This summer I became aware that the Dry Cleaner charged more for my shirts than for my husband's. I asked about this and they said that the pressing machines are designed for shirts which are larger than women's shirts. Therefore, women's shirts must be pressed by hand. Since more labor is involved, they charge more. I cannot vouch for the veracity of this information. If it is true, it is just another instance of women being treated as "abnormal". In this case, it is their size which is abnormal. Since we cannot change our size, they should change the machines. Fat Chance! /\ /V V\ Eileen Schwab / ^ ^ \ \______/ "Some like it HOT!"

I wonder if small men have to pay more to have their shirts pressed. Sherry Mann
