There are a lot of annoying things about being a woman, like periods, childbirth and not being able to play basketball in a way that keeps spectators awake. But near the top of the list has got to be buying clothes.

I know one way to fix it is just to be ballsy and wear men's clothes, and that's a bold choice. But you take a social hit for wearing "masculine" clothes, and most women don't want to take that hit. So they go to buy clothes made specifically "for women," and generally find a set of the most impractical, low-quality, high-maintenance crap that a sweatshop can make.

Here are a few of the many, many awful things about the clothes that manufacturers want women to wear:


#7. The Material Is Too Thin

Go through any women's clothes section and put your hand inside all the shirts and dresses and see if you can see it. (If you are a man, try to make sure no one is looking first.) About 50 percent of the time, you are going to get a pretty good view of your hand. And you don't have to go to a fancy boutique; this holds true for my neighborhood Target.

That means if a girl wears just that shirt, you are going to see her bra, or even boobs, which I'm sure sounds exciting and positive to many men, but violates workplace and school dress codes, as well as many public decency laws. Also, these are clothes for all women of all ages, not just young, attractive women. This isn't a mistake. The solution is supposed to be layering, which has really caught on in recent years. All of these stores also sell plenty of tank tops, camisoles and plain form-fitting T-shirts, sometimes dedicating entire sections to clothes specifically designed for use in layering. Catalog photos will often show girls wearing three or more layers.

I can't prove they do this deliberately to make women buy more pieces of clothing, but once you found you could sell this concept to people, why wouldn't you? Someone who used to buy one shirt is now going to buy three from you. And you get to use less material. On top of that, super-thin cloth isn't very durable, and its evil cousin, the lacy sweater with huge holes, easily catches and tears in a washing machine. So you get to spend even more money replacing them more often or dry cleaning them.


#6. Fake Pockets or No Pockets

One thing I think a lot of men take for granted is pockets. It seems like men always have pockets. They're a requirement in men's pants, men's coats always have functional pockets and I guess even men's prison jumpsuits must have them, since I hear about people smuggling goods into prison all the time. Women's clothing manufacturers, on the other hand, seem to believe women can't be trusted with pockets. Something like 99 percent of dresses have no pockets at all, and the more formal you get, the more likely a women's coat or pants pocket is going to be a fake, decorative pocket.

I know the arguments -- "But women's clothes are so carefully cut and tailored. If you put anything in a pocket, it would bulge and look bad!" That's bullsh!t.

Sure, there will be unsightly bulges if they put too much in their pockets, but the solution isn't to take them away -- the solution is to trust women to have the common sense to not put a bag of rocks in their pocket. These pockets are just fine for carrying a key or some cash or credit cards, and it's stupid to not give anyone that option because some idiot might try to put, I don't know, night-vision goggles or a piece of cake in their pocket. But it's OK, because instead of functional pockets, we get a ton of decorative pockets, as well as numerous other nonfunctional decorations, like extra buttons, and buckles, and flaps.

The only possible conclusion is that Rob "Pouches" Liefeld moonlights as a women's clothing designer in his spare time.


#5. Too Cold

Another problem is that women's clothes are too damn cold. Part of it is the thinness of much of the material, as mentioned before, but no matter how thick the material, many, many styles involve increasing exposure, like dipped necklines, three-quarter sleeves or skirts and dresses. It can be easy to chalk this up just to women who dress "provocatively," but the truth is that a fairly normal, unprovocative women's style exposes a lot more skin than men's clothes. A below-knee skirt still exposes your shins. A three-quarter sleeve isn't terribly provocative unless you have a thing for forearms. And necklines don't need to go anywhere near the boobs to still be a lot wider than the average men's neckline.

The obvious question, which might come up on a bunch of these points, is why we don't just avoid these styles. It's harder than it sounds, because they're everywhere. It can be hard to find a shirt with a neckline between "look at my bust" and turtleneck, and when you do, it turns out to be a three-quarter sleeve. If you find a dress with full sleeves, they've pulled the hem up to your @ss.

What makes this all worse is that this is almost inevitably the case with all "professional" styles that are OK to wear at the office, and women being cold at the office is an enormous, widespread workplace issue, as I've covered before. I don't think colder clothing is the cause, as bundled-up women complain of the cold just as much. I think it's just adding insult to injury that they're already feeling cold, and that there is no "professional"-looking outfit that will let them bundle up properly without looking like they are in a Christmas special.


#4. Arbitrary Clothing Sizes

Men's pants sizes are logical and come in measurements of at least waist size, and often inseam, too. Women's pants sizes, and clothing sizes in general, are meaningless, arbitrary numbers that come, as far as I can tell, from having kittens bat around a 20-sided die.

This isn't just a recent trend. Women's clothing manufacturers have been making up sizes as far back as sizes have existed. According to one fashion historian, a 32-inch bust would have come out to a size 14 in a 1937 Sears catalog, while being labeled a size 8 in 1967, and coming down to a size 0 in today's terms. Even today, you apparently inflate and deflate like a balloon when you go from brand to brand, according to their sizes. A woman who is size 6 at American Eagle might be a 0 at Ann Taylor, as mentioned in the above article.

Obviously they're pandering here, trying to flatter women by making them sound thinner with a skinny-sounding number, because when you make people feel good, they buy things. As long as the market keeps rewarding for it, they'll keep doing it, so I guess there's no hope for making women's sizes any easier to buy. On the other hand, if we can't make things easier for women, apparently they are making things harder for men these days by doing the same thing with their pants. According to Esquire, various brands of men's pants labeled as having a "36-inch waist" actually had waistlines ranging from 36 to 41 inches (Old Navy was the fattest liar). In an era where action heroes can no longer sport beer bellies (John Wayne, young Captain Kirk), I guess men need flattery about their waistlines, too.

In attempting equality, I would have preferred making pants-buying easier and more consistent for everybody instead of making it suck for everybody but I guess that's the way they decided to go.


#3. There's No Such Thing as a "Regular" T-Shirt

Men like to use T-shirts as billboards to show everyone what their favorite band, or team, or joke is, and when they see a T-shirt with the perfect saying on it, they just need to pick a size and buy it. Women also like to make similar statements with T-shirts, but it's not that easy. Women's torsos can be a myriad of different shapes, not just for obvious reasons (boobs), but for waist-to-hip ratio and torso length as well. And women's clothes, while not all skintight, are expected to be at least semi-fitted -- to at least tuck in somewhat below the bust.

The fit isn't just about bust size, but how far down the boobs are as well. As such, you can find something that fits your bust size but expects them to be lower/higher than they are, or it can fit both of those things, but be too short for your long torso.
So the end result is that if you find, say, a Dethklok women's T-shirt with the perfect, most metal design, odds are that size small will cut off above your belly button and size large will fit two of you, or you'll have to bind your chest to wear it, or some other mismatch. Or even worse, they've put a weird V-neck on it or freakishly short sleeves, or some other attempt at making it "fashionable" and "feminine."

You can buy a men's shirt instead, but if you have any kind of figure, it will either hang like a tent or be too snug on one end of the hourglass or the other.
The end result of all this is that because of the good cut, I end up wearing my World of Warcraft T-shirts a lot even though I don't play the game anymore and am honestly a little embarrassed.


#2. Clothes That Need Instructions

One thing I'm pretty sure men don't have to ask when clothes shopping is, "Is this supposed to be a long shirt, or a short dress?" This is a common question for many women. If you're at a department store, you might be lucky enough to see it printed on the price tag, but if not, good luck. Other pieces of clothing that can be confused are tube tops and short skirts, leg warmers and arm warmers, and whether something is supposed to be pajamas or not.
Even if you technically know what something is, like a wrap sweater, that doesn't mean you know how to wear it. If you didn't know anything about wrap sweaters, how would you think you're supposed to wear this?

It's not as simple as you think, because apparently people actually have to make videos about how to wear these.

But possibly the king (or queen) of "How the hell am I supposed to wear this?" is this American Apparel ... dress?

It claims to be a dress. You don't really get a lot of help as to how or when you're supposed to wear it. There are some "what to wear underneath" suggestions to the right, but that model in the main picture seems to be ignoring all those suggestions, almost as if American Apparel is deliberately fcuking with its customers. Are you supposed to wear it around the house? Can you wear this to a formal event? I know it's acceptable to show up half-naked to the Oscars, but what about Grandma's funeral?

All these questions, and all you get from the official description is "A sheer, sexy and form-fitting sleeveless maxi-dress with a high neckline and a sexy plunging deep V-back detail." Thanks a lot.

Not surprisingly, every single review is sarcastic.


#1. There's No Such Thing as "Regular" Clothes

"Well, sure, all that might be a problem if you are always shopping for fashionable, fancy clothes," you might say. "You should just go to a regular store and buy normal, not-fancy clothes." The problem is that they've almost stopped making normal, not-fancy clothes.

Remember Gap? It used to be known as a store where you could buy dependable, boring staples like jeans, sweatshirts and plain T-shirts. If anyone remembers that Gap, they wouldn't recognize it today. Looking for a nice, regular long-sleeve shirt? How about an upside-down drawstring garbage bag with a giant V cut into the neckline?

The problem is that women's fashion has to change every year, preferably to some type of clothes that haven't existed before, because the economic model of women's clothes depends on at least a certain group of women buying new clothes every year, which they are less likely to do if the fashions haven't changed. Unfortunately, all the good styles have already been invented, which means that in order to come out with something that's never been done before, it has to be retarded and look bad on most women. Sometimes they can be lazy and bring back an old style, like with the recent '80s revival, but designers do put their own stamp on it to make it technically new, and usually more ugly and inconvenient (a fine feat with '80s wear). Making the material thinner is always a great trick.

And for some reason, more and more staid, dependable, "regular" clothes stores like Gap and Target are trying to capture the "fashionable" market by carrying more of these stupid short-lived fad trends and less of the timeless, washable styles. When I go in to replace my leggings or skirt, all I find are ********* jeggings and bubble skirts, which must have been created on a dare because nobody looks good in them.

So yeah, I know some stores have always got to be providing the latest stupid fashions everybody wants. But how about we all don't jump on the bandwagon and some stores sit tight and keep offering the rest of us some normal clothes we can put in the washing machine? And put some damn pockets on them.

99% of the time.
Taking the "social hit"
is well worth it.
I have not owned hardly and women clothing in some 40 years.
Women's clothing simply do not fit me.

Even when thin, my shoulders and upper back are too broad.
My hips too narrow, whether I am thin or fat,
the difference betwixt waist and hips is never more than 4 inches maximum.
And leg holes in womens' undies seem to be geared to hip size and so thin or fat,
they are baggy butt thunder thigh too big leg opening jokes, waist tight.
Women's shoes are too narrow in toes.
I have small but wide flat Hobbit feet.
Boys size 5 1/2 fit best, wide toe area, and narrow heel, being the opposite fit of womens' shoes, toe pincher toe area and huge floppy heel area.
So if anyone finds my wearing near exclusively men and boy clothing offensive,
well that is their problem.
I refuse to sacrifice comfort and durability

Additionally the HAE/IBS issue http://www.linda-goodman.com/ubb/Forum3/HTML/002834.html

means on any given day, my abdomen/waist will increase in minutes as much as 22 inches larger, with 17 being very common ay least 20 times a month.
If/when I wear girly, it is my choice, those rare times I can find such that work for me.
I would once I can afford to do so, and or find such,
wear vintage clothing (circa 1850s to 1940s)
or medieval/Renaissance reproduction fashions such as these: http://holyclothing.com/

ITA.. no reason to sacrifice your own comfort to satisfy what someone else might think!! Fashion is a finicky business and fads change. I believe in dressing comfortably as well.

I think men's clothes on women look rather sharp actually! No fuss there, no unnecessary ruffles.. plus the sizes are much simpler to navigate so there's less mystery! I know a woman who prefers to dress in men's clothes and I find myself admiring her attire.

You go, Lexxie!

Argh the thin material!!!

I once went to buy a nice summer top but didn't get it because all the ones I liked were too thin I mean see through, will be torn after the second wash thin. I'm a student, not exactly on an endless budget here bub.

I have stopped buying women's sweaters for precisely this reason. I mean you go to any women's clothing store and check out the sweater rack and what will you find: dainty sweaters in all colours imaginable to man with a thick weave with gaping holes in them or on the other hand, you have these see through cardigans that make you wonder how many of them you'll have to wear just to stop your bra from showing. I now buy hoodies. Yeah ladies, I buy hoodies: cool, edgy, grungy and most of all warm men's hoodies. Not only is the material thick enough to keep out the cold, but they're unisex and makes one look uber cool as well. I mean why spend the same amount of money on a sweater that I'll have to layer up???

[Also, I can wear a men's size M hoodie but in women's, I need a size L or even XL because I have long arms and I don't want a full sleeve ending at my elbow. And urgh!!! Women's hoodies usually come in pastel colours or black and it makes me want to rip my own hair out. I DO NOT WANT PASTEL. ]

All the sweaters I have in my wardrobe are high necks which shield my neck from chills and they're all men's sweaters except one which my mum wore in the army

Another thing: Jeans

I mean denim is the best fabric on the face of the planet but no you have to mess with it as well. I mean denim became popular because of its toughness and resistance to wear but women's clothing realised that tough denims that last for a decade are bad for business so all the new denims in the market have thinner fabric that tears easily. I had jeans that would last a decade; the last one I bought ripped at the knee after barely a year of wear. I mean WTF???

Not to mention the trends in jeans...I mean seriously. I wear skinny jeans and nothing else because I find them to be the best denim style ever for my body type and I don't care if fashion rags say that the wide flare is all the rage, I AM NOT BUYING FLARED JEANS EVER AGAIN.

And don't even get me started on clothing sizes.

Two days ago I saw a denim jacket online with a women's size 42 and when I checked the size chart, it fitted a bust size 32

I once went to Adidas to get myself a jacket and their size M was so roomy, I could fit in another me. But the one I'm wearing right now is a size XXL and it is a wonderful fit(it's a bit loose but that's alright because you need coats and jackets a size or two bigger so you can layer up underneath). So depending on the brand, I am a size XS to a size XXL

Same's the case with shoes. I always consult European sizes because damn, they are actually accurate. On my feet, I fit in a size 41 shoe or a size 40 boot. Usually that would be a size 7.5 or 8 American but no, because different brands have to have their own sizes and my feet are anywhere from a size 7 to a size 11 *facepalm*

[I recently bought a stunning pair of sandals online but can't wear them because my feet are too broad so I'm giving them to my sister who has narrow feet]

Renaissance styles are so pretty, I love the floppy-arms thing they do!

There is some crazy stuff that shows up in fashion shows; a designer's thought process must be something like "That looks like it's been used, I'll just cut some holes and add zippers in random places to make it new." Anyone seen Project Runway? It doesn't get more ridiculous than what some of those models have to wear.

I think most of the original post is just a bunch of bitching for no real reason and blowing things way out of proportion.

The only ones I agree with are number 4 and possibly number 6.

Well found some boy style women's undies,
"Boy Shorts".
They fit kind of OK,
though a bit too hip loose,
and dammit all again grrrsssss...

WTF?
Giant leg openings for some massive thunder thigh person.....ugh

Well I totally grossed out some folks,
oh yes grossed out and their remarks were very unkind
the other night at the store when the very strong gusting blizzard wind kicked up and blew my top up to my face, and exposed my
no bra boobs and no matter what I did, wham, trying to get groceries into trunk of car and close lid.....
boobs for all to see.
Stupid me,
wearing a damn girly top for a change.
