'Everyone thinks girls should just be pretty and boys should just be adventurous'
This is the moment an eight-year-old girl burst into an impassioned rant – after spotting ‘sexist’ children’s clothes on sale at her local Tesco.
In a video filmed by her mum, Daisy Edmonds blasts the supermarket giant for having contrasting slogans on their t-shirts for boys and girls. While the boys’ feature motifs like “Desert adventure awaits”, “Hero” and “Think outside the box”, the girls’ say “Hey!”, “Beautiful” and “I feel fabulous.”
Eight-year-old Daisy was so enraged by the inequality, her mum, Becky, filmed her reaction and posted it on Facebook. In the clip, the indignant youngster says: “It’s unfair because everyone thinks girls should just be pretty and boys should just be adventurous.”
She adds: “It’s wrong, why should boys and girls even be separate? Because we’re just as good as each other”.
The video originally posted by Daisy’s mum has since gone viral and amassed over one million views, being shared over 20,000 times. One commenter wrote: “She has it figured out at the age of eight whereas most of us are still struggling with this basic a concept”.
