Re: Complaint of the Day 2 -
December 14th 2017, 05:54 AM
My 14-year-old cousin posted a picture of a dress she wanted, but didn’t come in her size. Her comment with it was about how she doesn’t get to wear clothes she wants because she eats. Rationally, I know that the comment wasn’t directed at me, but the comment still felt personal. She’s a junior that has to shop in the woman’s section. I’m a woman that has to shop in the junior’s section. Our problems are both valid, but only hers is heard. I was thinking about that today, how as a small woman, my woes about clothing aren’t listened to. I am disappointed when a store doesn’t stock my size because it’s smaller than average, but I’m not allowed to complain because being skinny means I have no issues (nevermind the methods I used to get skinny). If someone complains that a store doesn’t have their size because it’s larger than average, they’re listened and apologized to (even if not accommodated). It’s humiliating to be 20 years old and needing to shop in a section made for girls half your age (and still not being able to find anything because you’re too damm tall). I just want to be normal. I don’t look skinny, but I guess I am. I just want to be normal. I want to be healthy.
