Hello, Kittenclaw, and welcome!
I agree with your assessment- I just think its a goofy situation. I mean, if a woman says “I’m a size 3!” and she’s obviously larger than that, who is being fooled? And how can it be good to never really know what size a piece of clothing is based on its purported size?
I would like a world where people could be encouraged to live a healthy life, and not be so concerned about inches, centimeters or sizes. But mostly I’d like a world where I can buy my wife a piece of clothing as a gift and have some hope that I bought the right size 🙂
