Young girls may be discarding their princess wands for superhero capes this Halloween, but not so in the canine world.
The glass ceiling appears to be firmly in place at PetSmart, where career costumes labeled male include firefighter and police officer, while female dogs can choose between a pink cowgirl costume and pink loofah.
It seems silly on the surface, but this is part of a larger message were sending, that there are certain jobs for men, and certain jobs for women, said Scott Lawrie, 36, who co-hosts a podcast, She will not be ignored, about gender issues. The career options for women and dogs need to go beyond pink loofahs and pink cowgirls.

There is no "glass ceilings" for dogs, people. They don't have career options, it's a dog. This isn't a satire article. The author is serious as a heart attack.

Love the comments. Not a hand-wringing SJW among the commenters, at least not yet.

It seems silly on the surface..." and in the middle, and all the way to the bottom.
Seriously - this is what passes for rational thought in the modern age?? Is it that hard out there to get a real job, that it's actually more lucrative to sit around and just make up things to bitch about?

Sounds like someone is being a bitch.

I do not have a dog. If I had a dog, he wouldn’t have a Halloween costume. If I did have a dog and he had a Halloween costume, I wouldn’t give a remote ripe rodent’s rectum if some idiot, navel-gazing, paper-bag-breathing liberal dumbass San Francisco columnist considered it “sexist”. Quote me.

I declare a fatwa on the racist, anti-white, America-hating piece of sh|t 3rd-worlder who excreted this article.
She needs to go back to her armpit of a country and leave the driving to the grown ups.
For real: the more we tolerate her kind, the more our culture resembles the DMV.

“The career options.....for dogs”
Our Second Brother dog wanted to be a brain surgeon, but he kept dropping the scalpel.
He doesn’t have thumbs.

The career options for women and dogs need to go beyond pink loofahs and pink cowgirls. I agree. Where are the pink aprons?

The career options for women and dogs need to go beyond pink loofahs and pink cowgirls. But pink vagina costumes get a pass, right?

We don’t do Halloween, but if we did...both my cats have built-in black burglar masks. So they would be cat burglars! I reckon those could be male OR female. As for this article, it is fit to line a cat litter box, but little else.

animals are very clear on who is male and who is female
unfortunately some human animals are confused on that issue
