You jumped to the defense, when you didn't need to protect her.
She was not just handed a random Tshirt she didn't know about and her and friends got caught in a photo shoot.... that's not what happend.

Even if everything you said was 100% correct, I would still think it was legitimately insane that it bothered you.  

Supporting women does not hurt men. 

First, I'll admit ignorance about where she wore that shirt before your response; still, some of that article comes off as reflexive hand-waving.  The reason JRPGFan's rebuttal feels largely correct is it's such an obvious play on words with regards to her job.  Let's say for the sake of argument that it breaks 50/50: she wore the shirt for this specific event while also admitting it corresponded to her general outlook on the franchise.  Cool.

Both in your response and some of the other posts since my first comment, it's genuinely baffling how some people are approaching this situation.  You understand the type of specialized fandom Star Wars has cultivated since its OG release, right?  If concepts like midi-chlorians can whip hardcore fans into paroxysms of rage, despite how well it thematically tracks with Episode I's exploration of symbiotic relationships, why do you think KK's stupid gender name-game would be ignored?
