I bet if that shirt was available in sizes 2XL, 3XL and Lindy West then there wouldn't be an issue.

Target Ditches Gender Labels on Toys, Home and Entertainment
Target is ditching boys' and girls' labels on toys after the store says customers were raising concerns about unnecessary gender-based signs.
In an statement posted to their website on Friday, Target announced they were moving away from gendered signs in stores.
"Over the past year, guests have raised important questions about a handful of signs in our stores that offer suggestions based on gender," the posting read.
Molly Snyder, a spokeswoman for Target, told NBC News the ways that people shop are continually evolving and changing.
"We tried to look at what makes sense and what doesn't," Snyder said.
For apparel, the signs will stay. But in departments including Toys, Home and Entertainment, Target says suggesting products by gender is "unnecessary."
"We heard you, and we agree," the statement said. "Right now, our teams are working across the store to identify areas where we can phase out gender-based signage to help strike a better balance."
The store said they will also remove references to gender by no longer including the use of pink, blue, yellow or green paper on the back walls of shelves.
Changes will start to be seen in stores over the next few months, the company announced.

Seen that story today. The SJW's are attacking Target and people ditch them. Waiting for Target to go under.

Reminds me of a T-shirt like that my ex used to wear that said "Undeserving"
...so prophetic
The only women who are upset are non-trophy or non-potential trophy wives.
I saw a baby wearing a shirt a few years ago that said "my mom is a milf." The mom was actually a milf.

speakeasy said:And how many times have I seen this shirt through the years? But they never fight to ban this.
SJW's and feminists can be vulgar people too, and a lot of them are. I was painfully reminded of that fact during the "Battle Of Montreal" last weekend. Many of these activists are just plain ugly when it comes to looks and character. "Eat my cunt!!!", you remember that line? So as long as the message is right they don't care about the word "vagina" since the message on this T-Shirt is perfectly in line with their fews about sexual consent.
