 4XL or that you're a Rel
axed Fit Medium? Guys generally don't care, and women do. Which is why they call
it out that way.

It's frustrating that "vanity sizing" has crept over to men's clothing. It used

like you can just count on the size you got last time.
The whole point of putting numbers on the jeans was to make shopping easy! I'm a

I used to be a buyer in women's fashion so I can explain this quite easily. Ther
e is no agenda to make females feel bad. You are our customers we want you to fe
el good. Other than that woman's fashion companies produce clothing in only smal
l medium and large for the most part because it's cheaper to produce them that w
ay. By adding in another size you're adding a huge amount of inventory. Also wom
en's clothing that are plus sizes actually fit quite differently so you can't ju
st get the same style and add a few inches here and there and hope it looks good
. Girls who wear plus sizes are looking for different styles as well. Women's cl
othing have much more variety in styles where as men's sections are pretty much
shirts and pants.

I really don't get it. I think big dudes need to lose weight just as much as I t
hink big women do. I suppose I discriminate equally.
But on a more serious note: being overweight is bad for you. Especially later in
life. My great-aunt spent her last 15 years more or less unable to leave home.
My grandmother has hit the same problem. And now I'm worried that my mother is s
tarting to gain a lot of weight as she gets close to her 60s, and looking at wha
t she eats, it's blatantly obvious as to why. I'm not hating on my mother. But I
wish she would eat less and carry out a more healthy life-style especially beca
use she knows very well how miserable her own aunts later years were. If all thr
ee examples here were women, it's merely coincidence. My father is still thin as
a rake and still very active, as was his, and my grandfather on my mothers side
passed long ago.
If someone in our family is overweight we should try to help them, and if we are
ourselves, we should accept help offered.

Sure. Triggers in real life are things that can trigger a negative flashback or

words or things can trigger them to have a panic attack. It really just boils d

When I was in treatment for my eating disorder, a "trigger" was something that t

for me because of the laxative section. It was very difficult for me to stay aw

When something, whether it be words, images, a person, etc... causes (triggers)
someone to re-experience a traumatic memory. Example: rape victims sometimes bec
ome incredibly anxious when their rapist enters the room, or fireworks can set o
ff flashbacks for soldiers with PTSD.
Yes, sometimes people feel uncomfortable around criticism and call it a "trigger
" to shut down conversation, but I think many triggers are legitimate. Reddit do
esn't seem to think that's the case.

Hey, as someone with PTSD I can explain what a trigger is like for me. I can be
just going about my business and I might smell something that reminds me of the
incident, and suddenly I'll be right back there feeling trapped and scared and a
nxious. Fight or flight kicks in. There are images of it happening in my mind. I
can't control it. And that's probably minor compared to what other people with
PTSD can experience.
Genuine triggers are awful. Purposely triggering someone (people actually do tha
t) is a fucking shitty thing to do. I think tumblr has trivialised the term "tri
gger" to the point where people with PTSD don't get taken seriously because they
get lumped in with the ones who take advantage of the term.
There should be a new term for PTSD survivors. "Trigger warning" has been corrup
ted. It's too vague. Something like "flashback warning" would be better.
People with PTSD genuinely need trigger (or flashback) warnings, it's not a joke
. A bad trigger can push someone over the edge.

Plus size clothes are labeled either XXL, XXXL etc., or 1X, 2X, etc. They're sol
d in the Plus size or Missed section, but it's not like they're sold as "Plus si
ze small". Don't worry, fat women certainly aren't coddled or told they are beau
tiful by retailers.
Additionally, the clothes are usually far uglier than the cute skinny people clo
thes over in the next section. "Dear fat women, we know you hate how you look, s

It doesn't sound right because you just made a straw man out of my statement. Ev

large to fit into normal clothes". "Busty", "curvy", "full-figured", etc.

Men get a small range of sizes, and mostly terrible fitting clothing; women get
a much larger amount of sizes and two separate sections for the larger and the s
maller. Just chill out and try to see it from other perspectives besides just yo
ur own. I mean have you seen how ill-fitting clothing is for men unless they buy
specialty or get it tailored? We have S, M, L, XL, XXL, XXXL. And if you're not
one of those specific measurements that define one of the 6 main sizes, then yo
u're going to be between them and either have way too tight clothing, or way too
loose clothing. Take it from a guy who grew up constantly in-between sizes and
looking fat in everything. Oh and if you're too embarassed to shop for larger cl
othing, then you're just perpetuating "fat-shaming" and not practicing what you
preach about body pride. Don't like shopping for bigger clothes? Put in the work
to make your body smaller or get over it.

Fat men also have more variety at standard stores. I've seen Old Navy push well
into the high 40 waists.

The problem is that it's a double standard. There is an infinitely higher bias t
oward overweight women than overweight men.
Both lifestyles are unhealthy, but unless you've been a fatty you don't understa
nd the struggle it takes to get away from there.
Food is a fucker and is an easy, shitty solution to many problems. I've been gui
lty for eating my feelings, especially those times where my weight has already b
een high. It's a lot easier to grab a DQ blizzard than it is to pull yourself up
and go get help.
It's taken me almost 40 years to change my mindset into a healthy one. I fucking
loved food. It's not an easy shift, especially if you've been raised to eat unh
ealthy.
Like when I quit smoking, it had to come from inside. And one thing I can tell y
ou is alienating overweight people isn't the solution. Pretending it doesn't exi
st or basically funnelling overweight people into "fat" stores also doesn't help
. It doesn't do great things to ones self esteem to have to go out of your way a
nd shop at these kinds of stores.

I find that the problem with food obsession/binging is somewhat different to mos

. You don't need it. Same with other drugs. But you need to eat. There's no way
around it, unless you live off an IV (can you do that?).

I didn't really want to respond, but this really bothered me. It's very narrow v

It's not always a matter of campaigning for an unhealthy lifestyle. You have to
dress for the body you have.
Shopping at a Big & Tall is a much different experience than shopping at stores
specifically targeted at plus size women (although options have improved greatly
for them over the years.) Many of thedr specialty stores have been known to cat
er towards an older demographic. The reality is there are younger women who are
plus size that want to wear the same trends their friends are wearing (prints, c
olors, silhouettes.) Just because a woman is a size 20 does not mean she only wa
nts to wear leopard prints and ruffles.

Also, keep in mind men's fashion and women's fashion are judged on different spe
ctrums. For instance, the male anchor who wore the same suit for a year.
Yes, obesity is an epidemic in America, but that doesn't mean they should be mar
ginalized.
Clothing is a fun means of expression for many people. If a person wants to patr
on a store and that store wants to cater to them what does it matter?

I never really thought about that. It sort of does show the difference in how of

as there are people who fit the big+tall category, so that'll probably never ha

EDIT: I feel like I'm working at Old Navy again.
Double Edit: I've never seen a Big and Tall store that carries pants that are 30

It's all marketing. Nothing else would match well with "women's plus" (except if
there was a "men's plus") Regardless, it's matched by pairs. "Man" and "women"
look better side by side than "man" and "women's plus".

Their responsive design is very grid based and they organized the sets into the
three pars; adults, kids, toddlers. There is no plus men's category so this sing

A Canadian is born in the midst of a long and cold winter's night, when the spir
its of Moose and Beaver are taken by Grandfather Maple to a hockey rink. If Moos
e out scores Beaver, a boy is born. If Beaver beats Moose, a girl is born. Then

Grandfather Maple takes the child to Seal Fur Woman, who teaches the child its n
ame, the Canadian national anthem, and bestows upon it a love of gravy on French
fries. After that, a worthy Canadian couple, who have proven themselves fortudi
nous by surviving the harsh winter and Stephen Harper's roaming squad of attack
kittens in sweater vests, apologized profusely for all the fuss and is allowed t
o adopt the child from Grandfather Maple.

Another possibility is that the plus size girl would fill the entirety of the fr
ame in the normal grid size, making her size easier to compare to the other grid
s, and by comparison actually appear larger than she really is.
By giving her a larger frame size, and thus more white space on each side, it co
uld have a bit of a slimming effect compared to the others.
Not sure how well all that works though here, just some design theory i pulled o

I'm no expert, but my guess is that it has something to do with women's style be
ing tighter fitting. Whereas the relatively loose fitting pants worn by men can
accommodate legs of varying widths, with only the waist and length varying great
ly, the tight fitting pants worn by women are far less versatile. It's not hard
to imagine how manufacturing clothes for women is far more costly than it is for
men. Considering this along with the greater demand among the fairer sex for st
ylish clothing, I think we arrive at at least a plausible explanation for why th
ere is a women's plus and not a men's plus.

That's not true. They tried to set up women's clothing like mens, back in the 20
s. Thing is, men are built similarly - triangle - and are able to use the waist/
length method for purchasing off the rack.
When they did the same for women, it didn't work. The difference in body shape f
or a woman who carries in her stomach versus her ass is night and day. It also d
oesn't help that men wear 2 pieces always, whereas women (especially then) wore
a lot of dresses.
But it doesn't have to do with "getting away with" - they did try to standardize
the women's size.

Well, some 3/4 of their merchandise is for women(this includes female children)
anyway, not that I really give a fuck because I mainly wear jeans and tshirts an
yway.
Would I like a few more options? Yes. Is there much of a market in that one stor
e for those options, probably not- a quick look at the closets of every female r
elative of mine shows that they each have at least 3x the amount of clothing by
volume as me, going much longer before they "cycle through". Most of them are bu
ying these clothes of their own accord, so it stands to reason that it's not as
profitable under the current system to stock as much clothing for men as women.

I make ON promo emails and they usually make W doublewide since it gets the most

However in this case, it looks like this was based off the same layout as the US

to disturb the layout for the canada version too much so just made WP doublewid
e.

This is the Canadian site apparently. The US version has maternity next to women

of their excess weight (through diet snd exercise - aka the healthy, progressive
way) are 55-65% less likely to experience depression symptoms; 80-92% reported
overall quality of life improvements that they called very significant.

Well, men don't have boobs, so that helps reduce body variations.
Other than that, men generally care about the "drop" between shoulders and waist
. This can vary a lot between fat guys, skinny-fat guys, lean athletic guys, and
built guys. I'm almost at the point where even "athletic" cuts don't quite have
enough drop and look kind of billowy on me, and I'm not even built. Actually bi
g dudes need to get almost everything tailored so it doesn't look like you're we
aring a garbage bag.

Women have relative variations in circumference around their boobs, waist and hi
ps. There's also variations in hips vs leg length.
Whereas men, if they are wider or longer around one of these areas, they are gen
erally wider or longer around all three.
Generally speaking, there are exceptions.
This is not probably not enough to explain all of the size difference in terms o
f men's clothing vs women's clothing, but it's certainly a factor.

I don't really know if there's a way to quantitatively answer that question.
Maybe standard deviation of men's waist/inseam/whatever vs. women's. But I don't

Anecdotally men's sizes are generally S/M/L/XL and then you add a few X's for th
e really big dudes. Whereas I doubt that any two girls who both wear a size 4 dr

Correct, many many upscale stores do not offer larger sizes for women, and imo i

. When I shopped at Walmart, they did not have women's dress slacks in my size b
ecause I was too small. Women my size don't shop at (that) Walmart often enough
to make it worth carrying a size smaller than 6. Also, they didn't sell dress sl
acks for little girls, so I had to purchase little boy's dress slacks. Normally
I don't buy dress slacks at Walmart but I had a... pants emergency.

That basically is why there are separate garments in each section. There are som

6'8" chubby guy here. Mens sections RARELY have over XL size shirts, and they NE

feet too wide, BUT have the length for the shirt to cover my freaking stomach,
OR go with a nicer-fitting 2XL and look like a belly-dancer.
It doesn't matter overall though, because 99% of stores, as I said, don't go ove

And don't you even fucking get me started on shoes.. the pair I have right now h

Typical stores have 4 sizes of mens shirts (S-XL) and an assortment of pants usu
ally ranging from 28-40 waist and 30-38 inseam with an assortment of combination
s of waist/inseam with some styles that change the fit.
When you get into larger sizes they just start adding X's. I've litterally seen
"XXXXXL" printed on a tag, and I held up the shirt and it was about the size of
a bed sheet. It was right next to the M-L shirts I was shopping for, they were j
ust out of the sizes in-between.
Women don't want this setup. They don't want to see their XXXXXL equivalent next
to a XS/S/M shirt because they can see the discrepancy. They want to be guided
to their section where things fit, and see all the other clothes that are close
to the size they can fit into. It falls right into the vanity sizing mindset for
women's clothes.
I'll put it this way. Would you rather be told you're a 4XL or that you're a Rel
axed Fit Medium? Guys generally don't care, and women do. Which is why they call
it out that way.

It's frustrating that "vanity sizing" has crept over to men's clothing. It used

size, I could pick out a pair without even having to try it on. Now, I have to g
o to the fitting room with tower of jeans ranging in size from 28x30 to 34x32 ju
st to find something that fits right - and every brand is different so it's not
like you can just count on the size you got last time.
The whole point of putting numbers on the jeans was to make shopping easy! I'm a

if it means I can be in and out of the store in five minutes!

en's clothing that are plus sizes actually fit quite differently so you can't ju

I really don't get it. I think big dudes need to lose weight just as much as I t

But on a more serious note: being overweight is bad for you. Especially later in
life. My great-aunt spent her last 15 years more or less unable to leave home.
My grandmother has hit the same problem. And now I'm worried that my mother is s
tarting to gain a lot of weight as she gets close to her 60s, and looking at wha
t she eats, it's blatantly obvious as to why. I'm not hating on my mother. But I
wish she would eat less and carry out a more healthy life-style especially beca
use she knows very well how miserable her own aunts later years were. If all thr
ee examples here were women, it's merely coincidence. My father is still thin as

a rake and still very active, as was his, and my grandfather on my mothers side
passed long ago.
If someone in our family is overweight we should try to help them, and if we are
ourselves, we should accept help offered.

just going about my business and I might smell something that reminds me of the
incident, and suddenly I'll be right back there feeling trapped and scared and a
nxious. Fight or flight kicks in. There are images of it happening in my mind. I
can't control it. And that's probably minor compared to what other people with
PTSD can experience.

Genuine triggers are awful. Purposely triggering someone (people actually do tha
t) is a fucking shitty thing to do. I think tumblr has trivialised the term "tri
gger" to the point where people with PTSD don't get taken seriously because they
get lumped in with the ones who take advantage of the term.
There should be a new term for PTSD survivors. "Trigger warning" has been corrup
ted. It's too vague. Something like "flashback warning" would be better.
People with PTSD genuinely need trigger (or flashback) warnings, it's not a joke
. A bad trigger can push someone over the edge.

Men get a small range of sizes, and mostly terrible fitting clothing; women get
a much larger amount of sizes and two separate sections for the larger and the s
maller. Just chill out and try to see it from other perspectives besides just yo
ur own. I mean have you seen how ill-fitting clothing is for men unless they buy
specialty or get it tailored? We have S, M, L, XL, XXL, XXXL. And if you're not
one of those specific measurements that define one of the 6 main sizes, then yo
u're going to be between them and either have way too tight clothing, or way too
loose clothing. Take it from a guy who grew up constantly in-between sizes and
looking fat in everything. Oh and if you're too embarassed to shop for larger cl
othing, then you're just perpetuating "fat-shaming" and not practicing what you
preach about body pride. Don't like shopping for bigger clothes? Put in the work
to make your body smaller or get over it.

Fat men also have more variety at standard stores. I've seen Old Navy push well
into the high 40 waists.
The problem is that it's a double standard. There is an infinitely higher bias t
oward overweight women than overweight men.
Both lifestyles are unhealthy, but unless you've been a fatty you don't understa
nd the struggle it takes to get away from there.
Food is a fucker and is an easy, shitty solution to many problems. I've been gui
lty for eating my feelings, especially those times where my weight has already b
een high. It's a lot easier to grab a DQ blizzard than it is to pull yourself up
and go get help.
It's taken me almost 40 years to change my mindset into a healthy one. I fucking
loved food. It's not an easy shift, especially if you've been raised to eat unh
ealthy.
Like when I quit smoking, it had to come from inside. And one thing I can tell y
ou is alienating overweight people isn't the solution. Pretending it doesn't exi
st or basically funnelling overweight people into "fat" stores also doesn't help
. It doesn't do great things to ones self esteem to have to go out of your way a

I find that the problem with food obsession/binging is somewhat different to mos

I didn't really want to respond, but this really bothered me. It's very narrow v

It's not always a matter of campaigning for an unhealthy lifestyle. You have to
dress for the body you have.
Shopping at a Big & Tall is a much different experience than shopping at stores
specifically targeted at plus size women (although options have improved greatly
for them over the years.) Many of thedr specialty stores have been known to cat
er towards an older demographic. The reality is there are younger women who are
plus size that want to wear the same trends their friends are wearing (prints, c
olors, silhouettes.) Just because a woman is a size 20 does not mean she only wa
nts to wear leopard prints and ruffles.
Also, keep in mind men's fashion and women's fashion are judged on different spe
ctrums. For instance, the male anchor who wore the same suit for a year.
Yes, obesity is an epidemic in America, but that doesn't mean they should be mar
ginalized.
Clothing is a fun means of expression for many people. If a person wants to patr
on a store and that store wants to cater to them what does it matter?

Double Edit: I've never seen a Big and Tall store that carries pants that are 30
x34/36. I've seen >32x34, but never my size. It's always geared toward either av
erage builds that are very tall, or average sized guys that are very fat.

What is this shit? How is "women's plus" any different than "big and tall?" "Big

I don't see how you could argue it is MORE of a euphemism.
Plus size seems like more of a euphemism than big. And tall isn't a substitution
for anything, unless you would prefer they use the term "lamppost" to make sure
they aren't overusing euphemisms.

The weird part is, Old Navy DOES have a "Big and Tall" selection in their mens c

.
But the womens stuff is separated out as a whole new category of "Womens Plus"
permalink
[ ]queenbrewer 21 points 5 hours ago
I think this is partially because plus sized women's clothing needs to be design
ed more differently than plus sized men's clothing, which usually is just larger
cuts of the same styles.

I get why plus sizes get there own category. If a big girl is checking out a sto

their size. That doesn't really explain why their category is wider on that pag
e...
Guys, look at it like this. You go to a parts web site looking for a distributor
for your '53 Hudson Hornet. Would you rather sift through all of the distributo
rs before you discover that they only carry Ford and Chevy parts? Nope, you want
to see a link to "Hudson engine parts" and get down to business. No mention of
Hudson, you go to the next site.
My wife is a big girl and she gets damn frustrated when she sees something she l
ikes, chooses a color and then finds that it isn't available in plus size.
Before you give women too much shit about "enabling an unhealthy lifestyle" you
should also understand that in the clothing industry 'plus size' does not necess
arily mean 400lb folks.

The only legitimate reason I can think of is that the majority of Old Navy custo
mers are plus sized women. Whenever we get a shipment of a product, there are al
most double the amount of larger sizes. Maybe they were trying to give more obvi
ous access to clothing for their (literally) biggest consumer. Gap Inc is usuall
y very literal with their advertisment (eg. Gap toothed women as models for a lo

It's all marketing. Nothing else would match well with "women's plus" (except if

Grandfather Maple takes the child to Seal Fur Woman, who teaches the child its n

Another possibility is that the plus size girl would fill the entirety of the fr
ame in the normal grid size, making her size easier to compare to the other grid
s, and by comparison actually appear larger than she really is.

By giving her a larger frame size, and thus more white space on each side, it co
uld have a bit of a slimming effect compared to the others.
Not sure how well all that works though here, just some design theory i pulled o

I'm no expert, but my guess is that it has something to do with women's style be
ing tighter fitting. Whereas the relatively loose fitting pants worn by men can
accommodate legs of varying widths, with only the waist and length varying great
ly, the tight fitting pants worn by women are far less versatile. It's not hard
to imagine how manufacturing clothes for women is far more costly than it is for
men. Considering this along with the greater demand among the fairer sex for st
ylish clothing, I think we arrive at at least a plausible explanation for why th
ere is a women's plus and not a men's plus.

That's not true. They tried to set up women's clothing like mens, back in the 20
s. Thing is, men are built similarly - triangle - and are able to use the waist/
length method for purchasing off the rack.
When they did the same for women, it didn't work. The difference in body shape f
or a woman who carries in her stomach versus her ass is night and day. It also d
oesn't help that men wear 2 pieces always, whereas women (especially then) wore
a lot of dresses.
But it doesn't have to do with "getting away with" - they did try to standardize
the women's size.

Well, some 3/4 of their merchandise is for women(this includes female children)
anyway, not that I really give a fuck because I mainly wear jeans and tshirts an

Would I like a few more options? Yes. Is there much of a market in that one stor
e for those options, probably not- a quick look at the closets of every female r
elative of mine shows that they each have at least 3x the amount of clothing by
volume as me, going much longer before they "cycle through". Most of them are bu
ying these clothes of their own accord, so it stands to reason that it's not as
profitable under the current system to stock as much clothing for men as women.

Is it actually true that men's bodies don't vary as much as women's?
permalinkparent
[ ]PigDog4 15 points 6 hours ago
Well, men don't have boobs, so that helps reduce body variations.
Other than that, men generally care about the "drop" between shoulders and waist
. This can vary a lot between fat guys, skinny-fat guys, lean athletic guys, and
built guys. I'm almost at the point where even "athletic" cuts don't quite have
enough drop and look kind of billowy on me, and I'm not even built. Actually bi
g dudes need to get almost everything tailored so it doesn't look like you're we
aring a garbage bag.

Women have relative variations in circumference around their boobs, waist and hi

ps. There's also variations in hips vs leg length.


Whereas men, if they are wider or longer around one of these areas, they are gen
erally wider or longer around all three.
Generally speaking, there are exceptions.
This is not probably not enough to explain all of the size difference in terms o
f men's clothing vs women's clothing, but it's certainly a factor.

I don't really know if there's a way to quantitatively answer that question.
Maybe standard deviation of men's waist/inseam/whatever vs. women's. But I don't
know if those kind of statistics are out there.
Anecdotally men's sizes are generally S/M/L/XL and then you add a few X's for th
e really big dudes. Whereas I doubt that any two girls who both wear a size 4 dr
ess look very similar in terms of body shape.

Correct, many many upscale stores do not offer larger sizes for women, and imo i
t's a financial decision on their part, nothing more. It works the other way too
. When I shopped at Walmart, they did not have women's dress slacks in my size b
ecause I was too small. Women my size don't shop at (that) Walmart often enough
to make it worth carrying a size smaller than 6. Also, they didn't sell dress sl
acks for little girls, so I had to purchase little boy's dress slacks. Normally
I don't buy dress slacks at Walmart but I had a... pants emergency.

That basically is why there are separate garments in each section. There are som

not all regular ones can be cut to suit a larger frame. So there's a separate s

They're separate for the sake of ease in shopping.

6'8" chubby guy here. Mens sections RARELY have over XL size shirts, and they NE
VER, EVER, EVER have 2XL AND tall styles. I can get a 3XL shirt and have it be 3
feet too wide, BUT have the length for the shirt to cover my freaking stomach,
OR go with a nicer-fitting 2XL and look like a belly-dancer.
It doesn't matter overall though, because 99% of stores, as I said, don't go ove
r XL.
And don't you even fucking get me started on shoes.. the pair I have right now h

process of having shoes shipped to you to try them on, and ship them back when
they aren't good enough just to order another pair to try (And yes I can just or

Typical stores have 4 sizes of mens shirts (S-XL) and an assortment of pants usu
ally ranging from 28-40 waist and 30-38 inseam with an assortment of combination
s of waist/inseam with some styles that change the fit.
When you get into larger sizes they just start adding X's. I've litterally seen
"XXXXXL" printed on a tag, and I held up the shirt and it was about the size of
a bed sheet. It was right next to the M-L shirts I was shopping for, they were j
ust out of the sizes in-between.
Women don't want this setup. They don't want to see their XXXXXL equivalent next
to a XS/S/M shirt because they can see the discrepancy. They want to be guided
to their section where things fit, and see all the other clothes that are close
to the size they can fit into. It falls right into the vanity sizing mindset for
women's clothes.
I'll put it this way. Would you rather be told you're a 4XL or that you're a Rel
axed Fit Medium? Guys generally don't care, and women do. Which is why they call
it out that way.

It's frustrating that "vanity sizing" has crept over to men's clothing. It used
to be so easy to find a pair of pants that fit. Once I knew my inseam and waist
size, I could pick out a pair without even having to try it on. Now, I have to g
o to the fitting room with tower of jeans ranging in size from 28x30 to 34x32 ju
st to find something that fits right - and every brand is different so it's not
like you can just count on the size you got last time.
The whole point of putting numbers on the jeans was to make shopping easy! I'm a
man. I don't care if my clothes literally call me a fat ass while I put them on
if it means I can be in and out of the store in five minutes!

l medium and large for the most part because it's cheaper to produce them that w
ay. By adding in another size you're adding a huge amount of inventory. Also wom
en's clothing that are plus sizes actually fit quite differently so you can't ju
st get the same style and add a few inches here and there and hope it looks good
. Girls who wear plus sizes are looking for different styles as well. Women's cl
othing have much more variety in styles where as men's sections are pretty much
shirts and pants.

I really don't get it. I think big dudes need to lose weight just as much as I t

But on a more serious note: being overweight is bad for you. Especially later in
life. My great-aunt spent her last 15 years more or less unable to leave home.
My grandmother has hit the same problem. And now I'm worried that my mother is s
tarting to gain a lot of weight as she gets close to her 60s, and looking at wha
t she eats, it's blatantly obvious as to why. I'm not hating on my mother. But I
wish she would eat less and carry out a more healthy life-style especially beca
use she knows very well how miserable her own aunts later years were. If all thr
ee examples here were women, it's merely coincidence. My father is still thin as
a rake and still very active, as was his, and my grandfather on my mothers side
passed long ago.
If someone in our family is overweight we should try to help them, and if we are
ourselves, we should accept help offered.

Hey, as someone with PTSD I can explain what a trigger is like for me. I can be
just going about my business and I might smell something that reminds me of the
incident, and suddenly I'll be right back there feeling trapped and scared and a
nxious. Fight or flight kicks in. There are images of it happening in my mind. I
can't control it. And that's probably minor compared to what other people with
PTSD can experience.
Genuine triggers are awful. Purposely triggering someone (people actually do tha
t) is a fucking shitty thing to do. I think tumblr has trivialised the term "tri
gger" to the point where people with PTSD don't get taken seriously because they
get lumped in with the ones who take advantage of the term.
There should be a new term for PTSD survivors. "Trigger warning" has been corrup
ted. It's too vague. Something like "flashback warning" would be better.
People with PTSD genuinely need trigger (or flashback) warnings, it's not a joke
. A bad trigger can push someone over the edge.

Men get a small range of sizes, and mostly terrible fitting clothing; women get
a much larger amount of sizes and two separate sections for the larger and the s
maller. Just chill out and try to see it from other perspectives besides just yo
ur own. I mean have you seen how ill-fitting clothing is for men unless they buy
specialty or get it tailored? We have S, M, L, XL, XXL, XXXL. And if you're not
one of those specific measurements that define one of the 6 main sizes, then yo
u're going to be between them and either have way too tight clothing, or way too

loose clothing. Take it from a guy who grew up constantly in-between sizes and
looking fat in everything. Oh and if you're too embarassed to shop for larger cl
othing, then you're just perpetuating "fat-shaming" and not practicing what you
preach about body pride. Don't like shopping for bigger clothes? Put in the work
to make your body smaller or get over it.

Fat men also have more variety at standard stores. I've seen Old Navy push well
into the high 40 waists.
The problem is that it's a double standard. There is an infinitely higher bias t
oward overweight women than overweight men.
Both lifestyles are unhealthy, but unless you've been a fatty you don't understa
nd the struggle it takes to get away from there.
Food is a fucker and is an easy, shitty solution to many problems. I've been gui
lty for eating my feelings, especially those times where my weight has already b
een high. It's a lot easier to grab a DQ blizzard than it is to pull yourself up
and go get help.
It's taken me almost 40 years to change my mindset into a healthy one. I fucking
loved food. It's not an easy shift, especially if you've been raised to eat unh
ealthy.
Like when I quit smoking, it had to come from inside. And one thing I can tell y
ou is alienating overweight people isn't the solution. Pretending it doesn't exi
st or basically funnelling overweight people into "fat" stores also doesn't help
. It doesn't do great things to ones self esteem to have to go out of your way a
nd shop at these kinds of stores.

I find that the problem with food obsession/binging is somewhat different to mos

around it, unless you live off an IV (can you do that?).

I didn't really want to respond, but this really bothered me. It's very narrow v

It's not always a matter of campaigning for an unhealthy lifestyle. You have to
dress for the body you have.
Shopping at a Big & Tall is a much different experience than shopping at stores
specifically targeted at plus size women (although options have improved greatly
for them over the years.) Many of thedr specialty stores have been known to cat
er towards an older demographic. The reality is there are younger women who are
plus size that want to wear the same trends their friends are wearing (prints, c
olors, silhouettes.) Just because a woman is a size 20 does not mean she only wa
nts to wear leopard prints and ruffles.
Also, keep in mind men's fashion and women's fashion are judged on different spe
ctrums. For instance, the male anchor who wore the same suit for a year.
Yes, obesity is an epidemic in America, but that doesn't mean they should be mar
ginalized.
Clothing is a fun means of expression for many people. If a person wants to patr
on a store and that store wants to cater to them what does it matter?

don't usually look like that.
permalinkparent
[ ]riggorous 3 points 2 hours ago
Plus models are typically 6 foot size 12's. That's in no way obese. Indeed, tall
women wearing the lower end of plus sizes aren't likely to be obese.

[ ]hardtolove 2 points 1 hour ago
In real life women don't generally look like non plus sized models either. It's
called photoshop, and they use it on all sizes.

They do, the rule is the fat person must fit in the seat with the armrests down.
If they insist on leaving them up just call a flight attendant who will find th

people can purchase two seats if they wish, and they'll even refund the extra s

Old navy has been getting some negative lime light over their plus side clothing

men's clothing (not so for men's).

I get why plus sizes get there own category. If a big girl is checking out a sto
re for the first time, they want to know quickly if they might have something in
their size. That doesn't really explain why their category is wider on that pag
e...
Guys, look at it like this. You go to a parts web site looking for a distributor
for your '53 Hudson Hornet. Would you rather sift through all of the distributo
rs before you discover that they only carry Ford and Chevy parts? Nope, you want
to see a link to "Hudson engine parts" and get down to business. No mention of
Hudson, you go to the next site.
My wife is a big girl and she gets damn frustrated when she sees something she l
ikes, chooses a color and then finds that it isn't available in plus size.
Before you give women too much shit about "enabling an unhealthy lifestyle" you
should also understand that in the clothing industry 'plus size' does not necess
arily mean 400lb folks.

The only legitimate reason I can think of is that the majority of Old Navy custo
mers are plus sized women. Whenever we get a shipment of a product, there are al
most double the amount of larger sizes. Maybe they were trying to give more obvi
ous access to clothing for their (literally) biggest consumer. Gap Inc is usuall
y very literal with their advertisment (eg. Gap toothed women as models for a lo
t of their posters)

It's all marketing. Nothing else would match well with "women's plus" (except if

Their responsive design is very grid based and they organized the sets into the

A Canadian is born in the midst of a long and cold winter's night, when the spir

Grandfather Maple takes the child to Seal Fur Woman, who teaches the child its n

Another possibility is that the plus size girl would fill the entirety of the fr
ame in the normal grid size, making her size easier to compare to the other grid
s, and by comparison actually appear larger than she really is.
By giving her a larger frame size, and thus more white space on each side, it co
uld have a bit of a slimming effect compared to the others.
Not sure how well all that works though here, just some design theory i pulled o

I'm no expert, but my guess is that it has something to do with women's style be

ing tighter fitting. Whereas the relatively loose fitting pants worn by men can
accommodate legs of varying widths, with only the waist and length varying great
ly, the tight fitting pants worn by women are far less versatile. It's not hard
to imagine how manufacturing clothes for women is far more costly than it is for
men. Considering this along with the greater demand among the fairer sex for st
ylish clothing, I think we arrive at at least a plausible explanation for why th
ere is a women's plus and not a men's plus.

That's not true. They tried to set up women's clothing like mens, back in the 20
s. Thing is, men are built similarly - triangle - and are able to use the waist/
length method for purchasing off the rack.
When they did the same for women, it didn't work. The difference in body shape f

or a woman who carries in her stomach versus her ass is night and day. It also d
oesn't help that men wear 2 pieces always, whereas women (especially then) wore
a lot of dresses.
But it doesn't have to do with "getting away with" - they did try to standardize
the women's size.

Well, some 3/4 of their merchandise is for women(this includes female children)

Would I like a few more options? Yes. Is there much of a market in that one stor
e for those options, probably not- a quick look at the closets of every female r
elative of mine shows that they each have at least 3x the amount of clothing by
volume as me, going much longer before they "cycle through". Most of them are bu

profitable under the current system to stock as much clothing for men as women.

Well, men don't have boobs, so that helps reduce body variations.

built guys. I'm almost at the point where even "athletic" cuts don't quite have
enough drop and look kind of billowy on me, and I'm not even built. Actually bi

Women have relative variations in circumference around their boobs, waist and hi
ps. There's also variations in hips vs leg length.
Whereas men, if they are wider or longer around one of these areas, they are gen
erally wider or longer around all three.
Generally speaking, there are exceptions.
This is not probably not enough to explain all of the size difference in terms o

to make it worth carrying a size smaller than 6. Also, they didn't sell dress sl

"XXXXXL" printed on a tag, and I held up the shirt and it was about the size of
a bed sheet. It was right next to the M-L shirts I was shopping for, they were j
ust out of the sizes in-between.
Women don't want this setup. They don't want to see their XXXXXL equivalent next
to a XS/S/M shirt because they can see the discrepancy. They want to be guided
to their section where things fit, and see all the other clothes that are close
to the size they can fit into. It falls right into the vanity sizing mindset for
women's clothes.
I'll put it this way. Would you rather be told you're a 4XL or that you're a Rel
axed Fit Medium? Guys generally don't care, and women do. Which is why they call
it out that way.

and inseam instead of this arbitrary bullshit that never ever lines up with what
the size chart says it should be.

It's frustrating that "vanity sizing" has crept over to men's clothing. It used
to be so easy to find a pair of pants that fit. Once I knew my inseam and waist
size, I could pick out a pair without even having to try it on. Now, I have to g
o to the fitting room with tower of jeans ranging in size from 28x30 to 34x32 ju
st to find something that fits right - and every brand is different so it's not
like you can just count on the size you got last time.
The whole point of putting numbers on the jeans was to make shopping easy! I'm a
man. I don't care if my clothes literally call me a fat ass while I put them on
if it means I can be in and out of the store in five minutes!

I used to be a buyer in women's fashion so I can explain this quite easily. Ther

l medium and large for the most part because it's cheaper to produce them that w
ay. By adding in another size you're adding a huge amount of inventory. Also wom
en's clothing that are plus sizes actually fit quite differently so you can't ju
st get the same style and add a few inches here and there and hope it looks good
. Girls who wear plus sizes are looking for different styles as well. Women's cl
othing have much more variety in styles where as men's sections are pretty much
shirts and pants.

I really don't get it. I think big dudes need to lose weight just as much as I t
hink big women do. I suppose I discriminate equally.
But on a more serious note: being overweight is bad for you. Especially later in
life. My great-aunt spent her last 15 years more or less unable to leave home.
My grandmother has hit the same problem. And now I'm worried that my mother is s
tarting to gain a lot of weight as she gets close to her 60s, and looking at wha
t she eats, it's blatantly obvious as to why. I'm not hating on my mother. But I
wish she would eat less and carry out a more healthy life-style especially beca
use she knows very well how miserable her own aunts later years were. If all thr
ee examples here were women, it's merely coincidence. My father is still thin as
a rake and still very active, as was his, and my grandfather on my mothers side
passed long ago.
If someone in our family is overweight we should try to help them, and if we are
ourselves, we should accept help offered.

When something, whether it be words, images, a person, etc... causes (triggers)
someone to re-experience a traumatic memory. Example: rape victims sometimes bec

Hey, as someone with PTSD I can explain what a trigger is like for me. I can be
just going about my business and I might smell something that reminds me of the
incident, and suddenly I'll be right back there feeling trapped and scared and a
nxious. Fight or flight kicks in. There are images of it happening in my mind. I
can't control it. And that's probably minor compared to what other people with
PTSD can experience.
Genuine triggers are awful. Purposely triggering someone (people actually do tha
t) is a fucking shitty thing to do. I think tumblr has trivialised the term "tri
gger" to the point where people with PTSD don't get taken seriously because they
get lumped in with the ones who take advantage of the term.
There should be a new term for PTSD survivors. "Trigger warning" has been corrup
ted. It's too vague. Something like "flashback warning" would be better.
People with PTSD genuinely need trigger (or flashback) warnings, it's not a joke
. A bad trigger can push someone over the edge.

Fat men will generally look fine in the same clothes as skinny men, provided the

woman, because women's clothes are designed for certain body types. Men's cloth

Plus size clothes are labeled either XXL, XXXL etc., or 1X, 2X, etc. They're sol

Additionally, the clothes are usually far uglier than the cute skinny people clo

Men get a small range of sizes, and mostly terrible fitting clothing; women get
a much larger amount of sizes and two separate sections for the larger and the s
maller. Just chill out and try to see it from other perspectives besides just yo
ur own. I mean have you seen how ill-fitting clothing is for men unless they buy
specialty or get it tailored? We have S, M, L, XL, XXL, XXXL. And if you're not
one of those specific measurements that define one of the 6 main sizes, then yo
u're going to be between them and either have way too tight clothing, or way too
loose clothing. Take it from a guy who grew up constantly in-between sizes and
looking fat in everything. Oh and if you're too embarassed to shop for larger cl
othing, then you're just perpetuating "fat-shaming" and not practicing what you
preach about body pride. Don't like shopping for bigger clothes? Put in the work
to make your body smaller or get over it.

Fat men also have more variety at standard stores. I've seen Old Navy push well
into the high 40 waists.
The problem is that it's a double standard. There is an infinitely higher bias t
oward overweight women than overweight men.
Both lifestyles are unhealthy, but unless you've been a fatty you don't understa
nd the struggle it takes to get away from there.
Food is a fucker and is an easy, shitty solution to many problems. I've been gui
lty for eating my feelings, especially those times where my weight has already b

een high. It's a lot easier to grab a DQ blizzard than it is to pull yourself up
and go get help.
It's taken me almost 40 years to change my mindset into a healthy one. I fucking
loved food. It's not an easy shift, especially if you've been raised to eat unh
ealthy.
Like when I quit smoking, it had to come from inside. And one thing I can tell y
ou is alienating overweight people isn't the solution. Pretending it doesn't exi
st or basically funnelling overweight people into "fat" stores also doesn't help
. It doesn't do great things to ones self esteem to have to go out of your way a
nd shop at these kinds of stores.

I find that the problem with food obsession/binging is somewhat different to mos

I didn't really want to respond, but this really bothered me. It's very narrow v

It's not always a matter of campaigning for an unhealthy lifestyle. You have to
dress for the body you have.
Shopping at a Big & Tall is a much different experience than shopping at stores
specifically targeted at plus size women (although options have improved greatly
for them over the years.) Many of thedr specialty stores have been known to cat
er towards an older demographic. The reality is there are younger women who are
plus size that want to wear the same trends their friends are wearing (prints, c
olors, silhouettes.) Just because a woman is a size 20 does not mean she only wa
nts to wear leopard prints and ruffles.
Also, keep in mind men's fashion and women's fashion are judged on different spe
ctrums. For instance, the male anchor who wore the same suit for a year.
Yes, obesity is an epidemic in America, but that doesn't mean they should be mar
ginalized.
Clothing is a fun means of expression for many people. If a person wants to patr
on a store and that store wants to cater to them what does it matter?

I never really thought about that. It sort of does show the difference in how of

Double Edit: I've never seen a Big and Tall store that carries pants that are 30

Guys, look at it like this. You go to a parts web site looking for a distributor
for your '53 Hudson Hornet. Would you rather sift through all of the distributo

to see a link to "Hudson engine parts" and get down to business. No mention of
Hudson, you go to the next site.

I used to make websites like this as my job. It's an unfortunate layout decision
. They just divided into age categories.
Men, Women
Women+, (and there should be Men+)
Girls, Boys
Younger girls, younger boys

The only legitimate reason I can think of is that the majority of Old Navy custo
mers are plus sized women. Whenever we get a shipment of a product, there are al
most double the amount of larger sizes. Maybe they were trying to give more obvi
ous access to clothing for their (literally) biggest consumer. Gap Inc is usuall
y very literal with their advertisment (eg. Gap toothed women as models for a lo
t of their posters)

It's all marketing. Nothing else would match well with "women's plus" (except if
there was a "men's plus") Regardless, it's matched by pairs. "Man" and "women"
look better side by side than "man" and "women's plus".

Their responsive design is very grid based and they organized the sets into the
three pars; adults, kids, toddlers. There is no plus men's category so this sing

A Canadian is born in the midst of a long and cold winter's night, when the spir
its of Moose and Beaver are taken by Grandfather Maple to a hockey rink. If Moos
e out scores Beaver, a boy is born. If Beaver beats Moose, a girl is born. Then
Grandfather Maple takes the child to Seal Fur Woman, who teaches the child its n
ame, the Canadian national anthem, and bestows upon it a love of gravy on French
fries. After that, a worthy Canadian couple, who have proven themselves fortudi
nous by surviving the harsh winter and Stephen Harper's roaming squad of attack
kittens in sweater vests, apologized profusely for all the fuss and is allowed t
o adopt the child from Grandfather Maple.

Another possibility is that the plus size girl would fill the entirety of the fr
ame in the normal grid size, making her size easier to compare to the other grid
s, and by comparison actually appear larger than she really is.
By giving her a larger frame size, and thus more white space on each side, it co
uld have a bit of a slimming effect compared to the others.
Not sure how well all that works though here, just some design theory i pulled o
ut of my ass.

I'm no expert, but my guess is that it has something to do with women's style be
ing tighter fitting. Whereas the relatively loose fitting pants worn by men can
accommodate legs of varying widths, with only the waist and length varying great
ly, the tight fitting pants worn by women are far less versatile. It's not hard
to imagine how manufacturing clothes for women is far more costly than it is for
men. Considering this along with the greater demand among the fairer sex for st
ylish clothing, I think we arrive at at least a plausible explanation for why th
ere is a women's plus and not a men's plus.

"Mens plus" is just "Mens"
It's a double standard in clothing because it's easier for men to get away with

That's not true. They tried to set up women's clothing like mens, back in the 20
s. Thing is, men are built similarly - triangle - and are able to use the waist/
length method for purchasing off the rack.
When they did the same for women, it didn't work. The difference in body shape f
or a woman who carries in her stomach versus her ass is night and day. It also d
oesn't help that men wear 2 pieces always, whereas women (especially then) wore
a lot of dresses.
But it doesn't have to do with "getting away with" - they did try to standardize
the women's size.

Well, some 3/4 of their merchandise is for women(this includes female children)
anyway, not that I really give a fuck because I mainly wear jeans and tshirts an
yway.

Would I like a few more options? Yes. Is there much of a market in that one stor
e for those options, probably not- a quick look at the closets of every female r
elative of mine shows that they each have at least 3x the amount of clothing by
volume as me, going much longer before they "cycle through". Most of them are bu
ying these clothes of their own accord, so it stands to reason that it's not as
profitable under the current system to stock as much clothing for men as women.

Well, men don't have boobs, so that helps reduce body variations.
Other than that, men generally care about the "drop" between shoulders and waist
. This can vary a lot between fat guys, skinny-fat guys, lean athletic guys, and
built guys. I'm almost at the point where even "athletic" cuts don't quite have
enough drop and look kind of billowy on me, and I'm not even built. Actually bi

Women have relative variations in circumference around their boobs, waist and hi
ps. There's also variations in hips vs leg length.
Whereas men, if they are wider or longer around one of these areas, they are gen
erally wider or longer around all three.
Generally speaking, there are exceptions.
This is not probably not enough to explain all of the size difference in terms o
f men's clothing vs women's clothing, but it's certainly a factor.

I don't really know if there's a way to quantitatively answer that question.
Maybe standard deviation of men's waist/inseam/whatever vs. women's. But I don't

Anecdotally men's sizes are generally S/M/L/XL and then you add a few X's for th
e really big dudes. Whereas I doubt that any two girls who both wear a size 4 dr

Correct, many many upscale stores do not offer larger sizes for women, and imo i

. When I shopped at Walmart, they did not have women's dress slacks in my size b
ecause I was too small. Women my size don't shop at (that) Walmart often enough
to make it worth carrying a size smaller than 6. Also, they didn't sell dress sl

I don't buy dress slacks at Walmart but I had a... pants emergency.

It doesn't matter overall though, because 99% of stores, as I said, don't go ove

Typical stores have 4 sizes of mens shirts (S-XL) and an assortment of pants usu
ally ranging from 28-40 waist and 30-38 inseam with an assortment of combination
s of waist/inseam with some styles that change the fit.
When you get into larger sizes they just start adding X's. I've litterally seen
"XXXXXL" printed on a tag, and I held up the shirt and it was about the size of
a bed sheet. It was right next to the M-L shirts I was shopping for, they were j
ust out of the sizes in-between.
Women don't want this setup. They don't want to see their XXXXXL equivalent next
to a XS/S/M shirt because they can see the discrepancy. They want to be guided
to their section where things fit, and see all the other clothes that are close
to the size they can fit into. It falls right into the vanity sizing mindset for
women's clothes.
I'll put it this way. Would you rather be told you're a 4XL or that you're a Rel
axed Fit Medium? Guys generally don't care, and women do. Which is why they call
it out that way.

It's frustrating that "vanity sizing" has crept over to men's clothing. It used

o to the fitting room with tower of jeans ranging in size from 28x30 to 34x32 ju
st to find something that fits right - and every brand is different so it's not
like you can just count on the size you got last time.
The whole point of putting numbers on the jeans was to make shopping easy! I'm a

en's clothing that are plus sizes actually fit quite differently so you can't ju

Can someone explain this 'trigger' bullshit to me?

[ ]RossBoss95 183 points 5 hours ago
Sure. Triggers in real life are things that can trigger a negative flashback or
panic attack in people who suffer from post traumatic stress disorder. Tumblr ba
stardizes this by claiming that they have some type of internet PTSD and certain
words or things can trigger them to have a panic attack. It really just boils d
own to hurting fee fee's

You have to understand it's not so much about how offended you actually are. It'

being a victim of EVERYTHING they get attention which is the end goal. If you w

When I was in treatment for my eating disorder, a "trigger" was something that t
riggered your unhealthy behavior. Like, going to the grocery store was a trigger
for me because of the laxative section. It was very difficult for me to stay aw
ay from it. Hopefully that makes sense?

When something, whether it be words, images, a person, etc... causes (triggers)
someone to re-experience a traumatic memory. Example: rape victims sometimes bec
ome incredibly anxious when their rapist enters the room, or fireworks can set o
ff flashbacks for soldiers with PTSD.
Yes, sometimes people feel uncomfortable around criticism and call it a "trigger
" to shut down conversation, but I think many triggers are legitimate. Reddit do
esn't seem to think that's the case.

Hey, as someone with PTSD I can explain what a trigger is like for me. I can be
just going about my business and I might smell something that reminds me of the
incident, and suddenly I'll be right back there feeling trapped and scared and a
nxious. Fight or flight kicks in. There are images of it happening in my mind. I
can't control it. And that's probably minor compared to what other people with
PTSD can experience.
Genuine triggers are awful. Purposely triggering someone (people actually do tha
t) is a fucking shitty thing to do. I think tumblr has trivialised the term "tri
gger" to the point where people with PTSD don't get taken seriously because they
get lumped in with the ones who take advantage of the term.
There should be a new term for PTSD survivors. "Trigger warning" has been corrup
ted. It's too vague. Something like "flashback warning" would be better.

People with PTSD genuinely need trigger (or flashback) warnings, it's not a joke
. A bad trigger can push someone over the edge.

Men get a small range of sizes, and mostly terrible fitting clothing; women get
a much larger amount of sizes and two separate sections for the larger and the s
maller. Just chill out and try to see it from other perspectives besides just yo
ur own. I mean have you seen how ill-fitting clothing is for men unless they buy
specialty or get it tailored? We have S, M, L, XL, XXL, XXXL. And if you're not
one of those specific measurements that define one of the 6 main sizes, then yo
u're going to be between them and either have way too tight clothing, or way too
loose clothing. Take it from a guy who grew up constantly in-between sizes and
looking fat in everything. Oh and if you're too embarassed to shop for larger cl
othing, then you're just perpetuating "fat-shaming" and not practicing what you
preach about body pride. Don't like shopping for bigger clothes? Put in the work

y not do it to them?

Fat men also have more variety at standard stores. I've seen Old Navy push well
into the high 40 waists.
The problem is that it's a double standard. There is an infinitely higher bias t
oward overweight women than overweight men.
Both lifestyles are unhealthy, but unless you've been a fatty you don't understa
nd the struggle it takes to get away from there.
Food is a fucker and is an easy, shitty solution to many problems. I've been gui
lty for eating my feelings, especially those times where my weight has already b
een high. It's a lot easier to grab a DQ blizzard than it is to pull yourself up
and go get help.
It's taken me almost 40 years to change my mindset into a healthy one. I fucking
loved food. It's not an easy shift, especially if you've been raised to eat unh
ealthy.
Like when I quit smoking, it had to come from inside. And one thing I can tell y
ou is alienating overweight people isn't the solution. Pretending it doesn't exi
st or basically funnelling overweight people into "fat" stores also doesn't help
. It doesn't do great things to ones self esteem to have to go out of your way a
nd shop at these kinds of stores.

[ ]flyinthesoup 24 points 3 hours ago
I find that the problem with food obsession/binging is somewhat different to mos
t addictions. When you quit smoking, you never have to take up a cigarette again
. You don't need it. Same with other drugs. But you need to eat. There's no way
around it, unless you live off an IV (can you do that?).

I didn't really want to respond, but this really bothered me. It's very narrow v
iew.
It's not always a matter of campaigning for an unhealthy lifestyle. You have to
dress for the body you have.
Shopping at a Big & Tall is a much different experience than shopping at stores
specifically targeted at plus size women (although options have improved greatly
for them over the years.) Many of thedr specialty stores have been known to cat
er towards an older demographic. The reality is there are younger women who are
plus size that want to wear the same trends their friends are wearing (prints, c
olors, silhouettes.) Just because a woman is a size 20 does not mean she only wa
nts to wear leopard prints and ruffles.
Also, keep in mind men's fashion and women's fashion are judged on different spe
ctrums. For instance, the male anchor who wore the same suit for a year.
Yes, obesity is an epidemic in America, but that doesn't mean they should be mar
ginalized.
Clothing is a fun means of expression for many people. If a person wants to patr
on a store and that store wants to cater to them what does it matter?

I never really thought about that. It sort of does show the difference in how of

store though. There probably aren't nearly as many people who fit that category

as there are people who fit the big+tall category, so that'll probably never ha
ppen. But dammit, I want more options for 30x34/30x36 pants!
EDIT: I feel like I'm working at Old Navy again.
Double Edit: I've never seen a Big and Tall store that carries pants that are 30
x34/36. I've seen >32x34, but never my size. It's always geared toward either av

Guys, look at it like this. You go to a parts web site looking for a distributor
for your '53 Hudson Hornet. Would you rather sift through all of the distributo

to see a link to "Hudson engine parts" and get down to business. No mention of
Hudson, you go to the next site.
My wife is a big girl and she gets damn frustrated when she sees something she l
ikes, chooses a color and then finds that it isn't available in plus size.

Get over yourself lady. We're never going to move towards equality or anything u
seful if stupid stuff like this keeps making headlines or front pages of website
s. "They put me on the bottom cause I'm white." "They put me off to the side cau
se I'm black." "They gave me two frames cause I'm fat."
People like yourself need to stop looking into useless things and do something p
roductive for this world.

Their responsive design is very grid based and they organized the sets into the
three pars; adults, kids, toddlers. There is no plus men's category so this sing
le category either had to take up two grid positions or go to the bottom as a si

A Canadian is born in the midst of a long and cold winter's night, when the spir
its of Moose and Beaver are taken by Grandfather Maple to a hockey rink. If Moos
e out scores Beaver, a boy is born. If Beaver beats Moose, a girl is born. Then
Grandfather Maple takes the child to Seal Fur Woman, who teaches the child its n
ame, the Canadian national anthem, and bestows upon it a love of gravy on French
fries. After that, a worthy Canadian couple, who have proven themselves fortudi
nous by surviving the harsh winter and Stephen Harper's roaming squad of attack
kittens in sweater vests, apologized profusely for all the fuss and is allowed t
o adopt the child from Grandfather Maple.

Another possibility is that the plus size girl would fill the entirety of the fr
ame in the normal grid size, making her size easier to compare to the other grid
s, and by comparison actually appear larger than she really is.
By giving her a larger frame size, and thus more white space on each side, it co
uld have a bit of a slimming effect compared to the others.
Not sure how well all that works though here, just some design theory i pulled o
ut of my ass.

I'm no expert, but my guess is that it has something to do with women's style be
ing tighter fitting. Whereas the relatively loose fitting pants worn by men can
accommodate legs of varying widths, with only the waist and length varying great
ly, the tight fitting pants worn by women are far less versatile. It's not hard
to imagine how manufacturing clothes for women is far more costly than it is for
men. Considering this along with the greater demand among the fairer sex for st
ylish clothing, I think we arrive at at least a plausible explanation for why th
ere is a women's plus and not a men's plus.

That's not true. They tried to set up women's clothing like mens, back in the 20
s. Thing is, men are built similarly - triangle - and are able to use the waist/
length method for purchasing off the rack.
When they did the same for women, it didn't work. The difference in body shape f
or a woman who carries in her stomach versus her ass is night and day. It also d
oesn't help that men wear 2 pieces always, whereas women (especially then) wore
a lot of dresses.
But it doesn't have to do with "getting away with" - they did try to standardize
the women's size.

Well, some 3/4 of their merchandise is for women(this includes female children)
anyway, not that I really give a fuck because I mainly wear jeans and tshirts an
yway.
Would I like a few more options? Yes. Is there much of a market in that one stor
e for those options, probably not- a quick look at the closets of every female r
elative of mine shows that they each have at least 3x the amount of clothing by
volume as me, going much longer before they "cycle through". Most of them are bu
ying these clothes of their own accord, so it stands to reason that it's not as
profitable under the current system to stock as much clothing for men as women.

I make ON promo emails and they usually make W doublewide since it gets the most

I read a very interesting research study conducted by a state board of health an
d education that concluded that obese individuals, once they've lost a majority
of their excess weight (through diet snd exercise - aka the healthy, progressive
way) are 55-65% less likely to experience depression symptoms; 80-92% reported
overall quality of life improvements that they called very significant.
Probably common sense, but hearing those numbers may act as a motivator for you!

Well, men don't have boobs, so that helps reduce body variations.
Other than that, men generally care about the "drop" between shoulders and waist
. This can vary a lot between fat guys, skinny-fat guys, lean athletic guys, and
built guys. I'm almost at the point where even "athletic" cuts don't quite have
enough drop and look kind of billowy on me, and I'm not even built. Actually bi
g dudes need to get almost everything tailored so it doesn't look like you're we

Women have relative variations in circumference around their boobs, waist and hi
ps. There's also variations in hips vs leg length.
Whereas men, if they are wider or longer around one of these areas, they are gen
erally wider or longer around all three.
Generally speaking, there are exceptions.
This is not probably not enough to explain all of the size difference in terms o
f men's clothing vs women's clothing, but it's certainly a factor.

I don't really know if there's a way to quantitatively answer that question.
Maybe standard deviation of men's waist/inseam/whatever vs. women's. But I don't

Anecdotally men's sizes are generally S/M/L/XL and then you add a few X's for th
e really big dudes. Whereas I doubt that any two girls who both wear a size 4 dr

Correct, many many upscale stores do not offer larger sizes for women, and imo i

. When I shopped at Walmart, they did not have women's dress slacks in my size b
ecause I was too small. Women my size don't shop at (that) Walmart often enough
to make it worth carrying a size smaller than 6. Also, they didn't sell dress sl

I don't buy dress slacks at Walmart but I had a... pants emergency.

6'8" chubby guy here. Mens sections RARELY have over XL size shirts, and they NE

feet too wide, BUT have the length for the shirt to cover my freaking stomach,
OR go with a nicer-fitting 2XL and look like a belly-dancer.
It doesn't matter overall though, because 99% of stores, as I said, don't go ove

Typical stores have 4 sizes of mens shirts (S-XL) and an assortment of pants usu

ally ranging from 28-40 waist and 30-38 inseam with an assortment of combination
s of waist/inseam with some styles that change the fit.
When you get into larger sizes they just start adding X's. I've litterally seen
"XXXXXL" printed on a tag, and I held up the shirt and it was about the size of
a bed sheet. It was right next to the M-L shirts I was shopping for, they were j
ust out of the sizes in-between.
Women don't want this setup. They don't want to see their XXXXXL equivalent next
to a XS/S/M shirt because they can see the discrepancy. They want to be guided
to their section where things fit, and see all the other clothes that are close
to the size they can fit into. It falls right into the vanity sizing mindset for
women's clothes.
I'll put it this way. Would you rather be told you're a 4XL or that you're a Rel
axed Fit Medium? Guys generally don't care, and women do. Which is why they call
it out that way.

It's frustrating that "vanity sizing" has crept over to men's clothing. It used

o to the fitting room with tower of jeans ranging in size from 28x30 to 34x32 ju
st to find something that fits right - and every brand is different so it's not
like you can just count on the size you got last time.
The whole point of putting numbers on the jeans was to make shopping easy! I'm a

if it means I can be in and out of the store in five minutes!

I really don't get it. I think big dudes need to lose weight just as much as I t

But on a more serious note: being overweight is bad for you. Especially later in
life. My great-aunt spent her last 15 years more or less unable to leave home.
My grandmother has hit the same problem. And now I'm worried that my mother is s
tarting to gain a lot of weight as she gets close to her 60s, and looking at wha
t she eats, it's blatantly obvious as to why. I'm not hating on my mother. But I
wish she would eat less and carry out a more healthy life-style especially beca
use she knows very well how miserable her own aunts later years were. If all thr
ee examples here were women, it's merely coincidence. My father is still thin as
a rake and still very active, as was his, and my grandfather on my mothers side
passed long ago.
If someone in our family is overweight we should try to help them, and if we are
ourselves, we should accept help offered.

Hey, as someone with PTSD I can explain what a trigger is like for me. I can be
just going about my business and I might smell something that reminds me of the
incident, and suddenly I'll be right back there feeling trapped and scared and a
nxious. Fight or flight kicks in. There are images of it happening in my mind. I
can't control it. And that's probably minor compared to what other people with
PTSD can experience.
Genuine triggers are awful. Purposely triggering someone (people actually do tha
t) is a fucking shitty thing to do. I think tumblr has trivialised the term "tri
gger" to the point where people with PTSD don't get taken seriously because they
get lumped in with the ones who take advantage of the term.
There should be a new term for PTSD survivors. "Trigger warning" has been corrup
ted. It's too vague. Something like "flashback warning" would be better.
People with PTSD genuinely need trigger (or flashback) warnings, it's not a joke
. A bad trigger can push someone over the edge.

Men get a small range of sizes, and mostly terrible fitting clothing; women get
a much larger amount of sizes and two separate sections for the larger and the s
maller. Just chill out and try to see it from other perspectives besides just yo
ur own. I mean have you seen how ill-fitting clothing is for men unless they buy
specialty or get it tailored? We have S, M, L, XL, XXL, XXXL. And if you're not
one of those specific measurements that define one of the 6 main sizes, then yo
u're going to be between them and either have way too tight clothing, or way too
loose clothing. Take it from a guy who grew up constantly in-between sizes and
looking fat in everything. Oh and if you're too embarassed to shop for larger cl
othing, then you're just perpetuating "fat-shaming" and not practicing what you
preach about body pride. Don't like shopping for bigger clothes? Put in the work
to make your body smaller or get over it.

Fat men also have more variety at standard stores. I've seen Old Navy push well
into the high 40 waists.
The problem is that it's a double standard. There is an infinitely higher bias t
oward overweight women than overweight men.
Both lifestyles are unhealthy, but unless you've been a fatty you don't understa
nd the struggle it takes to get away from there.
Food is a fucker and is an easy, shitty solution to many problems. I've been gui
lty for eating my feelings, especially those times where my weight has already b
een high. It's a lot easier to grab a DQ blizzard than it is to pull yourself up
and go get help.
It's taken me almost 40 years to change my mindset into a healthy one. I fucking
loved food. It's not an easy shift, especially if you've been raised to eat unh
ealthy.
Like when I quit smoking, it had to come from inside. And one thing I can tell y
ou is alienating overweight people isn't the solution. Pretending it doesn't exi
st or basically funnelling overweight people into "fat" stores also doesn't help
. It doesn't do great things to ones self esteem to have to go out of your way a

I find that the problem with food obsession/binging is somewhat different to mos

I didn't really want to respond, but this really bothered me. It's very narrow v

It's not always a matter of campaigning for an unhealthy lifestyle. You have to
dress for the body you have.
Shopping at a Big & Tall is a much different experience than shopping at stores
specifically targeted at plus size women (although options have improved greatly
for them over the years.) Many of thedr specialty stores have been known to cat
er towards an older demographic. The reality is there are younger women who are
plus size that want to wear the same trends their friends are wearing (prints, c
olors, silhouettes.) Just because a woman is a size 20 does not mean she only wa
nts to wear leopard prints and ruffles.
Also, keep in mind men's fashion and women's fashion are judged on different spe
ctrums. For instance, the male anchor who wore the same suit for a year.
Yes, obesity is an epidemic in America, but that doesn't mean they should be mar
ginalized.
Clothing is a fun means of expression for many people. If a person wants to patr
on a store and that store wants to cater to them what does it matter?

I never really thought about that. It sort of does show the difference in how of

EDIT: I feel like I'm working at Old Navy again.
Double Edit: I've never seen a Big and Tall store that carries pants that are 30

What is this shit? How is "women's plus" any different than "big and tall?" "Big
and tall" is MORE of a euphemism.
You're also completely ignoring stores like "Lane Bryant."
The eagerness to upvote anything vaguely "mensrights" or fat shaming related is
disgusting.

[ ]Tysonzero 8 points 5 hours ago
I don't see how you could argue it is MORE of a euphemism.
Plus size seems like more of a euphemism than big. And tall isn't a substitution
for anything, unless you would prefer they use the term "lamppost" to make sure
they aren't overusing euphemisms.

The weird part is, Old Navy DOES have a "Big and Tall" selection in their mens c
lothing, but you don't really see it until you click on the item you want to buy
.
But the womens stuff is separated out as a whole new category of "Womens Plus"
permalink
[ ]queenbrewer 21 points 5 hours ago
I think this is partially because plus sized women's clothing needs to be design
ed more differently than plus sized men's clothing, which usually is just larger
cuts of the same styles.

Yeah, most plus size models are heavy compared to regular models, but very propo

don't usually look like that.
permalinkparent

Plus models are typically 6 foot size 12's. That's in no way obese. Indeed, tall
women wearing the lower end of plus sizes aren't likely to be obese.

I get why plus sizes get there own category. If a big girl is checking out a sto
re for the first time, they want to know quickly if they might have something in
their size. That doesn't really explain why their category is wider on that pag
e...
Guys, look at it like this. You go to a parts web site looking for a distributor
for your '53 Hudson Hornet. Would you rather sift through all of the distributo
rs before you discover that they only carry Ford and Chevy parts? Nope, you want
to see a link to "Hudson engine parts" and get down to business. No mention of
Hudson, you go to the next site.
My wife is a big girl and she gets damn frustrated when she sees something she l
ikes, chooses a color and then finds that it isn't available in plus size.
Before you give women too much shit about "enabling an unhealthy lifestyle" you
should also understand that in the clothing industry 'plus size' does not necess
arily mean 400lb folks.

The only legitimate reason I can think of is that the majority of Old Navy custo
mers are plus sized women. Whenever we get a shipment of a product, there are al
most double the amount of larger sizes. Maybe they were trying to give more obvi
ous access to clothing for their (literally) biggest consumer. Gap Inc is usuall
y very literal with their advertisment (eg. Gap toothed women as models for a lo

Their responsive design is very grid based and they organized the sets into the

Grandfather Maple takes the child to Seal Fur Woman, who teaches the child its n

Another possibility is that the plus size girl would fill the entirety of the fr
ame in the normal grid size, making her size easier to compare to the other grid
s, and by comparison actually appear larger than she really is.
By giving her a larger frame size, and thus more white space on each side, it co
uld have a bit of a slimming effect compared to the others.
Not sure how well all that works though here, just some design theory i pulled o

I'm no expert, but my guess is that it has something to do with women's style be
ing tighter fitting. Whereas the relatively loose fitting pants worn by men can
accommodate legs of varying widths, with only the waist and length varying great
ly, the tight fitting pants worn by women are far less versatile. It's not hard
to imagine how manufacturing clothes for women is far more costly than it is for
men. Considering this along with the greater demand among the fairer sex for st
ylish clothing, I think we arrive at at least a plausible explanation for why th

ere is a women's plus and not a men's plus.

That's not true. They tried to set up women's clothing like mens, back in the 20
s. Thing is, men are built similarly - triangle - and are able to use the waist/
length method for purchasing off the rack.
When they did the same for women, it didn't work. The difference in body shape f
or a woman who carries in her stomach versus her ass is night and day. It also d
oesn't help that men wear 2 pieces always, whereas women (especially then) wore
a lot of dresses.
But it doesn't have to do with "getting away with" - they did try to standardize
the women's size.

Well, some 3/4 of their merchandise is for women(this includes female children)
anyway, not that I really give a fuck because I mainly wear jeans and tshirts an

Would I like a few more options? Yes. Is there much of a market in that one stor
e for those options, probably not- a quick look at the closets of every female r
elative of mine shows that they each have at least 3x the amount of clothing by
volume as me, going much longer before they "cycle through". Most of them are bu
ying these clothes of their own accord, so it stands to reason that it's not as
profitable under the current system to stock as much clothing for men as women.

Well, men don't have boobs, so that helps reduce body variations.
Other than that, men generally care about the "drop" between shoulders and waist
. This can vary a lot between fat guys, skinny-fat guys, lean athletic guys, and
built guys. I'm almost at the point where even "athletic" cuts don't quite have
enough drop and look kind of billowy on me, and I'm not even built. Actually bi

Women have relative variations in circumference around their boobs, waist and hi
ps. There's also variations in hips vs leg length.
Whereas men, if they are wider or longer around one of these areas, they are gen
erally wider or longer around all three.
Generally speaking, there are exceptions.
This is not probably not enough to explain all of the size difference in terms o
f men's clothing vs women's clothing, but it's certainly a factor.

Anecdotally men's sizes are generally S/M/L/XL and then you add a few X's for th

I'm fairly certain most women's clothing have arbitrary size cut offs, because A
bercrombie and Fitch doesn't want fat chicks wearing their clothes. There's not
as much stigma for fat guys, so brands are willing to make extra or double extra
large.

Correct, many many upscale stores do not offer larger sizes for women, and imo i
t's a financial decision on their part, nothing more. It works the other way too
. When I shopped at Walmart, they did not have women's dress slacks in my size b
ecause I was too small. Women my size don't shop at (that) Walmart often enough
to make it worth carrying a size smaller than 6. Also, they didn't sell dress sl
acks for little girls, so I had to purchase little boy's dress slacks. Normally
I don't buy dress slacks at Walmart but I had a... pants emergency.

That basically is why there are separate garments in each section. There are som
e crossover garments that are available in XS through whatever number of XL, but
not all regular ones can be cut to suit a larger frame. So there's a separate s
election.
They're separate for the sake of ease in shopping.

6'8" chubby guy here. Mens sections RARELY have over XL size shirts, and they NE
VER, EVER, EVER have 2XL AND tall styles. I can get a 3XL shirt and have it be 3
feet too wide, BUT have the length for the shirt to cover my freaking stomach,
OR go with a nicer-fitting 2XL and look like a belly-dancer.
It doesn't matter overall though, because 99% of stores, as I said, don't go ove
r XL.
And don't you even fucking get me started on shoes.. the pair I have right now h
ave holes in them because I just simply don't want to go through the months-long
process of having shoes shipped to you to try them on, and ship them back when
they aren't good enough just to order another pair to try (And yes I can just or
der many pairs in bulk at once and ship back the rest you don't want, but compan
ies hate this and will try and fuck you over if you do this to them in my experi
ence.. "Oh, you want to order 15 pairs and send back 14!? yeah thats a restockin

Typical stores have 4 sizes of mens shirts (S-XL) and an assortment of pants usu
ally ranging from 28-40 waist and 30-38 inseam with an assortment of combination
s of waist/inseam with some styles that change the fit.
When you get into larger sizes they just start adding X's. I've litterally seen
"XXXXXL" printed on a tag, and I held up the shirt and it was about the size of
a bed sheet. It was right next to the M-L shirts I was shopping for, they were j
ust out of the sizes in-between.
Women don't want this setup. They don't want to see their XXXXXL equivalent next
to a XS/S/M shirt because they can see the discrepancy. They want to be guided
to their section where things fit, and see all the other clothes that are close
to the size they can fit into. It falls right into the vanity sizing mindset for
women's clothes.
I'll put it this way. Would you rather be told you're a 4XL or that you're a Rel
axed Fit Medium? Guys generally don't care, and women do. Which is why they call
it out that way.

It's frustrating that "vanity sizing" has crept over to men's clothing. It used
to be so easy to find a pair of pants that fit. Once I knew my inseam and waist
size, I could pick out a pair without even having to try it on. Now, I have to g
o to the fitting room with tower of jeans ranging in size from 28x30 to 34x32 ju
st to find something that fits right - and every brand is different so it's not
like you can just count on the size you got last time.
The whole point of putting numbers on the jeans was to make shopping easy! I'm a
man. I don't care if my clothes literally call me a fat ass while I put them on
if it means I can be in and out of the store in five minutes!

en's clothing that are plus sizes actually fit quite differently so you can't ju
st get the same style and add a few inches here and there and hope it looks good
. Girls who wear plus sizes are looking for different styles as well. Women's cl

shirts and pants.

I really don't get it. I think big dudes need to lose weight just as much as I t
hink big women do. I suppose I discriminate equally.
But on a more serious note: being overweight is bad for you. Especially later in
life. My great-aunt spent her last 15 years more or less unable to leave home.
My grandmother has hit the same problem. And now I'm worried that my mother is s
tarting to gain a lot of weight as she gets close to her 60s, and looking at wha
t she eats, it's blatantly obvious as to why. I'm not hating on my mother. But I
wish she would eat less and carry out a more healthy life-style especially beca
use she knows very well how miserable her own aunts later years were. If all thr
ee examples here were women, it's merely coincidence. My father is still thin as
a rake and still very active, as was his, and my grandfather on my mothers side
passed long ago.
If someone in our family is overweight we should try to help them, and if we are
ourselves, we should accept help offered.

Hey, as someone with PTSD I can explain what a trigger is like for me. I can be
just going about my business and I might smell something that reminds me of the
incident, and suddenly I'll be right back there feeling trapped and scared and a
nxious. Fight or flight kicks in. There are images of it happening in my mind. I
can't control it. And that's probably minor compared to what other people with
PTSD can experience.
Genuine triggers are awful. Purposely triggering someone (people actually do tha
t) is a fucking shitty thing to do. I think tumblr has trivialised the term "tri
gger" to the point where people with PTSD don't get taken seriously because they
get lumped in with the ones who take advantage of the term.
There should be a new term for PTSD survivors. "Trigger warning" has been corrup
ted. It's too vague. Something like "flashback warning" would be better.
People with PTSD genuinely need trigger (or flashback) warnings, it's not a joke
. A bad trigger can push someone over the edge.

Fat men will generally look fine in the same clothes as skinny men, provided the

Men get a small range of sizes, and mostly terrible fitting clothing; women get
a much larger amount of sizes and two separate sections for the larger and the s
maller. Just chill out and try to see it from other perspectives besides just yo
ur own. I mean have you seen how ill-fitting clothing is for men unless they buy
specialty or get it tailored? We have S, M, L, XL, XXL, XXXL. And if you're not
one of those specific measurements that define one of the 6 main sizes, then yo
u're going to be between them and either have way too tight clothing, or way too
loose clothing. Take it from a guy who grew up constantly in-between sizes and
looking fat in everything. Oh and if you're too embarassed to shop for larger cl
othing, then you're just perpetuating "fat-shaming" and not practicing what you
preach about body pride. Don't like shopping for bigger clothes? Put in the work
to make your body smaller or get over it.

Fat men also have more variety at standard stores. I've seen Old Navy push well
into the high 40 waists.
The problem is that it's a double standard. There is an infinitely higher bias t
oward overweight women than overweight men.
Both lifestyles are unhealthy, but unless you've been a fatty you don't understa
nd the struggle it takes to get away from there.
Food is a fucker and is an easy, shitty solution to many problems. I've been gui
lty for eating my feelings, especially those times where my weight has already b
een high. It's a lot easier to grab a DQ blizzard than it is to pull yourself up
and go get help.
It's taken me almost 40 years to change my mindset into a healthy one. I fucking
loved food. It's not an easy shift, especially if you've been raised to eat unh
ealthy.
Like when I quit smoking, it had to come from inside. And one thing I can tell y

ou is alienating overweight people isn't the solution. Pretending it doesn't exi


st or basically funnelling overweight people into "fat" stores also doesn't help
. It doesn't do great things to ones self esteem to have to go out of your way a
nd shop at these kinds of stores.

I find that the problem with food obsession/binging is somewhat different to mos

around it, unless you live off an IV (can you do that?).

I didn't really want to respond, but this really bothered me. It's very narrow v
iew.
It's not always a matter of campaigning for an unhealthy lifestyle. You have to
dress for the body you have.
Shopping at a Big & Tall is a much different experience than shopping at stores
specifically targeted at plus size women (although options have improved greatly
for them over the years.) Many of thedr specialty stores have been known to cat
er towards an older demographic. The reality is there are younger women who are
plus size that want to wear the same trends their friends are wearing (prints, c
olors, silhouettes.) Just because a woman is a size 20 does not mean she only wa
nts to wear leopard prints and ruffles.
Also, keep in mind men's fashion and women's fashion are judged on different spe
ctrums. For instance, the male anchor who wore the same suit for a year.
Yes, obesity is an epidemic in America, but that doesn't mean they should be mar
ginalized.
Clothing is a fun means of expression for many people. If a person wants to patr
on a store and that store wants to cater to them what does it matter?

I never really thought about that. It sort of does show the difference in how of

as there are people who fit the big+tall category, so that'll probably never ha
ppen. But dammit, I want more options for 30x34/30x36 pants!
EDIT: I feel like I'm working at Old Navy again.
Double Edit: I've never seen a Big and Tall store that carries pants that are 30

Old navy has been getting some negative lime light over their plus side clothing
recently. Apparently, they charge more for a larger size of the same item in wo
men's clothing (not so for men's).

I get why plus sizes get there own category. If a big girl is checking out a sto
re for the first time, they want to know quickly if they might have something in
their size. That doesn't really explain why their category is wider on that pag
e...
Guys, look at it like this. You go to a parts web site looking for a distributor
for your '53 Hudson Hornet. Would you rather sift through all of the distributo

rs before you discover that they only carry Ford and Chevy parts? Nope, you want
to see a link to "Hudson engine parts" and get down to business. No mention of
Hudson, you go to the next site.
My wife is a big girl and she gets damn frustrated when she sees something she l
ikes, chooses a color and then finds that it isn't available in plus size.
Before you give women too much shit about "enabling an unhealthy lifestyle" you
should also understand that in the clothing industry 'plus size' does not necess
arily mean 400lb folks.

The only legitimate reason I can think of is that the majority of Old Navy custo
mers are plus sized women. Whenever we get a shipment of a product, there are al
most double the amount of larger sizes. Maybe they were trying to give more obvi
ous access to clothing for their (literally) biggest consumer. Gap Inc is usuall
y very literal with their advertisment (eg. Gap toothed women as models for a lo
t of their posters)

It's all marketing. Nothing else would match well with "women's plus" (except if

Their responsive design is very grid based and they organized the sets into the
three pars; adults, kids, toddlers. There is no plus men's category so this sing
le category either had to take up two grid positions or go to the bottom as a si
ngle grid otherwise it would mess up their side by side organization. Regardless

A Canadian is born in the midst of a long and cold winter's night, when the spir

e out scores Beaver, a boy is born. If Beaver beats Moose, a girl is born. Then
Grandfather Maple takes the child to Seal Fur Woman, who teaches the child its n
ame, the Canadian national anthem, and bestows upon it a love of gravy on French
fries. After that, a worthy Canadian couple, who have proven themselves fortudi
nous by surviving the harsh winter and Stephen Harper's roaming squad of attack
kittens in sweater vests, apologized profusely for all the fuss and is allowed t

Another possibility is that the plus size girl would fill the entirety of the fr
ame in the normal grid size, making her size easier to compare to the other grid
s, and by comparison actually appear larger than she really is.
By giving her a larger frame size, and thus more white space on each side, it co
uld have a bit of a slimming effect compared to the others.
Not sure how well all that works though here, just some design theory i pulled o

I'm no expert, but my guess is that it has something to do with women's style be
ing tighter fitting. Whereas the relatively loose fitting pants worn by men can
accommodate legs of varying widths, with only the waist and length varying great
ly, the tight fitting pants worn by women are far less versatile. It's not hard
to imagine how manufacturing clothes for women is far more costly than it is for
men. Considering this along with the greater demand among the fairer sex for st
ylish clothing, I think we arrive at at least a plausible explanation for why th
ere is a women's plus and not a men's plus.

That's not true. They tried to set up women's clothing like mens, back in the 20
s. Thing is, men are built similarly - triangle - and are able to use the waist/
length method for purchasing off the rack.
When they did the same for women, it didn't work. The difference in body shape f
or a woman who carries in her stomach versus her ass is night and day. It also d
oesn't help that men wear 2 pieces always, whereas women (especially then) wore
a lot of dresses.
But it doesn't have to do with "getting away with" - they did try to standardize

Well, some 3/4 of their merchandise is for women(this includes female children)

Would I like a few more options? Yes. Is there much of a market in that one stor
e for those options, probably not- a quick look at the closets of every female r
elative of mine shows that they each have at least 3x the amount of clothing by
volume as me, going much longer before they "cycle through". Most of them are bu

profitable under the current system to stock as much clothing for men as women.

built guys. I'm almost at the point where even "athletic" cuts don't quite have
enough drop and look kind of billowy on me, and I'm not even built. Actually bi

Women have relative variations in circumference around their boobs, waist and hi

Whereas men, if they are wider or longer around one of these areas, they are gen
erally wider or longer around all three.
Generally speaking, there are exceptions.
This is not probably not enough to explain all of the size difference in terms o

Typical stores have 4 sizes of mens shirts (S-XL) and an assortment of pants usu
ally ranging from 28-40 waist and 30-38 inseam with an assortment of combination
s of waist/inseam with some styles that change the fit.
When you get into larger sizes they just start adding X's. I've litterally seen
"XXXXXL" printed on a tag, and I held up the shirt and it was about the size of
a bed sheet. It was right next to the M-L shirts I was shopping for, they were j
ust out of the sizes in-between.
Women don't want this setup. They don't want to see their XXXXXL equivalent next
to a XS/S/M shirt because they can see the discrepancy. They want to be guided
to their section where things fit, and see all the other clothes that are close
to the size they can fit into. It falls right into the vanity sizing mindset for
women's clothes.
I'll put it this way. Would you rather be told you're a 4XL or that you're a Rel
axed Fit Medium? Guys generally don't care, and women do. Which is why they call
it out that way.

[ ]Tattis 26 points 6 hours ago
It's frustrating that "vanity sizing" has crept over to men's clothing. It used
to be so easy to find a pair of pants that fit. Once I knew my inseam and waist
size, I could pick out a pair without even having to try it on. Now, I have to g
o to the fitting room with tower of jeans ranging in size from 28x30 to 34x32 ju
st to find something that fits right - and every brand is different so it's not
like you can just count on the size you got last time.
The whole point of putting numbers on the jeans was to make shopping easy! I'm a
man. I don't care if my clothes literally call me a fat ass while I put them on
if it means I can be in and out of the store in five minutes!

My god this. I came home from my last trip and needed a few new pairs of dress p
ants, and my family offered to buy them. I knew my measurements and gave them to
them. Surprise! None of them truly fit. 1 pair was skin tight and the other two
were unbutton-able. It's insane!

I used to be a buyer in women's fashion so I can explain this quite easily. Ther
e is no agenda to make females feel bad. You are our customers we want you to fe
el good. Other than that woman's fashion companies produce clothing in only smal
l medium and large for the most part because it's cheaper to produce them that w
ay. By adding in another size you're adding a huge amount of inventory. Also wom
en's clothing that are plus sizes actually fit quite differently so you can't ju
st get the same style and add a few inches here and there and hope it looks good
. Girls who wear plus sizes are looking for different styles as well. Women's cl
othing have much more variety in styles where as men's sections are pretty much
shirts and pants.

I really don't get it. I think big dudes need to lose weight just as much as I t
hink big women do. I suppose I discriminate equally.
But on a more serious note: being overweight is bad for you. Especially later in
life. My great-aunt spent her last 15 years more or less unable to leave home.
My grandmother has hit the same problem. And now I'm worried that my mother is s
tarting to gain a lot of weight as she gets close to her 60s, and looking at wha
t she eats, it's blatantly obvious as to why. I'm not hating on my mother. But I
wish she would eat less and carry out a more healthy life-style especially beca
use she knows very well how miserable her own aunts later years were. If all thr
ee examples here were women, it's merely coincidence. My father is still thin as
a rake and still very active, as was his, and my grandfather on my mothers side
passed long ago.
If someone in our family is overweight we should try to help them, and if we are
ourselves, we should accept help offered.

Sure. Triggers in real life are things that can trigger a negative flashback or

words or things can trigger them to have a panic attack. It really just boils d

When I was in treatment for my eating disorder, a "trigger" was something that t

When something, whether it be words, images, a person, etc... causes (triggers)
someone to re-experience a traumatic memory. Example: rape victims sometimes bec
ome incredibly anxious when their rapist enters the room, or fireworks can set o
ff flashbacks for soldiers with PTSD.
Yes, sometimes people feel uncomfortable around criticism and call it a "trigger
" to shut down conversation, but I think many triggers are legitimate. Reddit do
esn't seem to think that's the case.

Hey, as someone with PTSD I can explain what a trigger is like for me. I can be
just going about my business and I might smell something that reminds me of the
incident, and suddenly I'll be right back there feeling trapped and scared and a
nxious. Fight or flight kicks in. There are images of it happening in my mind. I
can't control it. And that's probably minor compared to what other people with
PTSD can experience.
Genuine triggers are awful. Purposely triggering someone (people actually do tha
t) is a fucking shitty thing to do. I think tumblr has trivialised the term "tri
gger" to the point where people with PTSD don't get taken seriously because they
get lumped in with the ones who take advantage of the term.
There should be a new term for PTSD survivors. "Trigger warning" has been corrup
ted. It's too vague. Something like "flashback warning" would be better.
People with PTSD genuinely need trigger (or flashback) warnings, it's not a joke
. A bad trigger can push someone over the edge.

Fat men will generally look fine in the same clothes as skinny men, provided the
y are sized properly. Normal women's clothes will look terrible on a "plus size"
woman, because women's clothes are designed for certain body types. Men's cloth
es are more generic.

Or you could say that fat women get their specific section with clothes tailored
to them. Fat men have to go to a big and tall store to really get anything dece

Or, maybe you just want to be offended and you don't really even know what's goi

Old Navy carry mens' sizes in up to XXXL shirts and 48 inch waist jeans. The "pl

heir own section whereas larger men just use the regular mens section.

Plus size clothes are labeled either XXL, XXXL etc., or 1X, 2X, etc. They're sol
d in the Plus size or Missed section, but it's not like they're sold as "Plus si
ze small". Don't worry, fat women certainly aren't coddled or told they are beau
tiful by retailers.
Additionally, the clothes are usually far uglier than the cute skinny people clo

Men get a small range of sizes, and mostly terrible fitting clothing; women get
a much larger amount of sizes and two separate sections for the larger and the s
maller. Just chill out and try to see it from other perspectives besides just yo
ur own. I mean have you seen how ill-fitting clothing is for men unless they buy
specialty or get it tailored? We have S, M, L, XL, XXL, XXXL. And if you're not
one of those specific measurements that define one of the 6 main sizes, then yo
u're going to be between them and either have way too tight clothing, or way too
loose clothing. Take it from a guy who grew up constantly in-between sizes and
looking fat in everything. Oh and if you're too embarassed to shop for larger cl
othing, then you're just perpetuating "fat-shaming" and not practicing what you
preach about body pride. Don't like shopping for bigger clothes? Put in the work
to make your body smaller or get over it.

Fat men also have more variety at standard stores. I've seen Old Navy push well
into the high 40 waists.
The problem is that it's a double standard. There is an infinitely higher bias t
oward overweight women than overweight men.
Both lifestyles are unhealthy, but unless you've been a fatty you don't understa
nd the struggle it takes to get away from there.
Food is a fucker and is an easy, shitty solution to many problems. I've been gui
lty for eating my feelings, especially those times where my weight has already b
een high. It's a lot easier to grab a DQ blizzard than it is to pull yourself up
and go get help.
It's taken me almost 40 years to change my mindset into a healthy one. I fucking
loved food. It's not an easy shift, especially if you've been raised to eat unh
ealthy.
Like when I quit smoking, it had to come from inside. And one thing I can tell y
ou is alienating overweight people isn't the solution. Pretending it doesn't exi
st or basically funnelling overweight people into "fat" stores also doesn't help
. It doesn't do great things to ones self esteem to have to go out of your way a
nd shop at these kinds of stores.

I find that the problem with food obsession/binging is somewhat different to mos

around it, unless you live off an IV (can you do that?).

I didn't really want to respond, but this really bothered me. It's very narrow v
iew.
It's not always a matter of campaigning for an unhealthy lifestyle. You have to
dress for the body you have.
Shopping at a Big & Tall is a much different experience than shopping at stores
specifically targeted at plus size women (although options have improved greatly
for them over the years.) Many of thedr specialty stores have been known to cat
er towards an older demographic. The reality is there are younger women who are
plus size that want to wear the same trends their friends are wearing (prints, c
olors, silhouettes.) Just because a woman is a size 20 does not mean she only wa
nts to wear leopard prints and ruffles.
Also, keep in mind men's fashion and women's fashion are judged on different spe
ctrums. For instance, the male anchor who wore the same suit for a year.
Yes, obesity is an epidemic in America, but that doesn't mean they should be mar
ginalized.
Clothing is a fun means of expression for many people. If a person wants to patr
on a store and that store wants to cater to them what does it matter?

I never really thought about that. It sort of does show the difference in how of

as there are people who fit the big+tall category, so that'll probably never ha

EDIT: I feel like I'm working at Old Navy again.
Double Edit: I've never seen a Big and Tall store that carries pants that are 30

It's all marketing. Nothing else would match well with "women's plus" (except if
there was a "men's plus") Regardless, it's matched by pairs. "Man" and "women"
look better side by side than "man" and "women's plus".

Their responsive design is very grid based and they organized the sets into the
three pars; adults, kids, toddlers. There is no plus men's category so this sing

A Canadian is born in the midst of a long and cold winter's night, when the spir
its of Moose and Beaver are taken by Grandfather Maple to a hockey rink. If Moos
e out scores Beaver, a boy is born. If Beaver beats Moose, a girl is born. Then
Grandfather Maple takes the child to Seal Fur Woman, who teaches the child its n
ame, the Canadian national anthem, and bestows upon it a love of gravy on French
fries. After that, a worthy Canadian couple, who have proven themselves fortudi
nous by surviving the harsh winter and Stephen Harper's roaming squad of attack
kittens in sweater vests, apologized profusely for all the fuss and is allowed t
o adopt the child from Grandfather Maple.

Another possibility is that the plus size girl would fill the entirety of the fr
ame in the normal grid size, making her size easier to compare to the other grid
s, and by comparison actually appear larger than she really is.
By giving her a larger frame size, and thus more white space on each side, it co
uld have a bit of a slimming effect compared to the others.
Not sure how well all that works though here, just some design theory i pulled o
ut of my ass.

I'm no expert, but my guess is that it has something to do with women's style be
ing tighter fitting. Whereas the relatively loose fitting pants worn by men can
accommodate legs of varying widths, with only the waist and length varying great
ly, the tight fitting pants worn by women are far less versatile. It's not hard
to imagine how manufacturing clothes for women is far more costly than it is for
men. Considering this along with the greater demand among the fairer sex for st
ylish clothing, I think we arrive at at least a plausible explanation for why th
ere is a women's plus and not a men's plus.

That's not true. They tried to set up women's clothing like mens, back in the 20
s. Thing is, men are built similarly - triangle - and are able to use the waist/
length method for purchasing off the rack.
When they did the same for women, it didn't work. The difference in body shape f
or a woman who carries in her stomach versus her ass is night and day. It also d
oesn't help that men wear 2 pieces always, whereas women (especially then) wore
a lot of dresses.
But it doesn't have to do with "getting away with" - they did try to standardize
the women's size.

Well, some 3/4 of their merchandise is for women(this includes female children)
anyway, not that I really give a fuck because I mainly wear jeans and tshirts an
yway.
Would I like a few more options? Yes. Is there much of a market in that one stor
e for those options, probably not- a quick look at the closets of every female r
elative of mine shows that they each have at least 3x the amount of clothing by
volume as me, going much longer before they "cycle through". Most of them are bu
ying these clothes of their own accord, so it stands to reason that it's not as
profitable under the current system to stock as much clothing for men as women.
I'll take my long-sleeved shirts, thank you.

Well, men don't have boobs, so that helps reduce body variations.
Other than that, men generally care about the "drop" between shoulders and waist
. This can vary a lot between fat guys, skinny-fat guys, lean athletic guys, and
built guys. I'm almost at the point where even "athletic" cuts don't quite have
enough drop and look kind of billowy on me, and I'm not even built. Actually bi

Women have relative variations in circumference around their boobs, waist and hi
ps. There's also variations in hips vs leg length.
Whereas men, if they are wider or longer around one of these areas, they are gen
erally wider or longer around all three.
Generally speaking, there are exceptions.
This is not probably not enough to explain all of the size difference in terms o
f men's clothing vs women's clothing, but it's certainly a factor.

I don't really know if there's a way to quantitatively answer that question.
Maybe standard deviation of men's waist/inseam/whatever vs. women's. But I don't

Anecdotally men's sizes are generally S/M/L/XL and then you add a few X's for th

Correct, many many upscale stores do not offer larger sizes for women, and imo i

. When I shopped at Walmart, they did not have women's dress slacks in my size b
ecause I was too small. Women my size don't shop at (that) Walmart often enough
to make it worth carrying a size smaller than 6. Also, they didn't sell dress sl

I don't buy dress slacks at Walmart but I had a... pants emergency.

Typical stores have 4 sizes of mens shirts (S-XL) and an assortment of pants usu
ally ranging from 28-40 waist and 30-38 inseam with an assortment of combination
s of waist/inseam with some styles that change the fit.
When you get into larger sizes they just start adding X's. I've litterally seen
"XXXXXL" printed on a tag, and I held up the shirt and it was about the size of
a bed sheet. It was right next to the M-L shirts I was shopping for, they were j
ust out of the sizes in-between.

Women don't want this setup. They don't want to see their XXXXXL equivalent next
to a XS/S/M shirt because they can see the discrepancy. They want to be guided
to their section where things fit, and see all the other clothes that are close
to the size they can fit into. It falls right into the vanity sizing mindset for
women's clothes.
I'll put it this way. Would you rather be told you're a 4XL or that you're a Rel
axed Fit Medium? Guys generally don't care, and women do. Which is why they call
it out that way.

The whole point of putting numbers on the jeans was to make shopping easy! I'm a

en's clothing that are plus sizes actually fit quite differently so you can't ju

I really don't get it. I think big dudes need to lose weight just as much as I t

But on a more serious note: being overweight is bad for you. Especially later in
life. My great-aunt spent her last 15 years more or less unable to leave home.
My grandmother has hit the same problem. And now I'm worried that my mother is s
tarting to gain a lot of weight as she gets close to her 60s, and looking at wha
t she eats, it's blatantly obvious as to why. I'm not hating on my mother. But I
wish she would eat less and carry out a more healthy life-style especially beca
use she knows very well how miserable her own aunts later years were. If all thr
ee examples here were women, it's merely coincidence. My father is still thin as
a rake and still very active, as was his, and my grandfather on my mothers side
passed long ago.
If someone in our family is overweight we should try to help them, and if we are
ourselves, we should accept help offered.

When I was in treatment for my eating disorder, a "trigger" was something that t
riggered your unhealthy behavior. Like, going to the grocery store was a trigger
for me because of the laxative section. It was very difficult for me to stay aw
ay from it. Hopefully that makes sense?

When something, whether it be words, images, a person, etc... causes (triggers)
someone to re-experience a traumatic memory. Example: rape victims sometimes bec
ome incredibly anxious when their rapist enters the room, or fireworks can set o
ff flashbacks for soldiers with PTSD.
Yes, sometimes people feel uncomfortable around criticism and call it a "trigger
" to shut down conversation, but I think many triggers are legitimate. Reddit do
esn't seem to think that's the case.

It really shouldn't be socially acceptable though because it pretty much makes a
mockery of people who actually have PTSD because they've experienced more horro

Hey, as someone with PTSD I can explain what a trigger is like for me. I can be
just going about my business and I might smell something that reminds me of the
incident, and suddenly I'll be right back there feeling trapped and scared and a
nxious. Fight or flight kicks in. There are images of it happening in my mind. I
can't control it. And that's probably minor compared to what other people with
PTSD can experience.
Genuine triggers are awful. Purposely triggering someone (people actually do tha
t) is a fucking shitty thing to do. I think tumblr has trivialised the term "tri
gger" to the point where people with PTSD don't get taken seriously because they
get lumped in with the ones who take advantage of the term.
There should be a new term for PTSD survivors. "Trigger warning" has been corrup
ted. It's too vague. Something like "flashback warning" would be better.
People with PTSD genuinely need trigger (or flashback) warnings, it's not a joke
. A bad trigger can push someone over the edge.

Men get a small range of sizes, and mostly terrible fitting clothing; women get
a much larger amount of sizes and two separate sections for the larger and the s
maller. Just chill out and try to see it from other perspectives besides just yo
ur own. I mean have you seen how ill-fitting clothing is for men unless they buy
specialty or get it tailored? We have S, M, L, XL, XXL, XXXL. And if you're not
one of those specific measurements that define one of the 6 main sizes, then yo
u're going to be between them and either have way too tight clothing, or way too
loose clothing. Take it from a guy who grew up constantly in-between sizes and
looking fat in everything. Oh and if you're too embarassed to shop for larger cl
othing, then you're just perpetuating "fat-shaming" and not practicing what you
preach about body pride. Don't like shopping for bigger clothes? Put in the work
to make your body smaller or get over it.

Fat men also have more variety at standard stores. I've seen Old Navy push well
into the high 40 waists.
The problem is that it's a double standard. There is an infinitely higher bias t
oward overweight women than overweight men.
Both lifestyles are unhealthy, but unless you've been a fatty you don't understa
nd the struggle it takes to get away from there.
Food is a fucker and is an easy, shitty solution to many problems. I've been gui
lty for eating my feelings, especially those times where my weight has already b
een high. It's a lot easier to grab a DQ blizzard than it is to pull yourself up
and go get help.
It's taken me almost 40 years to change my mindset into a healthy one. I fucking
loved food. It's not an easy shift, especially if you've been raised to eat unh
ealthy.
Like when I quit smoking, it had to come from inside. And one thing I can tell y
ou is alienating overweight people isn't the solution. Pretending it doesn't exi
st or basically funnelling overweight people into "fat" stores also doesn't help
. It doesn't do great things to ones self esteem to have to go out of your way a

It's not always a matter of campaigning for an unhealthy lifestyle. You have to
dress for the body you have.
Shopping at a Big & Tall is a much different experience than shopping at stores
specifically targeted at plus size women (although options have improved greatly
for them over the years.) Many of thedr specialty stores have been known to cat

er towards an older demographic. The reality is there are younger women who are
plus size that want to wear the same trends their friends are wearing (prints, c
olors, silhouettes.) Just because a woman is a size 20 does not mean she only wa
nts to wear leopard prints and ruffles.
Also, keep in mind men's fashion and women's fashion are judged on different spe
ctrums. For instance, the male anchor who wore the same suit for a year.
Yes, obesity is an epidemic in America, but that doesn't mean they should be mar
ginalized.
Clothing is a fun means of expression for many people. If a person wants to patr
on a store and that store wants to cater to them what does it matter?

instead of campaigning to normalize unhealthy lifestyles.
To be fair, while most plus sizes can be considered unhealthy, in some stores, t
he plus sizes start at a somewhat healthy weight.

I never really thought about that. It sort of does show the difference in how of
fended sexes get over their perceived size. I do wish there would be a thin+tall
store though. There probably aren't nearly as many people who fit that category
as there are people who fit the big+tall category, so that'll probably never ha
ppen. But dammit, I want more options for 30x34/30x36 pants!
EDIT: I feel like I'm working at Old Navy again.
Double Edit: I've never seen a Big and Tall store that carries pants that are 30
x34/36. I've seen >32x34, but never my size. It's always geared toward either av
erage builds that are very tall, or average sized guys that are very fat.

I don't see how you could argue it is MORE of a euphemism.

I think this is partially because plus sized women's clothing needs to be design

I get why plus sizes get there own category. If a big girl is checking out a sto

their size. That doesn't really explain why their category is wider on that pag
e...
Guys, look at it like this. You go to a parts web site looking for a distributor
for your '53 Hudson Hornet. Would you rather sift through all of the distributo
rs before you discover that they only carry Ford and Chevy parts? Nope, you want
to see a link to "Hudson engine parts" and get down to business. No mention of
Hudson, you go to the next site.
My wife is a big girl and she gets damn frustrated when she sees something she l
ikes, chooses a color and then finds that it isn't available in plus size.
Before you give women too much shit about "enabling an unhealthy lifestyle" you
should also understand that in the clothing industry 'plus size' does not necess
arily mean 400lb folks.

The only legitimate reason I can think of is that the majority of Old Navy custo

most double the amount of larger sizes. Maybe they were trying to give more obvi

Their responsive design is very grid based and they organized the sets into the
three pars; adults, kids, toddlers. There is no plus men's category so this sing

A Canadian is born in the midst of a long and cold winter's night, when the spir
its of Moose and Beaver are taken by Grandfather Maple to a hockey rink. If Moos
e out scores Beaver, a boy is born. If Beaver beats Moose, a girl is born. Then
Grandfather Maple takes the child to Seal Fur Woman, who teaches the child its n
ame, the Canadian national anthem, and bestows upon it a love of gravy on French
fries. After that, a worthy Canadian couple, who have proven themselves fortudi
nous by surviving the harsh winter and Stephen Harper's roaming squad of attack
kittens in sweater vests, apologized profusely for all the fuss and is allowed t
o adopt the child from Grandfather Maple.

Another possibility is that the plus size girl would fill the entirety of the fr
ame in the normal grid size, making her size easier to compare to the other grid
s, and by comparison actually appear larger than she really is.
By giving her a larger frame size, and thus more white space on each side, it co
uld have a bit of a slimming effect compared to the others.
Not sure how well all that works though here, just some design theory i pulled o

I'm no expert, but my guess is that it has something to do with women's style be
ing tighter fitting. Whereas the relatively loose fitting pants worn by men can
accommodate legs of varying widths, with only the waist and length varying great
ly, the tight fitting pants worn by women are far less versatile. It's not hard
to imagine how manufacturing clothes for women is far more costly than it is for
men. Considering this along with the greater demand among the fairer sex for st
ylish clothing, I think we arrive at at least a plausible explanation for why th
ere is a women's plus and not a men's plus.

That's not true. They tried to set up women's clothing like mens, back in the 20
s. Thing is, men are built similarly - triangle - and are able to use the waist/
length method for purchasing off the rack.
When they did the same for women, it didn't work. The difference in body shape f
or a woman who carries in her stomach versus her ass is night and day. It also d
oesn't help that men wear 2 pieces always, whereas women (especially then) wore
a lot of dresses.
But it doesn't have to do with "getting away with" - they did try to standardize
the women's size.

Well, some 3/4 of their merchandise is for women(this includes female children)
anyway, not that I really give a fuck because I mainly wear jeans and tshirts an

Would I like a few more options? Yes. Is there much of a market in that one stor
e for those options, probably not- a quick look at the closets of every female r
elative of mine shows that they each have at least 3x the amount of clothing by
volume as me, going much longer before they "cycle through". Most of them are bu
ying these clothes of their own accord, so it stands to reason that it's not as
profitable under the current system to stock as much clothing for men as women.

of their excess weight (through diet snd exercise - aka the healthy, progressive
way) are 55-65% less likely to experience depression symptoms; 80-92% reported
overall quality of life improvements that they called very significant.

permalinkparent
[ ]PigDog4 15 points 6 hours ago
Well, men don't have boobs, so that helps reduce body variations.
Other than that, men generally care about the "drop" between shoulders and waist
. This can vary a lot between fat guys, skinny-fat guys, lean athletic guys, and
built guys. I'm almost at the point where even "athletic" cuts don't quite have
enough drop and look kind of billowy on me, and I'm not even built. Actually bi
g dudes need to get almost everything tailored so it doesn't look like you're we
aring a garbage bag.

Women have relative variations in circumference around their boobs, waist and hi
ps. There's also variations in hips vs leg length.
Whereas men, if they are wider or longer around one of these areas, they are gen
erally wider or longer around all three.
Generally speaking, there are exceptions.
This is not probably not enough to explain all of the size difference in terms o
f men's clothing vs women's clothing, but it's certainly a factor.

I don't really know if there's a way to quantitatively answer that question.
Maybe standard deviation of men's waist/inseam/whatever vs. women's. But I don't

Anecdotally men's sizes are generally S/M/L/XL and then you add a few X's for th
e really big dudes. Whereas I doubt that any two girls who both wear a size 4 dr
ess look very similar in terms of body shape.

Correct, many many upscale stores do not offer larger sizes for women, and imo i
t's a financial decision on their part, nothing more. It works the other way too
. When I shopped at Walmart, they did not have women's dress slacks in my size b
ecause I was too small. Women my size don't shop at (that) Walmart often enough
to make it worth carrying a size smaller than 6. Also, they didn't sell dress sl
acks for little girls, so I had to purchase little boy's dress slacks. Normally
I don't buy dress slacks at Walmart but I had a... pants emergency.

6'8" chubby guy here. Mens sections RARELY have over XL size shirts, and they NE

feet too wide, BUT have the length for the shirt to cover my freaking stomach,
OR go with a nicer-fitting 2XL and look like a belly-dancer.
It doesn't matter overall though, because 99% of stores, as I said, don't go ove

And don't you even fucking get me started on shoes.. the pair I have right now h

Typical stores have 4 sizes of mens shirts (S-XL) and an assortment of pants usu
ally ranging from 28-40 waist and 30-38 inseam with an assortment of combination
s of waist/inseam with some styles that change the fit.
When you get into larger sizes they just start adding X's. I've litterally seen
"XXXXXL" printed on a tag, and I held up the shirt and it was about the size of
a bed sheet. It was right next to the M-L shirts I was shopping for, they were j
ust out of the sizes in-between.
Women don't want this setup. They don't want to see their XXXXXL equivalent next
to a XS/S/M shirt because they can see the discrepancy. They want to be guided
to their section where things fit, and see all the other clothes that are close
to the size they can fit into. It falls right into the vanity sizing mindset for
women's clothes.
I'll put it this way. Would you rather be told you're a 4XL or that you're a Rel
axed Fit Medium? Guys generally don't care, and women do. Which is why they call
it out that way.

It's frustrating that "vanity sizing" has crept over to men's clothing. It used

size, I could pick out a pair without even having to try it on. Now, I have to g
o to the fitting room with tower of jeans ranging in size from 28x30 to 34x32 ju
st to find something that fits right - and every brand is different so it's not
like you can just count on the size you got last time.
The whole point of putting numbers on the jeans was to make shopping easy! I'm a
man. I don't care if my clothes literally call me a fat ass while I put them on
if it means I can be in and out of the store in five minutes!

en's clothing that are plus sizes actually fit quite differently so you can't ju

shirts and pants.

I really don't get it. I think big dudes need to lose weight just as much as I t

But on a more serious note: being overweight is bad for you. Especially later in
life. My great-aunt spent her last 15 years more or less unable to leave home.
My grandmother has hit the same problem. And now I'm worried that my mother is s
tarting to gain a lot of weight as she gets close to her 60s, and looking at wha

t she eats, it's blatantly obvious as to why. I'm not hating on my mother. But I
wish she would eat less and carry out a more healthy life-style especially beca
use she knows very well how miserable her own aunts later years were. If all thr
ee examples here were women, it's merely coincidence. My father is still thin as
a rake and still very active, as was his, and my grandfather on my mothers side
passed long ago.
If someone in our family is overweight we should try to help them, and if we are
ourselves, we should accept help offered.

Hey, as someone with PTSD I can explain what a trigger is like for me. I can be
just going about my business and I might smell something that reminds me of the

incident, and suddenly I'll be right back there feeling trapped and scared and a
nxious. Fight or flight kicks in. There are images of it happening in my mind. I
can't control it. And that's probably minor compared to what other people with
PTSD can experience.
Genuine triggers are awful. Purposely triggering someone (people actually do tha
t) is a fucking shitty thing to do. I think tumblr has trivialised the term "tri
gger" to the point where people with PTSD don't get taken seriously because they
get lumped in with the ones who take advantage of the term.
There should be a new term for PTSD survivors. "Trigger warning" has been corrup
ted. It's too vague. Something like "flashback warning" would be better.
People with PTSD genuinely need trigger (or flashback) warnings, it's not a joke
. A bad trigger can push someone over the edge.

Men get a small range of sizes, and mostly terrible fitting clothing; women get
a much larger amount of sizes and two separate sections for the larger and the s
maller. Just chill out and try to see it from other perspectives besides just yo
ur own. I mean have you seen how ill-fitting clothing is for men unless they buy
specialty or get it tailored? We have S, M, L, XL, XXL, XXXL. And if you're not
one of those specific measurements that define one of the 6 main sizes, then yo
u're going to be between them and either have way too tight clothing, or way too
loose clothing. Take it from a guy who grew up constantly in-between sizes and
looking fat in everything. Oh and if you're too embarassed to shop for larger cl
othing, then you're just perpetuating "fat-shaming" and not practicing what you
preach about body pride. Don't like shopping for bigger clothes? Put in the work
to make your body smaller or get over it.

Fat men also have more variety at standard stores. I've seen Old Navy push well
into the high 40 waists.
The problem is that it's a double standard. There is an infinitely higher bias t
oward overweight women than overweight men.
Both lifestyles are unhealthy, but unless you've been a fatty you don't understa
nd the struggle it takes to get away from there.
Food is a fucker and is an easy, shitty solution to many problems. I've been gui
lty for eating my feelings, especially those times where my weight has already b
een high. It's a lot easier to grab a DQ blizzard than it is to pull yourself up
and go get help.
It's taken me almost 40 years to change my mindset into a healthy one. I fucking
loved food. It's not an easy shift, especially if you've been raised to eat unh
ealthy.
Like when I quit smoking, it had to come from inside. And one thing I can tell y
ou is alienating overweight people isn't the solution. Pretending it doesn't exi
st or basically funnelling overweight people into "fat" stores also doesn't help
. It doesn't do great things to ones self esteem to have to go out of your way a
nd shop at these kinds of stores.

I find that the problem with food obsession/binging is somewhat different to mos

around it, unless you live off an IV (can you do that?).

I didn't really want to respond, but this really bothered me. It's very narrow v

It's not always a matter of campaigning for an unhealthy lifestyle. You have to
dress for the body you have.
Shopping at a Big & Tall is a much different experience than shopping at stores
specifically targeted at plus size women (although options have improved greatly
for them over the years.) Many of thedr specialty stores have been known to cat
er towards an older demographic. The reality is there are younger women who are
plus size that want to wear the same trends their friends are wearing (prints, c
olors, silhouettes.) Just because a woman is a size 20 does not mean she only wa
nts to wear leopard prints and ruffles.
Also, keep in mind men's fashion and women's fashion are judged on different spe
ctrums. For instance, the male anchor who wore the same suit for a year.
Yes, obesity is an epidemic in America, but that doesn't mean they should be mar
ginalized.
Clothing is a fun means of expression for many people. If a person wants to patr
on a store and that store wants to cater to them what does it matter?

for anything, unless you would prefer they use the term "lamppost" to make sure
they aren't overusing euphemisms.

The weird part is, Old Navy DOES have a "Big and Tall" selection in their mens c
lothing, but you don't really see it until you click on the item you want to buy
.
But the womens stuff is separated out as a whole new category of "Womens Plus"
permalink
[ ]queenbrewer 21 points 5 hours ago
I think this is partially because plus sized women's clothing needs to be design
ed more differently than plus sized men's clothing, which usually is just larger
cuts of the same styles.

Yeah, most plus size models are heavy compared to regular models, but very propo
rtionate -- no massive bellies or super wide hips. But in real life, obese women
don't usually look like that.
permalinkparent
[ ]riggorous 3 points 2 hours ago
Plus models are typically 6 foot size 12's. That's in no way obese. Indeed, tall
women wearing the lower end of plus sizes aren't likely to be obese.

I get why plus sizes get there own category. If a big girl is checking out a sto
re for the first time, they want to know quickly if they might have something in
their size. That doesn't really explain why their category is wider on that pag
e...
Guys, look at it like this. You go to a parts web site looking for a distributor
for your '53 Hudson Hornet. Would you rather sift through all of the distributo
rs before you discover that they only carry Ford and Chevy parts? Nope, you want
to see a link to "Hudson engine parts" and get down to business. No mention of
Hudson, you go to the next site.
My wife is a big girl and she gets damn frustrated when she sees something she l
ikes, chooses a color and then finds that it isn't available in plus size.
Before you give women too much shit about "enabling an unhealthy lifestyle" you

should also understand that in the clothing industry 'plus size' does not necess
arily mean 400lb folks.

The only legitimate reason I can think of is that the majority of Old Navy custo
mers are plus sized women. Whenever we get a shipment of a product, there are al
most double the amount of larger sizes. Maybe they were trying to give more obvi
ous access to clothing for their (literally) biggest consumer. Gap Inc is usuall
y very literal with their advertisment (eg. Gap toothed women as models for a lo

It's all marketing. Nothing else would match well with "women's plus" (except if

A Canadian is born in the midst of a long and cold winter's night, when the spir

Grandfather Maple takes the child to Seal Fur Woman, who teaches the child its n

Another possibility is that the plus size girl would fill the entirety of the fr
ame in the normal grid size, making her size easier to compare to the other grid
s, and by comparison actually appear larger than she really is.
By giving her a larger frame size, and thus more white space on each side, it co
uld have a bit of a slimming effect compared to the others.
Not sure how well all that works though here, just some design theory i pulled o

I'm no expert, but my guess is that it has something to do with women's style be
ing tighter fitting. Whereas the relatively loose fitting pants worn by men can
accommodate legs of varying widths, with only the waist and length varying great
ly, the tight fitting pants worn by women are far less versatile. It's not hard
to imagine how manufacturing clothes for women is far more costly than it is for
men. Considering this along with the greater demand among the fairer sex for st
ylish clothing, I think we arrive at at least a plausible explanation for why th
ere is a women's plus and not a men's plus.

That's not true. They tried to set up women's clothing like mens, back in the 20
s. Thing is, men are built similarly - triangle - and are able to use the waist/
length method for purchasing off the rack.
When they did the same for women, it didn't work. The difference in body shape f
or a woman who carries in her stomach versus her ass is night and day. It also d
oesn't help that men wear 2 pieces always, whereas women (especially then) wore
a lot of dresses.
But it doesn't have to do with "getting away with" - they did try to standardize
the women's size.

Well, some 3/4 of their merchandise is for women(this includes female children)

Would I like a few more options? Yes. Is there much of a market in that one stor
e for those options, probably not- a quick look at the closets of every female r
elative of mine shows that they each have at least 3x the amount of clothing by
volume as me, going much longer before they "cycle through". Most of them are bu
ying these clothes of their own accord, so it stands to reason that it's not as
profitable under the current system to stock as much clothing for men as women.

Well, men don't have boobs, so that helps reduce body variations.
Other than that, men generally care about the "drop" between shoulders and waist

built guys. I'm almost at the point where even "athletic" cuts don't quite have
enough drop and look kind of billowy on me, and I'm not even built. Actually bi

Women have relative variations in circumference around their boobs, waist and hi
ps. There's also variations in hips vs leg length.
Whereas men, if they are wider or longer around one of these areas, they are gen
erally wider or longer around all three.
Generally speaking, there are exceptions.
This is not probably not enough to explain all of the size difference in terms o

to make it worth carrying a size smaller than 6. Also, they didn't sell dress sl

Typical stores have 4 sizes of mens shirts (S-XL) and an assortment of pants usu
ally ranging from 28-40 waist and 30-38 inseam with an assortment of combination
s of waist/inseam with some styles that change the fit.
When you get into larger sizes they just start adding X's. I've litterally seen
"XXXXXL" printed on a tag, and I held up the shirt and it was about the size of
a bed sheet. It was right next to the M-L shirts I was shopping for, they were j
ust out of the sizes in-between.
Women don't want this setup. They don't want to see their XXXXXL equivalent next
to a XS/S/M shirt because they can see the discrepancy. They want to be guided
to their section where things fit, and see all the other clothes that are close
to the size they can fit into. It falls right into the vanity sizing mindset for
women's clothes.
I'll put it this way. Would you rather be told you're a 4XL or that you're a Rel
axed Fit Medium? Guys generally don't care, and women do. Which is why they call
it out that way.

It's frustrating that "vanity sizing" has crept over to men's clothing. It used
to be so easy to find a pair of pants that fit. Once I knew my inseam and waist
size, I could pick out a pair without even having to try it on. Now, I have to g
o to the fitting room with tower of jeans ranging in size from 28x30 to 34x32 ju
st to find something that fits right - and every brand is different so it's not
like you can just count on the size you got last time.
The whole point of putting numbers on the jeans was to make shopping easy! I'm a
man. I don't care if my clothes literally call me a fat ass while I put them on
if it means I can be in and out of the store in five minutes!

I used to be a buyer in women's fashion so I can explain this quite easily. Ther

l medium and large for the most part because it's cheaper to produce them that w
ay. By adding in another size you're adding a huge amount of inventory. Also wom
en's clothing that are plus sizes actually fit quite differently so you can't ju
st get the same style and add a few inches here and there and hope it looks good
. Girls who wear plus sizes are looking for different styles as well. Women's cl
othing have much more variety in styles where as men's sections are pretty much
shirts and pants.

I really don't get it. I think big dudes need to lose weight just as much as I t
hink big women do. I suppose I discriminate equally.
But on a more serious note: being overweight is bad for you. Especially later in
life. My great-aunt spent her last 15 years more or less unable to leave home.
My grandmother has hit the same problem. And now I'm worried that my mother is s
tarting to gain a lot of weight as she gets close to her 60s, and looking at wha
t she eats, it's blatantly obvious as to why. I'm not hating on my mother. But I
wish she would eat less and carry out a more healthy life-style especially beca
use she knows very well how miserable her own aunts later years were. If all thr
ee examples here were women, it's merely coincidence. My father is still thin as
a rake and still very active, as was his, and my grandfather on my mothers side
passed long ago.
If someone in our family is overweight we should try to help them, and if we are
ourselves, we should accept help offered.

When something, whether it be words, images, a person, etc... causes (triggers)
someone to re-experience a traumatic memory. Example: rape victims sometimes bec

Hey, as someone with PTSD I can explain what a trigger is like for me. I can be
just going about my business and I might smell something that reminds me of the
incident, and suddenly I'll be right back there feeling trapped and scared and a
nxious. Fight or flight kicks in. There are images of it happening in my mind. I
can't control it. And that's probably minor compared to what other people with
PTSD can experience.
Genuine triggers are awful. Purposely triggering someone (people actually do tha
t) is a fucking shitty thing to do. I think tumblr has trivialised the term "tri
gger" to the point where people with PTSD don't get taken seriously because they
get lumped in with the ones who take advantage of the term.
There should be a new term for PTSD survivors. "Trigger warning" has been corrup
ted. It's too vague. Something like "flashback warning" would be better.
People with PTSD genuinely need trigger (or flashback) warnings, it's not a joke
. A bad trigger can push someone over the edge.

The plus size section sizes in XXL, XXXL etc., or 1X, 2X, etc. It's not "normali
zed" any more than men's larger clothes. On the contrary - they're also shunted
off to the back section of the store where the clothes are uglier and the choice
s are sparse.

I am 6'1" and 188 pounds. A few months ago I was 226 and wore size 38 waist. I c

I wasn't even that fat at the time and I couldn't find clothes at Old Navy. I we

Fat men will generally look fine in the same clothes as skinny men, provided the

woman, because women's clothes are designed for certain body types. Men's cloth

Plus size clothes are labeled either XXL, XXXL etc., or 1X, 2X, etc. They're sol

Additionally, the clothes are usually far uglier than the cute skinny people clo

Men get a small range of sizes, and mostly terrible fitting clothing; women get
a much larger amount of sizes and two separate sections for the larger and the s
maller. Just chill out and try to see it from other perspectives besides just yo

ur own. I mean have you seen how ill-fitting clothing is for men unless they buy
specialty or get it tailored? We have S, M, L, XL, XXL, XXXL. And if you're not
one of those specific measurements that define one of the 6 main sizes, then yo
u're going to be between them and either have way too tight clothing, or way too
loose clothing. Take it from a guy who grew up constantly in-between sizes and
looking fat in everything. Oh and if you're too embarassed to shop for larger cl
othing, then you're just perpetuating "fat-shaming" and not practicing what you
preach about body pride. Don't like shopping for bigger clothes? Put in the work
to make your body smaller or get over it.

Fat men also have more variety at standard stores. I've seen Old Navy push well
into the high 40 waists.
The problem is that it's a double standard. There is an infinitely higher bias t
oward overweight women than overweight men.
Both lifestyles are unhealthy, but unless you've been a fatty you don't understa
nd the struggle it takes to get away from there.
Food is a fucker and is an easy, shitty solution to many problems. I've been gui
lty for eating my feelings, especially those times where my weight has already b
een high. It's a lot easier to grab a DQ blizzard than it is to pull yourself up
and go get help.
It's taken me almost 40 years to change my mindset into a healthy one. I fucking
loved food. It's not an easy shift, especially if you've been raised to eat unh
ealthy.
Like when I quit smoking, it had to come from inside. And one thing I can tell y
ou is alienating overweight people isn't the solution. Pretending it doesn't exi
st or basically funnelling overweight people into "fat" stores also doesn't help
. It doesn't do great things to ones self esteem to have to go out of your way a
nd shop at these kinds of stores.

I find that the problem with food obsession/binging is somewhat different to mos

around it, unless you live off an IV (can you do that?).

I didn't really want to respond, but this really bothered me. It's very narrow v
iew.
It's not always a matter of campaigning for an unhealthy lifestyle. You have to
dress for the body you have.
Shopping at a Big & Tall is a much different experience than shopping at stores
specifically targeted at plus size women (although options have improved greatly
for them over the years.) Many of thedr specialty stores have been known to cat
er towards an older demographic. The reality is there are younger women who are
plus size that want to wear the same trends their friends are wearing (prints, c
olors, silhouettes.) Just because a woman is a size 20 does not mean she only wa
nts to wear leopard prints and ruffles.
Also, keep in mind men's fashion and women's fashion are judged on different spe
ctrums. For instance, the male anchor who wore the same suit for a year.
Yes, obesity is an epidemic in America, but that doesn't mean they should be mar
ginalized.
Clothing is a fun means of expression for many people. If a person wants to patr
on a store and that store wants to cater to them what does it matter?

I never really thought about that. It sort of does show the difference in how of

as there are people who fit the big+tall category, so that'll probably never ha

EDIT: I feel like I'm working at Old Navy again.
Double Edit: I've never seen a Big and Tall store that carries pants that are 30

Guys, look at it like this. You go to a parts web site looking for a distributor
for your '53 Hudson Hornet. Would you rather sift through all of the distributo

Hudson, you go to the next site.

I used to make websites like this as my job. It's an unfortunate layout decision
. They just divided into age categories.
Men, Women
Women+, (and there should be Men+)
Girls, Boys
Younger girls, younger boys

The only legitimate reason I can think of is that the majority of Old Navy custo
mers are plus sized women. Whenever we get a shipment of a product, there are al
most double the amount of larger sizes. Maybe they were trying to give more obvi
ous access to clothing for their (literally) biggest consumer. Gap Inc is usuall
y very literal with their advertisment (eg. Gap toothed women as models for a lo
t of their posters)

It's all marketing. Nothing else would match well with "women's plus" (except if
there was a "men's plus") Regardless, it's matched by pairs. "Man" and "women"
look better side by side than "man" and "women's plus".

Their responsive design is very grid based and they organized the sets into the
three pars; adults, kids, toddlers. There is no plus men's category so this sing

A Canadian is born in the midst of a long and cold winter's night, when the spir
its of Moose and Beaver are taken by Grandfather Maple to a hockey rink. If Moos
e out scores Beaver, a boy is born. If Beaver beats Moose, a girl is born. Then
Grandfather Maple takes the child to Seal Fur Woman, who teaches the child its n
ame, the Canadian national anthem, and bestows upon it a love of gravy on French
fries. After that, a worthy Canadian couple, who have proven themselves fortudi
nous by surviving the harsh winter and Stephen Harper's roaming squad of attack
kittens in sweater vests, apologized profusely for all the fuss and is allowed t
o adopt the child from Grandfather Maple.

Another possibility is that the plus size girl would fill the entirety of the fr
ame in the normal grid size, making her size easier to compare to the other grid
s, and by comparison actually appear larger than she really is.
By giving her a larger frame size, and thus more white space on each side, it co
uld have a bit of a slimming effect compared to the others.
Not sure how well all that works though here, just some design theory i pulled o
ut of my ass.

Not to mention, a wider tile makes the model seem slimmer. If she were filling a

I'm no expert, but my guess is that it has something to do with women's style be
ing tighter fitting. Whereas the relatively loose fitting pants worn by men can
accommodate legs of varying widths, with only the waist and length varying great
ly, the tight fitting pants worn by women are far less versatile. It's not hard
to imagine how manufacturing clothes for women is far more costly than it is for
men. Considering this along with the greater demand among the fairer sex for st
ylish clothing, I think we arrive at at least a plausible explanation for why th
ere is a women's plus and not a men's plus.

That's not true. They tried to set up women's clothing like mens, back in the 20
s. Thing is, men are built similarly - triangle - and are able to use the waist/
length method for purchasing off the rack.
When they did the same for women, it didn't work. The difference in body shape f
or a woman who carries in her stomach versus her ass is night and day. It also d
oesn't help that men wear 2 pieces always, whereas women (especially then) wore
a lot of dresses.
But it doesn't have to do with "getting away with" - they did try to standardize
the women's size.

Well, some 3/4 of their merchandise is for women(this includes female children)
anyway, not that I really give a fuck because I mainly wear jeans and tshirts an
yway.
Would I like a few more options? Yes. Is there much of a market in that one stor
e for those options, probably not- a quick look at the closets of every female r
elative of mine shows that they each have at least 3x the amount of clothing by
volume as me, going much longer before they "cycle through". Most of them are bu
ying these clothes of their own accord, so it stands to reason that it's not as
profitable under the current system to stock as much clothing for men as women.

Well, men don't have boobs, so that helps reduce body variations.
Other than that, men generally care about the "drop" between shoulders and waist

built guys. I'm almost at the point where even "athletic" cuts don't quite have
enough drop and look kind of billowy on me, and I'm not even built. Actually bi

Women have relative variations in circumference around their boobs, waist and hi
ps. There's also variations in hips vs leg length.
Whereas men, if they are wider or longer around one of these areas, they are gen
erally wider or longer around all three.
Generally speaking, there are exceptions.
This is not probably not enough to explain all of the size difference in terms o
f men's clothing vs women's clothing, but it's certainly a factor.

Anecdotally men's sizes are generally S/M/L/XL and then you add a few X's for th
e really big dudes. Whereas I doubt that any two girls who both wear a size 4 dr

Typical stores have 4 sizes of mens shirts (S-XL) and an assortment of pants usu
ally ranging from 28-40 waist and 30-38 inseam with an assortment of combination
s of waist/inseam with some styles that change the fit.
When you get into larger sizes they just start adding X's. I've litterally seen
"XXXXXL" printed on a tag, and I held up the shirt and it was about the size of
a bed sheet. It was right next to the M-L shirts I was shopping for, they were j
ust out of the sizes in-between.
Women don't want this setup. They don't want to see their XXXXXL equivalent next
to a XS/S/M shirt because they can see the discrepancy. They want to be guided
to their section where things fit, and see all the other clothes that are close
to the size they can fit into. It falls right into the vanity sizing mindset for
women's clothes.
I'll put it this way. Would you rather be told you're a 4XL or that you're a Rel

axed Fit Medium? Guys generally don't care, and women do. Which is why they call
it out that way.

It's frustrating that "vanity sizing" has crept over to men's clothing. It used

o to the fitting room with tower of jeans ranging in size from 28x30 to 34x32 ju
st to find something that fits right - and every brand is different so it's not
like you can just count on the size you got last time.
The whole point of putting numbers on the jeans was to make shopping easy! I'm a

if it means I can be in and out of the store in five minutes!

I used to be a buyer in women's fashion so I can explain this quite easily. Ther
e is no agenda to make females feel bad. You are our customers we want you to fe
el good. Other than that woman's fashion companies produce clothing in only smal
l medium and large for the most part because it's cheaper to produce them that w
ay. By adding in another size you're adding a huge amount of inventory. Also wom
en's clothing that are plus sizes actually fit quite differently so you can't ju
st get the same style and add a few inches here and there and hope it looks good
. Girls who wear plus sizes are looking for different styles as well. Women's cl
othing have much more variety in styles where as men's sections are pretty much
shirts and pants.

I really don't get it. I think big dudes need to lose weight just as much as I t
hink big women do. I suppose I discriminate equally.
But on a more serious note: being overweight is bad for you. Especially later in
life. My great-aunt spent her last 15 years more or less unable to leave home.
My grandmother has hit the same problem. And now I'm worried that my mother is s
tarting to gain a lot of weight as she gets close to her 60s, and looking at wha
t she eats, it's blatantly obvious as to why. I'm not hating on my mother. But I
wish she would eat less and carry out a more healthy life-style especially beca
use she knows very well how miserable her own aunts later years were. If all thr
ee examples here were women, it's merely coincidence. My father is still thin as
a rake and still very active, as was his, and my grandfather on my mothers side
passed long ago.
If someone in our family is overweight we should try to help them, and if we are
ourselves, we should accept help offered.

Sure. Triggers in real life are things that can trigger a negative flashback or
panic attack in people who suffer from post traumatic stress disorder. Tumblr ba
stardizes this by claiming that they have some type of internet PTSD and certain
words or things can trigger them to have a panic attack. It really just boils d

When I was in treatment for my eating disorder, a "trigger" was something that t
riggered your unhealthy behavior. Like, going to the grocery store was a trigger
for me because of the laxative section. It was very difficult for me to stay aw

When something, whether it be words, images, a person, etc... causes (triggers)
someone to re-experience a traumatic memory. Example: rape victims sometimes bec
ome incredibly anxious when their rapist enters the room, or fireworks can set o
ff flashbacks for soldiers with PTSD.
Yes, sometimes people feel uncomfortable around criticism and call it a "trigger
" to shut down conversation, but I think many triggers are legitimate. Reddit do
esn't seem to think that's the case.

Hey, as someone with PTSD I can explain what a trigger is like for me. I can be
just going about my business and I might smell something that reminds me of the
incident, and suddenly I'll be right back there feeling trapped and scared and a
nxious. Fight or flight kicks in. There are images of it happening in my mind. I
can't control it. And that's probably minor compared to what other people with
PTSD can experience.
Genuine triggers are awful. Purposely triggering someone (people actually do tha
t) is a fucking shitty thing to do. I think tumblr has trivialised the term "tri
gger" to the point where people with PTSD don't get taken seriously because they
get lumped in with the ones who take advantage of the term.
There should be a new term for PTSD survivors. "Trigger warning" has been corrup
ted. It's too vague. Something like "flashback warning" would be better.
People with PTSD genuinely need trigger (or flashback) warnings, it's not a joke
. A bad trigger can push someone over the edge.

It doesn't sound right because you just made a straw man out of my statement. Ev
erything about "plus size" departments and stores is euphemism for, "you are too
large to fit into normal clothes". "Busty", "curvy", "full-figured", etc.

Men get a small range of sizes, and mostly terrible fitting clothing; women get
a much larger amount of sizes and two separate sections for the larger and the s
maller. Just chill out and try to see it from other perspectives besides just yo
ur own. I mean have you seen how ill-fitting clothing is for men unless they buy
specialty or get it tailored? We have S, M, L, XL, XXL, XXXL. And if you're not
one of those specific measurements that define one of the 6 main sizes, then yo
u're going to be between them and either have way too tight clothing, or way too
loose clothing. Take it from a guy who grew up constantly in-between sizes and
looking fat in everything. Oh and if you're too embarassed to shop for larger cl
othing, then you're just perpetuating "fat-shaming" and not practicing what you
preach about body pride. Don't like shopping for bigger clothes? Put in the work
to make your body smaller or get over it.

Fat men also have more variety at standard stores. I've seen Old Navy push well
into the high 40 waists.
The problem is that it's a double standard. There is an infinitely higher bias t
oward overweight women than overweight men.

Both lifestyles are unhealthy, but unless you've been a fatty you don't understa
nd the struggle it takes to get away from there.
Food is a fucker and is an easy, shitty solution to many problems. I've been gui
lty for eating my feelings, especially those times where my weight has already b
een high. It's a lot easier to grab a DQ blizzard than it is to pull yourself up
and go get help.
It's taken me almost 40 years to change my mindset into a healthy one. I fucking
loved food. It's not an easy shift, especially if you've been raised to eat unh
ealthy.
Like when I quit smoking, it had to come from inside. And one thing I can tell y
ou is alienating overweight people isn't the solution. Pretending it doesn't exi
st or basically funnelling overweight people into "fat" stores also doesn't help
. It doesn't do great things to ones self esteem to have to go out of your way a
nd shop at these kinds of stores.

I find that the problem with food obsession/binging is somewhat different to mos

. You don't need it. Same with other drugs. But you need to eat. There's no way
around it, unless you live off an IV (can you do that?).

I didn't really want to respond, but this really bothered me. It's very narrow v
iew.
It's not always a matter of campaigning for an unhealthy lifestyle. You have to
dress for the body you have.
Shopping at a Big & Tall is a much different experience than shopping at stores
specifically targeted at plus size women (although options have improved greatly
for them over the years.) Many of thedr specialty stores have been known to cat
er towards an older demographic. The reality is there are younger women who are
plus size that want to wear the same trends their friends are wearing (prints, c
olors, silhouettes.) Just because a woman is a size 20 does not mean she only wa
nts to wear leopard prints and ruffles.
Also, keep in mind men's fashion and women's fashion are judged on different spe
ctrums. For instance, the male anchor who wore the same suit for a year.

Yes, obesity is an epidemic in America, but that doesn't mean they should be mar
ginalized.
Clothing is a fun means of expression for many people. If a person wants to patr
on a store and that store wants to cater to them what does it matter?

I never really thought about that. It sort of does show the difference in how of

as there are people who fit the big+tall category, so that'll probably never ha

EDIT: I feel like I'm working at Old Navy again.
Double Edit: I've never seen a Big and Tall store that carries pants that are 30

It's all marketing. Nothing else would match well with "women's plus" (except if
there was a "men's plus") Regardless, it's matched by pairs. "Man" and "women"
look better side by side than "man" and "women's plus".

Their responsive design is very grid based and they organized the sets into the
three pars; adults, kids, toddlers. There is no plus men's category so this sing
le category either had to take up two grid positions or go to the bottom as a si

A Canadian is born in the midst of a long and cold winter's night, when the spir
its of Moose and Beaver are taken by Grandfather Maple to a hockey rink. If Moos
e out scores Beaver, a boy is born. If Beaver beats Moose, a girl is born. Then
Grandfather Maple takes the child to Seal Fur Woman, who teaches the child its n
ame, the Canadian national anthem, and bestows upon it a love of gravy on French

fries. After that, a worthy Canadian couple, who have proven themselves fortudi
nous by surviving the harsh winter and Stephen Harper's roaming squad of attack
kittens in sweater vests, apologized profusely for all the fuss and is allowed t
o adopt the child from Grandfather Maple.

Another possibility is that the plus size girl would fill the entirety of the fr
ame in the normal grid size, making her size easier to compare to the other grid
s, and by comparison actually appear larger than she really is.
By giving her a larger frame size, and thus more white space on each side, it co
uld have a bit of a slimming effect compared to the others.
Not sure how well all that works though here, just some design theory i pulled o
ut of my ass.

I'm no expert, but my guess is that it has something to do with women's style be
ing tighter fitting. Whereas the relatively loose fitting pants worn by men can
accommodate legs of varying widths, with only the waist and length varying great
ly, the tight fitting pants worn by women are far less versatile. It's not hard
to imagine how manufacturing clothes for women is far more costly than it is for
men. Considering this along with the greater demand among the fairer sex for st
ylish clothing, I think we arrive at at least a plausible explanation for why th
ere is a women's plus and not a men's plus.

That's not true. They tried to set up women's clothing like mens, back in the 20
s. Thing is, men are built similarly - triangle - and are able to use the waist/
length method for purchasing off the rack.
When they did the same for women, it didn't work. The difference in body shape f
or a woman who carries in her stomach versus her ass is night and day. It also d
oesn't help that men wear 2 pieces always, whereas women (especially then) wore
a lot of dresses.
But it doesn't have to do with "getting away with" - they did try to standardize
the women's size.

Well, some 3/4 of their merchandise is for women(this includes female children)
anyway, not that I really give a fuck because I mainly wear jeans and tshirts an
yway.
Would I like a few more options? Yes. Is there much of a market in that one stor
e for those options, probably not- a quick look at the closets of every female r
elative of mine shows that they each have at least 3x the amount of clothing by
volume as me, going much longer before they "cycle through". Most of them are bu
ying these clothes of their own accord, so it stands to reason that it's not as
profitable under the current system to stock as much clothing for men as women.
I'll take my long-sleeved shirts, thank you.

I make ON promo emails and they usually make W doublewide since it gets the most
clicks and stick M and WP together.
However in this case, it looks like this was based off the same layout as the US
version which had maternity adjacent to WP. Probably just laziness, didn't want
to disturb the layout for the canada version too much so just made WP doublewid
e.

This is the Canadian site apparently. The US version has maternity next to women

I read a very interesting research study conducted by a state board of health an

of their excess weight (through diet snd exercise - aka the healthy, progressive
way) are 55-65% less likely to experience depression symptoms; 80-92% reported
overall quality of life improvements that they called very significant.
Probably common sense, but hearing those numbers may act as a motivator for you!

Well, men don't have boobs, so that helps reduce body variations.
Other than that, men generally care about the "drop" between shoulders and waist
. This can vary a lot between fat guys, skinny-fat guys, lean athletic guys, and
built guys. I'm almost at the point where even "athletic" cuts don't quite have
enough drop and look kind of billowy on me, and I'm not even built. Actually bi
g dudes need to get almost everything tailored so it doesn't look like you're we

Women have relative variations in circumference around their boobs, waist and hi
ps. There's also variations in hips vs leg length.
Whereas men, if they are wider or longer around one of these areas, they are gen
erally wider or longer around all three.
Generally speaking, there are exceptions.
This is not probably not enough to explain all of the size difference in terms o
f men's clothing vs women's clothing, but it's certainly a factor.

I don't really know if there's a way to quantitatively answer that question.
Maybe standard deviation of men's waist/inseam/whatever vs. women's. But I don't

Anecdotally men's sizes are generally S/M/L/XL and then you add a few X's for th
e really big dudes. Whereas I doubt that any two girls who both wear a size 4 dr

Correct, many many upscale stores do not offer larger sizes for women, and imo i

. When I shopped at Walmart, they did not have women's dress slacks in my size b
ecause I was too small. Women my size don't shop at (that) Walmart often enough
to make it worth carrying a size smaller than 6. Also, they didn't sell dress sl

I don't buy dress slacks at Walmart but I had a... pants emergency.

It doesn't matter overall though, because 99% of stores, as I said, don't go ove

Typical stores have 4 sizes of mens shirts (S-XL) and an assortment of pants usu
ally ranging from 28-40 waist and 30-38 inseam with an assortment of combination
s of waist/inseam with some styles that change the fit.
When you get into larger sizes they just start adding X's. I've litterally seen
"XXXXXL" printed on a tag, and I held up the shirt and it was about the size of
a bed sheet. It was right next to the M-L shirts I was shopping for, they were j
ust out of the sizes in-between.
Women don't want this setup. They don't want to see their XXXXXL equivalent next
to a XS/S/M shirt because they can see the discrepancy. They want to be guided
to their section where things fit, and see all the other clothes that are close
to the size they can fit into. It falls right into the vanity sizing mindset for
women's clothes.
I'll put it this way. Would you rather be told you're a 4XL or that you're a Rel
axed Fit Medium? Guys generally don't care, and women do. Which is why they call
it out that way.

It's frustrating that "vanity sizing" has crept over to men's clothing. It used

size, I could pick out a pair without even having to try it on. Now, I have to g
o to the fitting room with tower of jeans ranging in size from 28x30 to 34x32 ju
st to find something that fits right - and every brand is different so it's not
like you can just count on the size you got last time.
The whole point of putting numbers on the jeans was to make shopping easy! I'm a

if it means I can be in and out of the store in five minutes!

I really don't get it. I think big dudes need to lose weight just as much as I t

But on a more serious note: being overweight is bad for you. Especially later in
life. My great-aunt spent her last 15 years more or less unable to leave home.
My grandmother has hit the same problem. And now I'm worried that my mother is s
tarting to gain a lot of weight as she gets close to her 60s, and looking at wha
t she eats, it's blatantly obvious as to why. I'm not hating on my mother. But I
wish she would eat less and carry out a more healthy life-style especially beca
use she knows very well how miserable her own aunts later years were. If all thr
ee examples here were women, it's merely coincidence. My father is still thin as
a rake and still very active, as was his, and my grandfather on my mothers side
passed long ago.

If someone in our family is overweight we should try to help them, and if we are
ourselves, we should accept help offered.

Hey, as someone with PTSD I can explain what a trigger is like for me. I can be
just going about my business and I might smell something that reminds me of the
incident, and suddenly I'll be right back there feeling trapped and scared and a
nxious. Fight or flight kicks in. There are images of it happening in my mind. I
can't control it. And that's probably minor compared to what other people with
PTSD can experience.
Genuine triggers are awful. Purposely triggering someone (people actually do tha
t) is a fucking shitty thing to do. I think tumblr has trivialised the term "tri

gger" to the point where people with PTSD don't get taken seriously because they

There should be a new term for PTSD survivors. "Trigger warning" has been corrup
ted. It's too vague. Something like "flashback warning" would be better.
People with PTSD genuinely need trigger (or flashback) warnings, it's not a joke
. A bad trigger can push someone over the edge.

Men get a small range of sizes, and mostly terrible fitting clothing; women get
a much larger amount of sizes and two separate sections for the larger and the s
maller. Just chill out and try to see it from other perspectives besides just yo
ur own. I mean have you seen how ill-fitting clothing is for men unless they buy
specialty or get it tailored? We have S, M, L, XL, XXL, XXXL. And if you're not
one of those specific measurements that define one of the 6 main sizes, then yo
u're going to be between them and either have way too tight clothing, or way too
loose clothing. Take it from a guy who grew up constantly in-between sizes and
looking fat in everything. Oh and if you're too embarassed to shop for larger cl
othing, then you're just perpetuating "fat-shaming" and not practicing what you
preach about body pride. Don't like shopping for bigger clothes? Put in the work
to make your body smaller or get over it.

Fat men also have more variety at standard stores. I've seen Old Navy push well
into the high 40 waists.
The problem is that it's a double standard. There is an infinitely higher bias t
oward overweight women than overweight men.
Both lifestyles are unhealthy, but unless you've been a fatty you don't understa
nd the struggle it takes to get away from there.
Food is a fucker and is an easy, shitty solution to many problems. I've been gui
lty for eating my feelings, especially those times where my weight has already b
een high. It's a lot easier to grab a DQ blizzard than it is to pull yourself up
and go get help.
It's taken me almost 40 years to change my mindset into a healthy one. I fucking
loved food. It's not an easy shift, especially if you've been raised to eat unh
ealthy.
Like when I quit smoking, it had to come from inside. And one thing I can tell y
ou is alienating overweight people isn't the solution. Pretending it doesn't exi
st or basically funnelling overweight people into "fat" stores also doesn't help
. It doesn't do great things to ones self esteem to have to go out of your way a

I find that the problem with food obsession/binging is somewhat different to mos

I didn't really want to respond, but this really bothered me. It's very narrow v

It's not always a matter of campaigning for an unhealthy lifestyle. You have to
dress for the body you have.
Shopping at a Big & Tall is a much different experience than shopping at stores
specifically targeted at plus size women (although options have improved greatly
for them over the years.) Many of thedr specialty stores have been known to cat
er towards an older demographic. The reality is there are younger women who are
plus size that want to wear the same trends their friends are wearing (prints, c
olors, silhouettes.) Just because a woman is a size 20 does not mean she only wa
nts to wear leopard prints and ruffles.
Also, keep in mind men's fashion and women's fashion are judged on different spe
ctrums. For instance, the male anchor who wore the same suit for a year.
Yes, obesity is an epidemic in America, but that doesn't mean they should be mar
ginalized.
Clothing is a fun means of expression for many people. If a person wants to patr
on a store and that store wants to cater to them what does it matter?

I never really thought about that. It sort of does show the difference in how of

Double Edit: I've never seen a Big and Tall store that carries pants that are 30

What is this shit? How is "women's plus" any different than "big and tall?" "Big

I don't see how you could argue it is MORE of a euphemism.
Plus size seems like more of a euphemism than big. And tall isn't a substitution
for anything, unless you would prefer they use the term "lamppost" to make sure
they aren't overusing euphemisms.

The weird part is, Old Navy DOES have a "Big and Tall" selection in their mens c

.
But the womens stuff is separated out as a whole new category of "Womens Plus"
permalink
[ ]queenbrewer 21 points 5 hours ago
I think this is partially because plus sized women's clothing needs to be design
ed more differently than plus sized men's clothing, which usually is just larger
cuts of the same styles.

Plus models are typically 6 foot size 12's. That's in no way obese. Indeed, tall
women wearing the lower end of plus sizes aren't likely to be obese.

I get why plus sizes get there own category. If a big girl is checking out a sto

their size. That doesn't really explain why their category is wider on that pag
e...
Guys, look at it like this. You go to a parts web site looking for a distributor
for your '53 Hudson Hornet. Would you rather sift through all of the distributo
rs before you discover that they only carry Ford and Chevy parts? Nope, you want
to see a link to "Hudson engine parts" and get down to business. No mention of
Hudson, you go to the next site.
My wife is a big girl and she gets damn frustrated when she sees something she l
ikes, chooses a color and then finds that it isn't available in plus size.
Before you give women too much shit about "enabling an unhealthy lifestyle" you
should also understand that in the clothing industry 'plus size' does not necess
arily mean 400lb folks.

The only legitimate reason I can think of is that the majority of Old Navy custo

most double the amount of larger sizes. Maybe they were trying to give more obvi

y very literal with their advertisment (eg. Gap toothed women as models for a lo

Grandfather Maple takes the child to Seal Fur Woman, who teaches the child its n

Another possibility is that the plus size girl would fill the entirety of the fr
ame in the normal grid size, making her size easier to compare to the other grid
s, and by comparison actually appear larger than she really is.
By giving her a larger frame size, and thus more white space on each side, it co
uld have a bit of a slimming effect compared to the others.

Not sure how well all that works though here, just some design theory i pulled o

I'm no expert, but my guess is that it has something to do with women's style be
ing tighter fitting. Whereas the relatively loose fitting pants worn by men can
accommodate legs of varying widths, with only the waist and length varying great
ly, the tight fitting pants worn by women are far less versatile. It's not hard
to imagine how manufacturing clothes for women is far more costly than it is for
men. Considering this along with the greater demand among the fairer sex for st
ylish clothing, I think we arrive at at least a plausible explanation for why th
ere is a women's plus and not a men's plus.

That's not true. They tried to set up women's clothing like mens, back in the 20
s. Thing is, men are built similarly - triangle - and are able to use the waist/
length method for purchasing off the rack.
When they did the same for women, it didn't work. The difference in body shape f
or a woman who carries in her stomach versus her ass is night and day. It also d
oesn't help that men wear 2 pieces always, whereas women (especially then) wore
a lot of dresses.
But it doesn't have to do with "getting away with" - they did try to standardize
the women's size.

Well, some 3/4 of their merchandise is for women(this includes female children)
anyway, not that I really give a fuck because I mainly wear jeans and tshirts an

Would I like a few more options? Yes. Is there much of a market in that one stor
e for those options, probably not- a quick look at the closets of every female r
elative of mine shows that they each have at least 3x the amount of clothing by
volume as me, going much longer before they "cycle through". Most of them are bu
ying these clothes of their own accord, so it stands to reason that it's not as
profitable under the current system to stock as much clothing for men as women.

built guys. I'm almost at the point where even "athletic" cuts don't quite have
enough drop and look kind of billowy on me, and I'm not even built. Actually bi
g dudes need to get almost everything tailored so it doesn't look like you're we
aring a garbage bag.

Women have relative variations in circumference around their boobs, waist and hi
ps. There's also variations in hips vs leg length.
Whereas men, if they are wider or longer around one of these areas, they are gen

erally wider or longer around all three.


Generally speaking, there are exceptions.
This is not probably not enough to explain all of the size difference in terms o
f men's clothing vs women's clothing, but it's certainly a factor.

[ ]Cubelord 3 points 6 hours ago
I don't really know if there's a way to quantitatively answer that question.
Maybe standard deviation of men's waist/inseam/whatever vs. women's. But I don't
know if those kind of statistics are out there.
Anecdotally men's sizes are generally S/M/L/XL and then you add a few X's for th
e really big dudes. Whereas I doubt that any two girls who both wear a size 4 dr
ess look very similar in terms of body shape.

I'm fairly certain most women's clothing have arbitrary size cut offs, because A

Correct, many many upscale stores do not offer larger sizes for women, and imo i
t's a financial decision on their part, nothing more. It works the other way too
. When I shopped at Walmart, they did not have women's dress slacks in my size b
ecause I was too small. Women my size don't shop at (that) Walmart often enough
to make it worth carrying a size smaller than 6. Also, they didn't sell dress sl
acks for little girls, so I had to purchase little boy's dress slacks. Normally
I don't buy dress slacks at Walmart but I had a... pants emergency.

That basically is why there are separate garments in each section. There are som

not all regular ones can be cut to suit a larger frame. So there's a separate s

They're separate for the sake of ease in shopping.

6'8" chubby guy here. Mens sections RARELY have over XL size shirts, and they NE
VER, EVER, EVER have 2XL AND tall styles. I can get a 3XL shirt and have it be 3
feet too wide, BUT have the length for the shirt to cover my freaking stomach,
OR go with a nicer-fitting 2XL and look like a belly-dancer.
It doesn't matter overall though, because 99% of stores, as I said, don't go ove
r XL.
And don't you even fucking get me started on shoes.. the pair I have right now h
ave holes in them because I just simply don't want to go through the months-long
process of having shoes shipped to you to try them on, and ship them back when
they aren't good enough just to order another pair to try (And yes I can just or

Typical stores have 4 sizes of mens shirts (S-XL) and an assortment of pants usu
ally ranging from 28-40 waist and 30-38 inseam with an assortment of combination
s of waist/inseam with some styles that change the fit.
When you get into larger sizes they just start adding X's. I've litterally seen
"XXXXXL" printed on a tag, and I held up the shirt and it was about the size of
a bed sheet. It was right next to the M-L shirts I was shopping for, they were j
ust out of the sizes in-between.
Women don't want this setup. They don't want to see their XXXXXL equivalent next
to a XS/S/M shirt because they can see the discrepancy. They want to be guided
to their section where things fit, and see all the other clothes that are close
to the size they can fit into. It falls right into the vanity sizing mindset for
women's clothes.
I'll put it this way. Would you rather be told you're a 4XL or that you're a Rel
axed Fit Medium? Guys generally don't care, and women do. Which is why they call
it out that way.

It's frustrating that "vanity sizing" has crept over to men's clothing. It used
to be so easy to find a pair of pants that fit. Once I knew my inseam and waist
size, I could pick out a pair without even having to try it on. Now, I have to g
o to the fitting room with tower of jeans ranging in size from 28x30 to 34x32 ju
st to find something that fits right - and every brand is different so it's not
like you can just count on the size you got last time.
The whole point of putting numbers on the jeans was to make shopping easy! I'm a
man. I don't care if my clothes literally call me a fat ass while I put them on
if it means I can be in and out of the store in five minutes!

I really don't get it. I think big dudes need to lose weight just as much as I t

But on a more serious note: being overweight is bad for you. Especially later in
life. My great-aunt spent her last 15 years more or less unable to leave home.
My grandmother has hit the same problem. And now I'm worried that my mother is s
tarting to gain a lot of weight as she gets close to her 60s, and looking at wha
t she eats, it's blatantly obvious as to why. I'm not hating on my mother. But I
wish she would eat less and carry out a more healthy life-style especially beca
use she knows very well how miserable her own aunts later years were. If all thr
ee examples here were women, it's merely coincidence. My father is still thin as
a rake and still very active, as was his, and my grandfather on my mothers side
passed long ago.
If someone in our family is overweight we should try to help them, and if we are
ourselves, we should accept help offered.

Hey, as someone with PTSD I can explain what a trigger is like for me. I can be
just going about my business and I might smell something that reminds me of the
incident, and suddenly I'll be right back there feeling trapped and scared and a
nxious. Fight or flight kicks in. There are images of it happening in my mind. I
can't control it. And that's probably minor compared to what other people with
PTSD can experience.
Genuine triggers are awful. Purposely triggering someone (people actually do tha
t) is a fucking shitty thing to do. I think tumblr has trivialised the term "tri
gger" to the point where people with PTSD don't get taken seriously because they
get lumped in with the ones who take advantage of the term.
There should be a new term for PTSD survivors. "Trigger warning" has been corrup
ted. It's too vague. Something like "flashback warning" would be better.
People with PTSD genuinely need trigger (or flashback) warnings, it's not a joke
. A bad trigger can push someone over the edge.

Men get a small range of sizes, and mostly terrible fitting clothing; women get
a much larger amount of sizes and two separate sections for the larger and the s
maller. Just chill out and try to see it from other perspectives besides just yo
ur own. I mean have you seen how ill-fitting clothing is for men unless they buy
specialty or get it tailored? We have S, M, L, XL, XXL, XXXL. And if you're not
one of those specific measurements that define one of the 6 main sizes, then yo
u're going to be between them and either have way too tight clothing, or way too
loose clothing. Take it from a guy who grew up constantly in-between sizes and
looking fat in everything. Oh and if you're too embarassed to shop for larger cl

othing, then you're just perpetuating "fat-shaming" and not practicing what you
preach about body pride. Don't like shopping for bigger clothes? Put in the work
to make your body smaller or get over it.

Fat men also have more variety at standard stores. I've seen Old Navy push well
into the high 40 waists.
The problem is that it's a double standard. There is an infinitely higher bias t
oward overweight women than overweight men.
Both lifestyles are unhealthy, but unless you've been a fatty you don't understa
nd the struggle it takes to get away from there.
Food is a fucker and is an easy, shitty solution to many problems. I've been gui
lty for eating my feelings, especially those times where my weight has already b
een high. It's a lot easier to grab a DQ blizzard than it is to pull yourself up
and go get help.
It's taken me almost 40 years to change my mindset into a healthy one. I fucking
loved food. It's not an easy shift, especially if you've been raised to eat unh
ealthy.
Like when I quit smoking, it had to come from inside. And one thing I can tell y
ou is alienating overweight people isn't the solution. Pretending it doesn't exi
st or basically funnelling overweight people into "fat" stores also doesn't help
. It doesn't do great things to ones self esteem to have to go out of your way a
nd shop at these kinds of stores.

I find that the problem with food obsession/binging is somewhat different to mos

I didn't really want to respond, but this really bothered me. It's very narrow v

It's not always a matter of campaigning for an unhealthy lifestyle. You have to
dress for the body you have.
Shopping at a Big & Tall is a much different experience than shopping at stores
specifically targeted at plus size women (although options have improved greatly
for them over the years.) Many of thedr specialty stores have been known to cat
er towards an older demographic. The reality is there are younger women who are
plus size that want to wear the same trends their friends are wearing (prints, c
olors, silhouettes.) Just because a woman is a size 20 does not mean she only wa
nts to wear leopard prints and ruffles.
Also, keep in mind men's fashion and women's fashion are judged on different spe
ctrums. For instance, the male anchor who wore the same suit for a year.
Yes, obesity is an epidemic in America, but that doesn't mean they should be mar
ginalized.
Clothing is a fun means of expression for many people. If a person wants to patr
on a store and that store wants to cater to them what does it matter?

They do, the rule is the fat person must fit in the seat with the armrests down.
If they insist on leaving them up just call a flight attendant who will find th
em another seat or if the flight is fully booked remove them from the plane. Fat
people can purchase two seats if they wish, and they'll even refund the extra s
eat on Southwest!

Old navy has been getting some negative lime light over their plus side clothing
recently. Apparently, they charge more for a larger size of the same item in wo
men's clothing (not so for men's).

I get why plus sizes get there own category. If a big girl is checking out a sto
re for the first time, they want to know quickly if they might have something in
their size. That doesn't really explain why their category is wider on that pag
e...
Guys, look at it like this. You go to a parts web site looking for a distributor
for your '53 Hudson Hornet. Would you rather sift through all of the distributo
rs before you discover that they only carry Ford and Chevy parts? Nope, you want
to see a link to "Hudson engine parts" and get down to business. No mention of
Hudson, you go to the next site.
My wife is a big girl and she gets damn frustrated when she sees something she l
ikes, chooses a color and then finds that it isn't available in plus size.
Before you give women too much shit about "enabling an unhealthy lifestyle" you
should also understand that in the clothing industry 'plus size' does not necess
arily mean 400lb folks.

The only legitimate reason I can think of is that the majority of Old Navy custo
mers are plus sized women. Whenever we get a shipment of a product, there are al
most double the amount of larger sizes. Maybe they were trying to give more obvi
ous access to clothing for their (literally) biggest consumer. Gap Inc is usuall
y very literal with their advertisment (eg. Gap toothed women as models for a lo
t of their posters)

It's all marketing. Nothing else would match well with "women's plus" (except if

look better side by side than "man" and "women's plus".

Their responsive design is very grid based and they organized the sets into the
three pars; adults, kids, toddlers. There is no plus men's category so this sing
le category either had to take up two grid positions or go to the bottom as a si

A Canadian is born in the midst of a long and cold winter's night, when the spir

Grandfather Maple takes the child to Seal Fur Woman, who teaches the child its n

fries. After that, a worthy Canadian couple, who have proven themselves fortudi

kittens in sweater vests, apologized profusely for all the fuss and is allowed t

Another possibility is that the plus size girl would fill the entirety of the fr
ame in the normal grid size, making her size easier to compare to the other grid
s, and by comparison actually appear larger than she really is.
By giving her a larger frame size, and thus more white space on each side, it co
uld have a bit of a slimming effect compared to the others.
Not sure how well all that works though here, just some design theory i pulled o

I'm no expert, but my guess is that it has something to do with women's style be
ing tighter fitting. Whereas the relatively loose fitting pants worn by men can
accommodate legs of varying widths, with only the waist and length varying great

ly, the tight fitting pants worn by women are far less versatile. It's not hard
to imagine how manufacturing clothes for women is far more costly than it is for
men. Considering this along with the greater demand among the fairer sex for st
ylish clothing, I think we arrive at at least a plausible explanation for why th
ere is a women's plus and not a men's plus.

That's not true. They tried to set up women's clothing like mens, back in the 20
s. Thing is, men are built similarly - triangle - and are able to use the waist/
length method for purchasing off the rack.
When they did the same for women, it didn't work. The difference in body shape f
or a woman who carries in her stomach versus her ass is night and day. It also d
oesn't help that men wear 2 pieces always, whereas women (especially then) wore

a lot of dresses.
But it doesn't have to do with "getting away with" - they did try to standardize
the women's size.

Well, some 3/4 of their merchandise is for women(this includes female children)
anyway, not that I really give a fuck because I mainly wear jeans and tshirts an

Would I like a few more options? Yes. Is there much of a market in that one stor
e for those options, probably not- a quick look at the closets of every female r
elative of mine shows that they each have at least 3x the amount of clothing by
volume as me, going much longer before they "cycle through". Most of them are bu
ying these clothes of their own accord, so it stands to reason that it's not as
profitable under the current system to stock as much clothing for men as women.

Well, men don't have boobs, so that helps reduce body variations.

built guys. I'm almost at the point where even "athletic" cuts don't quite have
enough drop and look kind of billowy on me, and I'm not even built. Actually bi

Women have relative variations in circumference around their boobs, waist and hi
ps. There's also variations in hips vs leg length.
Whereas men, if they are wider or longer around one of these areas, they are gen
erally wider or longer around all three.
Generally speaking, there are exceptions.
This is not probably not enough to explain all of the size difference in terms o

Typical stores have 4 sizes of mens shirts (S-XL) and an assortment of pants usu
ally ranging from 28-40 waist and 30-38 inseam with an assortment of combination
s of waist/inseam with some styles that change the fit.
When you get into larger sizes they just start adding X's. I've litterally seen
"XXXXXL" printed on a tag, and I held up the shirt and it was about the size of
a bed sheet. It was right next to the M-L shirts I was shopping for, they were j
ust out of the sizes in-between.
Women don't want this setup. They don't want to see their XXXXXL equivalent next
to a XS/S/M shirt because they can see the discrepancy. They want to be guided
to their section where things fit, and see all the other clothes that are close
to the size they can fit into. It falls right into the vanity sizing mindset for
women's clothes.
I'll put it this way. Would you rather be told you're a 4XL or that you're a Rel
axed Fit Medium? Guys generally don't care, and women do. Which is why they call

Maybe I'm weird, but I really don't care what the tags say. I just want clothes

and inseam instead of this arbitrary bullshit that never ever lines up with what
the size chart says it should be.

It's frustrating that "vanity sizing" has crept over to men's clothing. It used
to be so easy to find a pair of pants that fit. Once I knew my inseam and waist
size, I could pick out a pair without even having to try it on. Now, I have to g
o to the fitting room with tower of jeans ranging in size from 28x30 to 34x32 ju
st to find something that fits right - and every brand is different so it's not
like you can just count on the size you got last time.
The whole point of putting numbers on the jeans was to make shopping easy! I'm a
man. I don't care if my clothes literally call me a fat ass while I put them on
if it means I can be in and out of the store in five minutes!

were unbutton-able. It's insane!

I used to be a buyer in women's fashion so I can explain this quite easily. Ther

l medium and large for the most part because it's cheaper to produce them that w
ay. By adding in another size you're adding a huge amount of inventory. Also wom
en's clothing that are plus sizes actually fit quite differently so you can't ju
st get the same style and add a few inches here and there and hope it looks good
. Girls who wear plus sizes are looking for different styles as well. Women's cl
othing have much more variety in styles where as men's sections are pretty much
shirts and pants.

I really don't get it. I think big dudes need to lose weight just as much as I t
hink big women do. I suppose I discriminate equally.
But on a more serious note: being overweight is bad for you. Especially later in
life. My great-aunt spent her last 15 years more or less unable to leave home.
My grandmother has hit the same problem. And now I'm worried that my mother is s
tarting to gain a lot of weight as she gets close to her 60s, and looking at wha
t she eats, it's blatantly obvious as to why. I'm not hating on my mother. But I
wish she would eat less and carry out a more healthy life-style especially beca
use she knows very well how miserable her own aunts later years were. If all thr
ee examples here were women, it's merely coincidence. My father is still thin as
a rake and still very active, as was his, and my grandfather on my mothers side
passed long ago.
If someone in our family is overweight we should try to help them, and if we are
ourselves, we should accept help offered.

When something, whether it be words, images, a person, etc... causes (triggers)
someone to re-experience a traumatic memory. Example: rape victims sometimes bec

Hey, as someone with PTSD I can explain what a trigger is like for me. I can be
just going about my business and I might smell something that reminds me of the
incident, and suddenly I'll be right back there feeling trapped and scared and a
nxious. Fight or flight kicks in. There are images of it happening in my mind. I
can't control it. And that's probably minor compared to what other people with
PTSD can experience.
Genuine triggers are awful. Purposely triggering someone (people actually do tha
t) is a fucking shitty thing to do. I think tumblr has trivialised the term "tri
gger" to the point where people with PTSD don't get taken seriously because they
get lumped in with the ones who take advantage of the term.
There should be a new term for PTSD survivors. "Trigger warning" has been corrup
ted. It's too vague. Something like "flashback warning" would be better.
People with PTSD genuinely need trigger (or flashback) warnings, it's not a joke
. A bad trigger can push someone over the edge.

Fat men will generally look fine in the same clothes as skinny men, provided the
y are sized properly. Normal women's clothes will look terrible on a "plus size"
woman, because women's clothes are designed for certain body types. Men's cloth
es are more generic.

Plus size clothes are labeled either XXL, XXXL etc., or 1X, 2X, etc. They're sol

Additionally, the clothes are usually far uglier than the cute skinny people clo

Men get a small range of sizes, and mostly terrible fitting clothing; women get
a much larger amount of sizes and two separate sections for the larger and the s
maller. Just chill out and try to see it from other perspectives besides just yo
ur own. I mean have you seen how ill-fitting clothing is for men unless they buy
specialty or get it tailored? We have S, M, L, XL, XXL, XXXL. And if you're not
one of those specific measurements that define one of the 6 main sizes, then yo
u're going to be between them and either have way too tight clothing, or way too
loose clothing. Take it from a guy who grew up constantly in-between sizes and
looking fat in everything. Oh and if you're too embarassed to shop for larger cl
othing, then you're just perpetuating "fat-shaming" and not practicing what you
preach about body pride. Don't like shopping for bigger clothes? Put in the work
to make your body smaller or get over it.

Fat men also have more variety at standard stores. I've seen Old Navy push well
into the high 40 waists.
The problem is that it's a double standard. There is an infinitely higher bias t
oward overweight women than overweight men.
Both lifestyles are unhealthy, but unless you've been a fatty you don't understa
nd the struggle it takes to get away from there.
Food is a fucker and is an easy, shitty solution to many problems. I've been gui
lty for eating my feelings, especially those times where my weight has already b
een high. It's a lot easier to grab a DQ blizzard than it is to pull yourself up
and go get help.

It's taken me almost 40 years to change my mindset into a healthy one. I fucking
loved food. It's not an easy shift, especially if you've been raised to eat unh
ealthy.
Like when I quit smoking, it had to come from inside. And one thing I can tell y
ou is alienating overweight people isn't the solution. Pretending it doesn't exi
st or basically funnelling overweight people into "fat" stores also doesn't help
. It doesn't do great things to ones self esteem to have to go out of your way a
nd shop at these kinds of stores.

I find that the problem with food obsession/binging is somewhat different to mos

around it, unless you live off an IV (can you do that?).

I didn't really want to respond, but this really bothered me. It's very narrow v

It's not always a matter of campaigning for an unhealthy lifestyle. You have to
dress for the body you have.
Shopping at a Big & Tall is a much different experience than shopping at stores
specifically targeted at plus size women (although options have improved greatly
for them over the years.) Many of thedr specialty stores have been known to cat
er towards an older demographic. The reality is there are younger women who are
plus size that want to wear the same trends their friends are wearing (prints, c
olors, silhouettes.) Just because a woman is a size 20 does not mean she only wa
nts to wear leopard prints and ruffles.
Also, keep in mind men's fashion and women's fashion are judged on different spe
ctrums. For instance, the male anchor who wore the same suit for a year.
Yes, obesity is an epidemic in America, but that doesn't mean they should be mar
ginalized.
Clothing is a fun means of expression for many people. If a person wants to patr
on a store and that store wants to cater to them what does it matter?

I never really thought about that. It sort of does show the difference in how of

EDIT: I feel like I'm working at Old Navy again.
Double Edit: I've never seen a Big and Tall store that carries pants that are 30

Hudson, you go to the next site.

mers are plus sized women. Whenever we get a shipment of a product, there are al
most double the amount of larger sizes. Maybe they were trying to give more obvi
ous access to clothing for their (literally) biggest consumer. Gap Inc is usuall
y very literal with their advertisment (eg. Gap toothed women as models for a lo
t of their posters)

It's all marketing. Nothing else would match well with "women's plus" (except if
there was a "men's plus") Regardless, it's matched by pairs. "Man" and "women"
look better side by side than "man" and "women's plus".

Their responsive design is very grid based and they organized the sets into the
three pars; adults, kids, toddlers. There is no plus men's category so this sing

A Canadian is born in the midst of a long and cold winter's night, when the spir
its of Moose and Beaver are taken by Grandfather Maple to a hockey rink. If Moos
e out scores Beaver, a boy is born. If Beaver beats Moose, a girl is born. Then
Grandfather Maple takes the child to Seal Fur Woman, who teaches the child its n
ame, the Canadian national anthem, and bestows upon it a love of gravy on French
fries. After that, a worthy Canadian couple, who have proven themselves fortudi
nous by surviving the harsh winter and Stephen Harper's roaming squad of attack
kittens in sweater vests, apologized profusely for all the fuss and is allowed t
o adopt the child from Grandfather Maple.

Another possibility is that the plus size girl would fill the entirety of the fr
ame in the normal grid size, making her size easier to compare to the other grid
s, and by comparison actually appear larger than she really is.
By giving her a larger frame size, and thus more white space on each side, it co
uld have a bit of a slimming effect compared to the others.
Not sure how well all that works though here, just some design theory i pulled o
ut of my ass.

I'm no expert, but my guess is that it has something to do with women's style be
ing tighter fitting. Whereas the relatively loose fitting pants worn by men can
accommodate legs of varying widths, with only the waist and length varying great
ly, the tight fitting pants worn by women are far less versatile. It's not hard
to imagine how manufacturing clothes for women is far more costly than it is for
men. Considering this along with the greater demand among the fairer sex for st
ylish clothing, I think we arrive at at least a plausible explanation for why th
ere is a women's plus and not a men's plus.

That's not true. They tried to set up women's clothing like mens, back in the 20
s. Thing is, men are built similarly - triangle - and are able to use the waist/
length method for purchasing off the rack.
When they did the same for women, it didn't work. The difference in body shape f
or a woman who carries in her stomach versus her ass is night and day. It also d
oesn't help that men wear 2 pieces always, whereas women (especially then) wore
a lot of dresses.
But it doesn't have to do with "getting away with" - they did try to standardize
the women's size.

Well, some 3/4 of their merchandise is for women(this includes female children)
anyway, not that I really give a fuck because I mainly wear jeans and tshirts an
yway.
Would I like a few more options? Yes. Is there much of a market in that one stor
e for those options, probably not- a quick look at the closets of every female r

elative of mine shows that they each have at least 3x the amount of clothing by
volume as me, going much longer before they "cycle through". Most of them are bu
ying these clothes of their own accord, so it stands to reason that it's not as
profitable under the current system to stock as much clothing for men as women.

Well, men don't have boobs, so that helps reduce body variations.
Other than that, men generally care about the "drop" between shoulders and waist
. This can vary a lot between fat guys, skinny-fat guys, lean athletic guys, and
built guys. I'm almost at the point where even "athletic" cuts don't quite have
enough drop and look kind of billowy on me, and I'm not even built. Actually bi

aring a garbage bag.

Women have relative variations in circumference around their boobs, waist and hi
ps. There's also variations in hips vs leg length.
Whereas men, if they are wider or longer around one of these areas, they are gen
erally wider or longer around all three.
Generally speaking, there are exceptions.
This is not probably not enough to explain all of the size difference in terms o
f men's clothing vs women's clothing, but it's certainly a factor.

I don't really know if there's a way to quantitatively answer that question.
Maybe standard deviation of men's waist/inseam/whatever vs. women's. But I don't

Anecdotally men's sizes are generally S/M/L/XL and then you add a few X's for th
e really big dudes. Whereas I doubt that any two girls who both wear a size 4 dr

Correct, many many upscale stores do not offer larger sizes for women, and imo i

. When I shopped at Walmart, they did not have women's dress slacks in my size b
ecause I was too small. Women my size don't shop at (that) Walmart often enough
to make it worth carrying a size smaller than 6. Also, they didn't sell dress sl

I don't buy dress slacks at Walmart but I had a... pants emergency.

Typical stores have 4 sizes of mens shirts (S-XL) and an assortment of pants usu
ally ranging from 28-40 waist and 30-38 inseam with an assortment of combination
s of waist/inseam with some styles that change the fit.
When you get into larger sizes they just start adding X's. I've litterally seen
"XXXXXL" printed on a tag, and I held up the shirt and it was about the size of
a bed sheet. It was right next to the M-L shirts I was shopping for, they were j
ust out of the sizes in-between.
Women don't want this setup. They don't want to see their XXXXXL equivalent next
to a XS/S/M shirt because they can see the discrepancy. They want to be guided
to their section where things fit, and see all the other clothes that are close
to the size they can fit into. It falls right into the vanity sizing mindset for
women's clothes.
I'll put it this way. Would you rather be told you're a 4XL or that you're a Rel
axed Fit Medium? Guys generally don't care, and women do. Which is why they call
it out that way.

It's frustrating that "vanity sizing" has crept over to men's clothing. It used

o to the fitting room with tower of jeans ranging in size from 28x30 to 34x32 ju
st to find something that fits right - and every brand is different so it's not
like you can just count on the size you got last time.
The whole point of putting numbers on the jeans was to make shopping easy! I'm a

l medium and large for the most part because it's cheaper to produce them that w

en's clothing that are plus sizes actually fit quite differently so you can't ju
st get the same style and add a few inches here and there and hope it looks good
. Girls who wear plus sizes are looking for different styles as well. Women's cl

I really don't get it. I think big dudes need to lose weight just as much as I t

But on a more serious note: being overweight is bad for you. Especially later in
life. My great-aunt spent her last 15 years more or less unable to leave home.
My grandmother has hit the same problem. And now I'm worried that my mother is s
tarting to gain a lot of weight as she gets close to her 60s, and looking at wha
t she eats, it's blatantly obvious as to why. I'm not hating on my mother. But I
wish she would eat less and carry out a more healthy life-style especially beca
use she knows very well how miserable her own aunts later years were. If all thr
ee examples here were women, it's merely coincidence. My father is still thin as
a rake and still very active, as was his, and my grandfather on my mothers side
passed long ago.
If someone in our family is overweight we should try to help them, and if we are
ourselves, we should accept help offered.

Sure. Triggers in real life are things that can trigger a negative flashback or
panic attack in people who suffer from post traumatic stress disorder. Tumblr ba
stardizes this by claiming that they have some type of internet PTSD and certain
words or things can trigger them to have a panic attack. It really just boils d
own to hurting fee fee's

You have to understand it's not so much about how offended you actually are. It'

being a victim of EVERYTHING they get attention which is the end goal. If you w

Basically. But it's important to note that the term trigger as a whole isn't com

Could even be innocent smells, sounds or other sensory experiences. For example,
a particular smell of diesel might take a Humvee mechanic to Iraq. The sound of
a gunshot might take a soldier to a firefight.

When I was in treatment for my eating disorder, a "trigger" was something that t
riggered your unhealthy behavior. Like, going to the grocery store was a trigger
for me because of the laxative section. It was very difficult for me to stay aw
ay from it. Hopefully that makes sense?

When something, whether it be words, images, a person, etc... causes (triggers)
someone to re-experience a traumatic memory. Example: rape victims sometimes bec
ome incredibly anxious when their rapist enters the room, or fireworks can set o
ff flashbacks for soldiers with PTSD.
Yes, sometimes people feel uncomfortable around criticism and call it a "trigger
" to shut down conversation, but I think many triggers are legitimate. Reddit do
esn't seem to think that's the case.

Hey, as someone with PTSD I can explain what a trigger is like for me. I can be
just going about my business and I might smell something that reminds me of the
incident, and suddenly I'll be right back there feeling trapped and scared and a
nxious. Fight or flight kicks in. There are images of it happening in my mind. I
can't control it. And that's probably minor compared to what other people with
PTSD can experience.
Genuine triggers are awful. Purposely triggering someone (people actually do tha
t) is a fucking shitty thing to do. I think tumblr has trivialised the term "tri
gger" to the point where people with PTSD don't get taken seriously because they
get lumped in with the ones who take advantage of the term.
There should be a new term for PTSD survivors. "Trigger warning" has been corrup
ted. It's too vague. Something like "flashback warning" would be better.
People with PTSD genuinely need trigger (or flashback) warnings, it's not a joke
. A bad trigger can push someone over the edge.

Men get a small range of sizes, and mostly terrible fitting clothing; women get
a much larger amount of sizes and two separate sections for the larger and the s
maller. Just chill out and try to see it from other perspectives besides just yo
ur own. I mean have you seen how ill-fitting clothing is for men unless they buy
specialty or get it tailored? We have S, M, L, XL, XXL, XXXL. And if you're not
one of those specific measurements that define one of the 6 main sizes, then yo
u're going to be between them and either have way too tight clothing, or way too
loose clothing. Take it from a guy who grew up constantly in-between sizes and
looking fat in everything. Oh and if you're too embarassed to shop for larger cl
othing, then you're just perpetuating "fat-shaming" and not practicing what you
preach about body pride. Don't like shopping for bigger clothes? Put in the work

Fat men also have more variety at standard stores. I've seen Old Navy push well
into the high 40 waists.
The problem is that it's a double standard. There is an infinitely higher bias t
oward overweight women than overweight men.
Both lifestyles are unhealthy, but unless you've been a fatty you don't understa

Food is a fucker and is an easy, shitty solution to many problems. I've been gui

ealthy.
Like when I quit smoking, it had to come from inside. And one thing I can tell y
ou is alienating overweight people isn't the solution. Pretending it doesn't exi
st or basically funnelling overweight people into "fat" stores also doesn't help
. It doesn't do great things to ones self esteem to have to go out of your way a
nd shop at these kinds of stores.

[ ]flyinthesoup 24 points 3 hours ago
I find that the problem with food obsession/binging is somewhat different to mos
t addictions. When you quit smoking, you never have to take up a cigarette again
. You don't need it. Same with other drugs. But you need to eat. There's no way
around it, unless you live off an IV (can you do that?).

I didn't really want to respond, but this really bothered me. It's very narrow v

It's not always a matter of campaigning for an unhealthy lifestyle. You have to
dress for the body you have.
Shopping at a Big & Tall is a much different experience than shopping at stores
specifically targeted at plus size women (although options have improved greatly
for them over the years.) Many of thedr specialty stores have been known to cat
er towards an older demographic. The reality is there are younger women who are
plus size that want to wear the same trends their friends are wearing (prints, c
olors, silhouettes.) Just because a woman is a size 20 does not mean she only wa
nts to wear leopard prints and ruffles.
Also, keep in mind men's fashion and women's fashion are judged on different spe
ctrums. For instance, the male anchor who wore the same suit for a year.
Yes, obesity is an epidemic in America, but that doesn't mean they should be mar
ginalized.
Clothing is a fun means of expression for many people. If a person wants to patr
on a store and that store wants to cater to them what does it matter?

instead of campaigning to normalize unhealthy lifestyles.
To be fair, while most plus sizes can be considered unhealthy, in some stores, t

I never really thought about that. It sort of does show the difference in how of
fended sexes get over their perceived size. I do wish there would be a thin+tall
store though. There probably aren't nearly as many people who fit that category
as there are people who fit the big+tall category, so that'll probably never ha
ppen. But dammit, I want more options for 30x34/30x36 pants!

EDIT: I feel like I'm working at Old Navy again.


Double Edit: I've never seen a Big and Tall store that carries pants that are 30
x34/36. I've seen >32x34, but never my size. It's always geared toward either av

Guys, look at it like this. You go to a parts web site looking for a distributor
for your '53 Hudson Hornet. Would you rather sift through all of the distributo
rs before you discover that they only carry Ford and Chevy parts? Nope, you want
to see a link to "Hudson engine parts" and get down to business. No mention of
Hudson, you go to the next site.
My wife is a big girl and she gets damn frustrated when she sees something she l
ikes, chooses a color and then finds that it isn't available in plus size.

Their responsive design is very grid based and they organized the sets into the
three pars; adults, kids, toddlers. There is no plus men's category so this sing
le category either had to take up two grid positions or go to the bottom as a si
ngle grid otherwise it would mess up their side by side organization. Regardless
sure the designers thought "shit, this looks bad"

A Canadian is born in the midst of a long and cold winter's night, when the spir
its of Moose and Beaver are taken by Grandfather Maple to a hockey rink. If Moos
e out scores Beaver, a boy is born. If Beaver beats Moose, a girl is born. Then
Grandfather Maple takes the child to Seal Fur Woman, who teaches the child its n
ame, the Canadian national anthem, and bestows upon it a love of gravy on French
fries. After that, a worthy Canadian couple, who have proven themselves fortudi
nous by surviving the harsh winter and Stephen Harper's roaming squad of attack
kittens in sweater vests, apologized profusely for all the fuss and is allowed t
o adopt the child from Grandfather Maple.

Another possibility is that the plus size girl would fill the entirety of the fr
ame in the normal grid size, making her size easier to compare to the other grid
s, and by comparison actually appear larger than she really is.
By giving her a larger frame size, and thus more white space on each side, it co
uld have a bit of a slimming effect compared to the others.
Not sure how well all that works though here, just some design theory i pulled o
ut of my ass.

I'm no expert, but my guess is that it has something to do with women's style be
ing tighter fitting. Whereas the relatively loose fitting pants worn by men can
accommodate legs of varying widths, with only the waist and length varying great
ly, the tight fitting pants worn by women are far less versatile. It's not hard
to imagine how manufacturing clothes for women is far more costly than it is for
men. Considering this along with the greater demand among the fairer sex for st
ylish clothing, I think we arrive at at least a plausible explanation for why th
ere is a women's plus and not a men's plus.

That's not true. They tried to set up women's clothing like mens, back in the 20
s. Thing is, men are built similarly - triangle - and are able to use the waist/
length method for purchasing off the rack.
When they did the same for women, it didn't work. The difference in body shape f
or a woman who carries in her stomach versus her ass is night and day. It also d
oesn't help that men wear 2 pieces always, whereas women (especially then) wore
a lot of dresses.
But it doesn't have to do with "getting away with" - they did try to standardize
the women's size.

Well, some 3/4 of their merchandise is for women(this includes female children)
anyway, not that I really give a fuck because I mainly wear jeans and tshirts an
yway.
Would I like a few more options? Yes. Is there much of a market in that one stor
e for those options, probably not- a quick look at the closets of every female r
elative of mine shows that they each have at least 3x the amount of clothing by
volume as me, going much longer before they "cycle through". Most of them are bu
ying these clothes of their own accord, so it stands to reason that it's not as
profitable under the current system to stock as much clothing for men as women.

I make ON promo emails and they usually make W doublewide since it gets the most

However in this case, it looks like this was based off the same layout as the US

I read a very interesting research study conducted by a state board of health an
d education that concluded that obese individuals, once they've lost a majority
of their excess weight (through diet snd exercise - aka the healthy, progressive
way) are 55-65% less likely to experience depression symptoms; 80-92% reported
overall quality of life improvements that they called very significant.
Probably common sense, but hearing those numbers may act as a motivator for you!

Well, men don't have boobs, so that helps reduce body variations.
Other than that, men generally care about the "drop" between shoulders and waist
. This can vary a lot between fat guys, skinny-fat guys, lean athletic guys, and
built guys. I'm almost at the point where even "athletic" cuts don't quite have
enough drop and look kind of billowy on me, and I'm not even built. Actually bi
g dudes need to get almost everything tailored so it doesn't look like you're we
aring a garbage bag.

Women have relative variations in circumference around their boobs, waist and hi
ps. There's also variations in hips vs leg length.
Whereas men, if they are wider or longer around one of these areas, they are gen
erally wider or longer around all three.
Generally speaking, there are exceptions.
This is not probably not enough to explain all of the size difference in terms o
f men's clothing vs women's clothing, but it's certainly a factor.

I don't really know if there's a way to quantitatively answer that question.


Maybe standard deviation of men's waist/inseam/whatever vs. women's. But I don't
know if those kind of statistics are out there.
Anecdotally men's sizes are generally S/M/L/XL and then you add a few X's for th
e really big dudes. Whereas I doubt that any two girls who both wear a size 4 dr
ess look very similar in terms of body shape.

Correct, many many upscale stores do not offer larger sizes for women, and imo i

. When I shopped at Walmart, they did not have women's dress slacks in my size b
ecause I was too small. Women my size don't shop at (that) Walmart often enough
to make it worth carrying a size smaller than 6. Also, they didn't sell dress sl

I don't buy dress slacks at Walmart but I had a... pants emergency.

6'8" chubby guy here. Mens sections RARELY have over XL size shirts, and they NE

feet too wide, BUT have the length for the shirt to cover my freaking stomach,

It doesn't matter overall though, because 99% of stores, as I said, don't go ove

Typical stores have 4 sizes of mens shirts (S-XL) and an assortment of pants usu
ally ranging from 28-40 waist and 30-38 inseam with an assortment of combination
s of waist/inseam with some styles that change the fit.

When you get into larger sizes they just start adding X's. I've litterally seen
"XXXXXL" printed on a tag, and I held up the shirt and it was about the size of
a bed sheet. It was right next to the M-L shirts I was shopping for, they were j
ust out of the sizes in-between.
Women don't want this setup. They don't want to see their XXXXXL equivalent next
to a XS/S/M shirt because they can see the discrepancy. They want to be guided
to their section where things fit, and see all the other clothes that are close
to the size they can fit into. It falls right into the vanity sizing mindset for
women's clothes.
I'll put it this way. Would you rather be told you're a 4XL or that you're a Rel
axed Fit Medium? Guys generally don't care, and women do. Which is why they call
it out that way.

It's frustrating that "vanity sizing" has crept over to men's clothing. It used
to be so easy to find a pair of pants that fit. Once I knew my inseam and waist
size, I could pick out a pair without even having to try it on. Now, I have to g
o to the fitting room with tower of jeans ranging in size from 28x30 to 34x32 ju
st to find something that fits right - and every brand is different so it's not
like you can just count on the size you got last time.
The whole point of putting numbers on the jeans was to make shopping easy! I'm a
man. I don't care if my clothes literally call me a fat ass while I put them on
if it means I can be in and out of the store in five minutes!

en's clothing that are plus sizes actually fit quite differently so you can't ju
st get the same style and add a few inches here and there and hope it looks good

. Girls who wear plus sizes are looking for different styles as well. Women's cl

shirts and pants.

I really don't get it. I think big dudes need to lose weight just as much as I t

But on a more serious note: being overweight is bad for you. Especially later in
life. My great-aunt spent her last 15 years more or less unable to leave home.
My grandmother has hit the same problem. And now I'm worried that my mother is s
tarting to gain a lot of weight as she gets close to her 60s, and looking at wha
t she eats, it's blatantly obvious as to why. I'm not hating on my mother. But I
wish she would eat less and carry out a more healthy life-style especially beca
use she knows very well how miserable her own aunts later years were. If all thr
ee examples here were women, it's merely coincidence. My father is still thin as
a rake and still very active, as was his, and my grandfather on my mothers side
passed long ago.
If someone in our family is overweight we should try to help them, and if we are
ourselves, we should accept help offered.

Hey, as someone with PTSD I can explain what a trigger is like for me. I can be
just going about my business and I might smell something that reminds me of the
incident, and suddenly I'll be right back there feeling trapped and scared and a
nxious. Fight or flight kicks in. There are images of it happening in my mind. I
can't control it. And that's probably minor compared to what other people with
PTSD can experience.
Genuine triggers are awful. Purposely triggering someone (people actually do tha
t) is a fucking shitty thing to do. I think tumblr has trivialised the term "tri
gger" to the point where people with PTSD don't get taken seriously because they
get lumped in with the ones who take advantage of the term.
There should be a new term for PTSD survivors. "Trigger warning" has been corrup
ted. It's too vague. Something like "flashback warning" would be better.
People with PTSD genuinely need trigger (or flashback) warnings, it's not a joke
. A bad trigger can push someone over the edge.

Men get a small range of sizes, and mostly terrible fitting clothing; women get
a much larger amount of sizes and two separate sections for the larger and the s
maller. Just chill out and try to see it from other perspectives besides just yo
ur own. I mean have you seen how ill-fitting clothing is for men unless they buy
specialty or get it tailored? We have S, M, L, XL, XXL, XXXL. And if you're not
one of those specific measurements that define one of the 6 main sizes, then yo
u're going to be between them and either have way too tight clothing, or way too
loose clothing. Take it from a guy who grew up constantly in-between sizes and
looking fat in everything. Oh and if you're too embarassed to shop for larger cl
othing, then you're just perpetuating "fat-shaming" and not practicing what you
preach about body pride. Don't like shopping for bigger clothes? Put in the work
to make your body smaller or get over it.

Fat men also have more variety at standard stores. I've seen Old Navy push well
into the high 40 waists.
The problem is that it's a double standard. There is an infinitely higher bias t
oward overweight women than overweight men.
Both lifestyles are unhealthy, but unless you've been a fatty you don't understa
nd the struggle it takes to get away from there.
Food is a fucker and is an easy, shitty solution to many problems. I've been gui
lty for eating my feelings, especially those times where my weight has already b
een high. It's a lot easier to grab a DQ blizzard than it is to pull yourself up
and go get help.
It's taken me almost 40 years to change my mindset into a healthy one. I fucking
loved food. It's not an easy shift, especially if you've been raised to eat unh
ealthy.
Like when I quit smoking, it had to come from inside. And one thing I can tell y
ou is alienating overweight people isn't the solution. Pretending it doesn't exi
st or basically funnelling overweight people into "fat" stores also doesn't help
. It doesn't do great things to ones self esteem to have to go out of your way a

I find that the problem with food obsession/binging is somewhat different to mos

I didn't really want to respond, but this really bothered me. It's very narrow v

It's not always a matter of campaigning for an unhealthy lifestyle. You have to

dress for the body you have.


Shopping at a Big & Tall is a much different experience than shopping at stores
specifically targeted at plus size women (although options have improved greatly
for them over the years.) Many of thedr specialty stores have been known to cat
er towards an older demographic. The reality is there are younger women who are
plus size that want to wear the same trends their friends are wearing (prints, c
olors, silhouettes.) Just because a woman is a size 20 does not mean she only wa
nts to wear leopard prints and ruffles.
Also, keep in mind men's fashion and women's fashion are judged on different spe
ctrums. For instance, the male anchor who wore the same suit for a year.
Yes, obesity is an epidemic in America, but that doesn't mean they should be mar
ginalized.
Clothing is a fun means of expression for many people. If a person wants to patr
on a store and that store wants to cater to them what does it matter?

I never really thought about that. It sort of does show the difference in how of

as there are people who fit the big+tall category, so that'll probably never ha

EDIT: I feel like I'm working at Old Navy again.
Double Edit: I've never seen a Big and Tall store that carries pants that are 30

What is this shit? How is "women's plus" any different than "big and tall?" "Big
and tall" is MORE of a euphemism.
You're also completely ignoring stores like "Lane Bryant."
The eagerness to upvote anything vaguely "mensrights" or fat shaming related is
disgusting.

[ ]Tysonzero 8 points 5 hours ago
I don't see how you could argue it is MORE of a euphemism.
Plus size seems like more of a euphemism than big. And tall isn't a substitution
for anything, unless you would prefer they use the term "lamppost" to make sure
they aren't overusing euphemisms.

The weird part is, Old Navy DOES have a "Big and Tall" selection in their mens c
lothing, but you don't really see it until you click on the item you want to buy

.
But the womens stuff is separated out as a whole new category of "Womens Plus"
permalink
[ ]queenbrewer 21 points 5 hours ago
I think this is partially because plus sized women's clothing needs to be design
ed more differently than plus sized men's clothing, which usually is just larger
cuts of the same styles.

Yeah, most plus size models are heavy compared to regular models, but very propo

don't usually look like that.
permalinkparent

Plus models are typically 6 foot size 12's. That's in no way obese. Indeed, tall
women wearing the lower end of plus sizes aren't likely to be obese.

Old navy has been getting some negative lime light over their plus side clothing

I get why plus sizes get there own category. If a big girl is checking out a sto
re for the first time, they want to know quickly if they might have something in
their size. That doesn't really explain why their category is wider on that pag
e...
Guys, look at it like this. You go to a parts web site looking for a distributor
for your '53 Hudson Hornet. Would you rather sift through all of the distributo
rs before you discover that they only carry Ford and Chevy parts? Nope, you want
to see a link to "Hudson engine parts" and get down to business. No mention of
Hudson, you go to the next site.
My wife is a big girl and she gets damn frustrated when she sees something she l
ikes, chooses a color and then finds that it isn't available in plus size.
Before you give women too much shit about "enabling an unhealthy lifestyle" you
should also understand that in the clothing industry 'plus size' does not necess
arily mean 400lb folks.

The only legitimate reason I can think of is that the majority of Old Navy custo
mers are plus sized women. Whenever we get a shipment of a product, there are al
most double the amount of larger sizes. Maybe they were trying to give more obvi
ous access to clothing for their (literally) biggest consumer. Gap Inc is usuall
y very literal with their advertisment (eg. Gap toothed women as models for a lo

Another possibility is that the plus size girl would fill the entirety of the fr

s, and by comparison actually appear larger than she really is.
By giving her a larger frame size, and thus more white space on each side, it co
uld have a bit of a slimming effect compared to the others.

I'm no expert, but my guess is that it has something to do with women's style be
ing tighter fitting. Whereas the relatively loose fitting pants worn by men can
accommodate legs of varying widths, with only the waist and length varying great
ly, the tight fitting pants worn by women are far less versatile. It's not hard
to imagine how manufacturing clothes for women is far more costly than it is for
men. Considering this along with the greater demand among the fairer sex for st
ylish clothing, I think we arrive at at least a plausible explanation for why th
ere is a women's plus and not a men's plus.

That's not true. They tried to set up women's clothing like mens, back in the 20
s. Thing is, men are built similarly - triangle - and are able to use the waist/
length method for purchasing off the rack.
When they did the same for women, it didn't work. The difference in body shape f
or a woman who carries in her stomach versus her ass is night and day. It also d
oesn't help that men wear 2 pieces always, whereas women (especially then) wore
a lot of dresses.
But it doesn't have to do with "getting away with" - they did try to standardize
the women's size.

Well, some 3/4 of their merchandise is for women(this includes female children)

Would I like a few more options? Yes. Is there much of a market in that one stor

elative of mine shows that they each have at least 3x the amount of clothing by
volume as me, going much longer before they "cycle through". Most of them are bu

Well, men don't have boobs, so that helps reduce body variations.
Other than that, men generally care about the "drop" between shoulders and waist

built guys. I'm almost at the point where even "athletic" cuts don't quite have
enough drop and look kind of billowy on me, and I'm not even built. Actually bi

Women have relative variations in circumference around their boobs, waist and hi
ps. There's also variations in hips vs leg length.
Whereas men, if they are wider or longer around one of these areas, they are gen
erally wider or longer around all three.
Generally speaking, there are exceptions.
This is not probably not enough to explain all of the size difference in terms o

. When I shopped at Walmart, they did not have women's dress slacks in my size b
ecause I was too small. Women my size don't shop at (that) Walmart often enough
to make it worth carrying a size smaller than 6. Also, they didn't sell dress sl
acks for little girls, so I had to purchase little boy's dress slacks. Normally
I don't buy dress slacks at Walmart but I had a... pants emergency.

That basically is why there are separate garments in each section. There are som
e crossover garments that are available in XS through whatever number of XL, but
not all regular ones can be cut to suit a larger frame. So there's a separate s
election.
They're separate for the sake of ease in shopping.

6'8" chubby guy here. Mens sections RARELY have over XL size shirts, and they NE
VER, EVER, EVER have 2XL AND tall styles. I can get a 3XL shirt and have it be 3
feet too wide, BUT have the length for the shirt to cover my freaking stomach,
OR go with a nicer-fitting 2XL and look like a belly-dancer.
It doesn't matter overall though, because 99% of stores, as I said, don't go ove
r XL.
And don't you even fucking get me started on shoes.. the pair I have right now h
ave holes in them because I just simply don't want to go through the months-long
process of having shoes shipped to you to try them on, and ship them back when
they aren't good enough just to order another pair to try (And yes I can just or
der many pairs in bulk at once and ship back the rest you don't want, but compan
ies hate this and will try and fuck you over if you do this to them in my experi
ence.. "Oh, you want to order 15 pairs and send back 14!? yeah thats a restockin

Typical stores have 4 sizes of mens shirts (S-XL) and an assortment of pants usu
ally ranging from 28-40 waist and 30-38 inseam with an assortment of combination
s of waist/inseam with some styles that change the fit.
When you get into larger sizes they just start adding X's. I've litterally seen
"XXXXXL" printed on a tag, and I held up the shirt and it was about the size of
a bed sheet. It was right next to the M-L shirts I was shopping for, they were j
ust out of the sizes in-between.
Women don't want this setup. They don't want to see their XXXXXL equivalent next
to a XS/S/M shirt because they can see the discrepancy. They want to be guided
to their section where things fit, and see all the other clothes that are close
to the size they can fit into. It falls right into the vanity sizing mindset for
women's clothes.
I'll put it this way. Would you rather be told you're a 4XL or that you're a Rel
axed Fit Medium? Guys generally don't care, and women do. Which is why they call
it out that way.

It's frustrating that "vanity sizing" has crept over to men's clothing. It used
to be so easy to find a pair of pants that fit. Once I knew my inseam and waist
size, I could pick out a pair without even having to try it on. Now, I have to g
o to the fitting room with tower of jeans ranging in size from 28x30 to 34x32 ju
st to find something that fits right - and every brand is different so it's not
like you can just count on the size you got last time.
The whole point of putting numbers on the jeans was to make shopping easy! I'm a
man. I don't care if my clothes literally call me a fat ass while I put them on
if it means I can be in and out of the store in five minutes!

I used to be a buyer in women's fashion so I can explain this quite easily. Ther

l medium and large for the most part because it's cheaper to produce them that w
ay. By adding in another size you're adding a huge amount of inventory. Also wom
en's clothing that are plus sizes actually fit quite differently so you can't ju
st get the same style and add a few inches here and there and hope it looks good
. Girls who wear plus sizes are looking for different styles as well. Women's cl
othing have much more variety in styles where as men's sections are pretty much
shirts and pants.

I really don't get it. I think big dudes need to lose weight just as much as I t
hink big women do. I suppose I discriminate equally.

But on a more serious note: being overweight is bad for you. Especially later in
life. My great-aunt spent her last 15 years more or less unable to leave home.
My grandmother has hit the same problem. And now I'm worried that my mother is s
tarting to gain a lot of weight as she gets close to her 60s, and looking at wha
t she eats, it's blatantly obvious as to why. I'm not hating on my mother. But I
wish she would eat less and carry out a more healthy life-style especially beca
use she knows very well how miserable her own aunts later years were. If all thr
ee examples here were women, it's merely coincidence. My father is still thin as
a rake and still very active, as was his, and my grandfather on my mothers side
passed long ago.
If someone in our family is overweight we should try to help them, and if we are
ourselves, we should accept help offered.

When something, whether it be words, images, a person, etc... causes (triggers)
someone to re-experience a traumatic memory. Example: rape victims sometimes bec

Hey, as someone with PTSD I can explain what a trigger is like for me. I can be
just going about my business and I might smell something that reminds me of the
incident, and suddenly I'll be right back there feeling trapped and scared and a
nxious. Fight or flight kicks in. There are images of it happening in my mind. I
can't control it. And that's probably minor compared to what other people with
PTSD can experience.
Genuine triggers are awful. Purposely triggering someone (people actually do tha
t) is a fucking shitty thing to do. I think tumblr has trivialised the term "tri
gger" to the point where people with PTSD don't get taken seriously because they
get lumped in with the ones who take advantage of the term.
There should be a new term for PTSD survivors. "Trigger warning" has been corrup
ted. It's too vague. Something like "flashback warning" would be better.
People with PTSD genuinely need trigger (or flashback) warnings, it's not a joke
. A bad trigger can push someone over the edge.

Fat men will generally look fine in the same clothes as skinny men, provided the

Men get a small range of sizes, and mostly terrible fitting clothing; women get
a much larger amount of sizes and two separate sections for the larger and the s
maller. Just chill out and try to see it from other perspectives besides just yo
ur own. I mean have you seen how ill-fitting clothing is for men unless they buy
specialty or get it tailored? We have S, M, L, XL, XXL, XXXL. And if you're not
one of those specific measurements that define one of the 6 main sizes, then yo
u're going to be between them and either have way too tight clothing, or way too
loose clothing. Take it from a guy who grew up constantly in-between sizes and
looking fat in everything. Oh and if you're too embarassed to shop for larger cl
othing, then you're just perpetuating "fat-shaming" and not practicing what you
preach about body pride. Don't like shopping for bigger clothes? Put in the work
to make your body smaller or get over it.

Fat men also have more variety at standard stores. I've seen Old Navy push well
into the high 40 waists.
The problem is that it's a double standard. There is an infinitely higher bias t
oward overweight women than overweight men.
Both lifestyles are unhealthy, but unless you've been a fatty you don't understa
nd the struggle it takes to get away from there.
Food is a fucker and is an easy, shitty solution to many problems. I've been gui
lty for eating my feelings, especially those times where my weight has already b
een high. It's a lot easier to grab a DQ blizzard than it is to pull yourself up
and go get help.
It's taken me almost 40 years to change my mindset into a healthy one. I fucking
loved food. It's not an easy shift, especially if you've been raised to eat unh
ealthy.
Like when I quit smoking, it had to come from inside. And one thing I can tell y
ou is alienating overweight people isn't the solution. Pretending it doesn't exi
st or basically funnelling overweight people into "fat" stores also doesn't help

. It doesn't do great things to ones self esteem to have to go out of your way a
nd shop at these kinds of stores.

I find that the problem with food obsession/binging is somewhat different to mos

around it, unless you live off an IV (can you do that?).

I didn't really want to respond, but this really bothered me. It's very narrow v

It's not always a matter of campaigning for an unhealthy lifestyle. You have to
dress for the body you have.
Shopping at a Big & Tall is a much different experience than shopping at stores
specifically targeted at plus size women (although options have improved greatly
for them over the years.) Many of thedr specialty stores have been known to cat
er towards an older demographic. The reality is there are younger women who are
plus size that want to wear the same trends their friends are wearing (prints, c
olors, silhouettes.) Just because a woman is a size 20 does not mean she only wa
nts to wear leopard prints and ruffles.
Also, keep in mind men's fashion and women's fashion are judged on different spe
ctrums. For instance, the male anchor who wore the same suit for a year.
Yes, obesity is an epidemic in America, but that doesn't mean they should be mar
ginalized.
Clothing is a fun means of expression for many people. If a person wants to patr
on a store and that store wants to cater to them what does it matter?

I never really thought about that. It sort of does show the difference in how of

EDIT: I feel like I'm working at Old Navy again.
Double Edit: I've never seen a Big and Tall store that carries pants that are 30

I get why plus sizes get there own category. If a big girl is checking out a sto
re for the first time, they want to know quickly if they might have something in
their size. That doesn't really explain why their category is wider on that pag
e...
Guys, look at it like this. You go to a parts web site looking for a distributor
for your '53 Hudson Hornet. Would you rather sift through all of the distributo
rs before you discover that they only carry Ford and Chevy parts? Nope, you want
to see a link to "Hudson engine parts" and get down to business. No mention of

Hudson, you go to the next site.


My wife is a big girl and she gets damn frustrated when she sees something she l
ikes, chooses a color and then finds that it isn't available in plus size.
Before you give women too much shit about "enabling an unhealthy lifestyle" you
should also understand that in the clothing industry 'plus size' does not necess
arily mean 400lb folks.

The only legitimate reason I can think of is that the majority of Old Navy custo
mers are plus sized women. Whenever we get a shipment of a product, there are al
most double the amount of larger sizes. Maybe they were trying to give more obvi
ous access to clothing for their (literally) biggest consumer. Gap Inc is usuall
y very literal with their advertisment (eg. Gap toothed women as models for a lo
t of their posters)

It's all marketing. Nothing else would match well with "women's plus" (except if
there was a "men's plus") Regardless, it's matched by pairs. "Man" and "women"
look better side by side than "man" and "women's plus".

A Canadian is born in the midst of a long and cold winter's night, when the spir
its of Moose and Beaver are taken by Grandfather Maple to a hockey rink. If Moos
e out scores Beaver, a boy is born. If Beaver beats Moose, a girl is born. Then
Grandfather Maple takes the child to Seal Fur Woman, who teaches the child its n
ame, the Canadian national anthem, and bestows upon it a love of gravy on French
fries. After that, a worthy Canadian couple, who have proven themselves fortudi
nous by surviving the harsh winter and Stephen Harper's roaming squad of attack
kittens in sweater vests, apologized profusely for all the fuss and is allowed t
o adopt the child from Grandfather Maple.

Another possibility is that the plus size girl would fill the entirety of the fr

s, and by comparison actually appear larger than she really is.
By giving her a larger frame size, and thus more white space on each side, it co
uld have a bit of a slimming effect compared to the others.
Not sure how well all that works though here, just some design theory i pulled o

I'm no expert, but my guess is that it has something to do with women's style be
ing tighter fitting. Whereas the relatively loose fitting pants worn by men can
accommodate legs of varying widths, with only the waist and length varying great
ly, the tight fitting pants worn by women are far less versatile. It's not hard
to imagine how manufacturing clothes for women is far more costly than it is for
men. Considering this along with the greater demand among the fairer sex for st
ylish clothing, I think we arrive at at least a plausible explanation for why th
ere is a women's plus and not a men's plus.

That's not true. They tried to set up women's clothing like mens, back in the 20
s. Thing is, men are built similarly - triangle - and are able to use the waist/
length method for purchasing off the rack.
When they did the same for women, it didn't work. The difference in body shape f
or a woman who carries in her stomach versus her ass is night and day. It also d
oesn't help that men wear 2 pieces always, whereas women (especially then) wore
a lot of dresses.
But it doesn't have to do with "getting away with" - they did try to standardize

volume as me, going much longer before they "cycle through". Most of them are bu

built guys. I'm almost at the point where even "athletic" cuts don't quite have

Women have relative variations in circumference around their boobs, waist and hi

Whereas men, if they are wider or longer around one of these areas, they are gen
erally wider or longer around all three.
Generally speaking, there are exceptions.
This is not probably not enough to explain all of the size difference in terms o

Typical stores have 4 sizes of mens shirts (S-XL) and an assortment of pants usu
ally ranging from 28-40 waist and 30-38 inseam with an assortment of combination
s of waist/inseam with some styles that change the fit.
When you get into larger sizes they just start adding X's. I've litterally seen
"XXXXXL" printed on a tag, and I held up the shirt and it was about the size of
a bed sheet. It was right next to the M-L shirts I was shopping for, they were j
ust out of the sizes in-between.
Women don't want this setup. They don't want to see their XXXXXL equivalent next
to a XS/S/M shirt because they can see the discrepancy. They want to be guided
to their section where things fit, and see all the other clothes that are close
to the size they can fit into. It falls right into the vanity sizing mindset for
women's clothes.
I'll put it this way. Would you rather be told you're a 4XL or that you're a Rel
axed Fit Medium? Guys generally don't care, and women do. Which is why they call
it out that way.

I used to be a buyer in women's fashion so I can explain this quite easily. Ther
e is no agenda to make females feel bad. You are our customers we want you to fe
el good. Other than that woman's fashion companies produce clothing in only smal
l medium and large for the most part because it's cheaper to produce them that w
ay. By adding in another size you're adding a huge amount of inventory. Also wom
en's clothing that are plus sizes actually fit quite differently so you can't ju
st get the same style and add a few inches here and there and hope it looks good
. Girls who wear plus sizes are looking for different styles as well. Women's cl
othing have much more variety in styles where as men's sections are pretty much
shirts and pants.

I really don't get it. I think big dudes need to lose weight just as much as I t
hink big women do. I suppose I discriminate equally.
But on a more serious note: being overweight is bad for you. Especially later in
life. My great-aunt spent her last 15 years more or less unable to leave home.
My grandmother has hit the same problem. And now I'm worried that my mother is s
tarting to gain a lot of weight as she gets close to her 60s, and looking at wha
t she eats, it's blatantly obvious as to why. I'm not hating on my mother. But I
wish she would eat less and carry out a more healthy life-style especially beca
use she knows very well how miserable her own aunts later years were. If all thr
ee examples here were women, it's merely coincidence. My father is still thin as
a rake and still very active, as was his, and my grandfather on my mothers side
passed long ago.
If someone in our family is overweight we should try to help them, and if we are
ourselves, we should accept help offered.

Sure. Triggers in real life are things that can trigger a negative flashback or
panic attack in people who suffer from post traumatic stress disorder. Tumblr ba
stardizes this by claiming that they have some type of internet PTSD and certain
words or things can trigger them to have a panic attack. It really just boils d

You have to understand it's not so much about how offended you actually are. It'

When I was in treatment for my eating disorder, a "trigger" was something that t

for me because of the laxative section. It was very difficult for me to stay aw

When something, whether it be words, images, a person, etc... causes (triggers)
someone to re-experience a traumatic memory. Example: rape victims sometimes bec
ome incredibly anxious when their rapist enters the room, or fireworks can set o
ff flashbacks for soldiers with PTSD.
Yes, sometimes people feel uncomfortable around criticism and call it a "trigger
" to shut down conversation, but I think many triggers are legitimate. Reddit do
esn't seem to think that's the case.

Hey, as someone with PTSD I can explain what a trigger is like for me. I can be
just going about my business and I might smell something that reminds me of the
incident, and suddenly I'll be right back there feeling trapped and scared and a
nxious. Fight or flight kicks in. There are images of it happening in my mind. I
can't control it. And that's probably minor compared to what other people with
PTSD can experience.
Genuine triggers are awful. Purposely triggering someone (people actually do tha
t) is a fucking shitty thing to do. I think tumblr has trivialised the term "tri
gger" to the point where people with PTSD don't get taken seriously because they
get lumped in with the ones who take advantage of the term.
There should be a new term for PTSD survivors. "Trigger warning" has been corrup
ted. It's too vague. Something like "flashback warning" would be better.
People with PTSD genuinely need trigger (or flashback) warnings, it's not a joke
. A bad trigger can push someone over the edge.

Fat men shop in the same section as 'men'. Fat women get relegated to their own
shame corner of the store.

Or you could say that fat women get their specific section with clothes tailored
to them. Fat men have to go to a big and tall store to really get anything dece

Or, maybe you just want to be offended and you don't really even know what's goi

Old Navy carry mens' sizes in up to XXXL shirts and 48 inch waist jeans. The "pl
us size" womens section does not go higher than that so yes, larger women have t
heir own section whereas larger men just use the regular mens section.

Plus size clothes are labeled either XXL, XXXL etc., or 1X, 2X, etc. They're sol
d in the Plus size or Missed section, but it's not like they're sold as "Plus si
ze small". Don't worry, fat women certainly aren't coddled or told they are beau
tiful by retailers.
Additionally, the clothes are usually far uglier than the cute skinny people clo
thes over in the next section. "Dear fat women, we know you hate how you look, s

Men get a small range of sizes, and mostly terrible fitting clothing; women get
a much larger amount of sizes and two separate sections for the larger and the s
maller. Just chill out and try to see it from other perspectives besides just yo
ur own. I mean have you seen how ill-fitting clothing is for men unless they buy
specialty or get it tailored? We have S, M, L, XL, XXL, XXXL. And if you're not
one of those specific measurements that define one of the 6 main sizes, then yo
u're going to be between them and either have way too tight clothing, or way too
loose clothing. Take it from a guy who grew up constantly in-between sizes and
looking fat in everything. Oh and if you're too embarassed to shop for larger cl
othing, then you're just perpetuating "fat-shaming" and not practicing what you
preach about body pride. Don't like shopping for bigger clothes? Put in the work
to make your body smaller or get over it.

Fat men also have more variety at standard stores. I've seen Old Navy push well
into the high 40 waists.
The problem is that it's a double standard. There is an infinitely higher bias t
oward overweight women than overweight men.
Both lifestyles are unhealthy, but unless you've been a fatty you don't understa
nd the struggle it takes to get away from there.
Food is a fucker and is an easy, shitty solution to many problems. I've been gui
lty for eating my feelings, especially those times where my weight has already b
een high. It's a lot easier to grab a DQ blizzard than it is to pull yourself up
and go get help.
It's taken me almost 40 years to change my mindset into a healthy one. I fucking
loved food. It's not an easy shift, especially if you've been raised to eat unh
ealthy.
Like when I quit smoking, it had to come from inside. And one thing I can tell y
ou is alienating overweight people isn't the solution. Pretending it doesn't exi
st or basically funnelling overweight people into "fat" stores also doesn't help
. It doesn't do great things to ones self esteem to have to go out of your way a
nd shop at these kinds of stores.

I find that the problem with food obsession/binging is somewhat different to mos

. You don't need it. Same with other drugs. But you need to eat. There's no way
around it, unless you live off an IV (can you do that?).

I didn't really want to respond, but this really bothered me. It's very narrow v
iew.
It's not always a matter of campaigning for an unhealthy lifestyle. You have to
dress for the body you have.
Shopping at a Big & Tall is a much different experience than shopping at stores
specifically targeted at plus size women (although options have improved greatly
for them over the years.) Many of thedr specialty stores have been known to cat
er towards an older demographic. The reality is there are younger women who are
plus size that want to wear the same trends their friends are wearing (prints, c
olors, silhouettes.) Just because a woman is a size 20 does not mean she only wa
nts to wear leopard prints and ruffles.
Also, keep in mind men's fashion and women's fashion are judged on different spe
ctrums. For instance, the male anchor who wore the same suit for a year.
Yes, obesity is an epidemic in America, but that doesn't mean they should be mar
ginalized.
Clothing is a fun means of expression for many people. If a person wants to patr
on a store and that store wants to cater to them what does it matter?

I never really thought about that. It sort of does show the difference in how of
fended sexes get over their perceived size. I do wish there would be a thin+tall
store though. There probably aren't nearly as many people who fit that category
as there are people who fit the big+tall category, so that'll probably never ha
ppen. But dammit, I want more options for 30x34/30x36 pants!
EDIT: I feel like I'm working at Old Navy again.
Double Edit: I've never seen a Big and Tall store that carries pants that are 30
x34/36. I've seen >32x34, but never my size. It's always geared toward either av

It's all marketing. Nothing else would match well with "women's plus" (except if
there was a "men's plus") Regardless, it's matched by pairs. "Man" and "women"
look better side by side than "man" and "women's plus".

Their responsive design is very grid based and they organized the sets into the
three pars; adults, kids, toddlers. There is no plus men's category so this sing

A Canadian is born in the midst of a long and cold winter's night, when the spir
its of Moose and Beaver are taken by Grandfather Maple to a hockey rink. If Moos
e out scores Beaver, a boy is born. If Beaver beats Moose, a girl is born. Then
Grandfather Maple takes the child to Seal Fur Woman, who teaches the child its n
ame, the Canadian national anthem, and bestows upon it a love of gravy on French
fries. After that, a worthy Canadian couple, who have proven themselves fortudi
nous by surviving the harsh winter and Stephen Harper's roaming squad of attack
kittens in sweater vests, apologized profusely for all the fuss and is allowed t
o adopt the child from Grandfather Maple.

Another possibility is that the plus size girl would fill the entirety of the fr
ame in the normal grid size, making her size easier to compare to the other grid
s, and by comparison actually appear larger than she really is.
By giving her a larger frame size, and thus more white space on each side, it co
uld have a bit of a slimming effect compared to the others.
Not sure how well all that works though here, just some design theory i pulled o
ut of my ass.

I'm no expert, but my guess is that it has something to do with women's style be
ing tighter fitting. Whereas the relatively loose fitting pants worn by men can
accommodate legs of varying widths, with only the waist and length varying great
ly, the tight fitting pants worn by women are far less versatile. It's not hard
to imagine how manufacturing clothes for women is far more costly than it is for
men. Considering this along with the greater demand among the fairer sex for st
ylish clothing, I think we arrive at at least a plausible explanation for why th
ere is a women's plus and not a men's plus.

That's not true. They tried to set up women's clothing like mens, back in the 20
s. Thing is, men are built similarly - triangle - and are able to use the waist/
length method for purchasing off the rack.
When they did the same for women, it didn't work. The difference in body shape f
or a woman who carries in her stomach versus her ass is night and day. It also d
oesn't help that men wear 2 pieces always, whereas women (especially then) wore
a lot of dresses.
But it doesn't have to do with "getting away with" - they did try to standardize
the women's size.

ying these clothes of their own accord, so it stands to reason that it's not as
profitable under the current system to stock as much clothing for men as women.

Well, men don't have boobs, so that helps reduce body variations.
Other than that, men generally care about the "drop" between shoulders and waist
. This can vary a lot between fat guys, skinny-fat guys, lean athletic guys, and
built guys. I'm almost at the point where even "athletic" cuts don't quite have
enough drop and look kind of billowy on me, and I'm not even built. Actually bi

Women have relative variations in circumference around their boobs, waist and hi
ps. There's also variations in hips vs leg length.
Whereas men, if they are wider or longer around one of these areas, they are gen
erally wider or longer around all three.
Generally speaking, there are exceptions.
This is not probably not enough to explain all of the size difference in terms o
f men's clothing vs women's clothing, but it's certainly a factor.

I don't really know if there's a way to quantitatively answer that question.
Maybe standard deviation of men's waist/inseam/whatever vs. women's. But I don't

Anecdotally men's sizes are generally S/M/L/XL and then you add a few X's for th
e really big dudes. Whereas I doubt that any two girls who both wear a size 4 dr

Correct, many many upscale stores do not offer larger sizes for women, and imo i

. When I shopped at Walmart, they did not have women's dress slacks in my size b
ecause I was too small. Women my size don't shop at (that) Walmart often enough
to make it worth carrying a size smaller than 6. Also, they didn't sell dress sl

I don't buy dress slacks at Walmart but I had a... pants emergency.

Typical stores have 4 sizes of mens shirts (S-XL) and an assortment of pants usu
ally ranging from 28-40 waist and 30-38 inseam with an assortment of combination
s of waist/inseam with some styles that change the fit.
When you get into larger sizes they just start adding X's. I've litterally seen
"XXXXXL" printed on a tag, and I held up the shirt and it was about the size of
a bed sheet. It was right next to the M-L shirts I was shopping for, they were j
ust out of the sizes in-between.
Women don't want this setup. They don't want to see their XXXXXL equivalent next
to a XS/S/M shirt because they can see the discrepancy. They want to be guided

to their section where things fit, and see all the other clothes that are close
to the size they can fit into. It falls right into the vanity sizing mindset for
women's clothes.
I'll put it this way. Would you rather be told you're a 4XL or that you're a Rel
axed Fit Medium? Guys generally don't care, and women do. Which is why they call
it out that way.

It's frustrating that "vanity sizing" has crept over to men's clothing. It used

o to the fitting room with tower of jeans ranging in size from 28x30 to 34x32 ju
st to find something that fits right - and every brand is different so it's not

like you can just count on the size you got last time.
The whole point of putting numbers on the jeans was to make shopping easy! I'm a

en's clothing that are plus sizes actually fit quite differently so you can't ju

I really don't get it. I think big dudes need to lose weight just as much as I t

But on a more serious note: being overweight is bad for you. Especially later in
life. My great-aunt spent her last 15 years more or less unable to leave home.
My grandmother has hit the same problem. And now I'm worried that my mother is s
tarting to gain a lot of weight as she gets close to her 60s, and looking at wha
t she eats, it's blatantly obvious as to why. I'm not hating on my mother. But I
wish she would eat less and carry out a more healthy life-style especially beca
use she knows very well how miserable her own aunts later years were. If all thr
ee examples here were women, it's merely coincidence. My father is still thin as
a rake and still very active, as was his, and my grandfather on my mothers side
passed long ago.
If someone in our family is overweight we should try to help them, and if we are
ourselves, we should accept help offered.

When I was in treatment for my eating disorder, a "trigger" was something that t
riggered your unhealthy behavior. Like, going to the grocery store was a trigger
for me because of the laxative section. It was very difficult for me to stay aw
ay from it. Hopefully that makes sense?

When something, whether it be words, images, a person, etc... causes (triggers)
someone to re-experience a traumatic memory. Example: rape victims sometimes bec
ome incredibly anxious when their rapist enters the room, or fireworks can set o
ff flashbacks for soldiers with PTSD.
Yes, sometimes people feel uncomfortable around criticism and call it a "trigger
" to shut down conversation, but I think many triggers are legitimate. Reddit do
esn't seem to think that's the case.

So a trigger is a socially acceptable way of saying "This makes me angry and its
their fault, not mine!" ?
permalinkparent
[ ]Kimmere 202 points 5 hours ago
It really shouldn't be socially acceptable though because it pretty much makes a
mockery of people who actually have PTSD because they've experienced more horro

Hey, as someone with PTSD I can explain what a trigger is like for me. I can be
just going about my business and I might smell something that reminds me of the
incident, and suddenly I'll be right back there feeling trapped and scared and a
nxious. Fight or flight kicks in. There are images of it happening in my mind. I
can't control it. And that's probably minor compared to what other people with
PTSD can experience.
Genuine triggers are awful. Purposely triggering someone (people actually do tha
t) is a fucking shitty thing to do. I think tumblr has trivialised the term "tri
gger" to the point where people with PTSD don't get taken seriously because they
get lumped in with the ones who take advantage of the term.
There should be a new term for PTSD survivors. "Trigger warning" has been corrup
ted. It's too vague. Something like "flashback warning" would be better.
People with PTSD genuinely need trigger (or flashback) warnings, it's not a joke
. A bad trigger can push someone over the edge.

Men get a small range of sizes, and mostly terrible fitting clothing; women get
a much larger amount of sizes and two separate sections for the larger and the s
maller. Just chill out and try to see it from other perspectives besides just yo
ur own. I mean have you seen how ill-fitting clothing is for men unless they buy
specialty or get it tailored? We have S, M, L, XL, XXL, XXXL. And if you're not
one of those specific measurements that define one of the 6 main sizes, then yo
u're going to be between them and either have way too tight clothing, or way too
loose clothing. Take it from a guy who grew up constantly in-between sizes and
looking fat in everything. Oh and if you're too embarassed to shop for larger cl
othing, then you're just perpetuating "fat-shaming" and not practicing what you
preach about body pride. Don't like shopping for bigger clothes? Put in the work

Fat men also have more variety at standard stores. I've seen Old Navy push well
into the high 40 waists.
The problem is that it's a double standard. There is an infinitely higher bias t
oward overweight women than overweight men.
Both lifestyles are unhealthy, but unless you've been a fatty you don't understa
nd the struggle it takes to get away from there.
Food is a fucker and is an easy, shitty solution to many problems. I've been gui
lty for eating my feelings, especially those times where my weight has already b
een high. It's a lot easier to grab a DQ blizzard than it is to pull yourself up
and go get help.
It's taken me almost 40 years to change my mindset into a healthy one. I fucking
loved food. It's not an easy shift, especially if you've been raised to eat unh
ealthy.
Like when I quit smoking, it had to come from inside. And one thing I can tell y
ou is alienating overweight people isn't the solution. Pretending it doesn't exi
st or basically funnelling overweight people into "fat" stores also doesn't help
. It doesn't do great things to ones self esteem to have to go out of your way a

It's not always a matter of campaigning for an unhealthy lifestyle. You have to

Shopping at a Big & Tall is a much different experience than shopping at stores
specifically targeted at plus size women (although options have improved greatly
for them over the years.) Many of thedr specialty stores have been known to cat

plus size that want to wear the same trends their friends are wearing (prints, c

nts to wear leopard prints and ruffles.
Also, keep in mind men's fashion and women's fashion are judged on different spe
ctrums. For instance, the male anchor who wore the same suit for a year.
Yes, obesity is an epidemic in America, but that doesn't mean they should be mar
ginalized.
Clothing is a fun means of expression for many people. If a person wants to patr
on a store and that store wants to cater to them what does it matter?

instead of campaigning to normalize unhealthy lifestyles.
To be fair, while most plus sizes can be considered unhealthy, in some stores, t
he plus sizes start at a somewhat healthy weight.

I never really thought about that. It sort of does show the difference in how of
fended sexes get over their perceived size. I do wish there would be a thin+tall
store though. There probably aren't nearly as many people who fit that category
as there are people who fit the big+tall category, so that'll probably never ha
ppen. But dammit, I want more options for 30x34/30x36 pants!
EDIT: I feel like I'm working at Old Navy again.
Double Edit: I've never seen a Big and Tall store that carries pants that are 30
x34/36. I've seen >32x34, but never my size. It's always geared toward either av
erage builds that are very tall, or average sized guys that are very fat.

I don't see how you could argue it is MORE of a euphemism.
Plus size seems like more of a euphemism than big. And tall isn't a substitution

The weird part is, Old Navy DOES have a "Big and Tall" selection in their mens c

But the womens stuff is separated out as a whole new category of "Womens Plus"

I think this is partially because plus sized women's clothing needs to be design

I get why plus sizes get there own category. If a big girl is checking out a sto

their size. That doesn't really explain why their category is wider on that pag
e...
Guys, look at it like this. You go to a parts web site looking for a distributor
for your '53 Hudson Hornet. Would you rather sift through all of the distributo
rs before you discover that they only carry Ford and Chevy parts? Nope, you want
to see a link to "Hudson engine parts" and get down to business. No mention of
Hudson, you go to the next site.
My wife is a big girl and she gets damn frustrated when she sees something she l
ikes, chooses a color and then finds that it isn't available in plus size.
Before you give women too much shit about "enabling an unhealthy lifestyle" you
should also understand that in the clothing industry 'plus size' does not necess
arily mean 400lb folks.

The only legitimate reason I can think of is that the majority of Old Navy custo

Their responsive design is very grid based and they organized the sets into the
three pars; adults, kids, toddlers. There is no plus men's category so this sing
le category either had to take up two grid positions or go to the bottom as a si

A Canadian is born in the midst of a long and cold winter's night, when the spir

e out scores Beaver, a boy is born. If Beaver beats Moose, a girl is born. Then
Grandfather Maple takes the child to Seal Fur Woman, who teaches the child its n
ame, the Canadian national anthem, and bestows upon it a love of gravy on French
fries. After that, a worthy Canadian couple, who have proven themselves fortudi
nous by surviving the harsh winter and Stephen Harper's roaming squad of attack
kittens in sweater vests, apologized profusely for all the fuss and is allowed t

Another possibility is that the plus size girl would fill the entirety of the fr
ame in the normal grid size, making her size easier to compare to the other grid
s, and by comparison actually appear larger than she really is.
By giving her a larger frame size, and thus more white space on each side, it co
uld have a bit of a slimming effect compared to the others.
Not sure how well all that works though here, just some design theory i pulled o

I'm no expert, but my guess is that it has something to do with women's style be
ing tighter fitting. Whereas the relatively loose fitting pants worn by men can
accommodate legs of varying widths, with only the waist and length varying great
ly, the tight fitting pants worn by women are far less versatile. It's not hard
to imagine how manufacturing clothes for women is far more costly than it is for
men. Considering this along with the greater demand among the fairer sex for st
ylish clothing, I think we arrive at at least a plausible explanation for why th
ere is a women's plus and not a men's plus.

That's not true. They tried to set up women's clothing like mens, back in the 20
s. Thing is, men are built similarly - triangle - and are able to use the waist/
length method for purchasing off the rack.
When they did the same for women, it didn't work. The difference in body shape f
or a woman who carries in her stomach versus her ass is night and day. It also d
oesn't help that men wear 2 pieces always, whereas women (especially then) wore
a lot of dresses.
But it doesn't have to do with "getting away with" - they did try to standardize
the women's size.

Well, some 3/4 of their merchandise is for women(this includes female children)
anyway, not that I really give a fuck because I mainly wear jeans and tshirts an

Would I like a few more options? Yes. Is there much of a market in that one stor
e for those options, probably not- a quick look at the closets of every female r
elative of mine shows that they each have at least 3x the amount of clothing by
volume as me, going much longer before they "cycle through". Most of them are bu
ying these clothes of their own accord, so it stands to reason that it's not as
profitable under the current system to stock as much clothing for men as women.

of their excess weight (through diet snd exercise - aka the healthy, progressive
way) are 55-65% less likely to experience depression symptoms; 80-92% reported
overall quality of life improvements that they called very significant.
Probably common sense, but hearing those numbers may act as a motivator for you!

Men don't have as much body variations as women, so the men's clothing range (th

Is it actually true that men's bodies don't vary as much as women's?
permalinkparent
[ ]PigDog4 15 points 6 hours ago
Well, men don't have boobs, so that helps reduce body variations.
Other than that, men generally care about the "drop" between shoulders and waist
. This can vary a lot between fat guys, skinny-fat guys, lean athletic guys, and
built guys. I'm almost at the point where even "athletic" cuts don't quite have
enough drop and look kind of billowy on me, and I'm not even built. Actually bi
g dudes need to get almost everything tailored so it doesn't look like you're we
aring a garbage bag.

[ ]Tonkarz 5 points 6 hours ago
Women have relative variations in circumference around their boobs, waist and hi
ps. There's also variations in hips vs leg length.
Whereas men, if they are wider or longer around one of these areas, they are gen
erally wider or longer around all three.
Generally speaking, there are exceptions.
This is not probably not enough to explain all of the size difference in terms o
f men's clothing vs women's clothing, but it's certainly a factor.
permalinkparent
[ ]Cubelord 3 points 6 hours ago
I don't really know if there's a way to quantitatively answer that question.
Maybe standard deviation of men's waist/inseam/whatever vs. women's. But I don't
know if those kind of statistics are out there.
Anecdotally men's sizes are generally S/M/L/XL and then you add a few X's for th
e really big dudes. Whereas I doubt that any two girls who both wear a size 4 dr
ess look very similar in terms of body shape.

Correct, many many upscale stores do not offer larger sizes for women, and imo i
t's a financial decision on their part, nothing more. It works the other way too
. When I shopped at Walmart, they did not have women's dress slacks in my size b
ecause I was too small. Women my size don't shop at (that) Walmart often enough
to make it worth carrying a size smaller than 6. Also, they didn't sell dress sl
acks for little girls, so I had to purchase little boy's dress slacks. Normally
I don't buy dress slacks at Walmart but I had a... pants emergency.

That basically is why there are separate garments in each section. There are som

not all regular ones can be cut to suit a larger frame. So there's a separate s

They're separate for the sake of ease in shopping.

6'8" chubby guy here. Mens sections RARELY have over XL size shirts, and they NE
VER, EVER, EVER have 2XL AND tall styles. I can get a 3XL shirt and have it be 3
feet too wide, BUT have the length for the shirt to cover my freaking stomach,
OR go with a nicer-fitting 2XL and look like a belly-dancer.
It doesn't matter overall though, because 99% of stores, as I said, don't go ove
r XL.
And don't you even fucking get me started on shoes.. the pair I have right now h
ave holes in them because I just simply don't want to go through the months-long
process of having shoes shipped to you to try them on, and ship them back when
they aren't good enough just to order another pair to try (And yes I can just or

Typical stores have 4 sizes of mens shirts (S-XL) and an assortment of pants usu
ally ranging from 28-40 waist and 30-38 inseam with an assortment of combination
s of waist/inseam with some styles that change the fit.
When you get into larger sizes they just start adding X's. I've litterally seen
"XXXXXL" printed on a tag, and I held up the shirt and it was about the size of
a bed sheet. It was right next to the M-L shirts I was shopping for, they were j
ust out of the sizes in-between.
Women don't want this setup. They don't want to see their XXXXXL equivalent next
to a XS/S/M shirt because they can see the discrepancy. They want to be guided
to their section where things fit, and see all the other clothes that are close
to the size they can fit into. It falls right into the vanity sizing mindset for
women's clothes.
I'll put it this way. Would you rather be told you're a 4XL or that you're a Rel
axed Fit Medium? Guys generally don't care, and women do. Which is why they call
it out that way.

It's frustrating that "vanity sizing" has crept over to men's clothing. It used
to be so easy to find a pair of pants that fit. Once I knew my inseam and waist
size, I could pick out a pair without even having to try it on. Now, I have to g
o to the fitting room with tower of jeans ranging in size from 28x30 to 34x32 ju
st to find something that fits right - and every brand is different so it's not
like you can just count on the size you got last time.
The whole point of putting numbers on the jeans was to make shopping easy! I'm a
man. I don't care if my clothes literally call me a fat ass while I put them on
if it means I can be in and out of the store in five minutes!

l medium and large for the most part because it's cheaper to produce them that w
ay. By adding in another size you're adding a huge amount of inventory. Also wom
en's clothing that are plus sizes actually fit quite differently so you can't ju
st get the same style and add a few inches here and there and hope it looks good
. Girls who wear plus sizes are looking for different styles as well. Women's cl
othing have much more variety in styles where as men's sections are pretty much
shirts and pants.

I really don't get it. I think big dudes need to lose weight just as much as I t
hink big women do. I suppose I discriminate equally.
But on a more serious note: being overweight is bad for you. Especially later in
life. My great-aunt spent her last 15 years more or less unable to leave home.
My grandmother has hit the same problem. And now I'm worried that my mother is s
tarting to gain a lot of weight as she gets close to her 60s, and looking at wha
t she eats, it's blatantly obvious as to why. I'm not hating on my mother. But I
wish she would eat less and carry out a more healthy life-style especially beca

use she knows very well how miserable her own aunts later years were. If all thr
ee examples here were women, it's merely coincidence. My father is still thin as
a rake and still very active, as was his, and my grandfather on my mothers side
passed long ago.
If someone in our family is overweight we should try to help them, and if we are
ourselves, we should accept help offered.

Hey, as someone with PTSD I can explain what a trigger is like for me. I can be
just going about my business and I might smell something that reminds me of the
incident, and suddenly I'll be right back there feeling trapped and scared and a
nxious. Fight or flight kicks in. There are images of it happening in my mind. I

can't control it. And that's probably minor compared to what other people with
PTSD can experience.
Genuine triggers are awful. Purposely triggering someone (people actually do tha
t) is a fucking shitty thing to do. I think tumblr has trivialised the term "tri
gger" to the point where people with PTSD don't get taken seriously because they
get lumped in with the ones who take advantage of the term.
There should be a new term for PTSD survivors. "Trigger warning" has been corrup
ted. It's too vague. Something like "flashback warning" would be better.
People with PTSD genuinely need trigger (or flashback) warnings, it's not a joke
. A bad trigger can push someone over the edge.

Men get a small range of sizes, and mostly terrible fitting clothing; women get
a much larger amount of sizes and two separate sections for the larger and the s
maller. Just chill out and try to see it from other perspectives besides just yo
ur own. I mean have you seen how ill-fitting clothing is for men unless they buy
specialty or get it tailored? We have S, M, L, XL, XXL, XXXL. And if you're not
one of those specific measurements that define one of the 6 main sizes, then yo
u're going to be between them and either have way too tight clothing, or way too
loose clothing. Take it from a guy who grew up constantly in-between sizes and
looking fat in everything. Oh and if you're too embarassed to shop for larger cl
othing, then you're just perpetuating "fat-shaming" and not practicing what you
preach about body pride. Don't like shopping for bigger clothes? Put in the work
to make your body smaller or get over it.

Fat men also have more variety at standard stores. I've seen Old Navy push well
into the high 40 waists.
The problem is that it's a double standard. There is an infinitely higher bias t
oward overweight women than overweight men.
Both lifestyles are unhealthy, but unless you've been a fatty you don't understa
nd the struggle it takes to get away from there.
Food is a fucker and is an easy, shitty solution to many problems. I've been gui
lty for eating my feelings, especially those times where my weight has already b
een high. It's a lot easier to grab a DQ blizzard than it is to pull yourself up
and go get help.
It's taken me almost 40 years to change my mindset into a healthy one. I fucking
loved food. It's not an easy shift, especially if you've been raised to eat unh
ealthy.
Like when I quit smoking, it had to come from inside. And one thing I can tell y
ou is alienating overweight people isn't the solution. Pretending it doesn't exi
st or basically funnelling overweight people into "fat" stores also doesn't help
. It doesn't do great things to ones self esteem to have to go out of your way a

I didn't really want to respond, but this really bothered me. It's very narrow v

It's not always a matter of campaigning for an unhealthy lifestyle. You have to
dress for the body you have.
Shopping at a Big & Tall is a much different experience than shopping at stores
specifically targeted at plus size women (although options have improved greatly
for them over the years.) Many of thedr specialty stores have been known to cat
er towards an older demographic. The reality is there are younger women who are
plus size that want to wear the same trends their friends are wearing (prints, c
olors, silhouettes.) Just because a woman is a size 20 does not mean she only wa
nts to wear leopard prints and ruffles.
Also, keep in mind men's fashion and women's fashion are judged on different spe
ctrums. For instance, the male anchor who wore the same suit for a year.
Yes, obesity is an epidemic in America, but that doesn't mean they should be mar
ginalized.
Clothing is a fun means of expression for many people. If a person wants to patr
on a store and that store wants to cater to them what does it matter?

The weird part is, Old Navy DOES have a "Big and Tall" selection in their mens c
lothing, but you don't really see it until you click on the item you want to buy
.
But the womens stuff is separated out as a whole new category of "Womens Plus"
permalink
[ ]queenbrewer 21 points 5 hours ago
I think this is partially because plus sized women's clothing needs to be design
ed more differently than plus sized men's clothing, which usually is just larger
cuts of the same styles.

Huh. This will get buried, but I make old navy promotional emails and usually th

This is usually women's or men's. I've never seen WP, but that could be an expla

Yeah, most plus size models are heavy compared to regular models, but very propo
rtionate -- no massive bellies or super wide hips. But in real life, obese women
don't usually look like that.
permalinkparent
[ ]riggorous 3 points 2 hours ago
Plus models are typically 6 foot size 12's. That's in no way obese. Indeed, tall
women wearing the lower end of plus sizes aren't likely to be obese.

In real life women don't generally look like non plus sized models either. It's

They do, the rule is the fat person must fit in the seat with the armrests down.

If they insist on leaving them up just call a flight attendant who will find th

people can purchase two seats if they wish, and they'll even refund the extra s

Old navy has been getting some negative lime light over their plus side clothing

men's clothing (not so for men's).

I get why plus sizes get there own category. If a big girl is checking out a sto
re for the first time, they want to know quickly if they might have something in
their size. That doesn't really explain why their category is wider on that pag
e...
Guys, look at it like this. You go to a parts web site looking for a distributor
for your '53 Hudson Hornet. Would you rather sift through all of the distributo
rs before you discover that they only carry Ford and Chevy parts? Nope, you want
to see a link to "Hudson engine parts" and get down to business. No mention of
Hudson, you go to the next site.
My wife is a big girl and she gets damn frustrated when she sees something she l
ikes, chooses a color and then finds that it isn't available in plus size.
Before you give women too much shit about "enabling an unhealthy lifestyle" you
should also understand that in the clothing industry 'plus size' does not necess
arily mean 400lb folks.

The only legitimate reason I can think of is that the majority of Old Navy custo
mers are plus sized women. Whenever we get a shipment of a product, there are al
most double the amount of larger sizes. Maybe they were trying to give more obvi
ous access to clothing for their (literally) biggest consumer. Gap Inc is usuall
y very literal with their advertisment (eg. Gap toothed women as models for a lo
t of their posters)

It's all marketing. Nothing else would match well with "women's plus" (except if

look better side by side than "man" and "women's plus".

Grandfather Maple takes the child to Seal Fur Woman, who teaches the child its n

Another possibility is that the plus size girl would fill the entirety of the fr

ame in the normal grid size, making her size easier to compare to the other grid
s, and by comparison actually appear larger than she really is.
By giving her a larger frame size, and thus more white space on each side, it co
uld have a bit of a slimming effect compared to the others.
Not sure how well all that works though here, just some design theory i pulled o

I'm no expert, but my guess is that it has something to do with women's style be
ing tighter fitting. Whereas the relatively loose fitting pants worn by men can
accommodate legs of varying widths, with only the waist and length varying great
ly, the tight fitting pants worn by women are far less versatile. It's not hard
to imagine how manufacturing clothes for women is far more costly than it is for
men. Considering this along with the greater demand among the fairer sex for st
ylish clothing, I think we arrive at at least a plausible explanation for why th
ere is a women's plus and not a men's plus.

That's not true. They tried to set up women's clothing like mens, back in the 20
s. Thing is, men are built similarly - triangle - and are able to use the waist/
length method for purchasing off the rack.
When they did the same for women, it didn't work. The difference in body shape f
or a woman who carries in her stomach versus her ass is night and day. It also d
oesn't help that men wear 2 pieces always, whereas women (especially then) wore
a lot of dresses.
But it doesn't have to do with "getting away with" - they did try to standardize
the women's size.

Well, some 3/4 of their merchandise is for women(this includes female children)

Would I like a few more options? Yes. Is there much of a market in that one stor
e for those options, probably not- a quick look at the closets of every female r
elative of mine shows that they each have at least 3x the amount of clothing by
volume as me, going much longer before they "cycle through". Most of them are bu

profitable under the current system to stock as much clothing for men as women.

Well, men don't have boobs, so that helps reduce body variations.

built guys. I'm almost at the point where even "athletic" cuts don't quite have
enough drop and look kind of billowy on me, and I'm not even built. Actually bi

Women have relative variations in circumference around their boobs, waist and hi
ps. There's also variations in hips vs leg length.
Whereas men, if they are wider or longer around one of these areas, they are gen
erally wider or longer around all three.
Generally speaking, there are exceptions.
This is not probably not enough to explain all of the size difference in terms o
f men's clothing vs women's clothing, but it's certainly a factor.

Anecdotally men's sizes are generally S/M/L/XL and then you add a few X's for th

ecause I was too small. Women my size don't shop at (that) Walmart often enough
to make it worth carrying a size smaller than 6. Also, they didn't sell dress sl

Typical stores have 4 sizes of mens shirts (S-XL) and an assortment of pants usu
ally ranging from 28-40 waist and 30-38 inseam with an assortment of combination
s of waist/inseam with some styles that change the fit.
When you get into larger sizes they just start adding X's. I've litterally seen
"XXXXXL" printed on a tag, and I held up the shirt and it was about the size of
a bed sheet. It was right next to the M-L shirts I was shopping for, they were j
ust out of the sizes in-between.
Women don't want this setup. They don't want to see their XXXXXL equivalent next
to a XS/S/M shirt because they can see the discrepancy. They want to be guided
to their section where things fit, and see all the other clothes that are close
to the size they can fit into. It falls right into the vanity sizing mindset for
women's clothes.
I'll put it this way. Would you rather be told you're a 4XL or that you're a Rel
axed Fit Medium? Guys generally don't care, and women do. Which is why they call
it out that way.

It's frustrating that "vanity sizing" has crept over to men's clothing. It used
to be so easy to find a pair of pants that fit. Once I knew my inseam and waist
size, I could pick out a pair without even having to try it on. Now, I have to g
o to the fitting room with tower of jeans ranging in size from 28x30 to 34x32 ju
st to find something that fits right - and every brand is different so it's not
like you can just count on the size you got last time.
The whole point of putting numbers on the jeans was to make shopping easy! I'm a
man. I don't care if my clothes literally call me a fat ass while I put them on
if it means I can be in and out of the store in five minutes!

I used to be a buyer in women's fashion so I can explain this quite easily. Ther

l medium and large for the most part because it's cheaper to produce them that w
ay. By adding in another size you're adding a huge amount of inventory. Also wom
en's clothing that are plus sizes actually fit quite differently so you can't ju
st get the same style and add a few inches here and there and hope it looks good
. Girls who wear plus sizes are looking for different styles as well. Women's cl
othing have much more variety in styles where as men's sections are pretty much
shirts and pants.

I really don't get it. I think big dudes need to lose weight just as much as I t
hink big women do. I suppose I discriminate equally.
But on a more serious note: being overweight is bad for you. Especially later in
life. My great-aunt spent her last 15 years more or less unable to leave home.
My grandmother has hit the same problem. And now I'm worried that my mother is s
tarting to gain a lot of weight as she gets close to her 60s, and looking at wha
t she eats, it's blatantly obvious as to why. I'm not hating on my mother. But I
wish she would eat less and carry out a more healthy life-style especially beca
use she knows very well how miserable her own aunts later years were. If all thr
ee examples here were women, it's merely coincidence. My father is still thin as
a rake and still very active, as was his, and my grandfather on my mothers side
passed long ago.
If someone in our family is overweight we should try to help them, and if we are
ourselves, we should accept help offered.

When something, whether it be words, images, a person, etc... causes (triggers)
someone to re-experience a traumatic memory. Example: rape victims sometimes bec

Hey, as someone with PTSD I can explain what a trigger is like for me. I can be
just going about my business and I might smell something that reminds me of the
incident, and suddenly I'll be right back there feeling trapped and scared and a
nxious. Fight or flight kicks in. There are images of it happening in my mind. I
can't control it. And that's probably minor compared to what other people with
PTSD can experience.
Genuine triggers are awful. Purposely triggering someone (people actually do tha
t) is a fucking shitty thing to do. I think tumblr has trivialised the term "tri
gger" to the point where people with PTSD don't get taken seriously because they
get lumped in with the ones who take advantage of the term.
There should be a new term for PTSD survivors. "Trigger warning" has been corrup
ted. It's too vague. Something like "flashback warning" would be better.
People with PTSD genuinely need trigger (or flashback) warnings, it's not a joke
. A bad trigger can push someone over the edge.

The plus size section sizes in XXL, XXXL etc., or 1X, 2X, etc. It's not "normali

off to the back section of the store where the clothes are uglier and the choice
s are sparse.

Fat men will generally look fine in the same clothes as skinny men, provided the

Men get a small range of sizes, and mostly terrible fitting clothing; women get
a much larger amount of sizes and two separate sections for the larger and the s
maller. Just chill out and try to see it from other perspectives besides just yo
ur own. I mean have you seen how ill-fitting clothing is for men unless they buy
specialty or get it tailored? We have S, M, L, XL, XXL, XXXL. And if you're not

one of those specific measurements that define one of the 6 main sizes, then yo
u're going to be between them and either have way too tight clothing, or way too
loose clothing. Take it from a guy who grew up constantly in-between sizes and
looking fat in everything. Oh and if you're too embarassed to shop for larger cl
othing, then you're just perpetuating "fat-shaming" and not practicing what you
preach about body pride. Don't like shopping for bigger clothes? Put in the work
to make your body smaller or get over it.

Fat men also have more variety at standard stores. I've seen Old Navy push well
into the high 40 waists.
The problem is that it's a double standard. There is an infinitely higher bias t
oward overweight women than overweight men.
Both lifestyles are unhealthy, but unless you've been a fatty you don't understa
nd the struggle it takes to get away from there.
Food is a fucker and is an easy, shitty solution to many problems. I've been gui
lty for eating my feelings, especially those times where my weight has already b
een high. It's a lot easier to grab a DQ blizzard than it is to pull yourself up
and go get help.
It's taken me almost 40 years to change my mindset into a healthy one. I fucking
loved food. It's not an easy shift, especially if you've been raised to eat unh
ealthy.
Like when I quit smoking, it had to come from inside. And one thing I can tell y
ou is alienating overweight people isn't the solution. Pretending it doesn't exi
st or basically funnelling overweight people into "fat" stores also doesn't help
. It doesn't do great things to ones self esteem to have to go out of your way a
nd shop at these kinds of stores.

I find that the problem with food obsession/binging is somewhat different to mos

I didn't really want to respond, but this really bothered me. It's very narrow v

It's not always a matter of campaigning for an unhealthy lifestyle. You have to
dress for the body you have.
Shopping at a Big & Tall is a much different experience than shopping at stores
specifically targeted at plus size women (although options have improved greatly
for them over the years.) Many of thedr specialty stores have been known to cat
er towards an older demographic. The reality is there are younger women who are
plus size that want to wear the same trends their friends are wearing (prints, c
olors, silhouettes.) Just because a woman is a size 20 does not mean she only wa
nts to wear leopard prints and ruffles.
Also, keep in mind men's fashion and women's fashion are judged on different spe
ctrums. For instance, the male anchor who wore the same suit for a year.
Yes, obesity is an epidemic in America, but that doesn't mean they should be mar
ginalized.
Clothing is a fun means of expression for many people. If a person wants to patr
on a store and that store wants to cater to them what does it matter?

The only legitimate reason I can think of is that the majority of Old Navy custo
mers are plus sized women. Whenever we get a shipment of a product, there are al
most double the amount of larger sizes. Maybe they were trying to give more obvi
ous access to clothing for their (literally) biggest consumer. Gap Inc is usuall
y very literal with their advertisment (eg. Gap toothed women as models for a lo
t of their posters)

It's all marketing. Nothing else would match well with "women's plus" (except if
there was a "men's plus") Regardless, it's matched by pairs. "Man" and "women"
look better side by side than "man" and "women's plus".

Their responsive design is very grid based and they organized the sets into the
three pars; adults, kids, toddlers. There is no plus men's category so this sing

A Canadian is born in the midst of a long and cold winter's night, when the spir
its of Moose and Beaver are taken by Grandfather Maple to a hockey rink. If Moos
e out scores Beaver, a boy is born. If Beaver beats Moose, a girl is born. Then
Grandfather Maple takes the child to Seal Fur Woman, who teaches the child its n
ame, the Canadian national anthem, and bestows upon it a love of gravy on French
fries. After that, a worthy Canadian couple, who have proven themselves fortudi
nous by surviving the harsh winter and Stephen Harper's roaming squad of attack
kittens in sweater vests, apologized profusely for all the fuss and is allowed t
o adopt the child from Grandfather Maple.

Another possibility is that the plus size girl would fill the entirety of the fr
ame in the normal grid size, making her size easier to compare to the other grid
s, and by comparison actually appear larger than she really is.
By giving her a larger frame size, and thus more white space on each side, it co
uld have a bit of a slimming effect compared to the others.
Not sure how well all that works though here, just some design theory i pulled o
ut of my ass.

Not to mention, a wider tile makes the model seem slimmer. If she were filling a
regular tile, the resulting design would be less appealing.

I'm no expert, but my guess is that it has something to do with women's style be
ing tighter fitting. Whereas the relatively loose fitting pants worn by men can
accommodate legs of varying widths, with only the waist and length varying great
ly, the tight fitting pants worn by women are far less versatile. It's not hard
to imagine how manufacturing clothes for women is far more costly than it is for
men. Considering this along with the greater demand among the fairer sex for st
ylish clothing, I think we arrive at at least a plausible explanation for why th
ere is a women's plus and not a men's plus.

That's not true. They tried to set up women's clothing like mens, back in the 20
s. Thing is, men are built similarly - triangle - and are able to use the waist/

length method for purchasing off the rack.


When they did the same for women, it didn't work. The difference in body shape f
or a woman who carries in her stomach versus her ass is night and day. It also d
oesn't help that men wear 2 pieces always, whereas women (especially then) wore
a lot of dresses.
But it doesn't have to do with "getting away with" - they did try to standardize
the women's size.

Well, some 3/4 of their merchandise is for women(this includes female children)

Would I like a few more options? Yes. Is there much of a market in that one stor

elative of mine shows that they each have at least 3x the amount of clothing by
volume as me, going much longer before they "cycle through". Most of them are bu

profitable under the current system to stock as much clothing for men as women.

Well, men don't have boobs, so that helps reduce body variations.

built guys. I'm almost at the point where even "athletic" cuts don't quite have
enough drop and look kind of billowy on me, and I'm not even built. Actually bi

Women have relative variations in circumference around their boobs, waist and hi
ps. There's also variations in hips vs leg length.
Whereas men, if they are wider or longer around one of these areas, they are gen
erally wider or longer around all three.
Generally speaking, there are exceptions.
This is not probably not enough to explain all of the size difference in terms o
f men's clothing vs women's clothing, but it's certainly a factor.

Anecdotally men's sizes are generally S/M/L/XL and then you add a few X's for th

Typical stores have 4 sizes of mens shirts (S-XL) and an assortment of pants usu
ally ranging from 28-40 waist and 30-38 inseam with an assortment of combination
s of waist/inseam with some styles that change the fit.
When you get into larger sizes they just start adding X's. I've litterally seen
"XXXXXL" printed on a tag, and I held up the shirt and it was about the size of
a bed sheet. It was right next to the M-L shirts I was shopping for, they were j
ust out of the sizes in-between.
Women don't want this setup. They don't want to see their XXXXXL equivalent next
to a XS/S/M shirt because they can see the discrepancy. They want to be guided
to their section where things fit, and see all the other clothes that are close
to the size they can fit into. It falls right into the vanity sizing mindset for
women's clothes.
I'll put it this way. Would you rather be told you're a 4XL or that you're a Rel
axed Fit Medium? Guys generally don't care, and women do. Which is why they call
it out that way.

It's frustrating that "vanity sizing" has crept over to men's clothing. It used

like you can just count on the size you got last time.
The whole point of putting numbers on the jeans was to make shopping easy! I'm a

st get the same style and add a few inches here and there and hope it looks good
. Girls who wear plus sizes are looking for different styles as well. Women's cl
othing have much more variety in styles where as men's sections are pretty much
shirts and pants.

I really don't get it. I think big dudes need to lose weight just as much as I t
hink big women do. I suppose I discriminate equally.
But on a more serious note: being overweight is bad for you. Especially later in
life. My great-aunt spent her last 15 years more or less unable to leave home.
My grandmother has hit the same problem. And now I'm worried that my mother is s
tarting to gain a lot of weight as she gets close to her 60s, and looking at wha
t she eats, it's blatantly obvious as to why. I'm not hating on my mother. But I
wish she would eat less and carry out a more healthy life-style especially beca
use she knows very well how miserable her own aunts later years were. If all thr
ee examples here were women, it's merely coincidence. My father is still thin as
a rake and still very active, as was his, and my grandfather on my mothers side
passed long ago.
If someone in our family is overweight we should try to help them, and if we are
ourselves, we should accept help offered.

Sure. Triggers in real life are things that can trigger a negative flashback or
panic attack in people who suffer from post traumatic stress disorder. Tumblr ba
stardizes this by claiming that they have some type of internet PTSD and certain
words or things can trigger them to have a panic attack. It really just boils d
own to hurting fee fee's

You have to understand it's not so much about how offended you actually are. It'

When I was in treatment for my eating disorder, a "trigger" was something that t
riggered your unhealthy behavior. Like, going to the grocery store was a trigger
for me because of the laxative section. It was very difficult for me to stay aw

When something, whether it be words, images, a person, etc... causes (triggers)
someone to re-experience a traumatic memory. Example: rape victims sometimes bec
ome incredibly anxious when their rapist enters the room, or fireworks can set o
ff flashbacks for soldiers with PTSD.
Yes, sometimes people feel uncomfortable around criticism and call it a "trigger
" to shut down conversation, but I think many triggers are legitimate. Reddit do
esn't seem to think that's the case.

Hey, as someone with PTSD I can explain what a trigger is like for me. I can be
just going about my business and I might smell something that reminds me of the
incident, and suddenly I'll be right back there feeling trapped and scared and a
nxious. Fight or flight kicks in. There are images of it happening in my mind. I
can't control it. And that's probably minor compared to what other people with
PTSD can experience.
Genuine triggers are awful. Purposely triggering someone (people actually do tha
t) is a fucking shitty thing to do. I think tumblr has trivialised the term "tri
gger" to the point where people with PTSD don't get taken seriously because they
get lumped in with the ones who take advantage of the term.
There should be a new term for PTSD survivors. "Trigger warning" has been corrup
ted. It's too vague. Something like "flashback warning" would be better.
People with PTSD genuinely need trigger (or flashback) warnings, it's not a joke
. A bad trigger can push someone over the edge.

It doesn't sound right because you just made a straw man out of my statement. Ev
erything about "plus size" departments and stores is euphemism for, "you are too
large to fit into normal clothes". "Busty", "curvy", "full-figured", etc.

Men get a small range of sizes, and mostly terrible fitting clothing; women get
a much larger amount of sizes and two separate sections for the larger and the s
maller. Just chill out and try to see it from other perspectives besides just yo
ur own. I mean have you seen how ill-fitting clothing is for men unless they buy
specialty or get it tailored? We have S, M, L, XL, XXL, XXXL. And if you're not
one of those specific measurements that define one of the 6 main sizes, then yo
u're going to be between them and either have way too tight clothing, or way too
loose clothing. Take it from a guy who grew up constantly in-between sizes and
looking fat in everything. Oh and if you're too embarassed to shop for larger cl
othing, then you're just perpetuating "fat-shaming" and not practicing what you
preach about body pride. Don't like shopping for bigger clothes? Put in the work
to make your body smaller or get over it.

Fat men also have more variety at standard stores. I've seen Old Navy push well
into the high 40 waists.
The problem is that it's a double standard. There is an infinitely higher bias t
oward overweight women than overweight men.
Both lifestyles are unhealthy, but unless you've been a fatty you don't understa
nd the struggle it takes to get away from there.

Food is a fucker and is an easy, shitty solution to many problems. I've been gui
lty for eating my feelings, especially those times where my weight has already b
een high. It's a lot easier to grab a DQ blizzard than it is to pull yourself up
and go get help.
It's taken me almost 40 years to change my mindset into a healthy one. I fucking
loved food. It's not an easy shift, especially if you've been raised to eat unh
ealthy.
Like when I quit smoking, it had to come from inside. And one thing I can tell y
ou is alienating overweight people isn't the solution. Pretending it doesn't exi
st or basically funnelling overweight people into "fat" stores also doesn't help
. It doesn't do great things to ones self esteem to have to go out of your way a
nd shop at these kinds of stores.

I find that the problem with food obsession/binging is somewhat different to mos
t addictions. When you quit smoking, you never have to take up a cigarette again
. You don't need it. Same with other drugs. But you need to eat. There's no way
around it, unless you live off an IV (can you do that?).

I didn't really want to respond, but this really bothered me. It's very narrow v
iew.
It's not always a matter of campaigning for an unhealthy lifestyle. You have to
dress for the body you have.
Shopping at a Big & Tall is a much different experience than shopping at stores
specifically targeted at plus size women (although options have improved greatly
for them over the years.) Many of thedr specialty stores have been known to cat
er towards an older demographic. The reality is there are younger women who are
plus size that want to wear the same trends their friends are wearing (prints, c
olors, silhouettes.) Just because a woman is a size 20 does not mean she only wa
nts to wear leopard prints and ruffles.
Also, keep in mind men's fashion and women's fashion are judged on different spe
ctrums. For instance, the male anchor who wore the same suit for a year.
Yes, obesity is an epidemic in America, but that doesn't mean they should be mar
ginalized.

Clothing is a fun means of expression for many people. If a person wants to patr
on a store and that store wants to cater to them what does it matter?

I never really thought about that. It sort of does show the difference in how of

store though. There probably aren't nearly as many people who fit that category
as there are people who fit the big+tall category, so that'll probably never ha
ppen. But dammit, I want more options for 30x34/30x36 pants!
EDIT: I feel like I'm working at Old Navy again.
Double Edit: I've never seen a Big and Tall store that carries pants that are 30
x34/36. I've seen >32x34, but never my size. It's always geared toward either av

Guys, look at it like this. You go to a parts web site looking for a distributor

Hudson, you go to the next site.

It's all marketing. Nothing else would match well with "women's plus" (except if
there was a "men's plus") Regardless, it's matched by pairs. "Man" and "women"
look better side by side than "man" and "women's plus".

Get over yourself lady. We're never going to move towards equality or anything u
seful if stupid stuff like this keeps making headlines or front pages of website

se I'm black." "They gave me two frames cause I'm fat."
People like yourself need to stop looking into useless things and do something p

Their responsive design is very grid based and they organized the sets into the
three pars; adults, kids, toddlers. There is no plus men's category so this sing
le category either had to take up two grid positions or go to the bottom as a si

A Canadian is born in the midst of a long and cold winter's night, when the spir
its of Moose and Beaver are taken by Grandfather Maple to a hockey rink. If Moos
e out scores Beaver, a boy is born. If Beaver beats Moose, a girl is born. Then
Grandfather Maple takes the child to Seal Fur Woman, who teaches the child its n
ame, the Canadian national anthem, and bestows upon it a love of gravy on French
fries. After that, a worthy Canadian couple, who have proven themselves fortudi
nous by surviving the harsh winter and Stephen Harper's roaming squad of attack

kittens in sweater vests, apologized profusely for all the fuss and is allowed t
o adopt the child from Grandfather Maple.

Another possibility is that the plus size girl would fill the entirety of the fr
ame in the normal grid size, making her size easier to compare to the other grid
s, and by comparison actually appear larger than she really is.
By giving her a larger frame size, and thus more white space on each side, it co
uld have a bit of a slimming effect compared to the others.
Not sure how well all that works though here, just some design theory i pulled o
ut of my ass.

I'm no expert, but my guess is that it has something to do with women's style be
ing tighter fitting. Whereas the relatively loose fitting pants worn by men can
accommodate legs of varying widths, with only the waist and length varying great
ly, the tight fitting pants worn by women are far less versatile. It's not hard
to imagine how manufacturing clothes for women is far more costly than it is for
men. Considering this along with the greater demand among the fairer sex for st
ylish clothing, I think we arrive at at least a plausible explanation for why th
ere is a women's plus and not a men's plus.

That's not true. They tried to set up women's clothing like mens, back in the 20
s. Thing is, men are built similarly - triangle - and are able to use the waist/
length method for purchasing off the rack.
When they did the same for women, it didn't work. The difference in body shape f
or a woman who carries in her stomach versus her ass is night and day. It also d
oesn't help that men wear 2 pieces always, whereas women (especially then) wore
a lot of dresses.
But it doesn't have to do with "getting away with" - they did try to standardize
the women's size.

Well, some 3/4 of their merchandise is for women(this includes female children)

anyway, not that I really give a fuck because I mainly wear jeans and tshirts an
yway.
Would I like a few more options? Yes. Is there much of a market in that one stor
e for those options, probably not- a quick look at the closets of every female r
elative of mine shows that they each have at least 3x the amount of clothing by
volume as me, going much longer before they "cycle through". Most of them are bu
ying these clothes of their own accord, so it stands to reason that it's not as
profitable under the current system to stock as much clothing for men as women.

I make ON promo emails and they usually make W doublewide since it gets the most
clicks and stick M and WP together.
However in this case, it looks like this was based off the same layout as the US
version which had maternity adjacent to WP. Probably just laziness, didn't want
to disturb the layout for the canada version too much so just made WP doublewid
e.

This is the Canadian site apparently. The US version has maternity next to women

I read a very interesting research study conducted by a state board of health an

of their excess weight (through diet snd exercise - aka the healthy, progressive
way) are 55-65% less likely to experience depression symptoms; 80-92% reported
overall quality of life improvements that they called very significant.
Probably common sense, but hearing those numbers may act as a motivator for you!

Well, men don't have boobs, so that helps reduce body variations.
Other than that, men generally care about the "drop" between shoulders and waist
. This can vary a lot between fat guys, skinny-fat guys, lean athletic guys, and
built guys. I'm almost at the point where even "athletic" cuts don't quite have
enough drop and look kind of billowy on me, and I'm not even built. Actually bi

Women have relative variations in circumference around their boobs, waist and hi
ps. There's also variations in hips vs leg length.
Whereas men, if they are wider or longer around one of these areas, they are gen
erally wider or longer around all three.
Generally speaking, there are exceptions.
This is not probably not enough to explain all of the size difference in terms o
f men's clothing vs women's clothing, but it's certainly a factor.

I don't really know if there's a way to quantitatively answer that question.
Maybe standard deviation of men's waist/inseam/whatever vs. women's. But I don't

Anecdotally men's sizes are generally S/M/L/XL and then you add a few X's for th

ecause I was too small. Women my size don't shop at (that) Walmart often enough
to make it worth carrying a size smaller than 6. Also, they didn't sell dress sl

Typical stores have 4 sizes of mens shirts (S-XL) and an assortment of pants usu
ally ranging from 28-40 waist and 30-38 inseam with an assortment of combination
s of waist/inseam with some styles that change the fit.
When you get into larger sizes they just start adding X's. I've litterally seen
"XXXXXL" printed on a tag, and I held up the shirt and it was about the size of
a bed sheet. It was right next to the M-L shirts I was shopping for, they were j
ust out of the sizes in-between.
Women don't want this setup. They don't want to see their XXXXXL equivalent next
to a XS/S/M shirt because they can see the discrepancy. They want to be guided
to their section where things fit, and see all the other clothes that are close
to the size they can fit into. It falls right into the vanity sizing mindset for
women's clothes.
I'll put it this way. Would you rather be told you're a 4XL or that you're a Rel
axed Fit Medium? Guys generally don't care, and women do. Which is why they call
it out that way.

It's frustrating that "vanity sizing" has crept over to men's clothing. It used

o to the fitting room with tower of jeans ranging in size from 28x30 to 34x32 ju
st to find something that fits right - and every brand is different so it's not
like you can just count on the size you got last time.
The whole point of putting numbers on the jeans was to make shopping easy! I'm a

life. My great-aunt spent her last 15 years more or less unable to leave home.
My grandmother has hit the same problem. And now I'm worried that my mother is s
tarting to gain a lot of weight as she gets close to her 60s, and looking at wha
t she eats, it's blatantly obvious as to why. I'm not hating on my mother. But I
wish she would eat less and carry out a more healthy life-style especially beca
use she knows very well how miserable her own aunts later years were. If all thr
ee examples here were women, it's merely coincidence. My father is still thin as
a rake and still very active, as was his, and my grandfather on my mothers side
passed long ago.
If someone in our family is overweight we should try to help them, and if we are
ourselves, we should accept help offered.

Hey, as someone with PTSD I can explain what a trigger is like for me. I can be
just going about my business and I might smell something that reminds me of the
incident, and suddenly I'll be right back there feeling trapped and scared and a
nxious. Fight or flight kicks in. There are images of it happening in my mind. I
can't control it. And that's probably minor compared to what other people with
PTSD can experience.
Genuine triggers are awful. Purposely triggering someone (people actually do tha
t) is a fucking shitty thing to do. I think tumblr has trivialised the term "tri
gger" to the point where people with PTSD don't get taken seriously because they
get lumped in with the ones who take advantage of the term.

There should be a new term for PTSD survivors. "Trigger warning" has been corrup
ted. It's too vague. Something like "flashback warning" would be better.
People with PTSD genuinely need trigger (or flashback) warnings, it's not a joke
. A bad trigger can push someone over the edge.

Fat men will generally look fine in the same clothes as skinny men, provided the

Men get a small range of sizes, and mostly terrible fitting clothing; women get
a much larger amount of sizes and two separate sections for the larger and the s
maller. Just chill out and try to see it from other perspectives besides just yo
ur own. I mean have you seen how ill-fitting clothing is for men unless they buy
specialty or get it tailored? We have S, M, L, XL, XXL, XXXL. And if you're not
one of those specific measurements that define one of the 6 main sizes, then yo
u're going to be between them and either have way too tight clothing, or way too
loose clothing. Take it from a guy who grew up constantly in-between sizes and
looking fat in everything. Oh and if you're too embarassed to shop for larger cl
othing, then you're just perpetuating "fat-shaming" and not practicing what you
preach about body pride. Don't like shopping for bigger clothes? Put in the work
to make your body smaller or get over it.

Fat men also have more variety at standard stores. I've seen Old Navy push well
into the high 40 waists.
The problem is that it's a double standard. There is an infinitely higher bias t
oward overweight women than overweight men.
Both lifestyles are unhealthy, but unless you've been a fatty you don't understa
nd the struggle it takes to get away from there.
Food is a fucker and is an easy, shitty solution to many problems. I've been gui
lty for eating my feelings, especially those times where my weight has already b
een high. It's a lot easier to grab a DQ blizzard than it is to pull yourself up
and go get help.
It's taken me almost 40 years to change my mindset into a healthy one. I fucking
loved food. It's not an easy shift, especially if you've been raised to eat unh
ealthy.
Like when I quit smoking, it had to come from inside. And one thing I can tell y
ou is alienating overweight people isn't the solution. Pretending it doesn't exi
st or basically funnelling overweight people into "fat" stores also doesn't help
. It doesn't do great things to ones self esteem to have to go out of your way a

I find that the problem with food obsession/binging is somewhat different to mos

I didn't really want to respond, but this really bothered me. It's very narrow v

It's not always a matter of campaigning for an unhealthy lifestyle. You have to
dress for the body you have.
Shopping at a Big & Tall is a much different experience than shopping at stores
specifically targeted at plus size women (although options have improved greatly
for them over the years.) Many of thedr specialty stores have been known to cat
er towards an older demographic. The reality is there are younger women who are
plus size that want to wear the same trends their friends are wearing (prints, c
olors, silhouettes.) Just because a woman is a size 20 does not mean she only wa
nts to wear leopard prints and ruffles.
Also, keep in mind men's fashion and women's fashion are judged on different spe
ctrums. For instance, the male anchor who wore the same suit for a year.
Yes, obesity is an epidemic in America, but that doesn't mean they should be mar
ginalized.
Clothing is a fun means of expression for many people. If a person wants to patr
on a store and that store wants to cater to them what does it matter?

What is this shit? How is "women's plus" any different than "big and tall?" "Big

I don't see how you could argue it is MORE of a euphemism.
Plus size seems like more of a euphemism than big. And tall isn't a substitution
for anything, unless you would prefer they use the term "lamppost" to make sure
they aren't overusing euphemisms.

The weird part is, Old Navy DOES have a "Big and Tall" selection in their mens c

.
But the womens stuff is separated out as a whole new category of "Womens Plus"
permalink
[ ]queenbrewer 21 points 5 hours ago
I think this is partially because plus sized women's clothing needs to be design
ed more differently than plus sized men's clothing, which usually is just larger
cuts of the same styles.

Plus models are typically 6 foot size 12's. That's in no way obese. Indeed, tall
women wearing the lower end of plus sizes aren't likely to be obese.

I get why plus sizes get there own category. If a big girl is checking out a sto
re for the first time, they want to know quickly if they might have something in
their size. That doesn't really explain why their category is wider on that pag
e...
Guys, look at it like this. You go to a parts web site looking for a distributor
for your '53 Hudson Hornet. Would you rather sift through all of the distributo
rs before you discover that they only carry Ford and Chevy parts? Nope, you want
to see a link to "Hudson engine parts" and get down to business. No mention of
Hudson, you go to the next site.
My wife is a big girl and she gets damn frustrated when she sees something she l
ikes, chooses a color and then finds that it isn't available in plus size.
Before you give women too much shit about "enabling an unhealthy lifestyle" you
should also understand that in the clothing industry 'plus size' does not necess
arily mean 400lb folks.

The only legitimate reason I can think of is that the majority of Old Navy custo

most double the amount of larger sizes. Maybe they were trying to give more obvi

y very literal with their advertisment (eg. Gap toothed women as models for a lo

We repopulate when the snow hits. Our young build snowmen that Elsa, praised be

gives us our natural ability to command over our polar bear cavalry, armored moo

Grandfather Maple takes the child to Seal Fur Woman, who teaches the child its n

Another possibility is that the plus size girl would fill the entirety of the fr
ame in the normal grid size, making her size easier to compare to the other grid
s, and by comparison actually appear larger than she really is.
By giving her a larger frame size, and thus more white space on each side, it co
uld have a bit of a slimming effect compared to the others.
Not sure how well all that works though here, just some design theory i pulled o

I'm no expert, but my guess is that it has something to do with women's style be
ing tighter fitting. Whereas the relatively loose fitting pants worn by men can
accommodate legs of varying widths, with only the waist and length varying great
ly, the tight fitting pants worn by women are far less versatile. It's not hard
to imagine how manufacturing clothes for women is far more costly than it is for
men. Considering this along with the greater demand among the fairer sex for st
ylish clothing, I think we arrive at at least a plausible explanation for why th
ere is a women's plus and not a men's plus.

That's not true. They tried to set up women's clothing like mens, back in the 20
s. Thing is, men are built similarly - triangle - and are able to use the waist/
length method for purchasing off the rack.
When they did the same for women, it didn't work. The difference in body shape f
or a woman who carries in her stomach versus her ass is night and day. It also d
oesn't help that men wear 2 pieces always, whereas women (especially then) wore
a lot of dresses.
But it doesn't have to do with "getting away with" - they did try to standardize
the women's size.

Well, some 3/4 of their merchandise is for women(this includes female children)
anyway, not that I really give a fuck because I mainly wear jeans and tshirts an

Would I like a few more options? Yes. Is there much of a market in that one stor
e for those options, probably not- a quick look at the closets of every female r
elative of mine shows that they each have at least 3x the amount of clothing by
volume as me, going much longer before they "cycle through". Most of them are bu
ying these clothes of their own accord, so it stands to reason that it's not as
profitable under the current system to stock as much clothing for men as women.

built guys. I'm almost at the point where even "athletic" cuts don't quite have

Whereas men, if they are wider or longer around one of these areas, they are gen
erally wider or longer around all three.
Generally speaking, there are exceptions.

This is not probably not enough to explain all of the size difference in terms o
f men's clothing vs women's clothing, but it's certainly a factor.

I don't really know if there's a way to quantitatively answer that question.
Maybe standard deviation of men's waist/inseam/whatever vs. women's. But I don't
know if those kind of statistics are out there.
Anecdotally men's sizes are generally S/M/L/XL and then you add a few X's for th
e really big dudes. Whereas I doubt that any two girls who both wear a size 4 dr
ess look very similar in terms of body shape.

I'm fairly certain most women's clothing have arbitrary size cut offs, because A

Correct, many many upscale stores do not offer larger sizes for women, and imo i
t's a financial decision on their part, nothing more. It works the other way too
. When I shopped at Walmart, they did not have women's dress slacks in my size b
ecause I was too small. Women my size don't shop at (that) Walmart often enough
to make it worth carrying a size smaller than 6. Also, they didn't sell dress sl
acks for little girls, so I had to purchase little boy's dress slacks. Normally
I don't buy dress slacks at Walmart but I had a... pants emergency.

That basically is why there are separate garments in each section. There are som

not all regular ones can be cut to suit a larger frame. So there's a separate s
election.

They're separate for the sake of ease in shopping.

6'8" chubby guy here. Mens sections RARELY have over XL size shirts, and they NE
VER, EVER, EVER have 2XL AND tall styles. I can get a 3XL shirt and have it be 3
feet too wide, BUT have the length for the shirt to cover my freaking stomach,
OR go with a nicer-fitting 2XL and look like a belly-dancer.
It doesn't matter overall though, because 99% of stores, as I said, don't go ove
r XL.
And don't you even fucking get me started on shoes.. the pair I have right now h
ave holes in them because I just simply don't want to go through the months-long
process of having shoes shipped to you to try them on, and ship them back when
they aren't good enough just to order another pair to try (And yes I can just or

Typical stores have 4 sizes of mens shirts (S-XL) and an assortment of pants usu
ally ranging from 28-40 waist and 30-38 inseam with an assortment of combination
s of waist/inseam with some styles that change the fit.
When you get into larger sizes they just start adding X's. I've litterally seen
"XXXXXL" printed on a tag, and I held up the shirt and it was about the size of
a bed sheet. It was right next to the M-L shirts I was shopping for, they were j
ust out of the sizes in-between.
Women don't want this setup. They don't want to see their XXXXXL equivalent next
to a XS/S/M shirt because they can see the discrepancy. They want to be guided
to their section where things fit, and see all the other clothes that are close
to the size they can fit into. It falls right into the vanity sizing mindset for
women's clothes.
I'll put it this way. Would you rather be told you're a 4XL or that you're a Rel
axed Fit Medium? Guys generally don't care, and women do. Which is why they call
it out that way.

It's frustrating that "vanity sizing" has crept over to men's clothing. It used
to be so easy to find a pair of pants that fit. Once I knew my inseam and waist
size, I could pick out a pair without even having to try it on. Now, I have to g
o to the fitting room with tower of jeans ranging in size from 28x30 to 34x32 ju
st to find something that fits right - and every brand is different so it's not
like you can just count on the size you got last time.
The whole point of putting numbers on the jeans was to make shopping easy! I'm a
man. I don't care if my clothes literally call me a fat ass while I put them on
if it means I can be in and out of the store in five minutes!

I really don't get it. I think big dudes need to lose weight just as much as I t

But on a more serious note: being overweight is bad for you. Especially later in
life. My great-aunt spent her last 15 years more or less unable to leave home.
My grandmother has hit the same problem. And now I'm worried that my mother is s
tarting to gain a lot of weight as she gets close to her 60s, and looking at wha
t she eats, it's blatantly obvious as to why. I'm not hating on my mother. But I
wish she would eat less and carry out a more healthy life-style especially beca
use she knows very well how miserable her own aunts later years were. If all thr
ee examples here were women, it's merely coincidence. My father is still thin as
a rake and still very active, as was his, and my grandfather on my mothers side
passed long ago.
If someone in our family is overweight we should try to help them, and if we are
ourselves, we should accept help offered.

Hey, as someone with PTSD I can explain what a trigger is like for me. I can be
just going about my business and I might smell something that reminds me of the
incident, and suddenly I'll be right back there feeling trapped and scared and a
nxious. Fight or flight kicks in. There are images of it happening in my mind. I
can't control it. And that's probably minor compared to what other people with
PTSD can experience.
Genuine triggers are awful. Purposely triggering someone (people actually do tha
t) is a fucking shitty thing to do. I think tumblr has trivialised the term "tri
gger" to the point where people with PTSD don't get taken seriously because they
get lumped in with the ones who take advantage of the term.
There should be a new term for PTSD survivors. "Trigger warning" has been corrup
ted. It's too vague. Something like "flashback warning" would be better.
People with PTSD genuinely need trigger (or flashback) warnings, it's not a joke
. A bad trigger can push someone over the edge.

Men get a small range of sizes, and mostly terrible fitting clothing; women get
a much larger amount of sizes and two separate sections for the larger and the s
maller. Just chill out and try to see it from other perspectives besides just yo
ur own. I mean have you seen how ill-fitting clothing is for men unless they buy
specialty or get it tailored? We have S, M, L, XL, XXL, XXXL. And if you're not
one of those specific measurements that define one of the 6 main sizes, then yo
u're going to be between them and either have way too tight clothing, or way too
loose clothing. Take it from a guy who grew up constantly in-between sizes and
looking fat in everything. Oh and if you're too embarassed to shop for larger cl
othing, then you're just perpetuating "fat-shaming" and not practicing what you
preach about body pride. Don't like shopping for bigger clothes? Put in the work

to make your body smaller or get over it.

Fat men also have more variety at standard stores. I've seen Old Navy push well
into the high 40 waists.
The problem is that it's a double standard. There is an infinitely higher bias t
oward overweight women than overweight men.
Both lifestyles are unhealthy, but unless you've been a fatty you don't understa
nd the struggle it takes to get away from there.
Food is a fucker and is an easy, shitty solution to many problems. I've been gui
lty for eating my feelings, especially those times where my weight has already b
een high. It's a lot easier to grab a DQ blizzard than it is to pull yourself up
and go get help.
It's taken me almost 40 years to change my mindset into a healthy one. I fucking
loved food. It's not an easy shift, especially if you've been raised to eat unh
ealthy.
Like when I quit smoking, it had to come from inside. And one thing I can tell y
ou is alienating overweight people isn't the solution. Pretending it doesn't exi
st or basically funnelling overweight people into "fat" stores also doesn't help
. It doesn't do great things to ones self esteem to have to go out of your way a
nd shop at these kinds of stores.

I find that the problem with food obsession/binging is somewhat different to mos

I didn't really want to respond, but this really bothered me. It's very narrow v
iew.
It's not always a matter of campaigning for an unhealthy lifestyle. You have to
dress for the body you have.
Shopping at a Big & Tall is a much different experience than shopping at stores
specifically targeted at plus size women (although options have improved greatly
for them over the years.) Many of thedr specialty stores have been known to cat
er towards an older demographic. The reality is there are younger women who are
plus size that want to wear the same trends their friends are wearing (prints, c
olors, silhouettes.) Just because a woman is a size 20 does not mean she only wa
nts to wear leopard prints and ruffles.
Also, keep in mind men's fashion and women's fashion are judged on different spe
ctrums. For instance, the male anchor who wore the same suit for a year.
Yes, obesity is an epidemic in America, but that doesn't mean they should be mar
ginalized.
Clothing is a fun means of expression for many people. If a person wants to patr
on a store and that store wants to cater to them what does it matter?

I never really thought about that. It sort of does show the difference in how of

as there are people who fit the big+tall category, so that'll probably never ha

EDIT: I feel like I'm working at Old Navy again.
Double Edit: I've never seen a Big and Tall store that carries pants that are 30

They do, the rule is the fat person must fit in the seat with the armrests down.
If they insist on leaving them up just call a flight attendant who will find th
em another seat or if the flight is fully booked remove them from the plane. Fat
people can purchase two seats if they wish, and they'll even refund the extra s
eat on Southwest!

Old navy has been getting some negative lime light over their plus side clothing
recently. Apparently, they charge more for a larger size of the same item in wo
men's clothing (not so for men's).

I get why plus sizes get there own category. If a big girl is checking out a sto
re for the first time, they want to know quickly if they might have something in
their size. That doesn't really explain why their category is wider on that pag
e...
Guys, look at it like this. You go to a parts web site looking for a distributor
for your '53 Hudson Hornet. Would you rather sift through all of the distributo
rs before you discover that they only carry Ford and Chevy parts? Nope, you want
to see a link to "Hudson engine parts" and get down to business. No mention of
Hudson, you go to the next site.
My wife is a big girl and she gets damn frustrated when she sees something she l
ikes, chooses a color and then finds that it isn't available in plus size.
Before you give women too much shit about "enabling an unhealthy lifestyle" you
should also understand that in the clothing industry 'plus size' does not necess
arily mean 400lb folks.

The only legitimate reason I can think of is that the majority of Old Navy custo
mers are plus sized women. Whenever we get a shipment of a product, there are al
most double the amount of larger sizes. Maybe they were trying to give more obvi
ous access to clothing for their (literally) biggest consumer. Gap Inc is usuall
y very literal with their advertisment (eg. Gap toothed women as models for a lo
t of their posters)

It's all marketing. Nothing else would match well with "women's plus" (except if

Their responsive design is very grid based and they organized the sets into the
three pars; adults, kids, toddlers. There is no plus men's category so this sing
le category either had to take up two grid positions or go to the bottom as a si

A Canadian is born in the midst of a long and cold winter's night, when the spir

Grandfather Maple takes the child to Seal Fur Woman, who teaches the child its n
ame, the Canadian national anthem, and bestows upon it a love of gravy on French
fries. After that, a worthy Canadian couple, who have proven themselves fortudi

kittens in sweater vests, apologized profusely for all the fuss and is allowed t

Another possibility is that the plus size girl would fill the entirety of the fr
ame in the normal grid size, making her size easier to compare to the other grid
s, and by comparison actually appear larger than she really is.
By giving her a larger frame size, and thus more white space on each side, it co
uld have a bit of a slimming effect compared to the others.
Not sure how well all that works though here, just some design theory i pulled o

I'm no expert, but my guess is that it has something to do with women's style be
ing tighter fitting. Whereas the relatively loose fitting pants worn by men can
accommodate legs of varying widths, with only the waist and length varying great
ly, the tight fitting pants worn by women are far less versatile. It's not hard
to imagine how manufacturing clothes for women is far more costly than it is for

men. Considering this along with the greater demand among the fairer sex for st
ylish clothing, I think we arrive at at least a plausible explanation for why th
ere is a women's plus and not a men's plus.

That's not true. They tried to set up women's clothing like mens, back in the 20
s. Thing is, men are built similarly - triangle - and are able to use the waist/
length method for purchasing off the rack.
When they did the same for women, it didn't work. The difference in body shape f
or a woman who carries in her stomach versus her ass is night and day. It also d
oesn't help that men wear 2 pieces always, whereas women (especially then) wore
a lot of dresses.
But it doesn't have to do with "getting away with" - they did try to standardize

the women's size.

Well, some 3/4 of their merchandise is for women(this includes female children)

Would I like a few more options? Yes. Is there much of a market in that one stor
e for those options, probably not- a quick look at the closets of every female r
elative of mine shows that they each have at least 3x the amount of clothing by
volume as me, going much longer before they "cycle through". Most of them are bu

profitable under the current system to stock as much clothing for men as women.

Well, men don't have boobs, so that helps reduce body variations.

built guys. I'm almost at the point where even "athletic" cuts don't quite have
enough drop and look kind of billowy on me, and I'm not even built. Actually bi

Women have relative variations in circumference around their boobs, waist and hi
ps. There's also variations in hips vs leg length.
Whereas men, if they are wider or longer around one of these areas, they are gen
erally wider or longer around all three.
Generally speaking, there are exceptions.
This is not probably not enough to explain all of the size difference in terms o

Typical stores have 4 sizes of mens shirts (S-XL) and an assortment of pants usu
ally ranging from 28-40 waist and 30-38 inseam with an assortment of combination
s of waist/inseam with some styles that change the fit.
When you get into larger sizes they just start adding X's. I've litterally seen
"XXXXXL" printed on a tag, and I held up the shirt and it was about the size of
a bed sheet. It was right next to the M-L shirts I was shopping for, they were j
ust out of the sizes in-between.
Women don't want this setup. They don't want to see their XXXXXL equivalent next
to a XS/S/M shirt because they can see the discrepancy. They want to be guided
to their section where things fit, and see all the other clothes that are close
to the size they can fit into. It falls right into the vanity sizing mindset for
women's clothes.
I'll put it this way. Would you rather be told you're a 4XL or that you're a Rel
axed Fit Medium? Guys generally don't care, and women do. Which is why they call
it out that way.

Maybe I'm weird, but I really don't care what the tags say. I just want clothes
that reliably fit without having to guess if I'm a small or an extra large or so
mewhere in between. I wish they would size women's clothes by waist measurement
and inseam instead of this arbitrary bullshit that never ever lines up with what
the size chart says it should be.

Not so much. I was suit shopping at Macy's and when the regular size 16 jacket d

It's frustrating that "vanity sizing" has crept over to men's clothing. It used
to be so easy to find a pair of pants that fit. Once I knew my inseam and waist
size, I could pick out a pair without even having to try it on. Now, I have to g
o to the fitting room with tower of jeans ranging in size from 28x30 to 34x32 ju
st to find something that fits right - and every brand is different so it's not
like you can just count on the size you got last time.
The whole point of putting numbers on the jeans was to make shopping easy! I'm a
man. I don't care if my clothes literally call me a fat ass while I put them on
if it means I can be in and out of the store in five minutes!

them. Surprise! None of them truly fit. 1 pair was skin tight and the other two
were unbutton-able. It's insane!

I used to be a buyer in women's fashion so I can explain this quite easily. Ther

l medium and large for the most part because it's cheaper to produce them that w
ay. By adding in another size you're adding a huge amount of inventory. Also wom
en's clothing that are plus sizes actually fit quite differently so you can't ju
st get the same style and add a few inches here and there and hope it looks good
. Girls who wear plus sizes are looking for different styles as well. Women's cl
othing have much more variety in styles where as men's sections are pretty much
shirts and pants.

I really don't get it. I think big dudes need to lose weight just as much as I t
hink big women do. I suppose I discriminate equally.
But on a more serious note: being overweight is bad for you. Especially later in
life. My great-aunt spent her last 15 years more or less unable to leave home.
My grandmother has hit the same problem. And now I'm worried that my mother is s
tarting to gain a lot of weight as she gets close to her 60s, and looking at wha
t she eats, it's blatantly obvious as to why. I'm not hating on my mother. But I
wish she would eat less and carry out a more healthy life-style especially beca
use she knows very well how miserable her own aunts later years were. If all thr
ee examples here were women, it's merely coincidence. My father is still thin as
a rake and still very active, as was his, and my grandfather on my mothers side
passed long ago.
If someone in our family is overweight we should try to help them, and if we are
ourselves, we should accept help offered.

When I was in treatment for my eating disorder, a "trigger" was something that t

When something, whether it be words, images, a person, etc... causes (triggers)
someone to re-experience a traumatic memory. Example: rape victims sometimes bec

Yes, sometimes people feel uncomfortable around criticism and call it a "trigger

Hey, as someone with PTSD I can explain what a trigger is like for me. I can be
just going about my business and I might smell something that reminds me of the
incident, and suddenly I'll be right back there feeling trapped and scared and a
nxious. Fight or flight kicks in. There are images of it happening in my mind. I
can't control it. And that's probably minor compared to what other people with
PTSD can experience.
Genuine triggers are awful. Purposely triggering someone (people actually do tha
t) is a fucking shitty thing to do. I think tumblr has trivialised the term "tri
gger" to the point where people with PTSD don't get taken seriously because they
get lumped in with the ones who take advantage of the term.
There should be a new term for PTSD survivors. "Trigger warning" has been corrup
ted. It's too vague. Something like "flashback warning" would be better.
People with PTSD genuinely need trigger (or flashback) warnings, it's not a joke
. A bad trigger can push someone over the edge.

Fat men will generally look fine in the same clothes as skinny men, provided the
y are sized properly. Normal women's clothes will look terrible on a "plus size"
woman, because women's clothes are designed for certain body types. Men's cloth
es are more generic.

Plus size clothes are labeled either XXL, XXXL etc., or 1X, 2X, etc. They're sol

Additionally, the clothes are usually far uglier than the cute skinny people clo

Men get a small range of sizes, and mostly terrible fitting clothing; women get
a much larger amount of sizes and two separate sections for the larger and the s
maller. Just chill out and try to see it from other perspectives besides just yo
ur own. I mean have you seen how ill-fitting clothing is for men unless they buy
specialty or get it tailored? We have S, M, L, XL, XXL, XXXL. And if you're not
one of those specific measurements that define one of the 6 main sizes, then yo
u're going to be between them and either have way too tight clothing, or way too
loose clothing. Take it from a guy who grew up constantly in-between sizes and
looking fat in everything. Oh and if you're too embarassed to shop for larger cl
othing, then you're just perpetuating "fat-shaming" and not practicing what you
preach about body pride. Don't like shopping for bigger clothes? Put in the work
to make your body smaller or get over it.

Fat men also have more variety at standard stores. I've seen Old Navy push well
into the high 40 waists.
The problem is that it's a double standard. There is an infinitely higher bias t
oward overweight women than overweight men.
Both lifestyles are unhealthy, but unless you've been a fatty you don't understa
nd the struggle it takes to get away from there.
Food is a fucker and is an easy, shitty solution to many problems. I've been gui
lty for eating my feelings, especially those times where my weight has already b
een high. It's a lot easier to grab a DQ blizzard than it is to pull yourself up
and go get help.
It's taken me almost 40 years to change my mindset into a healthy one. I fucking
loved food. It's not an easy shift, especially if you've been raised to eat unh

ealthy.
Like when I quit smoking, it had to come from inside. And one thing I can tell y
ou is alienating overweight people isn't the solution. Pretending it doesn't exi
st or basically funnelling overweight people into "fat" stores also doesn't help
. It doesn't do great things to ones self esteem to have to go out of your way a
nd shop at these kinds of stores.

I find that the problem with food obsession/binging is somewhat different to mos

around it, unless you live off an IV (can you do that?).

I didn't really want to respond, but this really bothered me. It's very narrow v

It's not always a matter of campaigning for an unhealthy lifestyle. You have to
dress for the body you have.
Shopping at a Big & Tall is a much different experience than shopping at stores
specifically targeted at plus size women (although options have improved greatly
for them over the years.) Many of thedr specialty stores have been known to cat
er towards an older demographic. The reality is there are younger women who are
plus size that want to wear the same trends their friends are wearing (prints, c
olors, silhouettes.) Just because a woman is a size 20 does not mean she only wa
nts to wear leopard prints and ruffles.
Also, keep in mind men's fashion and women's fashion are judged on different spe
ctrums. For instance, the male anchor who wore the same suit for a year.
Yes, obesity is an epidemic in America, but that doesn't mean they should be mar
ginalized.
Clothing is a fun means of expression for many people. If a person wants to patr
on a store and that store wants to cater to them what does it matter?

I never really thought about that. It sort of does show the difference in how of

EDIT: I feel like I'm working at Old Navy again.
Double Edit: I've never seen a Big and Tall store that carries pants that are 30

Guys, look at it like this. You go to a parts web site looking for a distributor
for your '53 Hudson Hornet. Would you rather sift through all of the distributo

to see a link to "Hudson engine parts" and get down to business. No mention of
Hudson, you go to the next site.

I hadn't really thought about this, but there really isn't a lot of marketing fo
r men's plus size fashion... Or even a section for it at department stores that
I can think of.

It's all marketing. Nothing else would match well with "women's plus" (except if
there was a "men's plus") Regardless, it's matched by pairs. "Man" and "women"
look better side by side than "man" and "women's plus".

Their responsive design is very grid based and they organized the sets into the
three pars; adults, kids, toddlers. There is no plus men's category so this sing

A Canadian is born in the midst of a long and cold winter's night, when the spir
its of Moose and Beaver are taken by Grandfather Maple to a hockey rink. If Moos
e out scores Beaver, a boy is born. If Beaver beats Moose, a girl is born. Then
Grandfather Maple takes the child to Seal Fur Woman, who teaches the child its n
ame, the Canadian national anthem, and bestows upon it a love of gravy on French
fries. After that, a worthy Canadian couple, who have proven themselves fortudi
nous by surviving the harsh winter and Stephen Harper's roaming squad of attack
kittens in sweater vests, apologized profusely for all the fuss and is allowed t
o adopt the child from Grandfather Maple.

Another possibility is that the plus size girl would fill the entirety of the fr
ame in the normal grid size, making her size easier to compare to the other grid
s, and by comparison actually appear larger than she really is.
By giving her a larger frame size, and thus more white space on each side, it co
uld have a bit of a slimming effect compared to the others.
Not sure how well all that works though here, just some design theory i pulled o
ut of my ass.

I'm no expert, but my guess is that it has something to do with women's style be
ing tighter fitting. Whereas the relatively loose fitting pants worn by men can
accommodate legs of varying widths, with only the waist and length varying great
ly, the tight fitting pants worn by women are far less versatile. It's not hard
to imagine how manufacturing clothes for women is far more costly than it is for
men. Considering this along with the greater demand among the fairer sex for st
ylish clothing, I think we arrive at at least a plausible explanation for why th
ere is a women's plus and not a men's plus.

That's not true. They tried to set up women's clothing like mens, back in the 20
s. Thing is, men are built similarly - triangle - and are able to use the waist/
length method for purchasing off the rack.
When they did the same for women, it didn't work. The difference in body shape f
or a woman who carries in her stomach versus her ass is night and day. It also d
oesn't help that men wear 2 pieces always, whereas women (especially then) wore
a lot of dresses.
But it doesn't have to do with "getting away with" - they did try to standardize
the women's size.

Well, some 3/4 of their merchandise is for women(this includes female children)
anyway, not that I really give a fuck because I mainly wear jeans and tshirts an
yway.
Would I like a few more options? Yes. Is there much of a market in that one stor
e for those options, probably not- a quick look at the closets of every female r
elative of mine shows that they each have at least 3x the amount of clothing by
volume as me, going much longer before they "cycle through". Most of them are bu

ying these clothes of their own accord, so it stands to reason that it's not as
profitable under the current system to stock as much clothing for men as women.

Well, men don't have boobs, so that helps reduce body variations.
Other than that, men generally care about the "drop" between shoulders and waist
. This can vary a lot between fat guys, skinny-fat guys, lean athletic guys, and
built guys. I'm almost at the point where even "athletic" cuts don't quite have
enough drop and look kind of billowy on me, and I'm not even built. Actually bi
g dudes need to get almost everything tailored so it doesn't look like you're we
aring a garbage bag.

Women have relative variations in circumference around their boobs, waist and hi
ps. There's also variations in hips vs leg length.
Whereas men, if they are wider or longer around one of these areas, they are gen
erally wider or longer around all three.
Generally speaking, there are exceptions.
This is not probably not enough to explain all of the size difference in terms o
f men's clothing vs women's clothing, but it's certainly a factor.

I don't really know if there's a way to quantitatively answer that question.
Maybe standard deviation of men's waist/inseam/whatever vs. women's. But I don't

Anecdotally men's sizes are generally S/M/L/XL and then you add a few X's for th
e really big dudes. Whereas I doubt that any two girls who both wear a size 4 dr

Correct, many many upscale stores do not offer larger sizes for women, and imo i

. When I shopped at Walmart, they did not have women's dress slacks in my size b
ecause I was too small. Women my size don't shop at (that) Walmart often enough
to make it worth carrying a size smaller than 6. Also, they didn't sell dress sl

I don't buy dress slacks at Walmart but I had a... pants emergency.

Typical stores have 4 sizes of mens shirts (S-XL) and an assortment of pants usu
ally ranging from 28-40 waist and 30-38 inseam with an assortment of combination
s of waist/inseam with some styles that change the fit.
When you get into larger sizes they just start adding X's. I've litterally seen
"XXXXXL" printed on a tag, and I held up the shirt and it was about the size of
a bed sheet. It was right next to the M-L shirts I was shopping for, they were j
ust out of the sizes in-between.
Women don't want this setup. They don't want to see their XXXXXL equivalent next
to a XS/S/M shirt because they can see the discrepancy. They want to be guided
to their section where things fit, and see all the other clothes that are close
to the size they can fit into. It falls right into the vanity sizing mindset for
women's clothes.
I'll put it this way. Would you rather be told you're a 4XL or that you're a Rel
axed Fit Medium? Guys generally don't care, and women do. Which is why they call
it out that way.

It's frustrating that "vanity sizing" has crept over to men's clothing. It used

st to find something that fits right - and every brand is different so it's not
like you can just count on the size you got last time.
The whole point of putting numbers on the jeans was to make shopping easy! I'm a

en's clothing that are plus sizes actually fit quite differently so you can't ju
st get the same style and add a few inches here and there and hope it looks good
. Girls who wear plus sizes are looking for different styles as well. Women's cl

I really don't get it. I think big dudes need to lose weight just as much as I t

But on a more serious note: being overweight is bad for you. Especially later in
life. My great-aunt spent her last 15 years more or less unable to leave home.
My grandmother has hit the same problem. And now I'm worried that my mother is s
tarting to gain a lot of weight as she gets close to her 60s, and looking at wha
t she eats, it's blatantly obvious as to why. I'm not hating on my mother. But I
wish she would eat less and carry out a more healthy life-style especially beca
use she knows very well how miserable her own aunts later years were. If all thr
ee examples here were women, it's merely coincidence. My father is still thin as
a rake and still very active, as was his, and my grandfather on my mothers side
passed long ago.
If someone in our family is overweight we should try to help them, and if we are
ourselves, we should accept help offered.

s more or less about being a victim. These people have a huge victim complex, by
being a victim of EVERYTHING they get attention which is the end goal. If you w

Basically. But it's important to note that the term trigger as a whole isn't com
pletely bullshit. There are legitimate triggers, like rape, extreme violence, et
c that should be noted/marked.

Could even be innocent smells, sounds or other sensory experiences. For example,
a particular smell of diesel might take a Humvee mechanic to Iraq. The sound of
a gunshot might take a soldier to a firefight.

When I was in treatment for my eating disorder, a "trigger" was something that t
riggered your unhealthy behavior. Like, going to the grocery store was a trigger
for me because of the laxative section. It was very difficult for me to stay aw
ay from it. Hopefully that makes sense?

When something, whether it be words, images, a person, etc... causes (triggers)
someone to re-experience a traumatic memory. Example: rape victims sometimes bec
ome incredibly anxious when their rapist enters the room, or fireworks can set o
ff flashbacks for soldiers with PTSD.
Yes, sometimes people feel uncomfortable around criticism and call it a "trigger
" to shut down conversation, but I think many triggers are legitimate. Reddit do
esn't seem to think that's the case.

Hey, as someone with PTSD I can explain what a trigger is like for me. I can be
just going about my business and I might smell something that reminds me of the
incident, and suddenly I'll be right back there feeling trapped and scared and a
nxious. Fight or flight kicks in. There are images of it happening in my mind. I
can't control it. And that's probably minor compared to what other people with
PTSD can experience.
Genuine triggers are awful. Purposely triggering someone (people actually do tha
t) is a fucking shitty thing to do. I think tumblr has trivialised the term "tri
gger" to the point where people with PTSD don't get taken seriously because they
get lumped in with the ones who take advantage of the term.
There should be a new term for PTSD survivors. "Trigger warning" has been corrup
ted. It's too vague. Something like "flashback warning" would be better.
People with PTSD genuinely need trigger (or flashback) warnings, it's not a joke
. A bad trigger can push someone over the edge.

Men get a small range of sizes, and mostly terrible fitting clothing; women get
a much larger amount of sizes and two separate sections for the larger and the s
maller. Just chill out and try to see it from other perspectives besides just yo
ur own. I mean have you seen how ill-fitting clothing is for men unless they buy
specialty or get it tailored? We have S, M, L, XL, XXL, XXXL. And if you're not
one of those specific measurements that define one of the 6 main sizes, then yo
u're going to be between them and either have way too tight clothing, or way too
loose clothing. Take it from a guy who grew up constantly in-between sizes and
looking fat in everything. Oh and if you're too embarassed to shop for larger cl
othing, then you're just perpetuating "fat-shaming" and not practicing what you
preach about body pride. Don't like shopping for bigger clothes? Put in the work
to make your body smaller or get over it.

Fat men also have more variety at standard stores. I've seen Old Navy push well
into the high 40 waists.
The problem is that it's a double standard. There is an infinitely higher bias t
oward overweight women than overweight men.
Both lifestyles are unhealthy, but unless you've been a fatty you don't understa
nd the struggle it takes to get away from there.
Food is a fucker and is an easy, shitty solution to many problems. I've been gui
lty for eating my feelings, especially those times where my weight has already b
een high. It's a lot easier to grab a DQ blizzard than it is to pull yourself up
and go get help.
It's taken me almost 40 years to change my mindset into a healthy one. I fucking
loved food. It's not an easy shift, especially if you've been raised to eat unh
ealthy.
Like when I quit smoking, it had to come from inside. And one thing I can tell y
ou is alienating overweight people isn't the solution. Pretending it doesn't exi
st or basically funnelling overweight people into "fat" stores also doesn't help
. It doesn't do great things to ones self esteem to have to go out of your way a

. You don't need it. Same with other drugs. But you need to eat. There's no way
around it, unless you live off an IV (can you do that?).

I didn't really want to respond, but this really bothered me. It's very narrow v
iew.
It's not always a matter of campaigning for an unhealthy lifestyle. You have to
dress for the body you have.
Shopping at a Big & Tall is a much different experience than shopping at stores
specifically targeted at plus size women (although options have improved greatly
for them over the years.) Many of thedr specialty stores have been known to cat
er towards an older demographic. The reality is there are younger women who are
plus size that want to wear the same trends their friends are wearing (prints, c
olors, silhouettes.) Just because a woman is a size 20 does not mean she only wa
nts to wear leopard prints and ruffles.
Also, keep in mind men's fashion and women's fashion are judged on different spe
ctrums. For instance, the male anchor who wore the same suit for a year.
Yes, obesity is an epidemic in America, but that doesn't mean they should be mar
ginalized.
Clothing is a fun means of expression for many people. If a person wants to patr
on a store and that store wants to cater to them what does it matter?

instead of campaigning to normalize unhealthy lifestyles.
To be fair, while most plus sizes can be considered unhealthy, in some stores, t

I never really thought about that. It sort of does show the difference in how of
fended sexes get over their perceived size. I do wish there would be a thin+tall
store though. There probably aren't nearly as many people who fit that category
as there are people who fit the big+tall category, so that'll probably never ha
ppen. But dammit, I want more options for 30x34/30x36 pants!
EDIT: I feel like I'm working at Old Navy again.
Double Edit: I've never seen a Big and Tall store that carries pants that are 30

x34/36. I've seen >32x34, but never my size. It's always geared toward either av

I get why plus sizes get there own category. If a big girl is checking out a sto

Guys, look at it like this. You go to a parts web site looking for a distributor
for your '53 Hudson Hornet. Would you rather sift through all of the distributo
rs before you discover that they only carry Ford and Chevy parts? Nope, you want
to see a link to "Hudson engine parts" and get down to business. No mention of
Hudson, you go to the next site.
My wife is a big girl and she gets damn frustrated when she sees something she l
ikes, chooses a color and then finds that it isn't available in plus size.
Before you give women too much shit about "enabling an unhealthy lifestyle" you
should also understand that in the clothing industry 'plus size' does not necess
arily mean 400lb folks.

Their responsive design is very grid based and they organized the sets into the
three pars; adults, kids, toddlers. There is no plus men's category so this sing
le category either had to take up two grid positions or go to the bottom as a si

A Canadian is born in the midst of a long and cold winter's night, when the spir
its of Moose and Beaver are taken by Grandfather Maple to a hockey rink. If Moos
e out scores Beaver, a boy is born. If Beaver beats Moose, a girl is born. Then
Grandfather Maple takes the child to Seal Fur Woman, who teaches the child its n
ame, the Canadian national anthem, and bestows upon it a love of gravy on French
fries. After that, a worthy Canadian couple, who have proven themselves fortudi
nous by surviving the harsh winter and Stephen Harper's roaming squad of attack
kittens in sweater vests, apologized profusely for all the fuss and is allowed t
o adopt the child from Grandfather Maple.

Another possibility is that the plus size girl would fill the entirety of the fr
ame in the normal grid size, making her size easier to compare to the other grid
s, and by comparison actually appear larger than she really is.
By giving her a larger frame size, and thus more white space on each side, it co
uld have a bit of a slimming effect compared to the others.
Not sure how well all that works though here, just some design theory i pulled o
ut of my ass.

I'm no expert, but my guess is that it has something to do with women's style be
ing tighter fitting. Whereas the relatively loose fitting pants worn by men can
accommodate legs of varying widths, with only the waist and length varying great
ly, the tight fitting pants worn by women are far less versatile. It's not hard
to imagine how manufacturing clothes for women is far more costly than it is for
men. Considering this along with the greater demand among the fairer sex for st
ylish clothing, I think we arrive at at least a plausible explanation for why th
ere is a women's plus and not a men's plus.

That's not true. They tried to set up women's clothing like mens, back in the 20
s. Thing is, men are built similarly - triangle - and are able to use the waist/
length method for purchasing off the rack.
When they did the same for women, it didn't work. The difference in body shape f
or a woman who carries in her stomach versus her ass is night and day. It also d
oesn't help that men wear 2 pieces always, whereas women (especially then) wore
a lot of dresses.
But it doesn't have to do with "getting away with" - they did try to standardize
the women's size.

Well, some 3/4 of their merchandise is for women(this includes female children)
anyway, not that I really give a fuck because I mainly wear jeans and tshirts an
yway.
Would I like a few more options? Yes. Is there much of a market in that one stor
e for those options, probably not- a quick look at the closets of every female r
elative of mine shows that they each have at least 3x the amount of clothing by
volume as me, going much longer before they "cycle through". Most of them are bu
ying these clothes of their own accord, so it stands to reason that it's not as
profitable under the current system to stock as much clothing for men as women.

way) are 55-65% less likely to experience depression symptoms; 80-92% reported
overall quality of life improvements that they called very significant.
Probably common sense, but hearing those numbers may act as a motivator for you!

Well, men don't have boobs, so that helps reduce body variations.
Other than that, men generally care about the "drop" between shoulders and waist
. This can vary a lot between fat guys, skinny-fat guys, lean athletic guys, and
built guys. I'm almost at the point where even "athletic" cuts don't quite have
enough drop and look kind of billowy on me, and I'm not even built. Actually bi
g dudes need to get almost everything tailored so it doesn't look like you're we

Women have relative variations in circumference around their boobs, waist and hi
ps. There's also variations in hips vs leg length.
Whereas men, if they are wider or longer around one of these areas, they are gen
erally wider or longer around all three.
Generally speaking, there are exceptions.
This is not probably not enough to explain all of the size difference in terms o
f men's clothing vs women's clothing, but it's certainly a factor.

I don't really know if there's a way to quantitatively answer that question.

Anecdotally men's sizes are generally S/M/L/XL and then you add a few X's for th

Correct, many many upscale stores do not offer larger sizes for women, and imo i

. When I shopped at Walmart, they did not have women's dress slacks in my size b
ecause I was too small. Women my size don't shop at (that) Walmart often enough
to make it worth carrying a size smaller than 6. Also, they didn't sell dress sl

I don't buy dress slacks at Walmart but I had a... pants emergency.

It doesn't matter overall though, because 99% of stores, as I said, don't go ove

Typical stores have 4 sizes of mens shirts (S-XL) and an assortment of pants usu
ally ranging from 28-40 waist and 30-38 inseam with an assortment of combination
s of waist/inseam with some styles that change the fit.
When you get into larger sizes they just start adding X's. I've litterally seen
"XXXXXL" printed on a tag, and I held up the shirt and it was about the size of

a bed sheet. It was right next to the M-L shirts I was shopping for, they were j
ust out of the sizes in-between.
Women don't want this setup. They don't want to see their XXXXXL equivalent next
to a XS/S/M shirt because they can see the discrepancy. They want to be guided
to their section where things fit, and see all the other clothes that are close
to the size they can fit into. It falls right into the vanity sizing mindset for
women's clothes.
I'll put it this way. Would you rather be told you're a 4XL or that you're a Rel
axed Fit Medium? Guys generally don't care, and women do. Which is why they call
it out that way.

It's frustrating that "vanity sizing" has crept over to men's clothing. It used

size, I could pick out a pair without even having to try it on. Now, I have to g
o to the fitting room with tower of jeans ranging in size from 28x30 to 34x32 ju
st to find something that fits right - and every brand is different so it's not
like you can just count on the size you got last time.
The whole point of putting numbers on the jeans was to make shopping easy! I'm a
man. I don't care if my clothes literally call me a fat ass while I put them on
if it means I can be in and out of the store in five minutes!

en's clothing that are plus sizes actually fit quite differently so you can't ju

shirts and pants.

I really don't get it. I think big dudes need to lose weight just as much as I t

But on a more serious note: being overweight is bad for you. Especially later in
life. My great-aunt spent her last 15 years more or less unable to leave home.
My grandmother has hit the same problem. And now I'm worried that my mother is s
tarting to gain a lot of weight as she gets close to her 60s, and looking at wha
t she eats, it's blatantly obvious as to why. I'm not hating on my mother. But I
wish she would eat less and carry out a more healthy life-style especially beca
use she knows very well how miserable her own aunts later years were. If all thr
ee examples here were women, it's merely coincidence. My father is still thin as
a rake and still very active, as was his, and my grandfather on my mothers side
passed long ago.
If someone in our family is overweight we should try to help them, and if we are
ourselves, we should accept help offered.

Hey, as someone with PTSD I can explain what a trigger is like for me. I can be
just going about my business and I might smell something that reminds me of the
incident, and suddenly I'll be right back there feeling trapped and scared and a
nxious. Fight or flight kicks in. There are images of it happening in my mind. I
can't control it. And that's probably minor compared to what other people with
PTSD can experience.
Genuine triggers are awful. Purposely triggering someone (people actually do tha
t) is a fucking shitty thing to do. I think tumblr has trivialised the term "tri
gger" to the point where people with PTSD don't get taken seriously because they
get lumped in with the ones who take advantage of the term.
There should be a new term for PTSD survivors. "Trigger warning" has been corrup
ted. It's too vague. Something like "flashback warning" would be better.
People with PTSD genuinely need trigger (or flashback) warnings, it's not a joke
. A bad trigger can push someone over the edge.

Fat men will generally look fine in the same clothes as skinny men, provided the

Men get a small range of sizes, and mostly terrible fitting clothing; women get
a much larger amount of sizes and two separate sections for the larger and the s
maller. Just chill out and try to see it from other perspectives besides just yo
ur own. I mean have you seen how ill-fitting clothing is for men unless they buy
specialty or get it tailored? We have S, M, L, XL, XXL, XXXL. And if you're not
one of those specific measurements that define one of the 6 main sizes, then yo
u're going to be between them and either have way too tight clothing, or way too
loose clothing. Take it from a guy who grew up constantly in-between sizes and
looking fat in everything. Oh and if you're too embarassed to shop for larger cl
othing, then you're just perpetuating "fat-shaming" and not practicing what you
preach about body pride. Don't like shopping for bigger clothes? Put in the work
to make your body smaller or get over it.

Fat men also have more variety at standard stores. I've seen Old Navy push well
into the high 40 waists.
The problem is that it's a double standard. There is an infinitely higher bias t
oward overweight women than overweight men.
Both lifestyles are unhealthy, but unless you've been a fatty you don't understa
nd the struggle it takes to get away from there.
Food is a fucker and is an easy, shitty solution to many problems. I've been gui
lty for eating my feelings, especially those times where my weight has already b
een high. It's a lot easier to grab a DQ blizzard than it is to pull yourself up
and go get help.
It's taken me almost 40 years to change my mindset into a healthy one. I fucking
loved food. It's not an easy shift, especially if you've been raised to eat unh
ealthy.
Like when I quit smoking, it had to come from inside. And one thing I can tell y
ou is alienating overweight people isn't the solution. Pretending it doesn't exi
st or basically funnelling overweight people into "fat" stores also doesn't help
. It doesn't do great things to ones self esteem to have to go out of your way a
nd shop at these kinds of stores.

I find that the problem with food obsession/binging is somewhat different to mos

I didn't really want to respond, but this really bothered me. It's very narrow v

It's not always a matter of campaigning for an unhealthy lifestyle. You have to
dress for the body you have.
Shopping at a Big & Tall is a much different experience than shopping at stores

specifically targeted at plus size women (although options have improved greatly
for them over the years.) Many of thedr specialty stores have been known to cat
er towards an older demographic. The reality is there are younger women who are
plus size that want to wear the same trends their friends are wearing (prints, c
olors, silhouettes.) Just because a woman is a size 20 does not mean she only wa
nts to wear leopard prints and ruffles.
Also, keep in mind men's fashion and women's fashion are judged on different spe
ctrums. For instance, the male anchor who wore the same suit for a year.
Yes, obesity is an epidemic in America, but that doesn't mean they should be mar
ginalized.
Clothing is a fun means of expression for many people. If a person wants to patr
on a store and that store wants to cater to them what does it matter?

I never really thought about that. It sort of does show the difference in how of

Double Edit: I've never seen a Big and Tall store that carries pants that are 30

What is this shit? How is "women's plus" any different than "big and tall?" "Big
and tall" is MORE of a euphemism.
You're also completely ignoring stores like "Lane Bryant."
The eagerness to upvote anything vaguely "mensrights" or fat shaming related is
disgusting.

I don't see how you could argue it is MORE of a euphemism.
Plus size seems like more of a euphemism than big. And tall isn't a substitution
for anything, unless you would prefer they use the term "lamppost" to make sure
they aren't overusing euphemisms.

The weird part is, Old Navy DOES have a "Big and Tall" selection in their mens c
lothing, but you don't really see it until you click on the item you want to buy
.
But the womens stuff is separated out as a whole new category of "Womens Plus"

permalink
[ ]queenbrewer 21 points 5 hours ago
I think this is partially because plus sized women's clothing needs to be design
ed more differently than plus sized men's clothing, which usually is just larger
cuts of the same styles.

Yeah, most plus size models are heavy compared to regular models, but very propo

don't usually look like that.

Plus models are typically 6 foot size 12's. That's in no way obese. Indeed, tall
women wearing the lower end of plus sizes aren't likely to be obese.

I get why plus sizes get there own category. If a big girl is checking out a sto
re for the first time, they want to know quickly if they might have something in
their size. That doesn't really explain why their category is wider on that pag
e...
Guys, look at it like this. You go to a parts web site looking for a distributor
for your '53 Hudson Hornet. Would you rather sift through all of the distributo
rs before you discover that they only carry Ford and Chevy parts? Nope, you want
to see a link to "Hudson engine parts" and get down to business. No mention of
Hudson, you go to the next site.
My wife is a big girl and she gets damn frustrated when she sees something she l
ikes, chooses a color and then finds that it isn't available in plus size.
Before you give women too much shit about "enabling an unhealthy lifestyle" you
should also understand that in the clothing industry 'plus size' does not necess
arily mean 400lb folks.

The only legitimate reason I can think of is that the majority of Old Navy custo
mers are plus sized women. Whenever we get a shipment of a product, there are al
most double the amount of larger sizes. Maybe they were trying to give more obvi
ous access to clothing for their (literally) biggest consumer. Gap Inc is usuall
y very literal with their advertisment (eg. Gap toothed women as models for a lo

like a very tricky job to me. But they didn't fuck around and went with African
American/Canadian for "Plus Women." That, my friends, is courage.

Grandfather Maple takes the child to Seal Fur Woman, who teaches the child its n

Another possibility is that the plus size girl would fill the entirety of the fr

s, and by comparison actually appear larger than she really is.
By giving her a larger frame size, and thus more white space on each side, it co
uld have a bit of a slimming effect compared to the others.

I'm no expert, but my guess is that it has something to do with women's style be
ing tighter fitting. Whereas the relatively loose fitting pants worn by men can
accommodate legs of varying widths, with only the waist and length varying great
ly, the tight fitting pants worn by women are far less versatile. It's not hard
to imagine how manufacturing clothes for women is far more costly than it is for
men. Considering this along with the greater demand among the fairer sex for st
ylish clothing, I think we arrive at at least a plausible explanation for why th
ere is a women's plus and not a men's plus.

That's not true. They tried to set up women's clothing like mens, back in the 20
s. Thing is, men are built similarly - triangle - and are able to use the waist/
length method for purchasing off the rack.
When they did the same for women, it didn't work. The difference in body shape f
or a woman who carries in her stomach versus her ass is night and day. It also d
oesn't help that men wear 2 pieces always, whereas women (especially then) wore
a lot of dresses.
But it doesn't have to do with "getting away with" - they did try to standardize

Would I like a few more options? Yes. Is there much of a market in that one stor

elative of mine shows that they each have at least 3x the amount of clothing by
volume as me, going much longer before they "cycle through". Most of them are bu

Well, men don't have boobs, so that helps reduce body variations.
Other than that, men generally care about the "drop" between shoulders and waist

built guys. I'm almost at the point where even "athletic" cuts don't quite have
enough drop and look kind of billowy on me, and I'm not even built. Actually bi

Women have relative variations in circumference around their boobs, waist and hi
ps. There's also variations in hips vs leg length.
Whereas men, if they are wider or longer around one of these areas, they are gen
erally wider or longer around all three.
Generally speaking, there are exceptions.
This is not probably not enough to explain all of the size difference in terms o

Correct, many many upscale stores do not offer larger sizes for women, and imo i

ecause I was too small. Women my size don't shop at (that) Walmart often enough

That basically is why there are separate garments in each section. There are som
e crossover garments that are available in XS through whatever number of XL, but
not all regular ones can be cut to suit a larger frame. So there's a separate s
election.
They're separate for the sake of ease in shopping.

6'8" chubby guy here. Mens sections RARELY have over XL size shirts, and they NE
VER, EVER, EVER have 2XL AND tall styles. I can get a 3XL shirt and have it be 3
feet too wide, BUT have the length for the shirt to cover my freaking stomach,
OR go with a nicer-fitting 2XL and look like a belly-dancer.
It doesn't matter overall though, because 99% of stores, as I said, don't go ove
r XL.
And don't you even fucking get me started on shoes.. the pair I have right now h
ave holes in them because I just simply don't want to go through the months-long
process of having shoes shipped to you to try them on, and ship them back when
they aren't good enough just to order another pair to try (And yes I can just or
der many pairs in bulk at once and ship back the rest you don't want, but compan
ies hate this and will try and fuck you over if you do this to them in my experi
ence.. "Oh, you want to order 15 pairs and send back 14!? yeah thats a restockin

Typical stores have 4 sizes of mens shirts (S-XL) and an assortment of pants usu
ally ranging from 28-40 waist and 30-38 inseam with an assortment of combination
s of waist/inseam with some styles that change the fit.
When you get into larger sizes they just start adding X's. I've litterally seen
"XXXXXL" printed on a tag, and I held up the shirt and it was about the size of
a bed sheet. It was right next to the M-L shirts I was shopping for, they were j
ust out of the sizes in-between.
Women don't want this setup. They don't want to see their XXXXXL equivalent next
to a XS/S/M shirt because they can see the discrepancy. They want to be guided
to their section where things fit, and see all the other clothes that are close
to the size they can fit into. It falls right into the vanity sizing mindset for
women's clothes.
I'll put it this way. Would you rather be told you're a 4XL or that you're a Rel
axed Fit Medium? Guys generally don't care, and women do. Which is why they call
it out that way.

It's frustrating that "vanity sizing" has crept over to men's clothing. It used
to be so easy to find a pair of pants that fit. Once I knew my inseam and waist
size, I could pick out a pair without even having to try it on. Now, I have to g
o to the fitting room with tower of jeans ranging in size from 28x30 to 34x32 ju
st to find something that fits right - and every brand is different so it's not
like you can just count on the size you got last time.
The whole point of putting numbers on the jeans was to make shopping easy! I'm a
man. I don't care if my clothes literally call me a fat ass while I put them on
if it means I can be in and out of the store in five minutes!

I used to be a buyer in women's fashion so I can explain this quite easily. Ther

l medium and large for the most part because it's cheaper to produce them that w

en's clothing that are plus sizes actually fit quite differently so you can't ju
st get the same style and add a few inches here and there and hope it looks good
. Girls who wear plus sizes are looking for different styles as well. Women's cl

shirts and pants.

I really don't get it. I think big dudes need to lose weight just as much as I t
hink big women do. I suppose I discriminate equally.
But on a more serious note: being overweight is bad for you. Especially later in
life. My great-aunt spent her last 15 years more or less unable to leave home.

My grandmother has hit the same problem. And now I'm worried that my mother is s
tarting to gain a lot of weight as she gets close to her 60s, and looking at wha
t she eats, it's blatantly obvious as to why. I'm not hating on my mother. But I
wish she would eat less and carry out a more healthy life-style especially beca
use she knows very well how miserable her own aunts later years were. If all thr
ee examples here were women, it's merely coincidence. My father is still thin as
a rake and still very active, as was his, and my grandfather on my mothers side
passed long ago.
If someone in our family is overweight we should try to help them, and if we are
ourselves, we should accept help offered.

When something, whether it be words, images, a person, etc... causes (triggers)
someone to re-experience a traumatic memory. Example: rape victims sometimes bec

Hey, as someone with PTSD I can explain what a trigger is like for me. I can be
just going about my business and I might smell something that reminds me of the
incident, and suddenly I'll be right back there feeling trapped and scared and a
nxious. Fight or flight kicks in. There are images of it happening in my mind. I
can't control it. And that's probably minor compared to what other people with
PTSD can experience.
Genuine triggers are awful. Purposely triggering someone (people actually do tha
t) is a fucking shitty thing to do. I think tumblr has trivialised the term "tri
gger" to the point where people with PTSD don't get taken seriously because they
get lumped in with the ones who take advantage of the term.
There should be a new term for PTSD survivors. "Trigger warning" has been corrup
ted. It's too vague. Something like "flashback warning" would be better.
People with PTSD genuinely need trigger (or flashback) warnings, it's not a joke
. A bad trigger can push someone over the edge.

Fat men will generally look fine in the same clothes as skinny men, provided the

Men get a small range of sizes, and mostly terrible fitting clothing; women get
a much larger amount of sizes and two separate sections for the larger and the s
maller. Just chill out and try to see it from other perspectives besides just yo
ur own. I mean have you seen how ill-fitting clothing is for men unless they buy
specialty or get it tailored? We have S, M, L, XL, XXL, XXXL. And if you're not
one of those specific measurements that define one of the 6 main sizes, then yo
u're going to be between them and either have way too tight clothing, or way too
loose clothing. Take it from a guy who grew up constantly in-between sizes and
looking fat in everything. Oh and if you're too embarassed to shop for larger cl
othing, then you're just perpetuating "fat-shaming" and not practicing what you
preach about body pride. Don't like shopping for bigger clothes? Put in the work
to make your body smaller or get over it.

Fat men also have more variety at standard stores. I've seen Old Navy push well
into the high 40 waists.
The problem is that it's a double standard. There is an infinitely higher bias t
oward overweight women than overweight men.
Both lifestyles are unhealthy, but unless you've been a fatty you don't understa
nd the struggle it takes to get away from there.
Food is a fucker and is an easy, shitty solution to many problems. I've been gui
lty for eating my feelings, especially those times where my weight has already b
een high. It's a lot easier to grab a DQ blizzard than it is to pull yourself up
and go get help.
It's taken me almost 40 years to change my mindset into a healthy one. I fucking
loved food. It's not an easy shift, especially if you've been raised to eat unh
ealthy.
Like when I quit smoking, it had to come from inside. And one thing I can tell y
ou is alienating overweight people isn't the solution. Pretending it doesn't exi
st or basically funnelling overweight people into "fat" stores also doesn't help
. It doesn't do great things to ones self esteem to have to go out of your way a
nd shop at these kinds of stores.

I find that the problem with food obsession/binging is somewhat different to mos

I didn't really want to respond, but this really bothered me. It's very narrow v

It's not always a matter of campaigning for an unhealthy lifestyle. You have to
dress for the body you have.
Shopping at a Big & Tall is a much different experience than shopping at stores
specifically targeted at plus size women (although options have improved greatly
for them over the years.) Many of thedr specialty stores have been known to cat
er towards an older demographic. The reality is there are younger women who are
plus size that want to wear the same trends their friends are wearing (prints, c
olors, silhouettes.) Just because a woman is a size 20 does not mean she only wa
nts to wear leopard prints and ruffles.
Also, keep in mind men's fashion and women's fashion are judged on different spe
ctrums. For instance, the male anchor who wore the same suit for a year.
Yes, obesity is an epidemic in America, but that doesn't mean they should be mar
ginalized.
Clothing is a fun means of expression for many people. If a person wants to patr
on a store and that store wants to cater to them what does it matter?

I never really thought about that. It sort of does show the difference in how of

Double Edit: I've never seen a Big and Tall store that carries pants that are 30

I get why plus sizes get there own category. If a big girl is checking out a sto
re for the first time, they want to know quickly if they might have something in
their size. That doesn't really explain why their category is wider on that pag
e...
Guys, look at it like this. You go to a parts web site looking for a distributor
for your '53 Hudson Hornet. Would you rather sift through all of the distributo
rs before you discover that they only carry Ford and Chevy parts? Nope, you want
to see a link to "Hudson engine parts" and get down to business. No mention of
Hudson, you go to the next site.
My wife is a big girl and she gets damn frustrated when she sees something she l

ikes, chooses a color and then finds that it isn't available in plus size.
Before you give women too much shit about "enabling an unhealthy lifestyle" you
should also understand that in the clothing industry 'plus size' does not necess
arily mean 400lb folks.

The only legitimate reason I can think of is that the majority of Old Navy custo
mers are plus sized women. Whenever we get a shipment of a product, there are al
most double the amount of larger sizes. Maybe they were trying to give more obvi
ous access to clothing for their (literally) biggest consumer. Gap Inc is usuall
y very literal with their advertisment (eg. Gap toothed women as models for a lo
t of their posters)

It's all marketing. Nothing else would match well with "women's plus" (except if

A Canadian is born in the midst of a long and cold winter's night, when the spir
its of Moose and Beaver are taken by Grandfather Maple to a hockey rink. If Moos
e out scores Beaver, a boy is born. If Beaver beats Moose, a girl is born. Then
Grandfather Maple takes the child to Seal Fur Woman, who teaches the child its n
ame, the Canadian national anthem, and bestows upon it a love of gravy on French
fries. After that, a worthy Canadian couple, who have proven themselves fortudi
nous by surviving the harsh winter and Stephen Harper's roaming squad of attack
kittens in sweater vests, apologized profusely for all the fuss and is allowed t
o adopt the child from Grandfather Maple.

Another possibility is that the plus size girl would fill the entirety of the fr
ame in the normal grid size, making her size easier to compare to the other grid
s, and by comparison actually appear larger than she really is.
By giving her a larger frame size, and thus more white space on each side, it co
uld have a bit of a slimming effect compared to the others.
Not sure how well all that works though here, just some design theory i pulled o

I'm no expert, but my guess is that it has something to do with women's style be
ing tighter fitting. Whereas the relatively loose fitting pants worn by men can
accommodate legs of varying widths, with only the waist and length varying great
ly, the tight fitting pants worn by women are far less versatile. It's not hard
to imagine how manufacturing clothes for women is far more costly than it is for
men. Considering this along with the greater demand among the fairer sex for st
ylish clothing, I think we arrive at at least a plausible explanation for why th
ere is a women's plus and not a men's plus.

That's not true. They tried to set up women's clothing like mens, back in the 20
s. Thing is, men are built similarly - triangle - and are able to use the waist/
length method for purchasing off the rack.
When they did the same for women, it didn't work. The difference in body shape f
or a woman who carries in her stomach versus her ass is night and day. It also d
oesn't help that men wear 2 pieces always, whereas women (especially then) wore
a lot of dresses.
But it doesn't have to do with "getting away with" - they did try to standardize

volume as me, going much longer before they "cycle through". Most of them are bu

built guys. I'm almost at the point where even "athletic" cuts don't quite have
enough drop and look kind of billowy on me, and I'm not even built. Actually bi

Women have relative variations in circumference around their boobs, waist and hi
ps. There's also variations in hips vs leg length.
Whereas men, if they are wider or longer around one of these areas, they are gen
erally wider or longer around all three.
Generally speaking, there are exceptions.
This is not probably not enough to explain all of the size difference in terms o

Typical stores have 4 sizes of mens shirts (S-XL) and an assortment of pants usu
ally ranging from 28-40 waist and 30-38 inseam with an assortment of combination
s of waist/inseam with some styles that change the fit.
When you get into larger sizes they just start adding X's. I've litterally seen
"XXXXXL" printed on a tag, and I held up the shirt and it was about the size of
a bed sheet. It was right next to the M-L shirts I was shopping for, they were j
ust out of the sizes in-between.
Women don't want this setup. They don't want to see their XXXXXL equivalent next
to a XS/S/M shirt because they can see the discrepancy. They want to be guided
to their section where things fit, and see all the other clothes that are close
to the size they can fit into. It falls right into the vanity sizing mindset for
women's clothes.
I'll put it this way. Would you rather be told you're a 4XL or that you're a Rel
axed Fit Medium? Guys generally don't care, and women do. Which is why they call
it out that way.

It's frustrating that "vanity sizing" has crept over to men's clothing. It used

The whole point of putting numbers on the jeans was to make shopping easy! I'm a

A lot of men's retail clothing have big fits for the normal clothes nowadays, it
's harder to shop for small guys who aren't children.

Good grief yes. I'm a small dude. Hardly anything fits in the mens section as it
's all too big. On several occassions I've bought clothes in the kids section fo
r myself as they fit better.
Except the pockets. Clothes made for tiny child hands do not work for normal man
hands. Plus you know, it all looks like kids stuff.

Honestly, after buying Christmas gifts for people of both sexes and every age, m
ale sizes seem to be "Hey, we have it all, even if you're huge," and female size
s seem designed to make basically every female feel bad.

Male sizes don't have it if you're small though. Trying to buy trousers in under
a 32" leg is a nightmare.

I used to be a buyer in women's fashion so I can explain this quite easily. Ther
e is no agenda to make females feel bad. You are our customers we want you to fe
el good. Other than that woman's fashion companies produce clothing in only smal
l medium and large for the most part because it's cheaper to produce them that w
ay. By adding in another size you're adding a huge amount of inventory. Also wom
en's clothing that are plus sizes actually fit quite differently so you can't ju
st get the same style and add a few inches here and there and hope it looks good
. Girls who wear plus sizes are looking for different styles as well. Women's cl
othing have much more variety in styles where as men's sections are pretty much
shirts and pants.

It's just a link that forwards you to the "Tarps & Outdoor Furniture Coverings"
section at Home Depot.

It's more socially acceptable for kale bodies to have a greater size range so th
ey don't get a separate category. A big woman is a fat woman, but a big dude, fo
r the most part, is just a dude.

I really don't get it. I think big dudes need to lose weight just as much as I t
hink big women do. I suppose I discriminate equally.
But on a more serious note: being overweight is bad for you. Especially later in
life. My great-aunt spent her last 15 years more or less unable to leave home.
My grandmother has hit the same problem. And now I'm worried that my mother is s
tarting to gain a lot of weight as she gets close to her 60s, and looking at wha
t she eats, it's blatantly obvious as to why. I'm not hating on my mother. But I
wish she would eat less and carry out a more healthy life-style especially beca
use she knows very well how miserable her own aunts later years were. If all thr
ee examples here were women, it's merely coincidence. My father is still thin as
a rake and still very active, as was his, and my grandfather on my mothers side
passed long ago.
If someone in our family is overweight we should try to help them, and if we are
ourselves, we should accept help offered.

TRIGGERED

Can someone explain this 'trigger' bullshit to me?
permalinkparent
[ ]RossBoss95 183 points 5 hours ago
Sure. Triggers in real life are things that can trigger a negative flashback or
panic attack in people who suffer from post traumatic stress disorder. Tumblr ba
stardizes this by claiming that they have some type of internet PTSD and certain
words or things can trigger them to have a panic attack. It really just boils d
own to hurting fee fee's
