The comments to our last post saying "she got destroyed on twitter" (she's left btw) are shameful tbh. Talk about misplaced rage - why is sexism in stores so acceptable?

Here's the marvellous Katy Guest writing in the Independent.

"On Friday morning, I went to my local M&S and expanded some of their ranges for them. Unfortunately, there were no dinosaur T-shirts in stock, but I did find some brilliant tops marked “bug expert” in the “boys” section, and moved half of them in...to “girls”. In return, I moved some sparkly crop tops marked “play it cool” into the “boys” aisle. I also liberated Hello Kitty from her pink ghetto for a house swap with Thomas the Tank Engine, and reunited Peppa Pig and her brother George. Hey presto: now the ranges are accessible to all children and include products “for girls”.I told Marks & Spencer’s corporate press office about my genius solution, and they replied: “… we offer a wide choice in a range of styles and colours… our store layouts reflect the way our customers like to shop….” If you disagree, join me in setting free some dinosaurs. In the meantime, you’re welcome, Mr Bolland. I’ll take my bonus in cash, not share.”

Ok... the original post was deleted, and after the author recieved thousands of negative comments and messages (plus a lot of bad press for you know, expressing a well thought out opinion on her own Facebook page), who can blame her (I won't mention her name) - but I want to stand by everything that she said, every word of it and ask that you email Asda via the link in comments.

"Boys will be boys" isn't a random set of words, it isn't meant as a positive remark about childre...n and when you look at the bigger picture - it's not amusing either. So yes, IT DOES NOT BELONG ON A CHILD'S TOP.
