Over the years, I have been shopping with many sets of women for their clothes and/or shoes. I continue to be amazed that women do not rise up in protest or resort to walking the streets in sweat clothes (the cheap kind). Just putting up with an outfit that has different sizing for the bust, the hips, the waist, the shoulders, the collar, and probably other points I'm not aware of, and yet is supposedly defined by a single integer... 🙄

And then there's the misogynistic freak show known as "bra fitting" that still baffles me. Why do women put up with this crap?

Seriously, people, we've had women who are literally rocket scientists for YEARS, and they've designed freakin' space suits that work beautifully with the female anatomy in generic sizes, and yet it's impossible to buy women's clothing by mail order without getting three sizes, of which at least two (most likely all three) will go back to the originator.
