Dude reread the shirt. It doesn't make any broad generalizations. A woman. A man. A fish. A bicycle. It doesn't say all women can live without all men. You're projecting.
What's wrong with a single woman living life without a male partner? Nothing. That's what the shirt is saying. Your response is exactly why people feel it needs to be said.
Ah interesting. You're arguing there is only one way to interpret art. I disagree. How about a bicycle is a completely unnecessary burden for a fish and cannot under any circumstances benefit a fish?
Secondly, I doubt most would agree with that interpretation of sayings in general.
You know that old "Give a man a fish...Teach a man to fish..." saying. You think that's applying only to one particular man? That's nonsense.
