Jay is a fat midget so of course she complains about getting dress pants turned up......because she's the only short person on earth or something
J needs to experience being too long-legged to find women's pants with a long enough inseam--but with a normal-length torso, so the waistband of women's Tall pants ends up just under her boobs.
J needs to experience being a 5'1", 98 lb recent law school graduate who already has to buy most of her casual clothes from the girls' section because so few clothes made for adult women fit her. She can barely find anything work-appropriate in the Petite sections of stores as it is, and despite having a decent job she's also got student loans to start repaying, and thus doesn't have the money to have business clothes tailored for her. And shoes? Don't get her started on shoes...
J also needs to experience being our hypothetical law school grad's co-worker, a black woman of average height who, while not seriously overweight, carries it all in her booty and thighs. Women's business attire is just not made to fit a body shaped like that, and getting things tailored to fit--without, at the same time, calling undue attention to her figure--is expensive.
J needs to experience being the woman who is of a normal weight and height, but who has big boobs. And no, she doesn't want to show them off; she gets catcalled enough as it is, and being overtly "sexy" goes against her personal convictions. So the only tops that fit her properly in the bust without being too revealing are much too big everywhere else. Buying t-shirts is a nightmare because most of them are so low-cut. She has to take in the side seams, or put darts in, every button-up shirt she buys so she doesn't look like a slob, but the shoulders are still too big, and the sleeves too long. And why do so many women's tops have stupid pocket flaps, or eye-catching buttons, right at the bust?
Whyyyy?!
But no; J lacks the imagination to actually go there, and consider how not being able to find suitably professional-looking clothes that fit is a major problem for lots of women.
Nor does J have the self-awareness needed to cut through her denial and realize that all of the fit problems I've described above are ones the women in question can do nothing about--unlike J's, which are completely self-inflicted, and would absolutely be within her control if she decided to stop stuffing her fat face.
Oh, well. She's not going to be ambulatory for much longer, and thus will no longer have any need for clothes once she's bedbound. But I'm sure she'll write an article complaining that all the cute prints and fun colors come only in Twin-sized sheets, which are nowhere near big enough to cover her.
but, I think Jay is making all that up. Walmart has a big and tall section. I think Jay is just to lazy to go out shopping.
