So, what then, a housecoat, PJs and big fuzzy slippers emblazoned with
and pints of Ben & Jerry's?

Men taking out the trash and washing the dishes every once in a while. AMIRIGHTLADIES?! BENANDJERRYSANDWINE!
Ugh. Kill me.
Am I the only one that thinks they're just ugly shirts, regardless of what picture is on them?

You shut your goddamned mouth.
(I wear a hawaiian shirt to work most every day of the week, though I got too fat for the one that has pretty girls on it a couple years ago).
You could use your new powers and ban him. Search yout feelings. You know you want to. Complete your journey to the Dave side of the force.
Hey, I'm not stranger to Hawaiian shirts. Though I wore mine for the hilarity of it (and an easy way to find me in a crowded Florida theme park).
But then again, THIS shirt is a hundred times more awesome than those abominations. That's before even taking the pictures on them into account.
His shirt was unprofessional and ridiculous, but I don't believe the amount of negative response was warranted considering what he achieved. If any cause has to bully a man for his poor taste in clothing, I doubt it'll engender many people to join it.
Grr. Argh. I'm reading comments on the whole debacle and it's infuriating me. What should have been a monumental and historic event in the history of humanity is now being overshadowed by the trampled "feelings" of a privileged group. Fucken hell people, it's just a goddamn shirt! >:/
oh my god you babies, the comet landing is not overshadowed by feminist criticism of an inappropriate shirt. It's still going down in the record book and it's still momentous and I doubt in 5 years the wiki article on it will even mention dude's shirt.

As a man, this speaks to me.
Never read the comments. That should be an internet rule.
Which privileged group?
Give a pass to people who do big things, huh? Isn't that why we have a thread about a town covering up rape?

Also, I like to think I pick Hawaiian shirts that look good. Other than one asshole who laughed at them, I've had nothing but compliments when I wear mine. And they're a significant part of my wardrobe.

The vast number of people who instead of praising a once in a lifetime achievement, decide to berate the person responsible for it on something so subjective like his choice in clothing. Since they have luxuries like time and access to the internet to voice their displeasure, they fit the criteria of being in a group and privileged.
I'm well aware of my privilege too Krisken, I know I fit in the description I made. But I wouldn't be voicing any displeasure at all if those people didn't choose to create an issue out of a non-issue in the face of a huge accomplishment, I'd just be celebrating now.
Just celebrate, then.
If it's a non-issue to you, don't let other people's opinion ruin your good feeling.
Totally unrelated to this thread, I wish I could do that at work.
This probably belongs in a rant thread.
I'm sure if he had worn this shirt, tongues would still be waggin' about it.Turns out there's a hunky dudes version of the shirt, too. Equality, huzzah!
They'd just be wagging in a different direction.

It's the ESA, so it'd be more like "Excellent Shirt Association."
there is a lot wrong with that joke and I dunno where to start.
for one, I doubt any man has ever feared a kiosk guy raping or killing them. has a man ever been told "don't wear that suit, you're just asking for a salesperson to try to sell you a beamer"

Actually, when you go shopping for cars/car repairs/car parts at a scrapyard, common knowledge IS to dress down. I know it was a joke on the Cosby show, too, but my dad went to extra pains to look poor when we went to buy things where haggling was a thing - had me drive him in my beat up mazda instead of his nice car, "don't tell them I'm a doctor," etc etc.
Also, lighten up Francis.
speaking of sexual harassment of women
The joke isn't all encompassing of sexual harassment, misogyny, rape culture, etc. It is picking out one small aspect and trying to get men to empathize, because many aren't there yet. There is no headway to be made without bringing this across step by step to get more people on the same side of the issue.
