Can I wear this if I'm a SAHM ?

[baggingareaunattended]

There's a few tees I like, not so keen on the girl slogan ones as I'm a women, but I like this one and the WOMAN one .. but would I be a bit of a contradiction? As it goes I'm not married, but I'm technically engaged 😬

Why on earth not?

Why do you like it? To me it is making fun of feminists...

Go for it. Thursday through Tuesday we uphold the patriarchy with our unpaid physical, mental and emotional labour. Wednesdays we have a day off, for rioting.

Nah, we mean it.

You need to have the confidence to wear t shirts like this if it's something you want to do. I don't get the 'on Wednesdays' thing, either, isn't it suggesting you're a part time patriarchy-smasher?

Yes maybe, I like the idea of the T-shirt's, some miss the mark a bit. I tend to say my dog only eats children on Wednesday, so it's a saying form somewhere ?

It's from Mean Girls - 'on Wednesdays we wear pink'

✊ oh yes

It’s a Mean Girls saying… but this is a bit of a weird take on it. I can’t tell if it’s taking the piss or not.

But wear it if you like it!b

Would you only wear on a Wednesday?

I think it's ace.

I don't think it's mean girls. I might just have to watch it tonight to check.

On Wednesdays we wear pink is 100% from Mean Girls.

There have been lots of riffs on that saying over the years for t-shirts and things.

Love these!! Having come out of yet another team meeting where I'm the only woman I'm inclined to buy one of every singke top on this site and wear in Teams meetings from now on

It's a twist on the quote from Mean Girls.

"On Wednesdays, we wear pink"

Of course you can wear it!

Saying, 'On Wednesdays we...' isn't exclusive to mean girls.
I'm not a fan of slogans on t shirts, but if it's for a good cause I think why not?

The description on the website literally says 'And wearing pink is entirely optional.'

Don’t

Just don’t

That looks like it'd go down to ur ankles, the length of that.

It’s no more unreasonable than people who wear band T-Shirts and couldn’t name one fucking song (and Smells Like Teen Spirit doesn’t count…)

I didn’t know what it meant. And now I know, I still tthink it’s weird

Whilst I admire the sentiment I'm not sure how much patriarchy smashing goes on when everyone is encouraged to stare at your t*ts

I wouldn't wear it, makes me cringe a bit. I'd prefer to be a feminist with a high paid job, financial independence etc but I know being a sahp is equally valid. The t-shirt just looks a bit naff imo.

It's fine. It's been kicking around for quite a few years. But prepared for some proper surprisingly close minded bullshit telling you no and you cant/ shouldn't.

Oh look. There's already one.

Of course you can wear that as a SAHM! Feminism is making sure women and men have the same chances, not about ensuring everyone has to work all the time...
