So I just found this blog and I have to say, if the "fat acceptance movement's" goal is to get rid of all the skinny girl clothes in stores, congrats. Only one of the major stores at my mall stocks clothes in my size, the majority of the sizes being L+. It took 2 days of shopping to find shapewear that was my size and fit me. I'm stuck shopping in the kid's section because the only clothes in the adult section are L-XXXL. Can't we have an equality of the sizes instead of fighting over dominance?

Oh my gosh there's a store in your mall that stocks your sizes in the adult section though you admittedly can shop in the kids section in pretty much all the stores? The only actual fucking plus size store in my mall doesn't carry sizes in-store bigger than what you can find at a JCPenney's where you are limited to a tiny selection of the frumpiest frumpy mumuus that every frumped. I get that you're SO MAD that more stores carry plus sizes now (over half the population is "plus sized" btw but far less than half the stores and nearly none of the cute boutiques carry plus sizes) but don't worry, most are "online only."

It must be so very hard indeed to have the option to buy a myriad clothes in person that fit over your body even if you would prefer to buy them in a different section of the store. It is indeed the same thing as fat people not being able to buy anything that fits over their body in physical stores. I'm glad you brought this very much equally oppressive issue of very thin adults unable to find less than a large in more than one store (I have by the way never in my life of going to malls all over the US and Europe ever had a problem finding a boatload of XS, S, and M, so you must be in a very special plus-size-friendly bubble-region of reality, indeed).

#okay this person is obviously lying or grossly exaggerating one instance in which a store was OUT OF STOCK #but cry me a river like #skinny people always ALWAYS have the option to 1) wear clothes that are too big for them #2) down size clothing by tailoring it/cutting it #3) go to a different fucking store like literally any fucking store #4) wear children’s clothing #5) and on TOP OF ALL THIS - it’s going to be cheaper for them and designed for their body #LMAAOOOO #stfu #you will never actually struggle to find clothes.#you at most will struggle to find cloths that fit you that way you like -#but you will never struggle to find clothes that physically can go on your body #nevermind for the love of god of a store DIDN’T sell your clothes it would NOT be because they’re catering to fat people lmao #it would be because there wasn’t a large enough demand for that size.#in my country 2x people make up a huge percentage and the MAJORITY of women and so when a store does not sell our size #it is because they do not want to sell to fat people.#‘if the fat acceptance movement’s goal is to get rid of all the skinny girl clothes’ lmaoooo #the completely imagined persecution here. girl I wish you could fucking hear what you sound like.#we have never not once suggested or advocated for or fought to get rid of smaller sizes.#not once ever. you have assumed that us arguing we should have clothes too means we think you shouldn’t.#to look at a world that vastly favors thin bodies and suggest that WE’RE the ones fighting for dominance is embarrassingly ignorant but #I’m not surprised. ‘To oppressors equality feels like oppression.’
