Susan Bordo, Empire of Images in Our World of Bodies. Great read.
Where
she mentions the absurdities of our clothing sizing system and the
definition of the plus-sized body, I have one note. TMI but necessary
information. At 5'6", I weigh 130 lbs and I wear "plus-size" sports bras
from Lane Bryan. The message is that it is just flat out ridiculous;
not only in its distinction as a clothing sizing category, but also our
perception of what constitutes "plus-size."
