Something has happened in Africa and it is rejected because of ludeness/chauvinism....words we Africans use when trying to show that WE have values. You know...not like y'all westerners (lol). What happened? A store started selling funny shirts with controversial slogans on it....Don't worry, they were pulled off the shelf. One of the shirts displayed an acronym for the word 'Single'
Stay
Intoxicated
Nightly
Get
Laid
Everyday.
I actually thought it was funny. However, human rights groups, feminists, and anti-HIV groups didn't find humor at all.
I don't know. Doesn't South Africa have better things to worry about? Well...I guess sometimes you CAN knock the hustle.

It might be funny, but in the end is promoting a misogynist attitude. A lot of societal problems are twisted into how that society views women. These t-shirts only promote the attitude that women are commodity. I would be ashamed to have my brother, spouse, or significant other parading around the street with these shirts on. Why not start teaching young men to respect women at a young age, even if that means forbidding your son to wear these t-shirts. Why not become a man that a woman could be proud of?
That is true. I felt the same way when I saw girls walking around with shirts that said "slut" "tease" and "easy". Why not wear shirts that say "Queen" or "beautiful"?
