Children's Place Bans "Sexist" Shirt (television, own, business)

[Delahanty]

Apparently, the tee that reads, "Boys are smelly" is acceptable.

That shirt is horrible. Glad they listened to their consumers in our free market system and pulled it voluntarily from the shelves.

I wonder who thought that shirt would be a good idea???

And anyone offended by a tshirt like this should be involuntarily removed society. Get a life.

Were people offended by Cyndi Lauper's song in the 80's "Girls just wanna have fun"? The tshirt is implying the same thing. Its a cute little tshirt for girls...if you dont like it dont buy it.

What is wrong with the shirt?

Holy crap what an idiotic shirt. Wasn't there a Barbie item several years ago that said something like, "Math is hard!"

It is - for girls.

Girls' mathematics performance more likely to suffer than boys' as a result of mathematics anxiety

You should market a shirt that says "Girls are bad at math." Then everyone will know how the world works, because Harrier told them so.

Ah, but who would buy it?

See, that is what some people are missing here.

Children's Place didn't pull the shirt because a bunch of politically correct liberal whiners were offended and they certainly weren't admitting that they made a mistake.

They pulled the shirt because it was made clear that very few of the shirts would be sold.

It was purely a business decision, and a smart one as well.

Umm, every decision a business makes is, by definition, a business decision. So why would very few of the shirts be sold? I'm looking forward to your answer on that one.
