This review is in response to a previous review which said this shirt is sexist. I believe they failed to notice the little pink ribbon at the end of the "She''s tougher" statement and therefore, misunderstood the meaning of this shirt. The point of saying "She''s tougher" was not to say that men are not strong, but to emphasize the strength of women who have suffered from breast cancer. Although breast cancer can effect men as well, it is primarily a disease that affects women. I believe this shirt is for men who support those women who fight against breast cancer. The "Tough enough to wear pink" applies to the fact that it is October the month for cancer awareness in which wearing pink is a sign of support. Many men would not wear pink because of the gender stereotypes attached to the color, but to wear pink is to show support. This shirt is actually emphasizing the strength of both the supportive man, and the cancer fighting woman. Neither gender is put down by this.

These shirts are about men and their willingness not to allow sexual stereotyping interfere with what they wear. What they are not are shirts which say "She''s Tougher" even though those words appear in tiny print.Amazon sells shirts with such misandrist comments without thinking twice about their inherent sexism. Can you imagine Amazon selling a shirt which said, ''Smart enough to take a math class, but he''s smarter''. Neither can I because that would be considered sexist.
