@Laura Brown I can't agree with you. Wearing shirts about guns & violent threats isn't the answer to rape culture. In fact, this stinks more of rape culture than anything. It's about a man's property; not respect or a woman's value.

Even riot grrrrrls get the blues. ...There are websites that write about our band just because they know that it will get traffic to their website because people will go on the comments and say, "This band sucks and I hope the lead singer gets raped and killed." There's nothing in the world that makes you feel more vulnerable than when you're trying to retain any semblance of your personhood and there's people on the internet that are just... Who are these people that are just sitting behind their keyboard talking about how they hope I get raped? We live in a world where men are so entitled to women's bodies that when they don't get what they want they go on killing sprees.

The saggy boob scarf became popular about two years ago in Asian culture. Now your dogs can get in on the action by displaying their own "puppies" on a scarf.

Is Lingerie Still Risqué Business?
Are we, in the UK or the USA, really struggling to accept sexy lingerie as "mainstream"?
Women having and enjoying sex, women controlling their own bodies, we obviously have issues with; but women wearing sexy lingerie? I could have sworn we got over that ages ago...

Sexist jokes are seldom legitimately funny, but they do get attention, as is proven by these chinos from Madhouse, a British discount clothing chain. Their pants' labels provide detailed washing and drying instructions, and under them, in bold letters, state, “OR GIVE IT TO YOUR WOMAN IT’S HER JOB”.
