Most of the time I don’t take my phone with me when I leave the house. Recommend everyone try this at least once intentionally, it’s nice not being contactable and is a right as a human being.

Actually scratch that, I recognise this is a privilege I have and not everyone Is safe or feels safe when they leave the house, which is awful.

Fucking fucked up world, makes you want to rage and cry

In my experience of wearing both men’s and womens tshirts, women’s tend to have shorter, capped sleeves, not be as long in the body and kind of slimmer in the middle (leaving a bit more room for the bust and hips I guess). I’m a M in men’s, about a 14 in women’s tshirts

Bamnan are you always this emotional?

#83

Not always no but I just caught myself in a very real way highlighting my own privilege and the silence hung there in my mind for a moment and it was really sad, that I could at once be expressing something I thought was helpful and also be thoughtlessly showing that I don’t know shit…that’s really upsetting, like there’s no innocence for me any longer.

I can’t explain it properly which is why you ended up with this bullshit post.

Sorry everyone.

Also there’s just no way to not look like you are fishing for a compliment sometimes. I guess it’s ok to be falliable right? Going to go with that for now :slight_smile:

I’ve had t-shirts screen printed for my business and the ladies ones had capped sleeves and were a bit smaller.

A weird trend that I’ve noticed is that it has become less common to see bands selling girls merch now that it was 10 or so years ago even though female attendance of gigs has noticeably risen??

I also judge bands with female or trans member(s) that don’t sell women’s merch harshly.

I think men can have squarer/wider shoulders which means women’s t-shirts can be tighter across the shoulders and then seem to have shorter sleeves.

Most sizing is pretty weird anyway. When I was a student I obviously bought everything in Large because the look was to have baggy t-shirts but now I tend to try to go for a Medium men’s. It’s mostly okay but I definitely need to try them on to be sure.

And then you have US sizes… If I buy a shirt from a touring American band I buy medium, but if I’m buying a UK produced shirt I buy large.

#94

nice to have the option but I really don’t like ladies fit t-shirts anyway
why should men get the monopoly on nice standard non-clingy t-shirt shaped t-shirts. I just buy the smallest mans one and pretend its all ok

#95

it’s ok to wear whatever you like!

All Saints and their combat trousers were good for /something/, then!
