i can't wait for these to be pulled from the store only for some noble fedora wearing man to find a vast department store conspiracy that is working to take away everything that men love about shopping. #onesiegate
@dantsypants I think you meant that it's about to make you ask your handsome green boyfriend to defend your lady honor. Because obviously girls don't smash. They award favor to boys who smash for them.
Apparently DC is getting some heat:

UPDATE
Fortunately, DC itself agrees. The publisher released a statement addressing the matter specifically:
DC Comics is home to many of the greatest male and female Super Heroes in the world. All our fans are incredibly important to us, and we understand that the messages on certain t-shirts are offensive. We agree. Our company is committed to empowering boys and girls, men and women, through our characters and stories. Accordingly, we are taking a look at our licensing and product design process to ensure that all our consumer products reflect our core values and philosophy.
Thing is, DC's editorial staff *IS* doing good stuff. Captain Marvel, the new Wonder Woman book, and Batgirl - with it's strong women and non-spandex costume - all good stuff! That doesn't make this okay - but it is a good trend.
