Spencer's Gifts performs a public service...

^^^^^^^

Yes, that's exactly what I was talking about.

[Captain Jack Harkness]

Yeah, I'm not a fan of this bullshit.

Oh, did you know Wal-Mart sells a novelty shirt that says "Cool story babe, now make me a sandwich." on it?

Yet another "joke" that annoys the hell out of me.

[TheL]

Ugh.  Well, guess they're also helping me know which women to avoid.

I find the stores amusing because of the sillier things, like Star Wars and Sonic shot glasses, magnets that say "Support Sex Drugs and Rock&Roll," and the infamous "I'm So Gay I Can't Even Think Straight."

The offensive stuff always baffled me, tbh.

[Sleepy]

Plus they have delightful sex toys in there.

[Rabbit of Caerbannog]

Not saying I like any of these, but Spencers goes out of their way to offend EVERYBODY.

Honestly, the only thing that is almost as bad as the rampant sexism in these shirts is that they're so goddamn unoriginal and lame. They're as hackneyed as a Jeff Dunham stand-up routine with Walter the dummy.

[Auggziliary]

Actually after seeing the female t-shirts I don't think they are nearly as sexist. They're both lame and offensive, but at least they gave the ladies a chance to be assholes.

You saw the one with a guy on a leash, yes?

They're both lame and offensive, but at least they gave the ladies a chance to be assholes.

And how is that any different than saying...

They're both lame and offensive, but at least they gave the men a chance to be assholes.

Yes, these are the reasons why Spencers can be a wonderful store.  I don't understand who would buy those shirts, but they must sell if they keep stocking them.

I thought the leash one was an S&M reference.
Because at least we know they aren't being misogynist, they're just being assholes.

I thought the leash one was an S&M reference.

It probably is, but, from my experience, there seems to be double standards concerning male submission vs. female submission, at least from the sex-negative feminism crowd (not to insinuate that you are part of said crowd).

Case in point: There isn't a male equivalent of the shirt in question.

[armandtanzarian]

Actually I can see myself buying this for my lady.

We're both intense imbibers and met in a bar.

[IanC]

If i saw someone wearing these shirts, i think it would seriously affect my confidence due to my worries about my... well, yeah. *sigh*

I guess the male equivalent would be the "teamwork" one with 2 male stick figures having sex with 1 female stick figure.
Sometimes S&M is viewed sexy only when girls are into it too, a guy that likes it might be seen as "gay" or something.

[rookie]

Meh. People have the right to be douches. Just like I have the right to instantly dismiss them when I see them.

[Captain Jack Harkness]

So "WTF, Social Justice?" latched onto someone posting about this with it's usual snark.

All I have to say to that Tumblr is "Fuck You."  No, I "don't  need a buzzfeed link" to tell me that the shirts from Spencer's are douchy or offensive.  You know, some of us...

A) Don't fucking have a Spencer's Gifts in our towns.
B) Probably wouldn't give two shits about one if we DID have one, or went to a city WITH one.

Not all of us are in the loop, you fucking twatcocks.  Go fuck yourselves.  Sometimes you're almost as bad as some of the self-righteous social justice warriors you like to mock so much.

Honestly, I probably would address this directly on Tumblr if:

A) I had a Tumblr. (I really don't feel like signing up.)
B) Those shitcocks had an open Ask box.
