So, apparently the bad PR from last week's "I'm too pretty to do homework" tee shirt wasn't enough for J.C. Penney, because now comes this little gem from their website. This new shirt lists "My best subjects" as "Boys, Shopping, Music, Dancing." Seriously? We need to be encouraging 7 - 14 year old girls to claim their best subject as "boys" or "shopping?" Frankly, t's humiliating and insulting even to have to point out how sexist and retrograde this is.
If you need to, you can see the tee shirt here:

Penney's CEO, Mike Ulman III and their Merchandising Senior Vice President, Lorraine Hitch: that their "humor" isn't cute or empowering and must stop, today.
