Poll: Does The Term “Wife Beater Tank-Top” Offend You?
A couple weeks ago we did a post on this awesome, but expensive tank-top/garter combo from Kiki De Montparnasse—because the tank was the kind with the ribbing, I used what I thought was the most common term for the tank itself. A wife beater. Last night, I got an email from a reader which read:
There is absolutely no reason for a website for ladies to be using “wife beater” as fun slang! Ladies in the know also call them boy beaters—I don’t appreciate that either but take note of the language you use and accept. It influences our culture!
