Why is it..
That clothes for men are sized by either waist and inseam or neck and sleeve, but clothes for women are sized by numbers ranging from 2 through... well I'm really not sure how high the numbers go.
And just how were those numbers for women's clothes determined? Does it take 2 yards of fabric to make a size 2 shirt? Hmmm... that would mean a size 12 shirt would take - no that can't be it.
It makes infinitely more sense to size clothes by an actual measurement. Men don't need to take a slide rule to the store. A man with a 32 inch waist needs - surprise! a pair of pants with a 32 inch waist. 32 inches of waistline doesn't need to be converted to size 8.
It's not like the special numbering system for women disguises anything. We all know a woman who wears a size 2 is skinny and a woman who wears a size 18 is.... bigger than a woman who wears a size 2.
