Clark's have been accused of sexism I've just noticed on news headlines!! This because they have a girl's shoe called Dolly Babe with hearts on insole while boys called Leader with footballs!!! Honestly talk about political correctness gone mad it makes me so mad..why can't we have girly and boy things grrrr!!!! I don't think it is anything to do with the patterns on the soles!! It is the very names of the shoes that are backward thinking.

Fish face Sturgeon "It is almost beyond belief that in 2017 a major company could think this is in any way acceptable. Shows what we are still up against."
Even the Conservative MP Jacob Rees-Mogg, usually the most unbending upholder of traditional values, told the BBC: “To call a pair of shoes for a girl Dolly Babe is dreadful. It’s wrong in all sorts of ways … this is just really silly.” The issue was first raised by Miranda Williams, a councillor in Greenwich, who was horrified when she found Dolly Babe in an online search for new school shoes for her twin daughters. She tweeted: “The idea that we should be bringing up a generation of boys to aspire to become leaders while the best hope for girls is to be Dolly Babes is just grim.” https://www.theguardian.com/world/2...-school-shoe-after-accusations-of-sexism

A boy could want to be a ballet dancer. A girl could grow up wanting to climb mountains. I don't see a problem with either.
What is a problem is stereo-typing genders.

How long is this anti-sexism supposed to continue for ? All of their lives or just up to puberty.
I suggest these female pop singers get off our screens and stop flaunting their half naked bodies around in such provocative manners with the sole intention of promoting female sexuality and encouraging 'teeny babes' to admire and copy them. Bin all the childrens classic story books, or give the three little pigs dresses to wear as they build their brick and straw houses. Or alternatively ,change the story to knitting and crocheting their houses. Drop the name Princess from all Disney dress up shoes. How terribly boring...... 'Dress up Shoes' It doesn't add much creativity does it ? Sales will plummet !
It's one man's mission in the advertising world, who from now on shall be called Tinkerbell, to put his name in lights , it's not law and probably never will be, so we should close our ears to such rubbish and Rees-Mogg can have his opinion the same as anyone else.(stupid point to raise).
Quite simply, from here it looks as if he's out numbered.
