Sick website-AIBU

Have I become a miserable old git or is this just sick?

I find it hard to believe that many true feminists would advocate such wear.

Doesn't bother me one bit... Wouldn't wear one because I would feel like a twat in a slogan top BUT what it reads doesn't offend me or make me cheer that someone else agrees?

I wonder how light hearted and funny it would be seen as had it been a man wearing it with the slogan referencing women.

I was waiting for someone to say that.

I just see it as Not Funny.

It's not funny - slogan T-shirts never are.

The lack of understanding about what feminism means is more disturbing.

I was of course joking up thread. Women are subjected to casual and intended sexism everyday the world over.......in the scheme of things this T-shirt is really not a huge problem.

Billions of men, why animal test? I must be the thickest person in thicko street, in thicko town...but I don't get it.....

Also all animal testing has now been banned from today! Hoorah!

Not all animal testing. Just for cosmetics isn't it. Bloody good start tho.

Has it really been banned? haven't seen this in the news

I thought you were talking about the Daily Mail website

EU animal testing ban

I hadn't heard about the ban either, thanks for the link.
Hoorah indeed

Yay to cosmetics ban.

More worried about talk of total ban. Given a choice between testing a new drug on my DD or a mouse, I am still voting mouse.

Great to hear about the ban!

Thanks for the link

Hooray to the ban, fab news.

Of course it's not funny. Or feminist.

HTH.

pretend
all you like, if this was sexism against women, lighthearted or not,
there would be outraged responses. I've never come across so many
man-haters in one place .

Yes it's sick

"I find it hard to believe that many true feminists would advocate such wear."

They're not.

Personally speaking I am a feminist. I'm not a man hater. Feminism doesn't mean man-hating. I don't think that T shirt is funny. I don't find violence against anyone acceptable.

There. How clear can I be?

I know that feminism isn't man-hating. I do read an awful lot of anti-man stuff on here though.

Could you be more specific? Because if you're referring to the relationships section then yes, you would. And if you mean "anti man" as in someone asking advice in Chat for how to deal with a partner who refuses to do help round the house, or share the childcare for example, then maybe yes you do read anti man stuff on here.

I know MrsDV. Anyone would think that being a feminist involved....you know....hating all men or something

I don't find it funny, but neither do I personally find it offensive: I'm not a man and it's not aimed at me.

I would understand if my husband was offended and I would support his decision if he decided to complain about it.
I will not complain on his behalf because I feel he should be offended: that would be patronising and officious.

For every T-shirt that is sexist and makes fun of men I bet five more can be found that are misogynist.
