Laura Malischke, a friend and lovely photographer, sent in an ad featuring “women’s sizes”:
The phrase “women’s” is perhaps the most common euphemism used in the U.S. (I’m not sure about elsewhere) to refer to clothes made for women who wear sizes 14 and up. What’s amazing about the term is what it implies about the “regular” sizes. If non-”women’s”-sized clothes are not for women, who are they for?
I’ll take hypotheses…
