Really, Urban Outfitters?

This most definitely is ANOTHER reason to boycott Urban Outfitters.

Besides their clothing and accessories being far too overpriced, this store has proven to be quite discriminatory.

First, they pull a ‘I support same-sex marriage’ t-shirt off the shelves, because they say that the media gives ‘bad press’ - then they do THIS?

I have seen some pretty tasteless shirts in this store, but this one just creeps me out. [Click the link above to view.] It reads: ‘Fathers it’s up to you to preserve your daughter’s virginity!’ And the photo that comes along with it just makes matters worse.

This is sexist to the max - but THAT is not ‘bad press’? This is not ancient times, people. Women’s voting rights were officially (and quite belatedly) passed in 1920. It is almost 100 years after that. Wake up and fucking protest this bull shit.

This is not the first time that Urban Outfitters have been protested against. In 2003, they were forced to stop selling such items as GHETTOPOLY - an imitation Monopoly game that features Black American stereotypes and thus racist undertones. Also in 2003, they released a T-shirt with the phrase ‘Everyone Loves a Jewish girl.’ surrounded by dollar signs.

So, really, why pay for over-priced American Apparel anyway?
