Teed Off Over T Shirts

Are girls picking on boys? Since December, radio talk-show host and men's-rights activist Glenn Sacks has rallied followers to target a division of the David & Goliath line of clothing, which Sacks claims is antiboy. One T shirt features a cartoon image of a boy running from flying rocks, with text that reads, "Boys are stupid, throw rocks at them!" Some stores, including Bon-Macy's, have pulled the shirts. "They are part of a larger trend of male and father bashing," says Sacks. "Stopping the sale of these shirts is an initial blow to the boy-bashing culture." David & Goliath president Todd Goldman says the shirts are meant to be fun. "[The cartoon boy] is just like Charlie Brown," he says. "Remember how Lucy used to torment him with the football?"
