These Sexist Superhero T-Shirts Are Causing Controvery [PICTURES]

Blogger PJ Curtis (who is a woman) brought up a point I probably would have overlooked at first glance. These superhero shirts which are featured at numerous stores including Walmart are causing a stink to some people. Or are the overreacting? You decide.

The idea that you should settle for being married to or sleeping with someone awesome instead of being the awesome person is insulting. This just happens to be aimed at a young girl. I resent the idea that she should “train” to be so Batman’s wife.”

According to Yahoo:

Last year, an “Avengers” shirt for boys declared, ”Be A Hero,” while the shirt for girls said, ”I Need A Hero.” And superhero consumer products for women aren’t the only ones to belittle women. In 2011, JCPenny pulled a shirt from shelves that read, “I’m too pretty to do homework so my brother has to do it for me.”

 

What do you think?

People are saying this is sexist and that why do women have to dating the 'superhero' all the time. Agree? pic.twitter.com/bpv6Z8hJl0
