Mens
Explanation
The Joke
A woman is shopping for clothing and tells the store clerk: "Hi, I really like this shirt, but do you have it in men's?" The clerk responds with a confused "Men's?" The woman clarifies: "One-third the price and not transparent to light." The clerk flatly responds: "We do not."
The comic highlights the well-known disparity between men's and women's clothing in retail. Women's clothing is often more expensive than equivalent men's items (sometimes called the "pink tax"), and women's clothing is frequently made with thinner, more sheer fabric that is essentially see-through. The woman isn't actually asking for a men's size or cut -- she's asking for the qualities that men's clothing takes for granted: reasonable pricing and opaque fabric.
The Humor
The humor comes from the woman redefining "men's" not as a size or style category, but as a set of qualities -- affordability and basic functionality (not being transparent). The clerk's deadpan "We do not" is the perfect punchline, confirming that these qualities are simply unavailable in the women's section. The joke resonates because it captures a genuine and widely shared frustration: women's clothing often costs more while offering less material and durability. By framing the request as wanting the "men's version," the comic efficiently highlights this double standard.
