Target Canada is accused of selling pajamas that are sexist and sexualize baby girls.
In a tweet, Aimee Morrison, an associate professor of English at the University of Waterloo in Ontario, posted a photo of girl PJs next to a similar design for boys.
The girls' pajamas say, "I only date heroes."
The boys' pajamas read, "Future man of steel."
Morrison called on her Twitter followers to retweet the "sexist set of baby jammies."
In an interview Tuesday, Morrison said it's been shared hundreds of times and the overwhelming response has been people questioning why DC Comics or Target would think the girl PJs are OK.
The idea boys can be heroes and girls can only date them is just part of the problem, she says.

Why have we not heard of these hero’s? Right now I’m trying to decide what wine goes with Oreo cookies.
....and proclaimed the stores anti-second amendment zones.
I dont get it. Whats wrong with them?
I imagine if the girl’s outfit said I Only Date Wife Beaters then it would be okay.
Much "news" is now culled from Facebook, Twitter, and Youtube. Such is journalism these days.
Captain Canuck predates Alpha Flight.
So with all those Canadian hero’s why the PJ’s from the US???

Superman Renounces U.S. Citizenship in Action Comics #900
Yeah, sad isn’t it?
Hollywood puts foreign receipts over domestic box-office now.
The reboot of Superman had the same “Truth, justice, and ‘that other stuff’” line. Captain America was sold as The First Avenger in foreign markets.
Anti-Americanism is big (Michael Moore’s foreign editions of dvds and books were largely “red white and blue” covered) and Hollywood helped elect our first anti-American president. He won his Grammy in 2006. The fix was long in.
Yeah, the stuff that comes out of Hollyweird is just junk.
