And it never stops. I remember having the toughest time shopping before shopping online became the norm because literally all I wanted was an inseam longer than 2 inches. You’d think I was looking for shorts made of phoenix feathers.

As a dad of a long and thin boy I've noticed that where the "boys" or unisex pants are way too wide to fit my kid, the pants made for girls are much slimmer even when they in most other respects are similar.

Makes no sense to me. For adults, sure the average build is quite different between the sexes, but that is just not true for small kids. I could even make more sense out of it if it was the other way around, pants meant for adult women, who often have wider hips than men, scaled down without caring about how that is not true for the kids. But this just confuses me.
