PITTSBURGH - A remarkable story unfolded in this community this month, with implications far deeper than even the brave principals in the event realized. It was the successful "girlcott" of offensive Abercrombie & Fitch T-shirts mounted by a group of young women who showed more character, more intelligence and ultimately more ingenuity than the apparel manufacturer.

These protesters, part of the Women's & Girls Foundation of Southwest Pennsylvania, took their indignation to the public, and before a week was out they took it nationally. It's important to remember that this is not your father's Abercrombie, which created the sort of buttoned-down fashions you might have seen amid the raccoon coats and the tailgate boola-boola of the Yale-Princeton game in the Coolidge years and then, hours later, in evening wear under the Biltmore clock. This is your twisted sister's Abercrombie, which once produced thong underwear in children's sizes.
