@ Sadie: You are rude and also obviously hate women. I am a small girl and even *I* feel dismissed there because I have hips. I normally wear a XS/S and in AA, I feel fat because their L barely fits my hips.

PS *whispers* The contention here is not about being skinny or fat…It’s about rampant misogyny…

Oh, sweet Jesus, let this be true!

Happy to join the boycott although I never shopped there!

That ad might be fake but the MRA -sounding quote was real. So, many kudos to the genius who created the “Meet Dov Charney” ad. I suspect the same person created this one and I’m equally sure this quote is for real.

I’m embarrassed to say that I bought a couple of American Apparel shirts from Threadless one time because they were on clearance. Yeah, I’m lame, I know. I usually just buy shirts in dude sizes, but curiously, the dude sizes were mostly sold out. I ended up getting all of my shirts but one in “girly XL.” So my shirts come a few days later, and all of the girly XL shirts just barely fit. I swear I had bigger t-shirts when I was in elementary school. And the lone dude-sized shirt I got (an L)? Fits okay. My boobs aren’t totally smushed by it, and you can’t see the outline of my spleen through the fabric or anything. The sleeves look ridiculously huge relative to the rest of the shirt, though, I suppose because I haven’t got sexy rippling hipster dude muscles with which to fill them out!

So in conclusion, thanks for nothing, Dickweed Charney! At first I thought it was just MY fat ass that you hated, but now it’s obvious that you’re just a jerkwad tool who hates all women. Fabulous.

By the way, if you want to talk about American Apparel and feminism, you might want to pick up on the fact that size 12-14, the average size for a female, is an XL. S is 0-2 and they also have XS and XXS.

Guess that’s one of the many advantages to shopping in thrift stores.
