It appears that love really is dead after a new line of seasonal sweaters went on sale at Target, sparking outrage. The retailer began selling two colorful sweaters: one that was pink and carried the words “Dump Him” on it, and a second blue sweater containing the words “Emotionally Unavailable.” Despite the seemingly harmless messages, it wasn’t long before angry users showed up on social media to slam the store for spreading anti-men messages. One user posted: “Could you imagine if, in the month leading up to Valentine’s Day, Target was spotlighting a “Dump Her” sweater in the men’s section? People would lose it!” The comments continued from other users, many pointing out that Target is encouraging propaganda encouraging women to hate men. Last year, Target came under fire for its Pride collection, leading many shoppers to call for a boycott of the retailer. After losing between $9 billion and $12 billion because of the backlash, many are left wondering why Target would pull something like the anti-men sweaters.
