11 Moments When Plus-Size Customers Spoke Out — and Faced The Internet’s Wrath

Truthfully after watching a metric shīt tonne of Bollywood movies, men can look like a decaying corpse and still be a star. Women have a much higher standard.

I said no. And I’m a woman. If you are an overweight man you have to be insanely talented - comedian, etc. overweight women can be a plus sized influencer and little else. Show me the overweight men influencers.

No example of the "wrath of the internet?" I mean, you can't say you like M&Ms without some flake calling you a genocidal idiot, so I'm sure she got some negative comments but the article title suggests we'd get examples of how horribly someone was mistreated.

Men and women are judged on different criteria, for obvious reasons

I weighed well over 300 pounds for years, but I never once was offended that overweight people were represented. Why? Because we were/are overweight. Am I the only one who thought that way? If you want bigger clothes then you go to the big and tall section. Never felt offended by it. And I was massively overweight for 20+ years. I'm no longer overweight, but I was for for over 2 decades.

Honest question: Is that how bras with wires are supposed to be worn? I've always felt like they are way too uncomfortable for me, but I've put the band that goes around the ribcage, and thus the wires, right under the point where the breasts protrude from my chest. That led to a lot of being poked/"stabbed" by the wires. The way it is in the picture looks like it has less stabbing potential, but also kinda wrong.

No big girls, but no mention about big boys. Was this an event solely for women? I doubt it. You can't let fat men in and refuse fat women.

The stupid thing is, shes not even that big?!?? Like she has curves and shes beautiful, i wish my chubby rolls and belly fat looked half as good!! :'(

I would never share a story about my weight because I got fat all by myself.

Lose weight or get your clothing elsewhere. I'm also a bit bigger than what 'normal-sized' stores propose and yet you don't see me being all dramatic about it 😂 and I still can dress just fine...

Even when main stream companies size up often the clothes don't fit around the bust, while they assume your waist is massive. As a result baggy across the middle and bottom tight at the top.

Where is the "shouldn't be expected to cater to outliers" option? There is no money in it for them.

They cater to average height, too. There are very few options for tall women. Sleeves are always too short.

The few times that I've found something at target that fits i have to get a bigger size because their sizes are 1 or 2 sizes smaller than what I wear. Any shorts or pants I've ever ever gotten there are an 18 instead of a 14 or 16.. I love Cato but everything in that store is a size smaller than others.

My wife had a stroke half a year ago and luckily she got out of the wheelchair. Still, she needs a brace for her leg and walks with a cane. She's only 48. She wants to get in a pool too this summer. But it has to be safe, and a handrail is very necessary! Access to a pool should ALWAYS be available to people with a disability.

I need handrails because of knee issues - kids need them to stay safe - have never been in a public pool, hotel pool, etc. without handrails (in US)

What has weight got to do with handrails that would be used by so many different types of people. I'll bet older people or disabled people would like handrails. This is not a weight issue. It's a safety issue.

I have spinal cord injuries, I need the handrails to help get in and out of a pool because I cant use the ladders

Handrails should be included in pools. I love to swim but is pretty much afraid of depth. Anytime I go inside of a pool for the first time, I am anxious and needs to hold onto something so as to be able to get in as my legs are shaky. Handrails really helps in these situations.

Crop tops, shorts, and flip flops are beach attire, not office attire. I don't care how "laid-back" the business is. Grow up.

I work in a conservative field where most people would wear a suit, so showing your tummy would be absolutely bizarre, but otherwise...🤔

Look professional. I dont care what size you are

A crop top is an acceptable unless you work at hooters or something come on. If you work in a business , office something like that you don’t wear one. It is bad as these women who are wearing the goddámn pyjamas to work these days. Stop being so dàmn lazy have a bit of class and put some clothes on —actual clothes.

Even though there is no official dress code, there is always implicit decency rules that you better follow. E.g. you can't show up in a thong and a bra only, in an office environment and simply expect everyone to accept your choice without at least commenting on it. Applying common sense can solve a lot of issues, and saving a lot of time writing office policies, trying to foresee every stupid action the employees might take.

It doesn't matter what size someone is - a stranger rubbing against you is unwelcome. Chances are he would have gotten a dirty look if he'd been average sized. Yeah, maybe she's a b***h. Maybe she just doesn't want people touching her, and this guy pushed past her instead of saying "Excuse me."

Down vote if you want. But I had a middle seat between very large ladies. It was impossible to use the toilet as one said she couldn't get up . Not nice
