this is the part where i declare war on everything

why in the name of whatever deity you choose is the world full of three-quarter sleeves these days?  wtf, ladies?! -- are people, like, encouraging this?!  i want long sleeves, dammit, and i can roll them up if i want them to be 3/4 length!  (i want long sleeves with french cuffs, actually, but i'm prepared not to get too grabby.)

GRAR.

Clothing makers hate women

Men's shirts come in differnt sleeve lengths for the same size shirt. If a man has a short arm he can buy a shorter sleave. Same thing in pants, men's come in lengths from 29 inches to 36 inches per size.

IF a woman is lucky she can find the same size pant in petite, regular, and long. Normally, it's one length doesn't quite fit anyone.
3/4 length sleeves are the clothing industry's attempt to avoid having to offer women's shirts in short AND long sleeves.
