"Holy Housework" Batgirl! Target Criticized For Girl's Superhero T-Shirt No description found
A superheroes t-shirt is creating a super-sized controversy for Target.
The retail giant is accused of promoting a product that is demeaning to girls. At issue: A Batgirl shirt.
The primary duty of most superheroes is to save the world. Well, not so much if you're a girl - at least, according to critics of the shirt. Target Australia is under fire for selling a $12 tee, which insinuates that girl super heroes should be doing chores around the house prior to helping keep the world safe.
