Swag-for-dev: We dont have enough women's swag.

[jayzalowitz]

This is more of a comment to remind people submitting pull requests that they should totally consider buying women's sizes when doing swag.

Also, get creative.

The socks, hoodies, t-shirts, and stickers in this list are unisex. Don't create problems where they don't exist to pat yourself on the back.

As far as I can remember, Hacktoberfest asks for men/women sizes. And others seem to be unisex. Like @alexknuckles says, just trying to pat yourself on the back?

@alexknuckles, didn't realize that was the case, my bad. Just have a lot of friends who have a very big issue with them never getting swag so was trying to help. Perhaps clearly label as unisex?

The point of this issue was to point out to the companies that they often end up going to vendors and the vendors standard size layout makes it so that you end up with large + sizes even in unisex, when often those at small or medium run out. Im not trying to criticise everyone, its just sometimes the norm isn't the right choice.

Unisex T-shirts are basically "shirts that fit guys and so we also give them to girls." "Unisex" and "Mens" shirts are literally the exact same pattern.

I don't know if this is a specific event we are referring to, but broadly speaking, this is a problem.

This project's only aim is to compile swag opportunities for developers. It has no mention of gender. This is not the place to have this discussion.

If you have an issue with the free products the companies are offering, you should bring it up to them not to a group that has no choice in the matter.

Can we close this thread? I feel like it's going to become a political argument very soon.
