Am I the only one who finds it hilarious that A&F used to be a fishing and tackle store... think Bass Pro Shops.
My my my, how the times do change...

Bone structure. Just last night I tried on a dress that would've otherwise looked cute and fit me, but it wouldn't zip up over my damn ribs. I went and got the large size and it zipped up but was too big. I also found out I'm a B instead of C cup now (former D), never thought my ribs would be the problem. insidious bastards
Hate to break it to you, but clothing sizes have been getting steadily larger since the 1950s, so what was considered a size 6 today would probably be a size 10 60 years ago. And trying to say Marilyn Monroe was heavy is also BS--she had an extreme hourglass figure that doesn't correlate to any clothing sizes we have today.
Good God, I know what you mean!
I'm SICK of listening to those obese women (not chubby cute, I mean FAT ACTIVIST "YOU HAVE TWO YEARS TO LIVE" MORBIDLY OBESE!) saying Marilyn Monroe is their role model because she was a size this or a size that and she was a plus-size woman.
What?!?
Who the f**k cares? I don't care what size Marilyn Monroe (or Scarlett Johanson or Kate Upton) are. They look good. They have curves! Fat activists who are all about "real women have real curves" are usually ONE big curve.
Not to mention all the insults I heard in my life directed at petite girls by disgusting fat women: "Anorexic", "You're going to throw up that meal?" and other cruel stuff like that. Good on the CEO to not cater to gluttonous hamplanets! Fuck them and their "i can't lose weight cuz muh genetics!". Fuck you and your genetics. Eat less, exercise more and you will lose weight.
Have you tried tightlacing? If you hate them as much as you say wearing a shaper corset under clothes can change the shape of your ribs/waist.
When I saw this on Facebook, I was so so tempted to comment something like, "Ha, this is hilarious. Not every clothing store has to cater to people who don't put any effort in maintaining a normal body size." But then it would probably make me look like a huge, insensitive bitch to all the people who don't share the same preference for the skinny aesthetic as I do. How did it become such a crime in our society to say that I prefer being thin? Some people out there are so insanely quick to defend against any sort of fat-shaming. Makes me so mad
Abercrombie always uses controversy to stir publicity. It's a marketing strategy, which obviously works well for them, or they wouldn't do it.
My husband and I listen to some of the commentary on the radio - His comment, "They clearly know their demographic, and that demographic doesn't care. The people that do care and are offended were never the intended customer, so there will be minimal, if any impact from those pissed off. Abercrombie just got 20 minutes of free advertisting from this station and whoever else is lame enough to bring it up."
And this is why I married him. Smart and skinny-loving.
But truthfully, Abercrombie vanity sized everything too. When I was cleaning out my closet last year, I found a 'size 0' Abercrombie skirt from high school and it straight up fell off my definitely-not-a-size-0 ass.
Found this little response and figured you all would get a kick out of how ridiculus it is:
