The blog-hers over at Feministing have their knickers in a twist about t-shirts. No, they are not inflamed about wet t-shirt contests. Nor are they outraged that "tank tops" are now routinely referred to as "wifebeaters." Rather, they're exercised about the t-shirt to the right and apalled that Wal-Mart thinks it's right to sell it.
