question about clothes

Today I was putting Eric's shorts away and I happened to look and see what size he is wearing, and I had a thought. Why is that men's pants are sized by the inches in the waist (makes sense to me), but women's are not. I mean a woman wears, let's say, a size 8. What the heck does that mean? What is a size 11? But you know clearly what a size a men's 32 is.

Just something to think about. Thanks to Levi's for at least doing most of the jeans in inches so we can all know what size we actually wear.

This is why I don't shop for pants. I have Ellen tell me what to buy and I don't bother trying on anything else. I've been wearing the same style of jeans since high school (you think I'm kidding...but no.)
