'Boyfriend'

So I work at this retail store and everything nowadays had the word 'boyfriend' in it. Are you interested in trying on our 'boyfriend jean'? They are super comfortable and a relaxed fit. Or what about a 'boyfriend shirt'? No? Okay, we also have a 'boyfriend T' that you could try if you are looking for something more casual.

I don't get it.

If something is comfortable, worn-in, baggy, and hardly flattering on ANY body type it is labeled boyfriend. Then that usually causes some to say, "Maybe if I get these then hopefully the boyfriend will follow!"

Bleh.

What's all the commotion about anyway? Don't women have enough on their plate that the media shoves down their throat about how to look, how to dress and NOW that we should not only HAVE a boyfriend, but be wearing clothes that look like HIS?? Are you with me?

And it's not like there's a new line of denim called the 'husband jean'. Are you catching my drift? Why are women who are in their forties, married and have kids even compelled to TRY ON these jeans?? I cannot help that my temporary establishment of employment condones this product. However, they do as much for humans and the environment as one retailer can do, I suppose.

There's my rant. I feel better.
