Signed. 978 now...

yime to repeat the point - those are emphatically not feminist t shirts. Feminism is not defined by hating men, encouraging violence and downing pints. Start a petition about those t shirts and as mum of two DS I would sign.

SauceForTheGander · 11/06/2014 18:00

Child Eyes are tweeting them too and done a great pic to get point home

SauceForTheGander · 11/06/2014 17:57

I've signed.

There's a letter too letter - apologies if already linked - I have very tired toddler hanging off me Grin

Hairylegs47 · 11/06/2014 17:54

I don't think the feminist T shirts had guys hanging out of posing pouches saying 'wanna play with my balls?' All nudge nudge wink wink.

Re the diet coke ads, I couldn't stand them, made my blood boil.

These tee shirts from Blue are just skanky. I'm surprised no one at Blue thought they'd .... No wait a minute, it all publicity isn't it.
Sad, sad sad.

boys are stupid throw rocks at them... that's a feminist tshirt? Hmm

Let's pretend it is. I had nothing to do with the making of that tshirt so I really don't think I can be held responsible for it and the fact that some where out there is another tshirt that is annoying does not mean I can not complain about this tshirt.

for fucks sake,

Yime: those are not feminist T shirts: they are offensive T shirts. Start a petition - I'll sign it. In fact, why haven't you? Petitions do get things dumped. Or is that you just prefer to slag off women who take action against things they find offensive, while not being prepared to lift a finger yourself against things you think are offensive?

MrsTripTucker · 11/06/2014 17:03

Signed!

PacificDogwood · 11/06/2014 17:01

How's this 'fun to wear'? Confused

Hairylegs47 · 11/06/2014 16:46

Funnily enough, I just emailed them yesterday!
This was their response
Dear Hairylegs47,

Thank you for your recent correspondence pertaining to our stock.

Our male and female product designers create certain t-shirt ranges that are fun to wear and their intention would never be to cause upset or offend our customers.
Please accept our apology for any upset these garments may have caused you.
Yours sincerely,

Yeah, they are really sorry Hmm

They remind me of those peanuts on a board in the 70's. Didn't think pictures like this had a place in the 21 century on tee shirts any way.

Signed

LadySybilLikesCake · 11/06/2014 16:44

They are either boring or have sexual innuendo's on them Sad

BillnTedsMostFeministAdventure · 11/06/2014 16:43

That's weird, NONE of those have near naked men on them.

WildEyedAndHairier · 11/06/2014 16:38

I was interested in seeing what their idea of T-shirts for women were like.

Can't say I'm surprised but yes, depressing Sad

BillnTedsMostFeministAdventure · 11/06/2014 16:35

Yime

If you point me to your petition against that T-shirt which is referenced almost as often as the Diet Coke ad I will sign that too.

LadySybilLikesCake · 11/06/2014 16:14

Have you seen the rest of their 'collection'? Sad Depressing! 2014 and women are still seen like this. www.blueinc.co.uk/men-c42/trends-c525/kick-off-time-c1416?utm_source=20140611kickofftimemain&utm_medium=hp&utm_term=20140611kickofftimemain&utm_campaign=20140611kickofftimemain

LadySybilLikesCake · 11/06/2014 15:31

Nope, two wrong's don't make a right bumping

HaroldsBishop · 11/06/2014 14:52

The "Boy's are stupid" tshirt isn't feminist is it, its just misandric.

Besides two wrongs don't make a right and all that...

KristinaM · 11/06/2014 14:50

And here was me thinking I lived in a democracy and I DID have the right to complain

Thanks for setting me straight
