Girls t shirt from next that says, you are not properly dressed without a smile

Wtf !!!!

The OP was offended and/ or expected other posters to be offended

Well, I suppose it depends on how you tend to commonly construe 'being offended.' I think if someone says that they're not offended, that should be taken at face value.

I don't feel at all offended by it, but I can see why it might be a reasonable topic of debate within wider feminist issues.

I love these threads. Nice one, OP.

Mainly entertained by those who think they get to decide what is and isn’t an issue. Do you ever read anything? Why can’t you grasp the basics of this stuff?

As for the rest of it? I would love to spend half an hour inside some of your heads.

People can decide for themselves what is and isn't an issue for them. It would be odd for anyone to suggest that women's status and portrayal in the media and so on isn't an issue for everyone. Whether this particular subject is or isn't part of that wider picture is potentially an interesting debate.

No-one is forcing anyone to recognise anything as an issue, merely to respect their right to give an opinion without being insulted.

I'm offended that the OP didn't stipulate her AIBU and then said she couldn't be arsed explaining it.

Ah, that's fair enough

Well we shouldn't need to tell you that song lyrics from Annie are not an issue, but there you go!

Why can’t you grasp the basics of this stuff?

Why can't you, is a better question. It's not that hard, musicals aren't exactly difficult to understand.

“She was no ruder than anyone else. No ruder than you, for sure!”

Show me where I was rude, please. I used the term “professionally offended”- which I suppose is a bit rude. But only after multiple “professionally offended” posts.

’Anyone who finds this offensive needs to get a life and grow up. It’s a line from an Annie song. A popular, well known musical.

Even if it wasn’t, there’s nothing remotely offensive about it at all unless you’re an over sensitive snowflake with nothing better to do with your life than complain about ridiculous things.’

@SheGotBetteDavisEyes Absolutely. It would be terrible to lay down the law on this matter and then insult people.

in your opinion they were. You were rude, you know that since you were trying to be rude.

@sidewayswithatescotrolley

Sshhhh. It’s getting late and you are way too excited.

you flatter yourself, you're not that exciting,

Absolutely. It would be terrible to lay down the law on this matter and then insult people

okay, we agree then on that then, I guess..?

All those defending it....have they got a version for boys? Of course a boy COULD wear the girl's version but given that clothing is segregated in shops like Next, that's unlikely.

“You were rude, you know that since you were trying to be rude.”

Actually, no I wasn’t. I don’t think anyone on the “this is an issue that we think is worth talking about” side has been rude. The “nothing to see here” side, however...........

All those defending it....have they got a version for boys

There is ONLY a version for boys to be found. It doesn't seem to exist for girls at all.

Odd really that we are saying a non existent tshirt isn't an issue, isn't it?

Love this!!

Cani hi-jack the thread to tell all you Musical slogan fans that Redbubble website is brilliant for t shirts & hoodies

Ds has t shirts with Guns & Ships (Hamilton) & Sieze The Day (Newsies) on & Dd has Who Lives Who Dies Who Tells your story. (Hamilton) She also has a bag with You Know Who Tells Me No - Nobody on. (Bandstand)

Anyway - isn’t it Tessie who sings that song. And the clue is in the pronoun “You”. You’re Never Fully Dressed not I’m Never fully dressed. So the wearer is telling someone else.

I genuinely think some of you need to take a deep breath and smile. Honestly, try it. Feel joy reach the muscles in your face and let it out. It’s a phenomenon isn’t it!

Nope. Still huffing.

With my arms folded. So there.

I know it's your opinion and you're of course entitled to it. But why be so rude about it?

Well the OP posed a question and when people disagreed or didn’t understand why she had got so offended by a t-shirt the attitude was “well if you don’t understand I can’t be arsed to explain it to you”. Which I found rude, so my response was based on the OP’s attitude.

She was no ruder than anyone else. No ruder than you, for sure!

Thank you. I don’t see how I’ve been any more ‘rude’ than others who’ve stated their opinion.

LardLizard is acting like an absolute massive cunt, getting us all riled up about a terrible slogan t-shirt but not telling us why...... fucksake.

For thise asking if theres a boys one, fomr another store...Men's smile related t shirt.

This also refers to boys, which in this context could be seen as patronising, or inappropriate to the wearer...
...or like the Annie one, its just a t shirt with a fun slogan from a film!
