Modern womens' clothing is inherently misogynistic
I noticed this as I was shopping for blouses earlier today. Granted, I'm practically a guy when it comes to shopping because I hate it SO MUCH, but seriously. Have you seen fashion lately? The biggest thing out is the empire waisted shirts, where the elastic gathers right under the wearer's breasts, effectively making anyone over 115 pounds with more than an A cup look pregnant. It wasn't cute in the 16th century either, designers.
Then there's the new trend of putting one button at the top of cardigans and such so that the rest of the sweater flows angularly out from the neckline. Hello, this makes you look like a Christmas tree! Do you not notice that women have these things called curves and that erasing them completely is a bit weird?
Also, juniors stuff just makes me mad in general. Not only do skirts get shorter every year, the big trend right now is to wear logos of things that were popular when we were kids, like Sesame Street and Dr. Seuss and Rainbow Brite and such. These things were great, don't get me wrong, and I'm still a sucker for a good Charlie Brown cartoon, but having the teenaged girls of the world wear them? I'm not a guy (obviously), but I don't really want to skirt the idea of dating a 7-year-old, which is what that fashion advertises to me. There's a reason pedophiles aren't really appreciated, designers.
So really, the best features of women are their chests and hips, right? That's what my guy friends tell me. So why is all modern fashion drowning this natural waviness? Celebrate the female body, designers! Stop making it look so stupid and frumpy or skanky!

Well, that might explain it. This quiz was too perfectly fit to pass up, and it's pretty true.
