My household gets the paper catalog in the mail, and when I was flipping through the last one that came in, I noticed that out of all the photographs of people, there was only one adult woman. Furthermore, while all the men were smiling, the woman was looking sad and hugging the heartbeat pillow. Uncool. jadelennox, your comment reminds me of another issue with ThinkGeek – their catalogs.

American Apparel. Some of the most horribly consistantly sexist advertising out there. It's right up there with beer commercials. At our place we've been buying shirts from Bravissimo, because they tend to take in account bustiness when making clothes. Ugh. American Apparel.

"women's" T-shirts flat-out don't fit. American Apparel, one of the most popular raw T-shirt providers, has little tiny shirts for little tiny bodies. Many of my young, fit co-workers love them. Me, they don't cover my belly. The geek T-shirts available to me are sized for hot small women, or for guys. Guess which ones I buy? EXACTLY. “women’s” T-shirts flat-out don’t fit.

I could never seem to find anything that wasn't a babydoll... today I counted about 78 babydolls to five that would fit, if only they had some good designs. And hey, now that I've done the work to count them, I can send them an email about it... They’re already effectively boycotted, for me.
