The Social Awkwardness of Wearing Tee Shirts

Women and girls have that occasional unfortunate experience of being seen wearing edgy clothing by an unintended audience.  Consider the level of discomfort that goes with being seen wearing a bikini or going braless and then encountering your clergyman, your professor, or (horrors of horrors!) your prissy aunt!  It makes you want to cover yourself with your arms due to newly-discovered modesty!  Fortunately, this awkward moment goes through by both through a combination of forebearance on the part of your unexpected viewer and your own sense that this too shall pass; but not soon enough!

Tee shirts are a different case: both men and women can experience those awkward moments of being seen in a tee shirt with some edgy comment.

This one is probably not the best one to wear when you visit your psychiatrist, or see the lady who helps you select bras:

Could this one draw sexual harassment from creeps and losers; or is it simply taken as a statement of opposition to war?

It is probably not a good idea to wear this one to a meeting of the Diversity Committee:

A surprising number of people don't get this one:

Pro Tip:  Don't wear this to your school homecoming!  Especially if you attended a girls' school.

You might have a very generous gardener neighbor, or a neurological condition:

You convince people that you have a real 'tude!

 Bilbo might appreciate this one:

Talk about sharing too much information!  Well, maybe some mothers might appreciate this kind of heads-up.

Even more so!  Most people are quite okay with the sexual behavior of unmarried adults; but prefer it not to be brought to the surface.  Unless they are celebrities, of course!
