He wore wore a stupid looking shirt, yeah it was sexist -- an American version of a Hawiian shirt with 'hula girls' on it. A number of men are putting on something worse very day. No it doesn't please me.

I blame the Internet assholes who told a woman who critized the shirt that she should kill herself-- among other things. Internet harassment is far too common-- this guy got caught in the crossfire.
