Forever 21's Shirts Cause Outrage

I require non-photoshopped pictures of these.

I think these kind of shirts are getting ridiculous. I admit, some are funny and amusing. But I don't think this one is amusing at all since its making people think that being smart at math is not cool.

It's mostly the soccer moms who're screaming bloody murder here

They think the shirts portray an unfavorable stereotype that women aren't good at math, should be doing home ec., learning how to be proper mothers and not to defy their husbands, blah blah blah......

I personally think it's bullshit. While I do see why they're concerned, I have 2 shirts that are just like that (I am a male). One has 3 monkeys on it and it says "See no homework, say no homework, do no homework" and another that says "If homework is found please complete and return". So I don't see why these same shirts are problematic if they are promoted towards the opposite shirts (granted, my shirts are funnier while these are "promoting" stupidity).

Sexist would be having a shirt saying, "Bros throw me a fist bump, Hoes get in the kitchen and make me a sandwich."

Those shirts are just distasteful and just gives me a lesser image of people who wear them.

Well, girls DO suck at math...

I want to buy that algebra one for my brother-in-law. He's a calculus teacher. Too bad they probably don't make one in his size, cuz today was his birthday! :laugh:

I don't see the issue. Not only are the sentiments expressed true, but they extend to most school-aged youths regardless of sex. Except for the being too pretty part.

Old news... Bah humbug... :laugh:

These aren't sexist, they just promote stupidity.

I second this.. except I don't think it doesn't really promote stupidity.. it's just not very classy..

The main problem is that they aren't even funny.
