So you think, that a slogan reading 'Linux for Ladies' on the back of a T-Shirt is offensive. I'm sorry for you, but I'm not sure that your particular view reflects that of everyone. You, have the choice not to buy or wear that T-Shirt as you see fit. I however, am an advocate of the right of a person to express his/her opinion. Any women who wish to purchase that T-Shirt should be allowed to (after all, these T-Shirts are for women aren't' they). Why I ask, should your opinion on the matter prevent those women from doing so? I am truly sorry that you've bad experiences in IRC, and I would be the first to defend and support you in your fight to deal with people who treat you badly. Please don't let your bad experiences effect other women who want to get involved and support Ubuntu.
