It's a shirt that perpetuates a negative stereotype.
Whether or not my daughter has that shirt, she has to deal with the type of culture it represents and perpetuates.
I will always protest anything which denigrates women and their intellectual ability.
After all , I'm a sorority woman; I am the product of an organization founded by women who were told they were too weak intellectually to succeed at the college level. They fought in 1874, I'm still fighting in 2011. I am the mother of two daughters, and I've had to raise them in a culture that even in this day and age will try to sexualize them and teach them their worth is bound up in their appeal to the opposite sex. Nope, not doing it.
