Love and Female Clothing

As a frequent shopper of both men’s and women’s clothing, I noticed that a disproportionate amount of women’s shirts had the word “love” printed on them, whereas there were basically no such shirts on the men’s side.

Why is that a thing?  Don’t men love people just as much as women do?  

What makes it worse is that clothing is almost a subconscious way of branding things.  For instance, you can tell that someone is a hipster, or a rich kid, or a goth by the types of clothes they wear.  So, by only having female clothing with the word love on it, it’s subconsciously telling us that only women should obsess about love, whereas men shouldn’t care so much about it, and that to me is really silly.

Been feeling very blah today. Not about myself personally although that never goes away but about my life in general. I was at a store yesterday and fell in love with a beautiful swim suit only to nearly start crying when I saw the price on it. Corporate fashion exploits plus size people so much by charging double for clothes that A) don't really take that much more in materials to make and B ) are usually ugly or badly designed anyway. It just gets under my skin and half the time if I walk away from a shopping experience upset it's not because of the fit it's because of the clothes themselves or the price. That is part of why I started making so much of my own clothes. I would rather pay the price for fabric than deal with the hassle of the store. Sorry for ranting but I just needed to get it off my chest. #wecandoit #weightlossjourney #rant #clothingrant #plussizefashion #becomingahealthynerd #reclaimingmyhealth #beachbody #shakeology #swimsuit #fashionrant #hadtogetitout #sosickofit
