Abercrombie & Fitch Refuses To Make Clothes For Large Women

Abercrombie and Fitch has decided that anyone over a size 10 jean isn’t sexy enough for their clothing line, and doesn’t want them shopping in their stores and sullying their clothes. They decided to only hire good looking people so that only good looking people will come into their store.

“It’s almost everything. That’s why we hire good-looking people in our stores. Because good-looking people attract other good-looking people, and we want to market to cool, good-looking people. We don’t market to anyone other than that,”

That is an actual quote from their CEO Mike Jeffries.

I know I don’t have a lot of followers but this is something that isn’t right. They’re excluding people from being able to buy their clothes and they make it seem like it isn’t okay for people to be slightly chubbier or bigger than the average “cool kid” to own their clothes. This is something that shouldn’t be allowed to happen.

I’ve seen tumblr do some amazing things, and this place would be even more amazing to me if we were somehow able to show the douchebag who runs this company that his elitist, skinny-people only attitude ISN’T okay, and that we won’t stand for it.

Another quote from the article by Jeffries:

“In every school there are the cool and popular kids, and then there are the not-so-cool kids. Candidly, we go after the cool kids. We go after the attractive all-American kid with a great attitude and a lot of friends. A lot of people don’t belong [in our clothes], and they can’t belong. Are we exclusionary? Absolutely.”

And according to the source, Abercrombie & Fitch has no problem selling XL and XXL clothing to MEN. So this isn’t just body-shaming and dismissal of overweight people in general, but OVERWEIGHT WOMEN SPECIFICALLY, who are by Jeffries’ SUPREME judgment objectively incapable of being cool or attractive.

FUCK

THIS 

GUY

r u

fuckin

shittin me

How disgusting, ugh.

Never liked A&F anyway

This is just disgusting. who thinks like that! As if the world was not already full of enough garbage we have this jerk-off teaching people that it’s okay to HATE and exclude people because YOU dont find them “cool” this is what happens when you never grow-up.

I was running.
Wanted to stop.
Thought of all the people at the Boston Marathon who lost their legs.
Ran harder for them.

gettingahealthybody: We enter a little coffeehouse with a friend of mine and give our order. While we’re aproaching our table two people come in and they go to the counter: ‘Five coffees, please. Two of them for us and three suspended’ They pay for their order, take the two and leave. I ask my friend: “What are those ‘suspended’ coffees?” My friend: “Wait for it and you will see.” Some more people enter. Two girls ask for one coffee each, pay and go. The next order was for seven coffees and it was made by three lawyers - three for them and four ‘suspended’. While I still wonder what’s the deal with those ‘suspended’ coffees I enjoy the sunny weather and the beautiful view towards the square infront of the café. Suddenly a man dressed in shabby clothes who looks like a beggar comes in throught the door and kindly asks ‘Do you have a suspended coffee ?’ It’s simple - people pay in advance for a coffee meant for someone who can not afford a warm bevarage. The tradition with the suspended coffees started in Naples, but it has spread all over the world and in some places you can order not only a suspended coffee, but also a sandwitch or a whole meal. Wouldn’t it be wonderful to have such cafés or even grocery stores in every town where the less fortunate will find hope and support ? If you own a business why don’t you offer it to your clients… I am sure many of them will like it. Source : [x] This is such a wonderful idea! Zoom

the-exercist: iw0ntgiveupthistime: Zero excuses  Zero excuses? Let’s actually look at this:  I sleep for roughly 8 hours each night, therefore my “day” is really only made up of 16 hours.  However, the majority of my time is already spoken for. If I work for 8 hours and spend an additional hour commuting, then the amount of time during my “day” where I have control over my actions is down to 7 hours. Of that, I have to account for the time I spend doing all the necessary adult-y things that I’m responsible for: at least 1 hour of cooking and cleaning around the house, another hour of carrying out all necessary errands in town (such as banking and grocery shopping), at least 1 hour (usually more!) checking in on my grandmother and caring for her, and at least 1 hour to prevent a mental breakdown by giving myself time to breath. Now I’m down to 3 hours of free time.  A 1 hour workout therefore takes up 33% of my available time. Those 3 hours have to be split between all of my interests: volunteer work, reading, crafting, coming online, visiting friends or family members, playing video games, loving my pets and working out. Working out is going to get my attention most days, for an hour or less, simply because I know it makes me feel good. But I’m not going to sacrifice my other interests or relationships in order to exercise. If something else needs my attention, then the gym is going to get dropped so fast.  No one’s life can be simplified to the extent that 1 hour is actually 4% of their time. We all have other obligations and lives outside of exercise. These aren’t “excuses.” They’re damn good reasons. Trying to bully yourself into a routine by repeating this “no excuses” mantra is only going to hurt you in the long run - Not having time to exercise daily, or not being able to dedicate an entire hour to your workout, is nothing to be ashamed of.  Plus you have to add in the fact that an hour workout will probably require a shower. So it’s actually longer than an hour.
