How often have you heard from a SJW that Marilyn Monroe was a size 8. Well, a new article from Washington Post lays bare the women's clothing vanity sizing phenomenon -- "size inflation" if you will. Apparently "size 8 dress of 1958 doesn't even have a modern-day equivalent — the waist and bust measurements of a Mad Men-era 8 come in smaller than today's size 00."
The article, which also links to an info-graphic named Crazy American Obesity in Four Graphics, shows how American women are getting fatter far faster than we thought.
