Go take a handful of shirts or pants and just compare the size written on that little tag on the back. Your findings will probably differ depending on if you mostly wear men’s or women’s clothing. If this is news to you, then get comfortable as you scroll through.

This was an experiment that TikToker, father, ally, and Men’s advocate Expatriarch, who shared the realities of women’s clothing sizes with his viewers. So if you have never gone into a store to buy women’s clothing, then get ready to see just how many different sizes can, somehow, be applied to the same pieces of clothing.

“Gentlemen, another way that subtle sexism shows up, is in clothing sizes. Now, my fiancé gave permission to raid her closet, and these are all pants that fit her.”

“All right, so we got a size 8. We got a size 10.”

“These are a size 4 or 27, size 29.”

“We also have a medium, so good luck guessing what size that is. Apparently it’s the same size as a large in these.”

“All right, so let’s compare that to the men.”

“34. While sizing is pretty consistent for men, there’s incredible variation in sizing for women across brands, meaning that waste measurements can’t be relied upon.”

“And you can even be a different numeric size in the same brand, depending on different styles, and even more difficult for their partners to be able to buy clothes for them. It’s just something to consider that even something as simple as throwing on a pair of jeans can take women a lot more effort.”
