Comment on Why do we even do mens vs womens sizes for clothes?

Because men and women have different body shapes. A small man and woman may need the same size but certainly not the same cut.

Nowadays all women’s clothes are straight up and down, the only difference is pink. It’s a nightmare for women who are shaped like women.

Ehh I’ve had to use women cuts shirt ss undershirts sometimes, even if the size was right they always felt tight across the back and shoulders

Have a look at German clothing sites for fun. There is no “choice”.

… I’m from Germany and talking from a German perspective. I can ask some of my female friends where they get their clothes if you want?

Are women who fit into the clothes you describe not women?

Did I end up on Ravelry?

Yup. I agree. Men’s pants more often accomodate my wide ass better than women’s clothing. I don’t know how. It shouldn’t be possible. Even the swimming trunks fit better… I found out ball hammocks are a thing. Not out of curiosity, but out of desperation! And sometimes, I find pants that fit my ass, but the legs are too short!
Another thing is that women’s clothing is meant to be form shaping. So if you are less curvy, the clothes got you covered. If you are too curvy, the clothes will crawl and migrate down the hills.
It’s hard to find practical clothing. Such as a swimming top that will stay the fuck on if you jump off a cliff. Or a bottim that has space for more than 1 asscheek. Let alone to avoid the camel toe.
Not to mention flimsy fabric with shitty patterns added. Found a comfy nice shoe? Well here is 2cm^2 of snakeskin pattern for no reason. How about a nice shirt? Got some stupid white woman quote on it though. Or an animal with massive eyes to make your boobs look bigger… ffs. Or the bad design? Nice hoodie? Well it’s short enough to show the belly button. Pockets? Some are fake. This nice looking top has 3 straps and you need to fold it inwards to make it stay in shape! Oh found a nice, 100% thick wool jacket? Oh it’s men sized. Arms are too long and a bit to tight around the bottom. Well let’s see- oh the women’s section doesn’t even have the option. Only a thin fleece hoodie in bright pastell colours.
God I swear to you, I hate women’s clothing so fucking much.

Don’t forget the snakeskin is usually a mixture of pastels.

Yes and no, it depends on the brand mostly, but at least here in México it’s notorious because brands tend to import asian sizes for some reason (or so some clerks say) and you see lots of size 0 or 1, but bigger sizes or clothes that actually fit women who aren’t flat/extremely skinny are sold out first (and fast).
Men’s pants are also poorly fitted if you have a butt, they seem designed to be for flat guys only.
