Stop selling offensive Hillary products

Spencer's Gifts, a notably controversial store in many malls across America, is at it again with their "humor."

To stay relevant in time for the upcoming 2016 presidential elections, they have launched products either in support of or in disagreement with each candidate for people to purchase and wear their voice. But one thing they didn't do, is attack ANY of the male candidates for president based on sexually charged digs. Bernie Sanders products are pretty cool, and there are some that joke about Trump's bad toupee...but all the products that speak negatively of Hillary contain poorly-thought out "jokes" about her being a woman, instead of about her decisions as a politician. Being female is not a joke. I personally am not voting for her--but seeing Hillary reduced to a blow-up sex doll (which made me actually gag in disgust) or "two fat thighs, two small breasts and one Left Wing" on a tee shirt is NOT how I want young girls to think they will be seen if they run for President one day. It is not what strong, powerful women should be reduced to.
I am asking Steven Silverstein, the company's CEO, to remove these products from shelves until they can come up with something better. Though Spencer's appeals to the asinine, it should not need to be perpetuating sexism in order to sell its products.

Dear Mr. Silverstein, 


This petition serves to let you know that there are people in this country and around the world who are not going to tolerate your reduction of presidential candidate Hillary Rodham-Clinton to a mere sex object. 


Your products created for buyers to have and express a voice in politics, especially in an upcoming presidential election, is one that can be appreciated--allowing people to get involved and become engaged with their favorite--or least favorite--candidate and express themselves as they wish. 


But one thing you do not do to any of the male candidates for president is objectify them sexually--so why is this being done to the only female candidate on the ballot? 


This is a clear demonstration of misogyny and sexism, and it goes beyond just your tee shirts. Selling a Hillary blow up doll with the expectation that people will degrade it is both appalling and unsettling, especially to women. 


This is not how we want our future women to see themselves being treated if they choose to someday run for president. Your products are making a joke of women in politics, discouraging future generations of strong girls from becoming involved and serving our country because products like yours still serves up being sexually humiliated as an option.


Those who sign this petition do so in expressing our hope that you will remove these products from your shelves until you come up with something better.
