Men pay more for clothing.Do men really pay more for clothes?Yea, seriously. Shirts, sneakers, jeans, socks…etc. Ask your male friends how much they pay for a pair of descent jeans. It’ll blow your mind. At least their pants have fucking pockets tho“Men pay more for clothing.”(Target)Are you sure?Are you(Walmart)ABSOLUTELY SURE??BECAUSE I’M NOT ENTIRELY CONVINCEDLIKE AT ALLTHAT MEN HAVE IT HARDER(Victoria’s Secret)OH AND SHOULD I BRING UP PANTIES WHILE I’M AT IT? I am a firm believer of the “fuck you, I’ll wear briefs that don’t give me a wedgie, I don’t care if they’re not sexy” policy, but a lot of women are expected to wear panties and thongs because GASP WOMEN MUST BE BEAUTIFUL AT ALL TIMES. Here’s a screenshot of some Victoria’s secret panties!Wow. It’s almost as if there’s a pattern here.Women are expected to buy more clothing, and literally all of it is more expensive, so fuck all of you.*HAMMERS THE REBLOG BUTTON*i dont think victoria’s secret is a valid comparison because they are in fact a “luxury store” of course their bras and underwear are going to be more expensive the lets say target. Calvin Klein is like mens Victora Secret BUT THIS IN MIND women are TECHNICALLY supposed to throw out their bras after so many months because the elasticity wears off, it gets too dirty (even if you clean it) it stretches out and dosent provide the proper support etc etc see screen shot below6-7 bras in their wordrobe. SIX TO SEVEN IS RECOMMENDED and thats only if a bra is swapped out regularly and washed regularly it will only last 8 months MAX. target bras are around $20. 20x6= $120 victoria secret bras START at $50. $50x6= $300 YOU COULD BE SPENDING ANYWHERE BETWEEN $120-$300+ EVERY 6-8 MONTHS ON BRAS. THATS NOT EVEN A YEAR. women have to shell out that much on something most have to wear because of their size or to keep their jobs.dont even get me started on tampons and pads. -- source link
