Clothes are not priced on a sliding scale until they are plus sized.
There is a fabric difference in a size 4 and a size 10, and yet the price remains the same.
The size difference from a 4 to a 10 is the same as a 10 to a 16. It’s 3 sizes up. But a 16 is plus size and is charged dollars and dollars more for ~*~production~*~ costs.
Tell me why.
Tell me why even though the average US woman is plus sized, why we have to pay more for worse clothes.
And even if you can explain the prices, can you explain what we are offered? Why is it that straight sizes get racer back tanks and peter pan collars and crop tops and everything else you can think of, but plus-sized women are offered a $50 graphic t-shirt that has the word “paris” spray painted on it with sequins that fall off after you put it in the dryer for a spin.
Tell me why Forever 21 offers lingerie for straight-sizes and offers bath robes for plus-sizes.
Tell me that.
Explain. To. Me. That.
It ain’t just about prices. It’s about giving thin people options where fat people have none.
So have a fucking seat. Lord knows you can fit in it, because it was designed around your privileged ass.
Believing that all bodies are attractive does not mean you personally have to be attracted to all bodies.
It means that you believe that every body is capable of being found attractive by someone.
thank you
Why so many girls/women hate their bodies:
- Girl’s self-esteem peaks when they are 9 years old.
- More than 90 percent of girls age 15 to 17 want to change at least one aspect of their physical appearance, with body weight being the highest.
- There is now a $40 billion diet industry which was non-existant 20 years ago. That’s the rough equivalent to what the U.S. Federal Government spends on education each year.
- 20 years ago, models weighed 8% less than the average woman. Today, they weigh 23% less. Most runway models meet the body mass index criteria for anorexia.
- 50% of women wear size 14 or larger, but most standard clothing outlets cater to sizes 14 or smaller.
- The current media ideal of thinness is achieved by less than 5% of the female population.
- Roughly 50% of women have had or know someone who has had an eating disorder.
if this is not appalling to you, it should be. body weight should not be tearing apart the minds of teenage girls.
this needs to stop.

in an effort to get myself to go to the gym, i look at fitspo. but boy, the stuff under the fitspo tag is not fitspo.
all it is, is girls hating themselves. “eat less, fail less, weigh less, feel less” has got to be my favorite of today.
y’all are giving yourselves eating disorders with that kind of thinking. i go to the gym to feel good about myself, not to scrutinize the fact that i don’t have an “inner thigh gap”.
anyways, no more fitspo. makes me hate myself just a little bit even looking at it. not nice.
