Boys are stupid, throw rocks at them! Is a slogan on a T-shirt by Florida company David and Goliath. The slogan is printed next to a caricature of a boy running away from five stones thrown in his direction.

More than 300 publications in half a dozen countries have published articles on the issue. These included time, Forbes, The Washington Post and The Guardian in the UK [5].

The phrase may be a response, or the origin of the expression (or vice versa): I am a woman, watch me shop.

The T-shirt was designed by the founder Todd Goldman, who started David and Goliath in 1999 with "Boys are Smelly" T-shirts. It now includes a variety of clothing with slogans like "Boys tell lies, blow in their eyes!" Or "The stupid factory, where boys are made". "Boys are stupid ..." has evolved to become an object of success for the goods, which includes all types of clothing, mugs, key chains, posters and other items. In 2005, Goldman published a book bearing the same title (ISBN 0-7611-3593-6). In 2006, it has been translated and published in Russia [6].

Goldman argues that the campaign against his company boosted its sales. The Wall Street Journal, the sales volume of David and Goliath was expected to reach 100 million dollars in 2005, against U.S. $ 90 million the previous year.

Los Angeles based radio host Glenn Sacks masculist launched a campaign against the T-shirts in 2003. He said they were part of a general mood of society that stigmatizes and victimizes boys [7]. The company says that his shirts are designed solely to be humorous [8].

[9] Many critics of the T-shirts emphasized that similar slogans directed against girls or ethnic groups would be widely regarded as unacceptable. The Canadian Children's Rights Council called incitement to hatred slogan. [10] The campaign led to the removal of shirts by several retailers, including Bon-Macy's, and Claire, a total of more than 3,000 outlets. The slogan has also been criticized by Bernard Goldberg in his book, 100 People Who are screwed America, where Todd Goldman, shirts' creator, was listed as number 97.

In an article in the Daily Camera of Boulder, [11] later condemned by its editorial board [12], Linda Scott, a member of the faculty of the University of Illinois, expressed support for T-shirts to avenge the boys' bullying. The National Organization for Women (NOW) has dismissed the issue as unimportant and bags represented hypocritical, claiming that publishes anti-women views in his radio [13]. Helen Grieco, Executive Director of California NOW, Sacks describes as a "shock radio host Jock". She also stated: "[least now we] have no time for campaign T-shirt."
