In fact, it's an informal fallacy.

No wonder you're not so good at math; Your logic sucks.
Remember your phrase about reading is fundamental? I had cited a scientific study in my previous post. That was the scientific claim. That alone didn't convince the reader, so I added anecdotal evidence, which sometimes convinces people not impressed with scientific data.

But please, continue your little logical fallacy spree and your condescending insults. I'm sure its really delightful for the other users to read and not annoying at all.

funny how you ignore people pointing out that all t-shirts are unisex. you can't whine when that is the case.

no. when you string words and symbols together they actually mean something, unless you're like 2 weeks old.

It is a fact that boys tend to outperform girls in math.

Besides - women have been shopping for ages:

She considers a field and buys it, out of her earnings she plants a vineyard.
- Proverbs 31:16

However, the company can do what it wishes, and if it feels that keeping the shirt out there is unprofitable, than that is a business decision that they should make without reservations.

Hopefully they weren't coerced into doing this by the left-wing nut feminists.

Did you read the article and see the t-shirt? It's clearly designed specifically for girls

no. the words mean nothing, unless all women are totally insecure. obviously all liberal women are insecure, but I have hope for non liberals.

I saw the shirt. looks no different than other shirts I see on young boys. when you promote androgyny, don't be surprised when you get no sympathy from me.

I hope you don't take your boys wearing purple shirts with hearts on them to Wal-Mart.

why? do you think they'll get accosted by a fictional redneck? not worried about that, since I live in reality and all. I only go to walmart when there is no other option, which is rarely, and I don't have any boys.
