I'm a woman - don't offend me...

Mean Teeshirts are mean...

Hmmm, here's some Missy Elliot Lyrics for teeshirts:

Niggas

I always keep a good nigga

I get him for his figures

I A-K-A gold digga

(that sounds empowering - using "niggas" for their money...)

Fucker

Stupid niggas

Who always think they can play somebody

(now that's way less offensive then Anatomy Tutor," "Men Prefer Tig Ole Bitties," and "Please Tease." )

Pussy don't fail me now

I gotta turn this nigga out

So he don't want nobody else

But me and only me

Can we have a troll filter, please?

I'm guess I'm old-school internet, but to me, when an article asks for Missy Elliot lyrics as possible teeshirt slogans - and I post said lyrics, how is that trolling? Are you so thin-skinned that any dissent scares you? I guess I'm also old-school feminist - those were the days when women wanted equality - not a world free from offense. I'd bet that the most whiny and thin-skinned among you are also the youngest, the product of a university education that tosses (improper) dissent to the wayside - remember girls, no inappropriate laughter...

It's trolling because you deliberately cherry-picked some shit you knew would be offensive, and did so (as far as I can tell) just to be an ass.

Relax a bit, dude, and try to offer at least something substantive. You should also consider going by "Jeff." There's just something about a grown man still going by "Jeffrey" that creeps me out a bit.

Did they pull all the mocking, offensive, edgy or whatever you want to call them shifts that relate only to women and leave all the others? Or did they decide to give up on "edgy" humor altogether. Is it possible that the standard for offensiveness would vary depending on who is being talked to or talked about

That is soooo cute. Yes, yes, anyone who believes a t-shirt can be empowering is in for a very rude awakening in a few years, but...shhhhhh. Let's keep that to ourselves. Don't ruin it for her. She'll be 23 soon enough.

er, what's yer point?
