Again, it's just a shirt that has a phrase on it, does that mean you support using it in serious situations? No.

Yes, it is just a shirt, and if it just says "bitches" it doesn't necessarily mean women, if someone wore a shirt that said "Keep your fidget spinners to yourself, autists" I wouldn't be offended, it's literally just a loving shirt.

I miss 2006. I was young and stupid. Bionicle had just come out. Nobody was whining over a damn shirt. I don't think the past was better, it ain't, but it was simpler. More peaceful.

i mean it'd be just like holding up a sign that said that everywhere. it is certainly correct that it is just a shirt, but messages displayed on shirts can still be damaging and offensive.
that being said, while i do agree that the whole "boys will be boys" thing is stupid, i wouldn't personally complain to a retailer about it
