I absolutely loathe the idiotic PC mentality that constantly crops up in reaction to such things. On the other hand, this kind of moronic “Beavis and Butthead” humor is pretty darned pathetic (if not downright embarrassing in its lack of class and wit), and hardly worth defending.

It’s offensive because it’s public vulgarity, not because it’s an act of aggression against women. The former is fine in PC circles; the latter taboo, no matter how far-fetched.
A lot of young female athlete now practice in shorts or warm-up pants with the team name across the backside. Which is an implicit way of saying “Check out my a—.”
We’ll wait forever for men or a university protecting men’s delicate sensibilities to say that’s an act of aggression against men.

But on the back of the T-shirt it says...
“Our competition SUCKS”...

I guess they never heard the one about the two young ladies discussing the proper way to pronounce Pontiac’s Grand Prix.

I remember a big ruckus in the 70s when Blimpies had a tshirt with “World’s second best taste treat” on the front. Back then we called them women’s libbers.

Is this a good time to remind folks that National Outdoor Intercourse Day is tomorrow, May 8th?

Back when I was in college (in the late 1980s), a bunch of lesbians got their panties in a wad due to some t-shirts were sold and a fund raiser for the LAX team...

Pretty tame, actually, but they needed something to get upset over.

And this complaint from a broad who’s probably proud to go see the “Vagina Monologues”.

When I rowed(back in ‘62), we were a coxless fours.
No one teased us - ever!

The first time we saw that particular commercial together, I gave Mrs WBill a "Significant Look".
She said "Don't even think about it. After 4 hours, I'd be like 'Get away from me' ".
So much for that.

Oh, that’s just silly - both the shirt and the upset over it.
