Comments About Women's Clothing

Thanks for signing the petition. Some day we will have enough signatures to be able to send this to the clothing manufacturers and let them know that we are tired of their shit. I appreciate you taking the time to sign this.

Here are the comments I have received from people who signed the petition:

Nadia, 13, DE:
We can come up with cars hell even robots why cant we come up up with clothes that we can slip in the washer like all of them I mean hand washing is what they did at the time of the witch trials. please people.

Alice, 21, WA:
I get plenty tired of stores only offering clothing just for teens that don't care about going half naked and pants that reach just above their hair line. Add to this shoes with soles made from car tires and saying one width fits all but doesn't. We used to have clothing made in this country, and made well, but now it is made in foreign countries and is nothing but poorly made crap.

I hate clothes shopping. And if in a few years time I have to sift through 100 or so pairs of jeans for ones that fits I may just start making my own clothes

Lauren Hosie, 15, Australia
What is up with those low rise jeans? All they do is make big bums look bigger and skinny bums more exposed as they can't keep the pants up! T-shirts these days are all cutoff at the midriff. Not everyone wants to flaunt EVERYTHING! My mother never complains about washing "special" clothes but I am sick of not having anything to wear coz it just sits in the "special" pile for a month.

I am pretty short at 5'2", and I have to hem every pair of jeans I wear. It's ridiculous. I agree with your 5'10" theory: I don't know enough girls that tall to think that the clothing industry is right. Good luck with your petition!

It sucks that even though I still follow instructions, it still manages to get ruined!

J E Moskal, 56, Syracuse, NY
I need easy in my life, haircuts, clothes, cars. Anything dry cleanable will not be in my closet. Sissies love to waste time, give me a break. Thank you. Walk in peace.

To have instructions on feminine clothing, telling the wearer to wash it only as per instruction, especially when such instructions (or the clothing itself) are not necessarily applicable to those instructions.
So why not make it far simpler and either print the same instructions for washing as male clothing or change the way feminine clothing is manufactured?
Profits are no excuse for poor quality.

I don't even bother wearing women's clothes anymore. Men's clothes are a better quality and are not designed to show every inch of a persons figure as though they weren't wearing any clothes. The cover me up and keep me warm. They don't need special care and they don't fall apart after one year of wearing. Women's clothing is designed to reduce them to sex objects and consumers, for whom clothes are not functional but purely decorative. I have a life, I want to go outside in the wet and cold, and get respect from other human beings, not be ogled by men all day long (or worse, feel like I'm not a worthy human being, if men decide not to ogle me). Quite frankly, I have had enough. Women, fashion designers, and clothes manufacturers take note - it doesn't matter what you look like, its what you do in life that counts, how happy you are, and far too many women spend their lives thinking about what they look like and feeling miserable, as a result of social pressure.

This isn't the 1920s!! Women have LIVES NOW!! Damn clothing manufacturers are sexist!!!

I f*cking make my own clothes because all the "Well we use special fabric so it will be harder on you, even though you spent $390285903285092385093258 on our shirt" bull. :D

Almost everything should be machine washable. I don't care about it being tumble dryable as this a waste of energy and is bad for the environment and it doesn't take much time to hang your clothing on a line or clothes horse. But it should be machine washable, and most of it actually is, its just that lazy and penny pinching manufacturers can't be bothered to test their garments, so they just stick a hand wash sign on it. I machine wash nearly all my things, despite the hand wash instruction, but I still feel that terror that something might have gone wrong before I pull it out the washing machine, and it is this I resent. If it really is that delicate that it will dissolve in a washing machine, then fair enough, but don't lie to me, if you just cant be arsed* to test it then tell me. Just say, "probably washable, don't know coz haven't tried, so wash at your own risk" just don't tell me to hand wash unless it really, really does have to be hand washed, ok?

* "arsed" means "bothered" or "concerned" in UK slang. Usually used in the negative sense of "can't be arsed." I looked it up for all you Americans that couldn't be arsed to look it up yourself. Heather

You know, woman are just as important as men, if not better! Why does all of our clothes have to be washed a certain way when men's clothes are made of the same stuff as ours!!!! What's up with that!!!! You clothing-makers whatever are crazy!!!!

Crystal Castillo, 16, Arizona
It's total bullcrap and a waste of my time.

April, 19, Jackson, MS
I totally agree with you. I thought I was the only person that noticed that detail about women's clothing. I'm glad someone else feels that way. They should make clothes that are easier to care for.

"Guess what? I ended up getting low rise jeans and of course, they look great on me, but I'm skinny. What about all the normal sized or heavy women? It won't look great on the rest of you, so don't try it." ....wow. that was fucking rude don't you think?? (Hmm, yeah, I guess it was. Thanks for pointing that out. Heather)

Emlyn, 13, MN
I think its so stupid now that America is turning obese with all this fast food and then fucking clothes are made for people who don't weigh anything. for my age I'm tall and normal sized, I'm 5'7 and a half and I have no idea what I weigh since I gave it up months ago and when I go around in the Juniors department at stores I see all this large stuff that looks like its a small. my only message to these shit heads in clothing companies is MAKE LARGES LARGE, MAKE SMALLS SMALL MAKE MEDIUMS MEDIUM. G0DDAMN IT I WANT TO BE ABLE TO WEAR CLOTHES AND NOT GET A EXTRA LARGE WHEN I JUST NEED A MEDIUM. GOT IT???

Holly, 18, Ontario, CA
I am totally with you on this one! I hate the way they make women's clothing, all tiny and tight and uncomfortable... I mean, come on! The clothing that is nice-looking is about 90% of the time uncomfortable as hell and itchy, or so tight you can't breathe correctly, and I'm thin! I weigh 125 and I'm 5'7 and even the pants are too long for me! Also, I hate how pants now that are "in" have barely any hip or ass room! I have good size hips and a bubble butt and the pants that are the right length for me, I cant even get on because I cant seem to get them over my ass! And don't even get me started on washing! I gave up doing that a long time ago, I had better things to do...stupid clothes, WHY CANT WE ALL JUST WEAR NOTHING! AND IN THE WINTER WEAR COMFY PJ'S AND THAT'S ALL!? I love pj's....*sigh* there is my opinion, hope you like it :) by the way, I also hate women's "pretty panties" I love the way they look, but its too much just to wash them properly because they are so delicate, and I hate when they are the kind that have the tiny holes in them so you can see your butt a little, does anyone ever notice you cant walk anywhere without getting "pinched" down below! UNCOMFY!

Gods, you're so right with the trousers thing! I usually end up having to buy men's because I don't have the time to go through 30 pairs of jeans just to find some that fit!
And also, manufacturers should work on designing clothes that look good, without showing everything. Also the whole 'fashion' concept is sooo way off. So many people spend money they don't have or could use in better ways just to keep themselves in the 'in' crowd.
