  Of course what makes this campaign even more offensive is if the line carried the adage Hungry for Algebra for a guys line no one would be the wiser because once again it’s a boy’s role to be smart and the bread winner.So much for equality for the sexes, never mind a backward thinking fashion line.http://scallywagandvagabond.com/2011/09/forever-21-wants-to-let-young-girls-know-that-they-are-too-prettystupid-to-bother-with-algebra/

  Stop being so sexist, just because it’s a girls shirt doesnt mean guys cant wear it!

  But seriously arent there better things to be outraged by? I vaguely remember learning algebra, and if they had this shirt back then I wold have worn it. It’s funny, its a joke, calm down!

  i think it is funny… hate the color pink  but the shirt could be for male or female and that is how they should market it. I hated math and algebra sucks big time to me.

  if you don’t like the shirt, don’t buy it. I’m a math major and I wouldn’t mind having a shirt that says allergic to algebra.

  No, it’s people like you who perpetuate memes like this one. “Hey girls – people will hate us if we try and point out how we’re being demeaned!  Much better to look pretty and be agreeable!”  Jeez.

  The point is not that some girls don’t like algebra.  The point is that no one would create a man’s shirt that said that.  Because a man would be embarrassed to admit they are bad at math.  The maker of this shirt assumes that a girl would be proud of her academic failings.  Which is dumb.  Why should women feel like academic failings are something to be so proud of that we emblazon them on a shirt?

  Thanks to people like you I’ve been treated like a “little girl” in my computer science job and have had to work twice as hard to be taken seriously. THANKS.
