One man rages at ridiculous clothing sizes for women

End body shaming NOW...

Rebecca Keane

It can be tough shopping for clothes as a woman.

We’ve got boobs, bums, hips and tums… Men have it too easy. It’s hard enough to find clothes in the right colour, cut, shape – never mind worrying about what size you are.

Lots of shops and websites have different measurements for sizes too so it can be confusing what darn universal size you are. *exhales* It can be stressful sometimes OK?

One man pointed out exactly what is wrong with women’s clothing and their sizes – by trying on his girlfriend’s clothes.

Benjamin Ashton Cooper was helping his girlfriend clean out her closet when he noticed something about her clothes that really, as he put it, “pissed him off.”

He noticed his girlfriend throwing a lot of XL sized clothes out and was confused as they looked pretty small to him .

Cooper put on some of his girlfriend’s clothes and noticed that even though they were labeled “extra large,” they fit him perfectly, or were even a bit tight.


Considering the average woman has 103 items of clothing in her wardrobe, it’s not surprising that some clothing brands and their warped sizes are important to women.

We’re with Benjamin when he says “Fuck body shaming”. RIGHT ON DUDE.
