I'm looking for a source for feminist / girl power T-shirts. My intent is to get a few that I can wear to geeky events (PAX East in March in particular). I want to send messages such as "take me seriously regardless of my gender," "I'm an ally to the other women here," or "don't marginalize women in this field, we're here spending money too." I do not want to send messages like "women are better than men," "I want to rip off your balls," or "woe is me, I'm downtrodden." I will not buy iron-on quality (no CafePress). Bonus points for clever phrases, well-designed graphics, environmentally friendly, small businesses, and/or union/fair trade labor. I am willing to pay more for clever phrases and well-designed graphics.

Hook me up, folks! :)

Edit: Here's a couple links so I don't lose them.

How about something like this? http://www.thinkgeek.com/tshirts-apparel/womens/b3e7/ Or perhaps http://www.thinkgeek.com/tshirts-apparel/womens/e6cf/ There are a few other female-empowering ones on Thinkgeek, but some of them are female-empowering-at-the-expense-of-men.

I've found it hard to find stuff that doesn't look like it was designed when the HTML blink and marquee tags were in style, but I like some of the stuff here:

Some of that stuff does look good. Do you have experience buying from them?

I don't, unfortunately. (I started looking around not long ago, probably in response to some of the same stuff that's causing you to look - PA stuff - and I'm not buying clothes right now because I'm hugely pregnant. Or pregnantly huge. Maybe both.)

Some are good,others not so much (images of eyes over the boobs saying "now can you look me in the eyes"; images of dice on 20's over the boobs reading "yes these are natural"). So a definite maybe. Do you have experience purchasing from them and can you speak to their quality and/or reliability?

no, but i know the guy who runs it and i've generally found his shirts to be of decent quality, and more to the point, if you ask him he'll give you a straight answer.
