So. Lululemon is in hot water because it's founder, Chip Wilson, has said that "quite frankly, some women's bodies actually don't work for [the products]." This is outrageous. He like, totally told the truth.
Haven't we been joking for years that "some people just shouldn't wear yoga pants"?

Women are complaining after the (very nicely worded) remarks from the founder have surfaced. They claim that LLL is discriminating against plus sized women. While I can see how LLL is not built for plus sized women, just because they're not catering to them doesn't mean they're discriminating against them, or does it?
At what point must a company serve every human that exists? Guess does not make plus sizes, and I'm sure that their jeans would thin in the thighs as well, under days and days of rubbing together. Yet we allow them to keep making clothes. Maybe because it's obvious they aren't built for fat girls. But LLL stretch, so nearly anyone can squeeze into them. And then this;
"I'M IN, BUT YOU MAKE SHITTY CLOTHES BECAUSE NOW I'VE GOT A HOLE IN MY CROTCH. DAT NOT FAIR. LULULEMON EVIL. ME ALWAYS RIGHT."
What we have to realize is that Chip Wilson of LLL has not said that heavy (or "normal" sized blahblah) women can't wear his clothes, not even that they shouldn't. He has simply pointed out that their bodies are putting the clothes under a different condition than they were designed for, and that they need to be aware of this when they're spending 100-200 $ on a pair of fucking yoga pants.
"You can wear our stuff, but you might fuck them up a bit."-Total direct quote.
People with Hyperhidrosis (excessive body sweat) don't complain that white t-shirts stain when they wear them.
Chip Wilson was very polite and even tentative with his speech. Meaning he knew the world of women was going to freak out, and yet he told the truth anyways. What a fuckin' guy.
