I am the same with the steel version from them! I like that it’s made out of metal, but I do eventually fuck up the base because I drop it on the regular.

Yeah, there’s also unfortunately a difference in how a man wearing clothes that are too big vs a woman wearing clothes that are too small or too big is received. It was only a real problem for me with professional clothing, because otherwise I can get away with a dress unintentionally falling mid-thigh or sizing up and looking like I’m doing a menswear style.

Yeah, that’s got to be difficult. I’m in the opposite boat, as a 178 cm tall woman. I struggled finding dresses that were long enough in the US, but upon moving to central Europe, I have no issues at all (and my size shoe doesn’t run out within a day of being restocked anymore). I basically just don’t buy clothing made by Asian companies unless I can try it on in person first. People joke about “big bones,” but I’ve got a BMI of 20 and I have tried on XL and XXL sizes that don’t go over my shoulders.

Yes, though you would have to remember more numbers if you’re not making gendered sizes, things like the diameter of the arm hole and the distance between the neck and shoulder, but it’s not like there’s no way to do it. It’s just easier for clothing companies to gender clothes and most people don’t care enough to do anything about it.

People’s clothes would probably fit a lot better though.

My mom was religious, my dad wasn’t, so she took us to church on her own. My dad, meanwhile, would listen to a specific radio show with funky, atmospheric music, go on hikes with his friends, and make a large Sunday dinner for us.

I was an adult before I realized why the hikes were always shorter when the kids tagged along.

Those differences actually make sense to me. If you try to sell pants with the same length inseam in Honduras and the Netherlands, you’ll either prop up the local tailoring industry or fail. Those at least have an inseam measurement, but a medium shirt is going to have to be made for different proportions as well.

I think men’s and women’s sizes could be adapted to be more focused on body shape and less on gender, but I get where they’re coming from. Women are on average smaller than men, so a women’s medium will similarly be smaller than a men’s medium.

divine retribution for fossil capital’s greed and wanton exploitation of the natural world

I agree with the point of the meme, but come on

Lmao, I even brought sources.

I don’t know man, I know like eight people killed by the Chinese government and they weren’t even smokers. According to the WHO, the Chinese government kills 2/3 of a million people every year. No, wait, that isn’t right…

This might change my mind about beans on toast.
