#sizesarelies #numbersarefalse #bodyshaming #feminism #proudofmybody So not too long ago I accidentally bought the khaki pants in the picture. I read 10 L on the sales tag as a size 10 pants and a size XL on the hanger. A mistake that couldn't be returned because of the item being on clearance. I realized if I wear the pants up high with a belt it fits fine. Today going through clothes I realized that my size 8 faded glory jeans were not much smaller from the accidental larger size pants I bought on clearance - not much more than an inch or two. Don't get me wrong I believe people should be in healthy shape and live healthy life styles, but in society why do we put so much emphasis on women's clothes sizes? There's really not much difference between sizes. It's body shaming at its best the way women's clothes are sized. Men's clothing to both myself and my boyfriend has less shame: sized in inches - nobody cares. So you're probably wondering what's the size on the khaki pants? 18W - Columbia That's 5 sizes difference.
