No Fat Sizes

While perusing the internet, I found the following article:

This article shows the cultural focus of the nation. The clothes we consider to be "cool" or "awesome" are inaccessible to those who don't conform to certain sizes. As we read in "Women and the Knife", "for virtually all women as women, success is defined in terms of interlocking patterns of compulsion: compulsory attractiveness..." (168). What message are we as a culture sending when a clothing store, which is considered to be "good clothing", when there are no plus sizes. To a woman, it is demeaning, excluding them from these "cool clothes", and making them the "other". In this way, I feel it is discriminatory and reduces women to a position where they feel they are unnatural. This is not the message we as a nation should be sending.
