Look on the bright side. Anyone who wears that shirt is advertising himself as a jerk - and you know to avoid him. It's kind of like wild animals that have bright colours to let you know that they are poisonous. You know which guys are date-rapists and who are too stupid to get a girl to willingly have sex with them.

None of the above, of course, can really override the basic EEWWWWWW factor.

Interesting because I totally read that shirt wrong when I saw it. I read it more as a critique of date rape. I can see both sides. Probably my view isn't the one intended by the company selling these shirts.

Now we're going to get some bullshit lecture on how feminists can't take a joke, instead of a reflection on the fact that sexist guys are frequently unfunny.

That shirt is gross. But I agree that it's nice to know which guys to avoid.

You know, you'd think that things like this would frighten girls off, but working the night desk in a freshman dorm at a mid-sized university has disappointed me in many ways. I can just see a drunk 18 year old tottering in on her heels glassy eyed as she tries to sign in a 25 year old SOBER guy wearing this shirt.

And that's when I say "Sorry, I can't sign him in tonight. You can go upstairs though. Have a good night!"

If you strike the T-shirt down, it shall become more powerful than you could possibly imagine.

I still can't believe there are marketers who think people will buy this for $15 each. I guess I like to think people are better than that. And I'm sure I'd be wrong.
Disgusting.

I bet John Petroski has one of those shirts.

(He of the "Rape is magical and beneficial" article)

"I can just see a drunk 18 year old tottering in on her heels glassy eyed as she tries to sign in a 25 year old SOBER guy wearing this shirt.

"And that's when I say 'Sorry, I can't sign him in tonight. You can go upstairs though. Have a good night!'"

Brilliant. :D

Oh.
I misunderstood the shirt.
At first, I thought it was bringing up the alcohol/rape relationship in a not positive way.
Too early for me, I guess.

And props to Genny.

For a second when I saw this shirt, I naively thought it was marketed to women as a clever way of snarking back at those who say "stop drinking girls!! You'll get drunk and then you'll be raped!!" Kind of like, fuck you, I'll drink however fucking much I want.

Just goes to show you how out of line I am with societal thinking :P

Gotta love how, not only do they not tell men not to rape, but they in fact encourage them to do it by poking fun at it. AWESOME.

I once saw a picture of a girl wearing a shirt that said "no means eat me out first"

I kinda thought that was sorta clever.

I've got a poster up in my office of a guy, his arm around his girl. It says, My strength is not for hurting. So when I wanted to and she didn't, we didn't.

this makes me so made, and what's worse is a friend of mine thinks it's funny. how much of a horrible person would you have to be to wear this. Yes people will argue it's just a joke, but rape it not anything to joke about. I wonder if they ever think how it makes a woman who has been raped feel when she see's it.
