I read this and found it disturbing...It makes you wonder what some
people think with. Please we need to protect children and preserve
their innocence.
According to the Canadian Sun:
An online clothing store in the U.K. continues to sell baby blankets
with the slogan 'F--- Me Like A Pornstar' and onesies with the words
'Porn Star' despite a massive online backlash.
As of Saturday morning, cafepress was still selling more than 130
items, including blankets, onesies and T-shirts for toddlers with
slogans like 'Liquor In The Front Poker In The Rear.'
"This content serves to reinforce women's second class status, as less
than men, as mere objects for men's entertainment and gratification,"
Caitlin Roper, of women's rights group Collective Shout, told The
Independent.
She said Cafe Press's "pro-rape 'humour' trivializes crimes of
violence against women," and reduces a global issue affecting millions
of women every day to a "punch line of a joke.
"I can't believe I even have to argue that sexualized or porn-inspired
imagery and slogans on baby clothes and merchandise is unacceptable,"
she added.
CURB, an organization working to abolish human trafficking and the sex
trade in the Caribbean, tweeted: "Is there no Code of Ethics that
exists to prevent merchants from developing slogans which promote
#pedophilia."
Roper told The Independent she was shocked by Cafe Press' response to
her concerns.
"They suggested I redirect my energy and instead of tweeting I should
fill out reports. I countered that they should exercise some corporate
social responsibility and asked if they were going to pay me to do
their job for them."
Roper tweeted: "According to @cafepress, it is the role of customers
to regulate pro-rape material on their site #notbuyingit.
Please boycott that shop or any other like it.
