    In this week's episode, the disaster squad discusses the clothing industry....again! But this time we are talking about gendered clothing, misogyny in clothing design, and POCKETS. Why does women's clothing cheap out on the pockets?? Is it a conspiracy from the handbag industry? (Yes). As always, Cat has a lot of feelings and is gonna share them.

    One Size Fits None

    Raise your hand if you've been personally victimized by Forever21. In this episode, Cat takes you through some of the tomfoolery that is the women's clothing industry. We talk about the racism, classism, and fatphobia that are so integral to the industry, and biiiiiiiiiii you KNOW we talk about sizing and how jacked up that is. This episode is an ode to you and those jeans that you agonized over ordering only for them to not fit even a little bit.
