Read this post, explore the linked website, and bug their owners. zarhooie's complaint is that a lot of We Love Fine's geeky T-shirts don't acknowledge the existence of don't have versions cut to fit the female[-assigned-at-birth] geek, something about licensing, I don't pretend to understand, and Kat would appreciate it if we all expressed to them our desire for T-shirts cut to accommodate breasts.

I do not have money for that Korra shirt. I do not have money for that Korra shirt. I do not...

Yeah, the Marvel women vs men shirts are ridiculous. I think the real problem is that mass produced clothes are hard to fit people who aren't mass produced to spec.
Sorry if this was overly cranky, I think my massive hatred of "girly tees" just gets the better of me sometimes.
Though if you want to hear me rant about sexist merchandising, get me started about the mix of Power Ranger action figures sent to stores....

Yeah, no worries. Everyone has different tastes, and that's cool. I tend to not like girly styles (pink and cutesy) but like girl cuts. I remember how excited I was when I saw a girls' cut Avengers shirt that was a strip from the comics -- at Penneys, no less! No pastels. No cutesy art style. Just straight out of the pages of the comic. It was like, okay, someone gets it, that girls can be feminine and still like superheroes without making them cutesy. That's what pisses me off about only offering men's cut shirts, because it's like the default assumption is geek stuff is only for guys or for girls who want to dress like guys, that femininity and superheroes or sci fi are mutually exclusive. If that look isn't your thing, more power to you.
