Just found out they make a child's NO MA'AM shirt. That would be a good way to get your kid suspended.

I think it would because people wouldn'd get the joke/reference.
(I didn`t because i never watched it). problems is more with the female sign with the Forbidden sign over it.

Of course it would lead to problems. Very few people today know how to take a joke. The majority of people are too damn sensitive and cry over every little thing. George Carlin from the 70s says hi. Also look up Richard Pryor for the fun of it.

One of my buddies who wrestles got some No Ma'am inspired gear for the joke of it all. We all got the reference so it worked. In the wrong crowd though it would turn him in a huge heel pretty quickly.

Technically speaking, it now falls under The Disney umbrella since they bought fox. Maybe they’ll be selling them next to the mouse ears.

I wear mine proudly. My wife got it for me. If people get offended, oh well.

If you had no idea what it meant it just looks like someone saying no to a woman. There’s nothing wrong with that. If they got the reference they were probably a fan of the show too and they might laugh. I don’t think it’s a big deal.

If you can handle the looks and some questions, have at it. Just be aware of the impression you're setting while wearing it, as Married With Children has been out of public mind for decades, and the shirt looks REALLY questionable without knowing the satire. Can't blame people for thinking the worst. The usual suspects might find it to be #problematic, but they were too young to have seen the show anyhow.

Real talk for a moment: If someone IS offended by the shirt, just explain the joke to them, and tell them it's a Married With Children reference.
But don't try to purposely "trigger" or shock and offend people by wearing it. That's just acting like a jerk.

In my area a NO MAAM shirt was cause way less issues than any of my Bad Religion shirts.
Back in 97 I got online and found out that Bob Rooney had set up a site were you could start a chapter of NO MAAM for your town. I started one for Port Arthur TX and with my membership dues got a shirt. Ended up losing it in a move.

I would wear it in public, just letting you know, but if I were to cause an outcry on how misogynist that shirt presents itself, there is an alternative option.

More confusion than ire probably given that the show went off the air twenty years ago and the No Ma'am thing didn't even have much pop culture saturation in its heyday. Your average person is gonna know Al Bundy, but you'd have to explain the No Ma'am thing to the vast majority of people.
That said, I own an SCLSU Mud Dogs tshirt, so I'm not gonna knock someone else's obscure pop culture wardrobe.

Why would you purposely want to "trigger" someone, anyway? That's my biggest takeaway from this thread. Can someone explain that to me?
