EXCLUSIVE COFFEE MUGS

FOR THE

OUTRAGED ACADEMIC

 

#FANCYACADEMIC

TRAVEL MUG*

$30

FOR US-ONLY RUSH CHRISTMAS SHIPPING THRU DEC. 15

PRICE WILL BE REDUCED AFTER DEC. 15 FOR REGULAR NON-RUSH ORDERS AND INTERNATIONAL ORDERS

This travel mug references the Twitter dispute between famed Cambridge Classicist and Historian Mary Beard and UKIP billionaire donor Arron Banks, who tried to mansplain to her that the Roman Empire fell because of immigration (conveniently for Brexit supporters seeking historical precedent).  No amount of Professor’s Beard’s decades of renowned erudition could dissuade him from his outdated views, based on vague memories from high school, which he insisted were just as valid as the learned opinions of a “fancy academic” such as herself. And thus #fancyacademic was born.

Now you can display your fancy academic credentials far and wide! Proceeds from the sale of this travel mug will go to the Berkshire Conference of Women Historians.

“HELLO MY NAME IS NASTY WOMAN, PH.D.”

LARGE COFFEE MUG**

$20

($30 for Canadian/International orders)

Details:  Cost covers mug plus shipping plus a buck or two toward Planned Parenthood and/or the ACLU

The amount of donation will vary based on the quantity you order: more mugs = reduced price of each mug and reduced relative shipping = higher donation. Also, please note that I, Karen, lose about $1 per each single mug order because of Paypal fees; I’ll make up the loss on orders of multiples.  If you can order multiples for yourself and a friend/friends, please do!  I just wanted to keep the price at $20.  So far, the sale of these mugs has raised well over $1000.

When you order, a TPII staffperson will make a custom order on Cafepress.com for the number of mugs you request, and have them sent to your address.  Shipping takes about 2 weeks. 

This is a large mug because we nasty women need a lot of coffee to keep bein’ so nasty. 

FYI I have adjusted the design so that the image is fully visible from the front when you are actually drinking from the mug (right handed).

**Designed by Professor Ann Abbott, of the Department of Spanish and Portuguese, University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign.

They look great and declare to the world that smart, capable women should feel no shame for being exactly who they are.”
