Rape t-shirt not a hit

Filed under: Fashion, Best of the Season

Generally speaking, I'm not one for censorship or political correctness, but I am a fan of tact (when applicable) and this shirt by David & Goliath is lacking in that area.

The t-shirt reads "No Means No," which on its own is nothing to raise an eyebrow at, but when you read the not-so-fine print, "Well maybe if I'm drunk!" it pushes against society's comfort zone. People generally don't find rape funny.

I don't believe that David & Goliath were suggesting as such, at least not intentionally. I'm guessing they were going for more of a crude humor concerning the lack of judgment that follows a night of Jager shots.

The ladies at Feministing were not amused, and David & Goliath took steps to appease them, rather cheekily actually, which I do like, by replacing the questionable shirt with this little number. Nothing like fighting humorless allegations against poor-taste with more humor, albeit in poor-taste.

Feministing readers even get a special discount code. That's sweet.
