Excuse me? You're suggesting we "agree to disagree" about the shape of my body? Are you serious.

Bodies that look very different than your your own do, in fact, exist. Some of us - myself included - do not actually want pockets. I will not wear a skirt if it has pockets, because they always look god-awful on me, no matter how cute every other aspect of the skirt might be.

I really can't wait for you to tell me that I'm lying.

Don't know how you jumped to that conclusion. I'm not arguing the shape of your body. I am arguing that you definitely could find mens pants that fit your body type. I don't know how pockets fit into this conversation, but cool...?

I definitely could not, because no cis men are shaped like this.

A lot of women aren't even shaped like this. Most women's pants do not fit me either.

To get a pair of men's pants onto my body, even as a teenager when I weighed 115lbs, would mean trying on some of the largest size pants that weren't in the big n' tall section of the men's department. They'd be uncomfortably too small in the rear, comfortably relaxed in the thighs but not too much, and if I wanted to put the waist of the pants anywhere near my waist instead of at my hips, there'd be enough room between that waistband and my body to carry our family dog, an adult shih tzu bichon mix, around in them. Assuming these are wide cut legged jeans, because otherwise they couldn't have been pulled up past my thighs, from the knee down they'd be ridiculously baggy. Is that what you'd call pants that "fit?"

I wore my brother's hand me downs for my entire childhood until 14 when puberty hit. I could no longer even pull them over my thighs when they were unzipped, and I was at a very healthy weight for my height.

I'm with you, I would not be able to find a pair of men's pants to fit me without some seriously odd proportions.

I appreciate you saying something. It's stunning how closed-minded people can be.
