Women’s clothing brand Anthropologie posted an ad Thursday featuring a male model clad in dresses to its Instagram account.
The company ended up disabling the comment section for the post after its customers slammed the brand, vowing to never purchase Anthropologie products again.
“To quote @theharperwatters, ‘Never anthro-pologize for being fabulous! Loving these #UnexpectedAndUnforgettable looks.’ (Obviously, we couldn’t agree more!) Twirl to the link in bio to shop bold, beautiful dresses for every solo,” the brand said in the post’s caption.
The ad featured male model Harper Watters twirling in dresses.
Anthropologie customers took to the comment section to inform the women’s clothing brand that they are not interested in seeing men dance in dresses.
The company then disabled comments for the post, so customers took to the comment sections of other posts to continue slamming the brand.
“Seriously? I don’t want to see a man’s bulge as he’s twirling in a dress,” one Instagram user wrote. “This is not the way to go Anthropologie. Looks like my recent purchases are going back to the store.”
“Later Antho. You should’ve learned from Budweiser,” another commented.
“Taking bets on how many times [Anthropologie] can silence women in one evening… First with the ad, and next disabling comments,” another said. “You may not hear us, but we’ve certainly gotten your message loud and clear.”
“A man wearing a dress and modeling your brand is a mockery to women,” another Instagram user stated.
“So you hired the patriarchy to sell women’s clothing then turned the comments off when we all weren’t jumping up and down in pigtails like Dylan Mulvaney over it?” another wrote. “ITS DONE. STOP ERASING WOMEN. Fire the director and marketing team. Save yourselves.”

When people think idiocy is cutting edge intelligence...
I think we need to point out every bspusimess that does this is actually encouraging people to remain mentally ill. They are exploiting the mentally ill for profits and societal woke cred.
Another way to say it, they are no better than the fashion companies that used and exploited anorexic/bulimic models for their brands.
These people are using and exploiting mentally ill people to peddle their crap. Businesses actually don’t care about people, they exist to sell things and make money.
By now, companies know trannies are pretty much the kiss of death to a product advertizing. Big question, who is forcing them to do it?
They will be gone as they piss off their base.
You’d think they would learn from the example of the Gay Buds. Nope. ‘Hold my beer!’ .....
Seriously. when is this lunacy going to stop?
Laughing like Snerdley (the dog). With the churches going Woke, it is up to the radical feminists to save us. Go, TERFs.
No more Anthropology clothes for me.
They are silencing women.
Their clothes used to be very feminine...I agree that the people who voted yes on this tragic and disgusting decision must be fired.
It will stop when the true believers stop believing that a faithful implementation of their ideas doesn’t work. So far the message does not seem to have arrived.
Lord, please don’t let Carhartt go woke or I’ll have to start making my own clothes!
They will never say it but they do have it pre-written into their name
A-POLOGY
Is he a trans? How many feminine men are out there, for goodness’ sake. If they are a teensy part of the population, why does every company have to use one in their ads and upset their target customers? None of this seems rational.
I just saw the “male model” part so being a red-blooded woman I clicked the link and wished I hadn’t.
Never heard of this clothing brand so one less thing I have to boycott 😀!!
It’s amazing watching these major brands all step on their collective d!cks.
Who wants to go try on clothes in Anthropologie, knowing that a man might have perspired in it before, or that a man with a penis might be in the dressing room with you, competing for the three-way (you should excuse the expression) mirror?
