I'm sure there are many icons out there that symbolise choice that aren't as offensive as a coat hanger. It's in very poor taste IMO.

I honestly don't find that coathanger offensive, to be honest, although I would be a little concerned about walking down the street, wearing it around my neck. People are likely see it and know immediately what it means. Not sure if I would do that, but as something to keep at home, sure. I'd buy one.
