Above Size 6 Need Not Shop: American Apparel Strikes Again

[Confederate Kahanist]

Another reason not to support this evil clothing company:

The average woman wears a size 12-14.>>

While anorexia is awful that is not good that women, children or any group of people are suffering an epidemic of obesity.  As someone who at age 55 has always been thin and fit  can only suggest that women and men both find the middle ground between obesity and obsessive food disorders.

[Ari Ben-Canaan]

If this company wants to lose out on sales to company which accommodates a size 6+ company let them do it.  If this company finds they make more money, somehow, by excluding size 6+ sizes the will of the people has been expressed by the vote of their dollars.

The ads which this company generates are shockingly disgusting, and some that I have seen appear to be criminal and appear to use minors in a way which should be criminalized.  It is bad for society to be exposed to ads like these, and that goes doubly for children in our society.  -- This is a much more pertinent reason to boycott this company.  If the owner is guilty of sexually harassing women that is also a good reason to boycott.

There is nothing this company could do to persuade me to purchase any of their clothing [A: I don't like it, B: their ads].

 THIS IS AN ARROGANT COMPANY MAYBE THE CLOTHES ARE MADE FOR UNDERNOURISHED FRENCH WOMEN NOT FOR SHAPELY AMERICAN WOMEN

I think different size ranges may actually require different designs. There are dedicated stores for bigger sizes. Why can't there be stores for slimmer sizes ?

There are some styles of clothing I wish were never made above certain sizes. I see a lot of Mexican women around town with floppy fat rolls or obviously pregnant bellies jiggling as their mid riff is showing. Bonus gross out points if they have a tattoo on their bellies.

I think larger people can look nice, but they need to cover more.

[Zelhar]

Yeah definitely. I see it too in Israel. But even grosser is the low waste pants. It is so gross, and I think most people who wear them don't even realize they are revealing a little bit more then they thought.

And another issue is how it seems women today feel obliged to wear bikini in the beach. I am sure many are not comfortable wearing these things but they feel they have to wear them.

I hate how men who wear speedos should not usually be wearing them because the men who wear them tend to look very unappealing.

[Zelhar]

Well you are right but then they would probably look unappealing in shorts too. But many women could actually look quite good in a swimsuit but they shouldn't wear bikini.

I hate how women are pressured to get a "bikini body".

But why ? I am sure these women like their bikini body.

I'm happy for those who have them but I'm talking about women who feel so pressured to get a bikini perfect body that they stress out over it or worse.

Women with normal bodies are far more attractive than these anorexic-looking women.

I agree there has to be a middle ground between obesity and anorexia.

I personally think more women, and men, need to cover up at the pool or the beach.

Having experienced my first round of skin cancer I agree with you even if for a different reason than you had in mind.
