I firmly believe mannequins should have varying sizes because everyone's external features and internal make-up (bone strucrure, height, metabolism, etc.) are unique in a genetic sense. The number zero stands for literally nothing, so it just makes me curious about whether or not women would be at each other's throats on countless social media posts if our clothing were not offered as a number or descriptive word for size (that isn't even consistent from store to store), but as true measurements similar to men's clothing.

There's a double standard in terms of the kinds of things men can say in PG-13 movies. You put those same words in the mouths of women and it became far more terrifying. As soon as we articulated this and brought up examples, it was incredibly gratifying to see the MPAA came to the same conclusion.

If you're a feminist like me and wish to pledge/represent the change you want to see for women & girls go follow @representpledge on twitter. I found out about them from watching the documentary Miss Representation. If you've already seen it help spread the word about it, it's available on netflix.

For those who are interested, here is another (upcoming) film by the creators of MissRepresentation that focuses on representations of masculinity and their impact on society. Another interesting argument about media representation! Here's the link to the Representation Project website for more information.
