Heh. I've been defending my right for penis jokes those last three days, but in that case I'll totally agree (and my sword is yours).

The right for our "penis jokes" also entitles us to a moral responsibility: be "a bit" sure we can make these jokes to our audience (though I admit I don't check/care for people around whose ears have long reach, but this is another debate), which is why you ought to be a little self-conscious of what you are wearing.

On the other hand, this makes me cringe a bit... I bought this hoodie that says "Cool story bro" (obvious reference to the meme), what if I stumble upon persons who will understand this as me "perpetuating the testosterone bro-culture that is driving women away from tech"?

If we start drawing the line somewhere, how do we know someone else didn't draw it earlier or later to ours?
