The shirt on it's own is fine. It's a nice shirt. I too know women who wear 
the I *heart* my geek/nerd T-shirt, but I don't think that's the same thing 
at all.

"I *heart* my geek" is an expression of "I love the person in my life who 
happens to be one of those people who might look out of place in a social 
situation, or might talk about computers a little too much, but I love that 
person anyway". It doesn't say HE or SHE at all.

The "Linux for Ladies" is (IMO) not far from the "Linux for people who like 
kittens and knitting" t-shirt.

It's all down to interpretation of course :)

Cheers,
Al.
