State moves to ban T-shirts that are deemed offensive to girls

Evil White Male Oppressor writes "This is great! Girls have started a boycott--or girlcott, as they're calling it -- of Abercrombie & Fitch. "We're telling [girls] to think about the fact that they're being degraded," Emma Blackman-Mathis, the 16-year-old co-chair of the group, told RedEye on Tuesday. "We're all going to come together in this one effort to fight this message that we're getting from pop culture."

From this story:

"State Senator Steve Rauschenberger says he plans to introduce a resolution in the state Senate this week, calling on trendy retailer Abercrombie and Fitch to stop selling a line of racy t-shirts. The Republican, who is a GOP candidate for governor, says the $24.50 t-shirts are "offensive" and "degrading." He says if the Senate resolution doesn't stop Abercrombie from selling its shirts - he'll lead a boycott of the stores."

DOES ANYBODY REMEMBER THE T-SHIRTS THAT SAID "BOYS ARE STUPID, THROW ROCKS AT THEM," THE GREETING CARDS THAT MADE FUN OF AND DEMEANED MEN, AND THE KNIFE HOLDER SHAPED LIKE A MAN?!!! WHAT WERE MEN TOLD? GET A SENSE OF HUMOR! I GUESS WE NEEDED LEGISLATION INSTEAD. PEOPLE, THIS REALLY MAKES ME CRAZY!"
