I just remembered several times that I was out with my then single younger sister and neice (again short hair) when on more than one occasion we had servers at restaurants call me SIR. Again, I looked at my chest and thought does EVERYONE need glasses???? Both my sister and I were/are LARGE women (she's at least taller so her weight is carried a bit different) but we've also been mistaken for a couple on more than one occasion and had a server refuse to wait on us, needless to say I went to the management IMMEDIATELY with THAT complaint. I explained to the management that we were in that establishment nearly weekly (at that time) and had no problem with most of the servers and that not like I should HAVE to explain that I was with my neice and sister, for the server to assume we were a couple was discrimination when she refused to wait on us when literally going to all the tables around us and snickering and pointing at us to other servers. We ate free that day and she was fired evidently because we never saw her again.
Most of the time when I got the SIR comment, we just looked at each other and laughed like NOT AGAIN can they not see my chest?? Granted my sister had longer hair and looked a bit more feminine than I did at the time, but there were still times when I was dressed a bit more feminine when we got it.

Oh well our society is strange and twisted when it comes to female "ideal" beauty and sadly many women allow other people's ideas to cause them to distort their bodies into unnatural proportions.
