  listen. i’m a successful nyc girl. i can do math. i think their blurb is funny. lets not lose our sense of humor …seems a bit anti feminist to do so…just saying.

  I’m really sick of these “where’s your sense of humour” comments on the past three articles about these “girls can’t do math” clothes that keep popping up.  If this were a piece of clothing on a “African American” fashion page for men – implying that black people were bad at math — people wouldn’t be so freakin quick to comment.

  I’ve had to work twice as hard in my science field to be taken seriously as a female and have been told many times to “have a sense of humour” about things when people make jokes about me wearing makeup or “when I am going to go away and have babies”.  WTF?  Some women can’t do math, fine.  And some men can’t.  But men are embarrassed if they can’t and don’t make clothing or advertising bragging about it – and women shouldn’t feel like any academic foible is a badge of honour.  Would you buy a shirt if the blurb read:

  “Just because you have a terrible fashion sense and don’t know you’re Blahnik from your Louboutins, doesn’t you can’t enjoy this shirt emblazoned with fancy footwear!”

  Jeez.

  Here’s a page of men’s T-shirts about Math.  Note how they are all about how amazing men are at math.  Then look at the one t shirt at the bottom for women (in a women’s fit).  It’s pink and says “Cutie Pie” spelled out QT(Pi).  Not terrible, but why can’t women be amazing at math and not just “cutie pies”??? ARGH

  Wait, $112 for a short-sleeved blouse? Was it worn by Madonna or something?

  I’m a man, and I don’t think criticizing this shirt is a form of “bad feminism.” We are right to point out instances of patriarchal thinking about women, their choices, and their abilities. These shirts are not isolated instances, but rather reflect a society, and world, that devalues women, and their capabilities.
