If hearing men call women “females” makes your head explode, you need this cute feminist shirt. Give misogynists a grammar lesson everywhere you go, the correct word to refer to a female adult human is woman. Featuring our original dictionary character illustration, this shirt lets everyone know that “female” is not a noun.

Why do women hate this grammar mistake so intensely? It's rarely a mistake, it's a subtle way of using language to dehumanize women by referring to us using a scientific term that reduces us to our anatomy. Female can refer to an animal, a plant, probably even a space alien, but it is an adjective and not a word you can use to replace a noun like girl or woman depending on the age of the female human you are referring to. If you're guilty of this grammar mistake, here's your sign to stop calling women females.

When I decided to create this design I asked other women around our office how they feel about being called “females,” and every woman's face immediately turned to a scowl. “I am not a science specimen!” declared one woman. “We know when men say that what they really mean to call us is bitches, that is a fighting word. They just think they will get away with it because it's not a curse word. We know what they mean.” said another. Every woman I asked in my social and professional life reacted the same way, not a single one said they didn't mind it. If you're a man reading this and looking to argue the point, you're already making the point for us by not listening to us when we say don't do it. Just take our word for it, female is not a noun.

Our fashion-forward ladies tees run small and are designed for a form fitting look, so be sure to check out our sizing chart below.

Sizing/Fit Guide:
Our womens tees run small and are designed for a form fitting look. We've provided measurements and an estimate of what dress size corresponds to each tee size below. Please note that the tee size to dress size estimate is based on a FORM FITTING look. If you do not want the tee to be form fitting order at least one size up or consider our unisex/mens tees, which have a relaxed fit and run larger.

Small: 16.5 inch width x 25 inch length (usually fits size 2-4 dress size)
Medium: 17.5 inch width x 26 inch length (usually fits size 6-8 dress size)
Large: 18.5 inch width x 27 inch length (usually fits size 10-12 dress size)
X-Large: 19.5 inch width x 28 inch length (usually fits size 14 dress size)
2X-Large: 20.5 inch width x 29 inch length (usually fits size 16 dress size)

Still not sure what size to order? We recommend measuring a shirt you have at home and comparing it to our product measurements. Lay your shirt on a flat surface and measure across the chest (below the arms) from side seam to side seam. That will give you the shirt's width and that measurement can be compared to the product measurements above.
