Although the shirts are in poor taste and present the fraternity in a negative light, I find it somewhat humorous that a law student (the writer of this op/ed) is essentially calling for a ban on offensive speech (this clothing) or to ban men from the gym during certain hours. Moreover, the shirt reads, "Don't feed the sorority girls." The writer never opines she is in a sorority; rather that she is a second year law student. The message is not intended for her, and yet she is triggered. I'm offended by a lot of things, but I don't expect the world to revolve around me. She can work out at another gym if she dislikes the patrons at her current gym.

I am not condoning the message of the shirts. The fraternity was stupid to print these shirts up with their letters in the first place. I'm pretty sure that these shirts won't earn them any points with the sororities they are seeking to court for social events. According to the comments following the op/ed, there are about 20 guys in this fraternity. Not a smart PR move for them no matter how you slice it, and I have no doubt their advisers or nationals will be on their case about it after this article makes the rounds.
