Blog Highlight:
One Size Never Fits All by Cantor Mary Thomas
CantorMary
This morning, a voice on my radio said, "Just remember, one-size-fits-all really means one-size-fits-none."

 

This is the truth.

 

If one-size-fits-all is supposed to mean, "one-size-will-sufficienty-cover-you-while-making-you-look-absolutely-atrocious," then maybe, or "one-size-fits-AWKWARD!" (I'm reminded of my friend and TBE's former Director of Youth Engagement Andy Harkavy rocking out a one-size-fits-all Clifford costume... If you were there, you remember too.)

 

Then, there is the even more horrifying "one-size-fits-most." What if it doesn't fit you? Now, you are immediately marginalized to a corner of the population that is other to "most". I will tell you, "most" people are not too eager to be on the outside of "most". Read more.
