People Are Freaking Out Over This 'Sexist,' Misspelled Einstein T-shirt

A Gap advert sent out to UK customers has been causing a commotion on social media, after people deemed it “sexist.”

The ad in question was first shared on social media by Twitter user Sabrina Golonka after she received Gap’s email.

In email advertised a boys’ tee featuring an image of Albert Einstein, which was captioned “the little scholar.” Below the “little scholar” was an image of a girls’ tee, captioned “the social butterfly.”

Some people feel the ad promotes gender stereotypes.

Others offered suggestions for a girls’ T-shirt…

Gap’s website does, however, feature a girls’ T-shirt emblazoned with the word “genius,” which might have been a nice addition in Gap’s mailer. (Mashable has reached out to Gap for comment.)

It didn’t end there, however.

There was a slight problem with Gap’s “little scholar” T-shirt. Albert Einstein’s name had been misspelled.

People on Twitter were quick to point out the irony.

Awkward!
