Apparently Estonians were quite the piratical villains. This makes me not only very happy, but now perfectly comfortable with the idea of buying Viking themed stuff.
Not that people would actually make such stuff in women's wear*. That would be far too, I don't know, non-gender-stereotyped. We must confirm to standard expectations, mustn't we? Boys can be interested in Vikings, girls can be interested in flowers.
If girls want to be interested in Vikings we will have to make them suitably girly. Maybe make them pink and put flowers in their hair, or something. If boys want to be interested in flowers, they can just go over and sit in the gay corner, thank you, and remove themselves from the regular male spectrum. It might otherwise damage the balance of the universe, if people don't sit neatly in their prescribed gender boxes.
Having said that, though, I like their flower design, too:
*Mind you, I still maintain that T-Shirts are, and always have been unisex. Except for women's specific T-Shirts which are terribly uncomfortable for anyone who has shoulders and likes moving his or her arms.
I liked your last paragraph :-)
