It's art. The shirt was also made by a woman, for what it's worth.

Nude paintings are also art, but if you hang a couple in your office, you'll have a lawsuit waiting to happen.

Really? I would fight that lawsuit tooth and nail. Neo-puritanism makes my blood boil.

That is also one kind of lawsuit where your personal assets will be on the line if you lose.

Regardless of what you think of Puritanism, don't sexualize the workplace.

Nabokov's Lolita is also art. Lester the molester is also art. Invalid argument.
