The internet is all OVER this guy’s response to his gal’s XL clothes

by

As women, we're used to feeling like the clothes sizes provided on the high street don't accurately represent our physical stature or body shape, but we suck it up because we know that some stores can make us feel like goddesses and others can make us feel like ogres.

Knowing the label on your clothes can vary hugely from shop to shop is the norm for us, but there's one guy in the States who is only MAD to fight our corner on this one.

Benjamin Ashton Cooper was helping his girlfriend clean out her closet (We know, where do we find him?) when he realised that the vast majority of her clothes were labelled XL despite the fact her actual physique suggested something very different.

Taking to Facebook to highlight the issue, Benjamin posted photos of himself in his girlfriend's clothes, writing: "So I'm helping my girlfriend clean out her closet (literally, shut up), and I noticed that a lot of what she was getting rid of was of the XL size."

"That didn't look right to me, and here's why. They fit me. I don't say that to be silly or ironic. It pisses me off," he continued in the post which has clocked up over a quarter of a million likes since its upload.

"I am not an extra large man, and, more importantly, a woman my size is NOT an extra large woman," he wrote."This bullsh*t right here is why we have 8 year olds with eating disorders."

"This sh*t right here is why men shout "f*cking fat hog!" at even nominally curvy girls on the street. This is why men who think sexism is a "myth" perpetuated by liberal p*ssies are Full. Of. Sh*t," he raged.

Unsurprisingly, Benjamin's Facebook page has been flooded with comments from the public, with one writing: "Thank you for this Ben. I am one of those who has negative feelings about wearing XL size. I look in the mirror or at myself in general and don't think I'm that big of a woman."

"But then I go to stores and the only things I fit in are XL sometimes bigger, and that does make me feel a little bad about myself and think "Am I really that big?"…. This post really put things into perspective for me. Thank you!" she finished.

Benjamin for President!
