Er... I can understand offensive (I don't agree, but I can understand), but I don't understand how they were discriminatory. The only people in my house that like to wear Boxers are my two daughters. I'm a tighty whitey person myself. Most of my daughters female friends claim to prefer boxers too. Maybe it's just local to SJ. Owen
