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.

I don’t get it. What’s wrong with them?
Does target sell PJs that include a face burka? We must cater to all sensitivies you know.
I think they are cute PJs.
Ebola,ISIS,and swarms of immigrant children and THIS is a problem?
People have to lighten up.
.
A burqa with footies that says,
“I only date beheaders.”?
Because “Future Person of Steel” would be so cute. :/
This is the same type of leftist who is all for teaching “how to” sex ed including all kinds of perverse practices to 4th graders.
Logic, reason, and consistency aren’t their strong suits. Only emotion, and mostly only the bad ones such as envy, jealousy, and the like.
I quit shopping at Target when the company issued a statement celebrating sodomy.
How do stories like this make into the newspaper. Who cares what this professor thinks?
Just think of the reaction!
+1
Ughhhhhhh!
And if you put that pink one on a little boy, those same crybabies will find it completely ok.
if someone thinks they are sexist, just don’t buy them! sheesh... personally, i never purchased clothing for my sons that had messages on them... i do not like them, so i do not buy them... it isn’t difficult...
It’s the whiners who sit at home drinking hot chocolate crying over the decline of civilization. Or, they’re angry because Canada doesn’t have comic book hero’s other than Renfrew of the Royal Mounted Police a sexist boy hero. Oh, I forgot Red Panda Roach and Rocket Robin to name a few.
Wolverine is Canadian....
I am frequently amazed at what liberals find offensive/disturbing/sexist/racist, etc.
Yeah, him too. But other than say him, who else. I wonder what would have happened if the boy’s PJ said Hero Wolverine? And the girl’s said “I Only Date The Wolverine” or something.
All of Alpha Flight is Canadian. Sabretooth is Canadian.
Even the vaunted Scott Pilgrim :).
