If "Bite Me" T-Shirt was offensive, how about this one...

Whether one finds that offensive is really a matter of attitude and
perspective, and it could be argued that it is a joke that will not be
seen in use, except by the wearer. It merely reflects social norms and
perceptions. Unfortunate though many of these may be.

If the underwear were designed.....and sized.....for adults, what you say
would be true and unarguable. In this case, yes, someone COULD argue that
it's a joke. Try telling jokes concerning adolscent girls in a similar vein
at the next party you attend. Then come back and offer insights on social
norms.

On another note, could you ( or anybody) please explain why "bite me"
is considered offensive? I thought it was just some sort of throwaway
phrase, but obviously it is more than that.

It's generally considered to be a variation on "blow me," which I will
assume requires no further explanation.

I don´t do jokes at parties any more, but thanks anyway Grandma.
