Yesterday was all about kids
rocking gender-neutral clothes, so today I thought I’d give a shout out to a
fashion company that features shirts with messages that are anti-everything
that sucks, FCKH8.
The company has a new
anti-sexism video that promotes their “This is what a feminist looks like” tee
shirt.
And while they do use the “Real
Woman” message in the video, which some women complain about, they are not
saying that a real woman can’t be a thin model either, they are saying a real
woman is just whatever she is!
FCKH8 has gotten some bad
press recently with an accusation that sometimes their business practices are
not respectful to some of the very people they claim to support. Also, some
people find it offensive the way the company is making profits over serious issues.
I can understand both sides
of the issue. It’s true that the tee shirts are great little billboards that
spread positive messages, but it’s also true that it’s a for-profit company.
Do you have a problem with a business making profits off of promoting important messages about controversial subjects?
