I didn't think higher prices for bigger sizes was a gender issue, as much as a profit issue.
More material to make bigger clothing equals more cost.
Most department stores that I am aware of charge higher prices for larger sizes. The "Plus Size" section is always higher priced than the "juniors" section for the same apparel.
More material = more cost.
It never ceases to amaze me how we can turn darn near any issue into something about someone's oppression.

Not meaning to be flippant about oppression, but oppression equals higher expenses; after all, more has to go into means of oppressing people than simply allowing everyone not to be oppressed, right...and who should pay for the means to oppress others than the oppressed; it's their own fault that they need to be oppressed. Can you follow the oppressor's convoluted logic... this was the kind of thinking/ justification I used to hear about detention and so called POW camps...especially in Central America during the CIA's wars for control there.

Indyfella: LONDON (Reuters) - Forty years after feminists threatened to burn their bras, British women have won another battle in the fight for equality.
Asda, Britain's second-biggest food retailer and owned by U.S. giant Wal-Mart, says it will no longer charge women more for bigger bras in its George fashion range.
"We're putting an end once and for all to one of the last prejudices -- that of the bigger-busted woman," said brand director Fiona Lambert in a statement.
"From now on, all bras at George will be exactly the same price from A cup through to F cup."

Maybe they should do what Victoria's Secret does...NOT!
D.K. Garments is a subcontract factory with 150 foreign guest workers (135 from Bangladesh and 15 from Sri Lanka), which has been producing Victoria's Secret garments for the last year. None of the workers have been provided their necessary residency permits, without which they cannot venture outside the industrial park without fear of being stopped by the police and perhaps imprisoned for lack of proper documents.
The Victoria's Secret workers toil 14 to 15 hours a day, from 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 or 10:00 p.m., seven days a week, receiving on average one day off every three or four months. All overtime is mandatory, and workers are routinely at the factory 98 to 105 hours a week while toiling 89 to 96 hours. Treatment is very rough, as managers and supervisors scream at the foreign guest workers to move faster to complete their high production goals.
Workers who fall behind on their production goals, or who make even a minor error, can be slapped and beaten. Despite being forced to work five or more overtime hours a day, the workers are routinely shortchanged on their legal overtime pay, being cheated of up to $18.48 each week in wages due them. While this might not seem like a great deal of money, to these poor workers it is the equivalent of losing three regular days' wages each week.
Workers are allowed just 3.3 minutes to sew each $14 Victoria's Secret women's bikini, for which they are paid four cents. The workers' wages amount to less than 3/10ths of one percent of the $14 retail price of the Victoria's Secret bikini

I would suggest that Victoria's Secret use less material in their product....
