People are furious at J.Crew for making a boy's shirt that says 'I am a feminist too'

J.Crew is selling a shirt for boys that says "I am a feminist too."

Some people are mad that J.Crew is apparently supporting feminist ideology.

Others are mad the brand is making a shirt that ascribes a social ideology to children.

J.Crew's new politically minded is drawing the ire of right-wing fans of the brand.

The fashion brand promoted the shirt on its Instagram account over the weekend, and was flooded with comments criticizing the brand for apparently promoting the political ideology of equality between the sexes.

Oh for Christ sakes get a grip. If you don't like it then don't buy it for your kid. It's pretty damn simple.

What is wrong with influencing your own children? They think it fine when they influence theirs on religion and so forth.
