The Return (?) of Sexism

[kangeiko]

Primark withdraws padded bikini tops - aimed at 7-year-olds. I am without words.

No, actually, I am not. Everyone should go and read Living Dolls: The Return of Sexism by Natasha Walter, where she talks about - shockingly - this exact same trend. For those curious, other examples include:
- Tesco and their pole-dancing kit in the 'toys' section
- Next
