I like the slogan--I think it's cute and I like CUTE...kind of taking the negative out of the saying for me. I do not find it insulting or demeaning.

I like my Harlot t-shirt
It has the same message without being cute.I haven't worn anything cute since fourth grade.
From the Harlot homepage:
The reclaiming of a derogatory word
Language is a funny thing. Words can have multiple meanings and change over time. "Awful" used to mean awe-inspiring, and "artificial" used to mean artistic. (Not to mention silly linguistics such as "phat".) If you don't like a word's meaning, change it!
That's what were trying to do with Harlot. There is something to be said for labeling yourself before someone else does it for you. If a bunch of us start calling ourselves harlots, and we are all smart, self-reliant, independent women, then the word starts to be associated with strong women rather than loose women. (Not that there is anything wrong with being loose!) Over time, any derogatory power that word had is removed. Don't you think we owe it to our foremothers of the bicycle who endured name-calling and ridicule just so we can all ride our bikes to make that happen?Last edited by Zen; 09-01-2008 at 08:19 AM.

Guess I didn't see the RLAG line had anything to do with the old way of thinking of tomboy vs. more feminine ways.
I seriously never distinguished between tomboyish girls and all other girls when growing up. Just saw the more athletic girls having a great skill that other girls didn't have but then the "other" girls had other stronger skills.
You know, growing up with 4 sisters who were all polite but abit driven in what we liked to do and nuts, where we argued ferociously with one another..it would be an enormousl protest/struggle if any of us claimed 1-2 of us were more tomboy than the other.
So the RLAG line is..just a fun line for outside of work.
