I still don't understand, I guess. The original quote was a "wife beater shirt". Are you saying that it was actually "white beater shirt"? Or are you saying that it's easier to beat your wife if your t-shirt is sleeveless?

I can't imagine using this phrase.

Chuck
I am saying, without taking a stance by the way, is that they call the white sleeveless t-shirts, wife beater shirts based on the stereotype that men who wear those as outergarments are more likely to beat their wives. Watch an episode of COPS and you'll see where the stereotype comes from.
