Not to detract from the purpose of the post, but am I allowed to love geometry but hate algebra?
Because I want to do that.

Iâve always been terrible at algebra, but I got a B in geometry without even trying!
Is it possible to point out sexism without implying that it is somehow the responsibility of âmassive retail chainsâ to help raise our kids? I think it is.
in the t-shirt industry thereâs not much marketing research going on, it comes down to âwhat has sold well in the pastâ there were a series of other designs that led up to this one in a strange evolution of bad design

But doesnât âwhat has sold well in the pastâ at least imply a minimum amount of research?
i feel like the term âresearchâ implies something more intelligent than how apparel companies operate, lol
i guess technically there is a level of research and information going on, but its not formalized in any sort of official way, its not like with movies where they might test the shirts on audiences or anything
the artists, creative directors, and buyers are operating on wild hunches more than anything else
Someone should introduce them to my daughter who is a solid 2 grade levels ahead in math.

Some of the posts above are a little judgmental when it comes to people who arenât good at math.
Iâm defending my PhD in applied math next week, but that attitude actually really rubs me the wrong way. There are many kinds of intelligence out thereâŚ
I think the word youâre looking for is âdisingenuous driving trollies.â

They have pulled the shirt it seems - that one anyway. The horrible stereotyping of shirts for girls (All about glitter) and boys (super hero) still remain.

I think dance can also be classified as motion studies.
This sort of thing isnât new to TCP. Their shirts with logos often have pithy, vapid statements about being pretty or awesome. My daughter, 9, loves science, is ambivalent about math but despises âgirly marketingâ and sees right through the sparkly trap they are trying to pigeon hole young ladies in.

This might explain why I recently saw a guy in China wearing a T-shirt that said, âkeep calm and fuck British boysâ. It did seem like an odd twist on the general theme at the time.
