T-Shirt Company Promotes Date Rape And Profits From It

(03.03.08) Our friend Hanaa at New American Dream passed on this story to us. If you read this, you SHOULD be mad enough to write those in charge an email. So, please do…

A company called David & Goliath has been selling a t-shirt that reads, “No Means No . . . Unless I’m Drunk!” That’s right, a t-shirt for women (more like tween and teen girls) condoning date rape. I’ve attached the image that was on the website. A few feminist blogs picked up on this and the shirt has been pulled as of today. I know I shouldn’t be shocked in this day and age that we have so-called ironic shirts joking about rape, but I am.

I am asking you to please send an email to their customer service department at questions@davidandgoliathtees.com requesting that any profit made from that shirt be donated to the Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network, which runs the National Sexual Abuse Hotline and carries out programs to prevent sexual assault, help victims, and ensure that rapists are brought to justice.

I was unaware of anything this company sold other than stuff that read “peas on earth” but this classy company also sells fitted tees that read “Miss BJ” among other gems.

Thanks for helping make the world a little more feminist,
Hanaa
