[Ubuntu-US-CA] the shirts

[ZeromusMog]

It's less about "reverse sexism" (really?) and more that looking good
in a Linux shirt is hard enough, at least with a babydoll cut or
something similar it can go with an outfit. It'd actually be quite an
amazing feeling to be able to get a conference/logo shirt for once in
a flattering cut rather than being forced to wear a baggy, shapeless
t-shirt since all that's left by the time you get there is XXL.

Of course, those of us that want it realize we're in a bit of a
minority and are going against the whole bulk order thing, as such I'd
be more than happy to pre order mine.

When it comes down to it, its just more work to make a separate order for women's cuts. Yes, they would be more fashionable for women, but a plain t-shirt works just as well. In fact, one could say that ordering a "women's cut" is reverse sexism. Why not order a men's only cut?

Our main concern should be getting t-shirts with a logo on it. Not t-shirts that are specifically made for one gender versus the other.
