Sexist Shirts

I love geeky shirts.
Element of Surprise
And Think Geek has the largest selection of geeky Tshirts.
Now, that part, makes me happy.
What makes me sad is this:
Think Geek is sexist.
They don't have, for example, the Ferrous Wheel Tshirt in the "women's Tshirts".  Evidently, women aren't chemists in the minds of Think Geek overlords.
Ferrous Wheel
Nor do they have the Resistance Tshirt in women's cut.  Evidently, women aren't physicists or Star Trek fans in the minds of Think Geek overlords.
resistance is futile

In fact, there are only 110 geeky Tshirts for women, but they have 227 Tshirts for men.  If anything, the women's shirts offerings should be MORE than the men's because they offer sleep shirts and maternity- neither of which apply to men.

It's just pretty irritating that these subliminal gender roles are continuing to be reinforced by retailers.
