The Ladies Win Your Own "Feminist KillJoy" T-Shirt!

Posted by Cienna Madrid on Fri, Feb 3, 2012 at 3:39 PM

It's been a long, teeth-gnashing week in the world of women's health, albeit with overwhelmingly positive results: Planned Parenthood is $3 million richer and Susan G. Komen's weasely Republican board members have learned an important lesson about using poor women as punching ~~bags~~ boobs to push their political agenda.

The fight's not over—Komen hasn't technically pledged to fund Planned Parenthood in the future (they've has simply reinstated PP as eligible to apply for their grants) and Congressional Republicans are still working to defund and discredit the women's health organization at the federal level—but fuck it, you helped Planned Parenthood raise $3 million dollars in three days! That's impressive! And you deserve a reward for your boob-loving altruism! Like a three-of-a-kind FEMINIST KILLJOY t-shirt!!!

Spread Joy as You Kill It!

All you have to do is donate to Planned Parenthood and forward a copy of your donation receipt, along with your preferred T-shirt size, to feministkilljoy@thestranger.com for a chance to win! If you've already donated, do it again! Any amount will do!

We'll be choosing three winners at random next Wednesday at noon, so you have until then to give!

OH HELL YES. Hadn't gotten around to donating in response to the Komen thing yet, so I've done it now. (Really wish we could get the Slog tag as well though!!)

this is in bad taste honestly.

Seriously!

THIS is how you want to reward folks for stepping up and taking action against this most recent attack in the republican's war against women...by gaslighting the feminist movement on a stupid hipster t-shirt!!!???!!!

Completely ass hat move, guys.

@3 You misunderstand the contest. You enter by donation and win by random drawing.

This shirt would be really funny if I were wearing it.

Wow. This has been a seriously disastrous move for Komen. So few of us realized it was run by big-haired right-wingers from Dallas. But a LOT of people know that now. What were they hoping to gain from this?

Best use of the shirt:
Be a woman. Wear it inside out, but don't wear a bra underneath. Get drunk and flash some dudes; their heads will explode from the juxtaposition of "feminist killjoy" and objectified female titties.

@8 if you're getting flashed, and your only thought is to try to read the inside-out text on the shirt of the boob possessor in question, you might be doing it wrong. Not that I think there's anything inherently wrong with the idea, though...

@3 I'd try to explain the humor to you, but then it wouldn't be very funny. Maybe you should just sit this one out...
