PacSun: Pull Your Porn T-Shirts
We want PacSun, a California-based outdoor store, to discontinue its product line that uses pornographic photos of women on T-shirts. Tell PacSun to recall and discontinue their Visuals line of clothing. Now.
Why is this important?
Judy Cox, a mother in Utah, walked with her teenage son past a PacSun store in the mall that displayed in the front window T-shirts with near naked young women in hypersexualized poses. When the manager wouldn't remove them, Judy bought out the entire stock. I support that action, but Judy shouldn't have to pay $600 to keep pornography out of the mall.
PacSun has signed on to a social responsibility statement that says they don't support human rights violations or practice gender discrimination. But marketing products at teenaged boys that portray young women as primarily sexual playthings contributes to an unsafe environment for women and a climate of discrimination.
