So, to be clear, unlike submitted link's teespring payment arrangements (100% of proceeds will be donated to Girls who Code), 100% of proceeds on your link will be going to your pocket. Not knocking on you, just making it clear you hold no affiliation to the 'Girls who Code' organization as well.

  Correct, there is no affiliation - I apologize if I caused any misunderstanding of that. Just trying to create a few laughs and lighten the mood of what was a pretty hectic day for a lot of people!

  <-- Downvote here and by all means, do not explain your sensitivities. Why should we care about donating money to Girls who Code? I'm not a girl and I don't see any reason why I should support them, particularly when the only time I hear anything about girls who code is when they're causing some drama. You know what girls who code should do? They should write code and be humble instead of forming a group called Girls Who Code in order to get attention and hand-outs. To be clear: I'd rather buy a shirt that makes fun of all the drama caused by girls who code and donate the money to Children Who Are Hungry.

    See you're one of those guys that's ruining it. It's just a cause, it's just a group of people with similar desires. It's no different than black entreprenuer clubs or jewish groups. They're not asking for a hand out they're just working together.

      Yeah, but I was responding to someone who was browbeating someone else because their tee-shirt didn't support Girls Who Code. I have no problem with the group itself, but if you start acting like people are bad if they don't support the group then I'm going to call it out.

    You know who the target of Girls who Code are? Girls. Actual girls. Not ``going to meet some girls''(women) girls. Children. Teenagers. Teenagers who, by culture, are reluctant to approach Computer Science and other technical fields. This education group is trying to reverse this trend. RTFWebsite next time.

      I did read the website. It had one sentence on it. "Dongle is a funny word. Buy this shirt and support women in tech. 100% of profits will be donated to Girls who Code." If you're targeting females, why post this to a site that is mostly comprised of men?

Just to be clear - Fork My Dongle has no affiliation with Girls Who Code either. We absolutely plan to donate 100% of the profits from this shirt campaign to them, though.
