JCPenney Shirt Sparks Debate on Beauty and Academics
In a surprising turn of events, a shirt sold by JCPenney sparked quite a debate recently. The shirt, available in sizes 7-16, bore the phrase, “I’m too pretty to do homework, so my brother has to do it for me.” Upon realizing the backlash, JCPenney quickly removed the item from its website.
Understanding the Uproar
Honestly, I don’t quite understand the uproar. I mean, isn’t it a compliment to say that Lily is exceptionally beautiful? Shouldn’t we just let her enjoy being pretty without the pressure of academics? After all, why not let her brother handle the homework? It’s a stereotype, but we often think men excel in intellectual pursuits. Wouldn’t it be better for her to spend her after-school hours pampering herself, perhaps brushing her lovely hair or perfecting her nail art instead of worrying about math problems?
Creating a Positive Message
This inspired me to create some fun shirts of my own that convey the image I want my daughter, Emma, to embrace. Cute, right? I hope you might catch them soon at your local JCPenney.
