Men’s Rights Activists reveal greatest t-shirt in history, victory for MRAs now assured

It… has a collar. And buttons. That’s just wrong. Whoever heard of printing polo shirts?

Also it would look better with the URL on the back, that’s too busy.

Ugh, if you’re going to be evil you should at least have some sense of style.

Polo shirts always just remind me of retail chain uniforms. Ick.

I don’t know for shirt, but I think the reason I’ve never seen a printed polo shirt is because the print should be around the chest area, and on a polo the buttons get in the way.

#failingmras, how silly can you get?

Yes, please wear it, it’ll be even easier to know how to avoid them.

Needs Comic Sans.

I give them an F- for douchebaggery and poor design choices.

Gentlemen of the Justice 4 Men and Boys party, read it and weep:

WRAP’s 12 Principles

4. Prohibition of Harassment or Abuse
Facilities will provide a work environment free of supervisory or co-worker harassment or abuse, and free of corporal punishment in any form.
Facilities will ensure a workplace that is respectful of a worker’s rights and dignity. This includes ensuring that no corporal punishment or physical coercion be used. Facilities will not engage in or tolerate sexual harassment, indecent or threatening gestures, abusive tone or language or any other kind of undesired physical or verbal contact, such as bullying. In particular, facilities will ensure proper training at all levels – including management, supervisors and workers – to secure a workplace free of harassment or abuse. . . .

7. Prohibition of Discrimination
Facilities will employ, pay, promote, and terminate workers on the basis of their ability to do the job, rather than on the basis of personal characteristics or beliefs.
Facilities will ensure that all terms and conditions of employment are based on an individual’s ability to do the job, and not on the basis of any personal characteristics or beliefs. Facilities will ensure that any employment decision – involving hiring, firing, assigning work, paying or promoting – is made without discriminating against the employees on the basis of race, color, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, religion, disability, or other similar factors (pregnancy, political opinion or affiliation, social status, etc.).

“This is what tasteless looks like.”

When I made screen printing equipment for a living, I researched the industry… and the most-printed style of shirt is, indeed, the polo… they almost ALL have grafix like “Bob’s Janitorial” in small font, right above the wearer’s left tit….

One of the comforting things about the screen print industry, especially for the independent entrepreneur is, sales are pretty much always ok. When times are good, people want a t-shirt to brag about it, when times are bad, people want a t-shirt to bitch about it….

Note… a “t-shirt”… collarless crew neck, Gildan Heavy Blend, maybe fitted, maybe not… but not a polo. Those are for “Bob’s Janitorial”.

Poorly thought through and executed ripoff copy of an original product with genuine value?

touche’

So much to laugh at here — starting with the fact that the shirt’s message appears to be Photoshopped onto the shirt.

I was thinking the same thing. These guys can’t even get a shirt right.

OT: SF power outage made the national newz

Power fully restored after San Francisco outage

I got my hair cut today during the outage. I walked up an old-fashioned dark, twisting staircase, hoping that I didn’t pitch right over the side. My hair stylist works on the second floor of a building on a floor dedicated to hair salon “pods,” salons staffed by one person. She was totally creative and resilient. She borrowed a co-worker’s pod, one with a big window, while he was out. She washed my hair with cold water — brr! — and cut my hair quickly before the other hair stylist returned. The power was scheduled to return at 5 pm. I left her salon at 3, turned the corner of the hallway — and hallelujah, the lights came on!

The denizens of the Cool Gray City of Love breathed a sigh of relief. Tourists too.

Peevee, thanks for that link. When I browsed it I saw another shirt promoting a fresh (to me, at least) hell: AVfM, in association with Mike Buchanan amongst others, are promoting another conference, to be held in Queensland, Australia this June.
https://icmi.info
Australian Mammotheers, please get conversation about this out there!
Paul Elam and Mike Buchananananan (sorry, can’t stop spelling his name once I start) are Masters of Ceremony. Girl Writes What, Cassie Jaye, Uma Challa will be speakers.
Local misogynists speaking will include Bettina Arndt – Keynote Speaker, bet that will piss off fellow speaker and not-fancier of being subordinate to womenfolk Mark Latham; also Greg Canning, Miranda Devine.
Early bird registration closed April 1st, so it now costs $300 US to register. Polo shirt apparently not included with registration.

The single most disturbing thing about this for me is this statement:

The conference also provides mental health professionals with Continuing Education Units for their ongoing licensure requirements.

If that’s true, I’d like to see it more closely examined.
