laureninspace: Every time I staff an anime convention, I am given a men’s size small t-shirt, which I am required to wear one or all of the days. Usually, I try to dress it up with a skirt and layers (that also helps if I have to wear the shirt more than once).  But until I read Geek Feminism’s wiki on conference t-shirts, I never realized what a big deal this was. While I know that staffing cons means I’ll have to spend another weekend wearing unflattering clothing, I didn’t think about how the male staffers aren’t worrying about this one bit. While I look sloppy and unprofessional in my ill fitting shirt, men look great. In the end, I’ll look less authoritative, be less likely to be asked for help from convention attendees, and be less likely to be promoted to a higher position. Women’s inequality is so deeply ingrained in our culture that most of the time I hardly notice it. It’s weird how it comes out in something small, like t-shirts.  Being a 5’7” male, this isn’t just a feminist issue. It’s a lack of foresight on the part of staffers since society believes all men are supposed to be big & tall.
