I’m Margaret Mikkelsen, the new executive director of SAFER. I’ll be posting to our blog on a regular basis. If there’s something you’d like me to mention, drop me a line.

One of our site visitors brought something particularly reviling to my attention. Badmouthtees.com is selling t-shirts that read “It’s not rape, it’s just “surprise sex”.” Like I said, oh…my…god.

Where to begin? Well, with the PR departments of the companies that sell the owner the t-shirts he prints on, American Apparel, and Anvil. Their logos are displayed on his site. I spoke to people at both companies. They were shocked, of course, and promised to do something about it, but in the mean time, go ahead and write info@badmouthtees.com and tell him what you think.

We’ve been thinking about a t-shirt campaign of our own, so this is as good a time as any to ask for suggestions for messages. Have an idea? Send it to us at here.
