A "wife beater" is a slang term used in the United States to refer to a type of sleeveless shirt, typically white, with a ribbed texture. Officially known as an A-shirt or tank top, this garment has been colloquially labeled with this term due to various cultural associations:

- **Cultural Stereotype:** The term stems from stereotypes often depicted in media where characters portrayed as rough or abusive, particularly in movies and TV shows like "A Streetcar Named Desire" where Marlon Brando's character, Stanley Kowalski, was seen wearing such a shirt while displaying violent behavior.

- **Historical Anecdotes:** One popular but unsubstantiated story links the term to a 1947 case in Detroit where a man was arrested for beating his wife to death, with newspapers allegedly showing him in a stained undershirt. However, no definitive evidence supports this specific origin.

- **Public Perception and Criticism:** The use of "wife beater" has been criticized for trivializing domestic violence and perpetuating negative stereotypes. There's a movement, particularly among younger generations and on platforms like TikTok, to rebrand or avoid using the term, with alternatives like "wife pleaser" or simply "tank top" or "A-shirt" suggested to dissociate the clothing item from its negative connotations.

- **Fashion and Identity:** Despite the controversial name, this style of shirt has been adopted across various social groups for comfort and fashion, often seen in summer wear or as an undershirt. Its association with different subcultures, including rap, gay, and gang communities in the '90s, further cemented its place in fashion vernacular, though often under the problematic name.

The term is seen as politically incorrect today due to its association with domestic violence. Information on the web and discussions on X indicate a growing consciousness about the implications of using this term, advocating for a more sensitive language choice.
