All I can think about right now is the series the Plain Dealer (not to be self-serving here) is doing this week on the teenager who is is in a long battle of recovering from having half her face shot off by her "jealous" boyfriend. Too much of a reach to see a connection between the attitude on the Tshirt and the attitude that leads to violence against women? Maybe. But they sure as heck are on a continuum.

Yeah...Rodil wore that shirt two days straight. Not quite okay with it.
Roberto (another youth, one of the most motivated positive guys) has one that says: En mi casa mando yo
And on the back:
Y mi esposa quiere que lo diga a todo.
Or something like that.
Not sure which is worse.
btw, Roberto has no esposa or novia and I assured him if he kept wearing that shirt, he wouldn´t get one.
Wish that was true.
yikes.
