Agreed, and thanks for bringing up women's sizes. I wish tech companies (and especially tech conferences I PAY for) would realize that men's shirts are not unisex. They're for men. Whenever a women's option isn't available, it definitely feels unwelcoming.

Depends on your taste, I guess. I know a lot of women and men that wear the same model of unisex shirts.
Unisex cuts of t shirts do not look good on women. Women may wear them, but they are not flattering. Turns out that American Apparel has a girly cut shirt with shorter sleeves that is more fitted through the trunk.
And I add:
8. Pony up for a not-white shirt.
Fair enough, but even a men's small is too big for me - so it's not even really an option to wear it. Considering I'm a very standard size for a woman, it's hard to feel like the people behind the shirts are considering my gender. Taste is a secondary concern here.
