Every woman who has ever had to deal with vanity sizing or celebrated because a dress has pockets (POCKETS!) knows that the clothing industry is sexist AF. But it’s not something all people (read: men) realize, or maybe even consider.

So, intersectional feminist Bree Mae decided to share her experience on the differences between men and women’s clothing in a thoughtful and funny thread, which we’ll share in part below.

I bought myself two pairs of men's shoes today and GUESS WHAT they have arch support quality I've NEVER EXPERIENCED IN MY LIFE.

The construction of men's clothing - superb. The pockets - deep. Almost like we value men's physical comfort/security more than women's! LOL

Women's section: a piece of chiffon that barely exists. You must buy 3 camisoles & a new bra to wear under it. You'll wear it twice. $50+

But despite many, many examples that explicitly detail the difference between men’s clothing and women’s clothing, Mae got manspained by random a dude who’s presumably never had to deal with the blatant bullshittery of women’s clothes.

Thongs. Skin tight jeans. Bikinis. Push up bras. Crop tops. Mini skirts. Finding shirts that dont expose your midriff and/or breasts. pic.twitter.com/687lWjPVta

The real problem though is that they weren’t speaking Ryan’s language. Enter artist Jared Pechacek, who is fluent in Bro. Highlights below:

My dude, clothing IS sexist and has been for centuries, my bro, broseph, guy who's never had to worry about whether his pants have pockets. pic.twitter.com/K78CmIP6As

Man, bro, sweetums, I'm not sure you've ever had to deal with clothes meant to present you like a delicacy rather than warm/cool/cover you.

Titus Flavius Brosephus, you might not realize that the entire world has bent itself to empower you, to make you safe, & to leave others out

Have you, brocarbonate of soda, paid a second of attention even to the way clothes are marketed to you vs. to women?

— Jared Pechacek (@vandroidhelsing) August 2, 2017

Then someone points it out, and I can only assume, my fine market cockerel, that it's the first time ever for you. Which is okay.

And why are they saying it, Prince Charming? And is it uncomfortable to hear? Why is it uncomfortable to hear, Jacques Dudesteau?

— Jared Pechacek (@vandroidhelsing) August 2, 2017

Maybe you think it's just feminist whining. Did it occur to you there's a reason feminists are mad, Dudenheim Museum?

— Jared Pechacek (@vandroidhelsing) August 2, 2017

This is called "privilege", Brolossus of Rhodes. Privilege is basically all the things you've never had to worry about.

We've probably both been able to buy pants without going to six different stores. Our measurements are reliable. Because the world is ours.

— Jared Pechacek (@vandroidhelsing) August 2, 2017

I assume you want people to think you're a good person, Leslie Brope. You can start by not waving away the small concerns.

— Jared Pechacek (@vandroidhelsing) August 2, 2017

Just let someone be happy that she's found pants that fit, Bro Bronas (formerly of the Bronas Brothers). Or I might really get mad.

The world waits on Ryan’s response. Not really.
