Sexist yes, a joke designed to get extra publicity &#8211; I can almost guarantee it!<\/strong>\r\n\r\nA photo of the garment&#8217;s label was posted on Twitter yesterday\u00a0 and quickly caused a major storm in a tea cup, with users calling for the brand to be named and shamed. Personally I\u2019m not sure that anyone other than a teenage boy would take this washing instruction seriously, which is why it doesn\u2019t offend me. Plus it almost makes me laugh because I can see someone passing it to their mum\/girlfriend and getting a much deserved slap round the head!\r\n<h3>Offensive clothing<\/h3>\r\nHaving said that, some articles of clothing have and do offend me. I loathed the Topman t-shirts that were released earlier this year and were glad when they were forced to apologise and take them off shelves. Some said they were meant as a joke, but what&#8217;s so funny about domestic violence (the t-shirts had an offensive: \u201cI\u2019m sorry but she provoked me\/I was drunk\/I hate you\u201d slogan).\r\n<h3>Naughty labels<\/h3>\r\nAnd I was never too fond of the old \u00a0French Connection FCUK label, especially when I saw it on young teenage girls or the playboy bunny\/sexy slogans on t-shirts for young girls and tweens.\r\n\r\nBut what do you think? Do some clothes offend you? Are these Madhouse trousers sexist? Let me know.\r\n<h3>Related Article<\/h3>\r\n<blockquote data-secret=\"MFfDX0pAXd\" class=\"wp-embedded-content\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kidstart.co.uk\/blog\/fashion-gone-wrong\/\">Fashion Gone Wrong<\/a><\/blockquote><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; clip: rect(1px, 1px, 1px, 1px);\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kidstart.co.uk\/blog\/fashion-gone-wrong\/embed\/#?secret=MFfDX0pAXd\" data-secret=\"MFfDX0pAXd\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" title=\"&#8220;Fashion Gone Wrong&#8221; &#8212; KidStart Magazine\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe>\r\n\r\n<hr \/>\r\n\r\n<h4><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kidstart.co.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\">KidStart<\/a><\/strong> a little help along the way<\/h4>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Have you heard about the sexist trouser Twitter storm?
