Yes, there's a lot of truth to this... in the past few years, it's reached
the point where ALL jeans are "cut for womanly shapes".  Except those with
"a skosh more room," which makes it sound like you're a fat person if you
buy them... I buy those anyhow, eventhough I am not.

I guess the problem has been solved by reversing it... I do have a pair
of these designer jeans, and never wear them for that reason; whenever I
try to, I find myself asking, "what diabolical conspiracy is this, anyhow?"
This is something I have never understood.
