I saw a girl wearing a t-shirt that said "We get it up right", or similar, with a picture of a coke bottle and two pom-poms on either side of it. It was a Mount Holyoke Cheerleading t-shirt, and it made me so sick, I wanted to throw up all over that girl.

It makes me glad to know that all that exercising and gymnastics is being used merely to 'get it up' for football players and the male audience of the game. Way to go, girls. Really.

And way to go, Mount Holyoke! How's that for teaching women to respect themselves!

It's really funny, considering how dyked-out Mt. Holyoke is. My best friend went there--it was so much fun to visit her. Whee!

I still have to order one of their fencing shirts "Beat me, bind me--just don't touch me!" with a picture of a girl in leather carrying a foil.

Oh wait, no--the fencing shirt is from Smith. Oops. But anyway, I never noticed a lot of male-centered language or gazing or, well, interaction, at Mt. Holyoke. (for one thing, there are no "freshmen/women"--there are only "firsties")

That cheerleading shirt is just a big lesbian tease.

I was thinking the same thing. My best friend from high school went there and if anything, it's so anti-male gratification it would put NOW to shame.

I'm sure it wasn't what it seemed.

...I can only guess the shirt must be tongue in cheek. Do they even have cheerleading at Holyoke? Why would they? We didn't have it at Wellesley. x_x If there is cheerleading, they'd be cheering for a heavily lesbian rugby team or similar.

I was just going to mention my feminista encounters at Mount Holyoke, but then I figured, perhaps it was a Mount Holyoke High School shirt; IIRC there are a few in the NE area. But I like the femmey cheerleader tease idea better.

Er, is it bad, then, that I find that shirt funny? Since I'm a total perv, I like shirts with "dirtiness," age of the wearer aside.

Plus, I own a shirt that has a pic of a convenience store and a logo that says "open 24 hours/day" and another with the "how many licks does it take?" owl and slogan on it from Tootsie Rolls. I think they're funny. *hides from Liz*
