The Children's Place Sexist T-Shirts: Apparel Says Girls Can't Do Math, Causes Outrage [PHOTO]

New T-shirts sold by The Children’s Place were made to apparently capture girls real interests. However, the T-shirts result to be sexist remark through fashion for children. According to one of the designs, a young girls best subjects in school are “shopping, music, and dancing” but certainly not math because according to The Children’s Place “nobody’s perfect.” Another T-shirt that has come under fire is one that reads “Born to wear Diamonds,” demeaning young girls into believing that they are only fit to be someone’s wife.

And while at first glance the t-shirts may be considered cute, they are anything but. The T-shirts that are only a small example of the subliminal messages directed at young girls, state that they are good at being cute and wearing jewelry, but they are not intelligent because “nobody’s perfect.”

Laura Beck of Jezebel noted that the sexist T-shirts seemed even more demeaning when compared to the boy’s T-shirt options. The boys shirts displayed pictures of surfers, drums, and depicted young boys as superheroes. While the boys shirts promote activities, being musically talented and aspiring for dreams, girls are viewed as being attracted to diamonds and sparkles.

It seems that for young girls it is fashionable to be dumb, it is fashionable to be someone’s significant other. And the message being produced by The Children’s Place was not lost on customers. Costumers took the clothing stores Facebook page to let their opinions be heard.

"The infamous 'Math is Hard' Barbie came out over 20 years ago, and you guys are *STILL* trying to glamorize empty-headed materialism? Shame on you," wrote Heath Isimsiz. In a separate post, shopper and mother Erin Shipp said she would no longer shop at the store as she was "really disgusted by the sexist approach to girls' clothing."

And while the success of the social media outrage may not change the fashion world, The Children’s Place did announce that they had in fact pulled the offending “My Best Subjects” shirt.

Despite their apology, this is not the first time The Children’s Place has been in hot wtare for the messages associated with their clothes for kids. "We’ve seen these kinds of messages in the past, and it appears that [The Children's Place] hasn’t learned the lesson other retailers have that marketing clothing to girls with the message that 'math is hard' is a questionable move," Consumerist's Mary Beth Quirk wrote.
