It's less about "reverse sexism" (really?) and more that looking good in a Linux shirt is hard enough, at least with a babydoll cut or something similar it can go with an outfit. It'd actually be quite an amazing feeling to be able to get a conference/logo shirt for once in a flattering cut rather than being forced to wear a baggy, shapeless t-shirt since all that's left by the time you get there is XXL.
Of course, those of us that want it realize we're in a bit of a minority and are going against the whole bulk order thing, as such I'd be more than happy to pre order mine.
