i saw this on feministing and was outraged. i'm writing to the company and if you want to do it too, there's a link in the story. i went one better and printed a picture of ANOTHER tee the company had as well
by the way, they come in 'junior' sizes. wtf?????????????Rape: Makes for great t-shirts
You know, I just have no words. I'm too fucking mentally and emotionally exhausted to yet again explain why rape isn't fucking funny.

disgusting . . .
I'd like to counter that with a shirt worn by one of my favorite author's daughter.
i LOVE that tee (at the link)! wicked cool and MY sentiments exactly
the rape tee above is being modeled by someone who to me, looks VERY young. older than 10, but to me she sure looked younger than 20. i cropped her face on purpose. it IS on THEIR website. perhaps the model is an orphan and doesn't have parents. i know if i was her parent i would explain NO MEANS NO AND RAPE IS RAPE ALWAYS. drunk, sober, short skirt, burkha, nun or prostitue.
Once Large made a tasteless comment about rape . . .
He got a lecture, then he had to read Lucky, by Alice Sebold. We had a family discussion when he'd finished it - in all it's brutal, gory detail. I think it all made an impression.
what a wonderful parent you are. why? for knowing large had made a mistake (or misspoke at the very least). i see so many parents denying their children need (at least) a talking too
i think asking large to read lucky (which i've not read because i know i'm not yet at a place where i can read it - i did read lovely bones though)was a courageous, thoughtful, perfect thing to do. i only wish the partents of these men did the same for them: (both from the SAME connecticut college newspaper. one a cartoon of a 14 year old latina locked in a closet and being pissed on, the other about rape being magical)
the cartoon posting from me
(i couldn't find my original posting on the rape is magical 'SATIRICAL' article but here's another source from common nonsense
Lucky is a really tough book to read, since it's a true story. But more than what you'd expect it's about how people around Alice changed after she'd been raped - how differently she was perceived, how differently she was treated. Being treated like a victim was bad enough, being treated like she had been complicit in the act was worse. No matter who it was, everyone treated her differently and she never got her life back - she had to adapt to a whole new life, one she hadn't been prepared for.
I recommend it as reading for all young men.
rick, i know the story. not hers (personally) but mine (personally)
It's a rough story to hear, rougher to live, and far too common.
yes way too often. the figures differ depending on where you look. it MAY be 1 in 3 for kids and 1 in 5 for women. i don't know. i DO know 1 in itself is 1 too many
however, one goes on and one helps others get on as well
