Woman Calls Out Clothing Brands For Sexist Care Tags, And Here Are 10 Of The Most Upsetting Ones

Interview With Author
ADVERTISEMENT

Despite our society actively educating people on practising a safe environment for every human being – many social issues require an unbelievable amount of hard work in order to at least be heard by some.

People who grew up in an “old-fashioned” upbringing tend to need an absurd amount of everyday learning that would ultimately lead them into understanding how discriminating against other folks is foolish, at the very least. Some individuals carry on believing their unhealthy opinions even with all the right-minded morals our community strives to preach – however, it’s all a matter of time.

Things like sexism and racism remain to be particularly significant in this day and age, as a countless amount of people still get harassed on the basis of their race and gender. Sometimes it feels like certain groups of people are simply hating as if it’s an ordinary everyday type of need.

Many fail to recognize how casual the discrimination can be – for instance, let’s look at this viral TikTok that made many people rush to check the care tags on their clothes.

More info: TikTok | Instagram | YouTube

This TikToker got over 920K views on a video after exposing clothing brands for their discriminative care tags

Millie Lusson, a Canadian hobby enthusiast and history lover, made a TikTok video demonstrating how a bunch of clothing brands appear to be using discriminatory language in their instruction labels.

The video sparked a fiery debate amongst online users and received nearly 3200 comments where people couldn’t comprehend that things like this still happen in this day and age.

Bored Panda has reached out to Millie in order to find out about her personal beliefs regarding this serious matter.

The woman is extremely passionate about this topic and revealed that we as a society should be past this type of “humor” by now. She feels that putting jokes on labels is a great idea, but strongly encourages companies to be self aware and make them funny without using misogyny, sexism, etc.

We asked Lusson about what she thinks would be the best “remedy” for organizations or people in general that still discriminate against folks based on their gender, to which she replied:

“I think it starts with education. It takes a lot of work, but learning about diversity, sexuality, and gender identity, and the history and evolution of systems of oppression, is important and necessary work for everyone to take on. And along with that, talking about it with friends, family, and colleagues is a big part of it. It will probably be uncomfortable, but people need to learn to sit in discomfort and grow from it rather than avoid it.”

Millie also added: “casual misogyny and sexism are very problematic, they seep into the vernacular, and with that there is a danger that they become the norm. Being under the guise of ‘jokes’ does not excuse them and we should not let them slide because of that. Calling it out is a simple good thing that anyone can do”.

To a certain extent, social media can be a true blessing. People are able to voice their concerns and actually be heard by the majority. Sadly, sometimes, just educating people doesn’t perform as well as we would like to – hence why calling out involved individuals and literally pointing at their mistakes works wonders.

Sexism will most likely continue to happen as double standards are extremely embedded in our culture. After all, inequality starts in our childhood when parents casually say things like “but you’re a girl,” implying that a woman is not allowed to do whatever she wants to do simply because of her gender. It’s our job to continue enlightening uneducated people even if it seems that fighting for an ethical environment will never stop.

You can watch the video here:

I've noticed that people will make jokes about seriously bad behave or situations. Then as soon as you call it out you're immediately told it's a joke or to lighten up and chill. People are twisting blatant hatefulness, sexism, and any other bad thing into a joke. But there is no joke that is just how they feel and think. What do you call that? When people use a joke to mask how awful they really are. I see it so much on social media and it's messed up how some people do that. Does anyone else know what I'm talking about? I can't be the only one who notices this.

I know what you're talking about. Ive had someone ( or people over the years) criticize something about me and when I call them on it, tell me they were just kidding. The truth is when I called them on whatever it was, they didn't have the backbone to stand up for what they said. My word for it is hypocrite.

Well in the current trajectory of society, ( dont go to the movies stay home and stream it, dont go get dinner door dash it, dont drive a car uber instead etc) we are indeed raising a bunch of folks that will be hard put to fend for themselves in the most basic scenarios. So i corddially invite you to invest in my new start up 'Rent a mom' where a real life mom will come to your home and do your laundry for you. May as well make parenting a subscription based service now too right?

I think those are probably brands that make clothing specifically for men and most women who know how to do laundry wouldn't even look this far down the label, because we all know at what temperature to wash a pair of jeans.

If it's a joke, you should be able to explain what makes it funny. This is just encouraging men to be incompetant and misogynist, and disguising it with humor. You give me laundry to do, it's either going in with mine, on the 40 degree standard cycle, or it's sitting at the bottom of the dirty laundry basket till the end of time. You want something handwashed, watch a youtube video and figure it out.

Wowwww. I (perhaps naively) hope that some of these came about from non-English speakers blindly copying other care tag text. But seriously, the idea that men can't figure out simple household tasks and they're exclusively women's domain is insulting to everyone. Besides---don't tell her--- but my mother should not be trusted to launder anything you care about. She puts everything in the dryer on high!

I've seen tags that say "if you don't know what these symbols mean then ask your mom, she'll explain." Or something close to that, I no longer own the shirt. I thought it was pretty funny. I showed it to her and she laughed and said she has no idea what they mean.

It must be a USA-thing, I never ever saw this kind of labels in Europe-sold clothes in any of the countries. Some are really terrible, some one kinda hilarious and kinda true as better-don't-wash-a-feine-material-clothing-if-you-have-no-clue. True, it's not gender-related.

All I see is manufacturers pointing out that men supposedly aren't capable of doing their own laundry. None of it is clothes sold in the US, as far as I know (nor care---I just make sure it's washable, and never read the label again), but it's hardly "offensive." Seems as if just this one particular female has issues and "has to" bring them to the attention of an otherwise "who cares?!" world.

And I know I cannot do his job, I do not have the strength... We are made different for very good reasons .... Genetic women bear children and have a more natural tendency with them... Why allow yourself to feel less for having natural tendencies. ... And I am not referring to social / cultural expectations... But true natural gender tendancies

I'll believe you that these are not just jokes and are sexist and a serious issue if you ladies will admit that joking that dads are barely able to raise their own children and that they are just bumbling idiots babysitting while mom is busy is also sexist and should be stopped. Literally every show on TV, and most movies, perpetuate the stereotype that men are stupid man babies incapable of caring for a child, or a pedophile, if that can just be a "funny joke", so can "give it to your mom", or you can stop your crap too.

Don't take this the wrong way but the people who should be offended are the ones buying these clothes. The tags are essentially calling them idiots who can't follow simple directions and need someone to explain how to do something as simple as laundry. That being said, when it comes to being offended by misogyny, this kind of thing isn't worth the effort. There are FAR more pressing issues to be addressed when it comes to the treatment of women. Let's go after the laundry tags after we tackle women's rights, the wage gap, reproductive freedom, the blatant bias against women in medical research and healthcare in general, unfair hiring practices in which women are consistently asked if they have or want children, sexual harassment, assault, domestic violence....the list is ridiculously long and this seems like it should be the least of our worries.

I know someone who works for a clothier that does this. Their intended clientele are millennials, and they don't mince words about believing that the younger generations are home illiterate, inept, and feel entitled to have others do their bidding, cleaning, everything else. The few labels that are in the post are a drop in the pond. This WILL become more mainstream in marketing!

There is no way an itty bitty tag on the inside back ( or wherever on the garment) is going to make me feel anything except my heart felt sympathy for the person that labored in a sweat shop sewing the darn thing. Nothing about that tag hurts or offends me. If anything, some of them made me laugh.

In *your* relationship, it's your job to do the laundry. But that's not what the tag says, is it? It doesn't say, "Linny H's Husband: Give this laundry to Linny H; it's her job." What does it actually say? And what does that imply? And why oh why might some women (who are not you) find that annoying? I wonder

Just because it's a joke, doesn't mean it's a good joke. It's a very stupid joke that annoys a lot of people, because it is word-for-word a copy of what some people say when they are *not* joking. I really hope you can wrap your head around that? Try really really hard and ponder this concept, and maybe your brain will squeeze out something of substance

Except she is not "exposing" anything, just copying old stories she has found online. First label was in the news back in 2012, second and third in 2015 (presume the test are old too) and she even used the exact same images used in stories at that time. Stupid labels that were not funny at the time, but there are plenty of actual problems currently if you are looking to "continue enlightening uneducated people" 🙄

Wtf are you talking about? Misogyny and sexism are just as relevant today, s**t MORE relevant today than it was 10 years ago.. so regardless if it's an old article.. it doesn't change anything. If anything it proves a whole other and equally important point. That sexism and gender bias' are still alive and kicking.. and nothing has changed about it in the last decade. Especially when ppl like you are trying to discredit/dismiss the issue for no other reason than for the fact that you, yourself are a sexist, misogynistic person who thinks this s**t is okay. Let me be the one to tell you that ... ITS NOT OKAY! it wasn't okay 10 years ago and it's sure as F**k not okay today. And you're right, it wasn't funny then... and it's not funny now. Considering you completely missed the point of the article.. I'm going to point out that the initial article WASNT MEANT TO BE FUNNY! It was meant to call out casual & ridiculously unnecessary sexism... like. How did you miss all of this!?

Don't let a laundry label run your life. If your kid hands you the shirt because the label says give it to your mommy to clean, then be the parent and educate the kid. I can see why people may not like the message on the label, but it shouldn't ruin your day. Rise above it and be smart. Teach your kids to be smart teach them how to fend for themselves. If your son "Hands this to his mommy", and he's a teenager… There is no way in hell I would let him date my daughter. What a crap husband that guy would be.

I've noticed that people will make jokes about seriously bad behave or situations. Then as soon as you call it out you're immediately told it's a joke or to lighten up and chill. People are twisting blatant hatefulness, sexism, and any other bad thing into a joke. But there is no joke that is just how they feel and think. What do you call that? When people use a joke to mask how awful they really are. I see it so much on social media and it's messed up how some people do that. Does anyone else know what I'm talking about? I can't be the only one who notices this.

Well in the current trajectory of society, ( dont go to the movies stay home and stream it, dont go get dinner door dash it, dont drive a car uber instead etc) we are indeed raising a bunch of folks that will be hard put to fend for themselves in the most basic scenarios. So i corddially invite you to invest in my new start up 'Rent a mom' where a real life mom will come to your home and do your laundry for you. May as well make parenting a subscription based service now too right?

If it's a joke, you should be able to explain what makes it funny. This is just encouraging men to be incompetant and misogynist, and disguising it with humor. You give me laundry to do, it's either going in with mine, on the 40 degree standard cycle, or it's sitting at the bottom of the dirty laundry basket till the end of time. You want something handwashed, watch a youtube video and figure it out.

But seriously, the idea that men can't figure out simple household tasks and they're exclusively women's domain is insulting to everyone. Besides---don't tell her--- but my mother should not be trusted to launder anything you care about. She puts everything in the dryer on high!

All I see is manufacturers pointing out that men supposedly aren't capable of doing their own laundry. None of it is clothes sold in the US, as far as I know (nor care---I just make sure it's washable, and never read the label again), but it's hardly "offensive." Seems as if just this one particular female has issues and "has to" bring them to the attention of an otherwise "who cares?!" world.

I'll believe you that these are not just jokes and are sexist and a serious issue if you ladies will admit that joking that dads are barely able to raise their own children and that they are just bumbling idiots babysitting while mom is busy is also sexist and should be stopped. Literally every show on TV, and most movies, perpetuate the stereotype that men are stupid man babies incapable of caring for a child, or a pedophile, if that can just be a "funny joke", so can "give it to your mom", or you can stop your crap too.

Don't take this the wrong way but the people who should be offended are the ones buying these clothes. The tags are essentially calling them idiots who can't follow simple directions and need someone to explain how to do something as simple as laundry. That being said, when it comes to being offended by misogyny, this kind of thing isn't worth the effort. There are FAR more pressing issues to be addressed when it comes to the treatment of women. Let's go after the laundry tags after we tackle women's rights, the wage gap, reproductive freedom, the blatant bias against women in medical research and healthcare in general, unfair hiring practices in which women are consistently asked if they have or want children, sexual harassment, assault, domestic violence....the list is ridiculously long and this seems like it should be the least of our worries.

There is no way an itty bitty tag on the inside back ( or wherever on the garment) is going to make me feel anything except my heart felt sympathy for the person that labored in a sweat shop sewing the darn thing. Nothing about that tag hurts or offends me. If anything, some of them made me laugh.

Wtf are you talking about? Misogyny and sexism are just as relevant today, s**t MORE relevant today than it was 10 years ago.. so regardless if it's an old article.. it doesn't change anything. If anything it proves a whole other and equally important point. That sexism and gender bias' are still alive and kicking.. and nothing has changed about it in the last decade. Especially when ppl like you are trying to discredit/dismiss the issue for no other reason than for the fact that you, yourself are a sexist, misogynistic person who thinks this s**t is okay. Let me be the one to tell you that ... ITS NOT OKAY! it wasn't okay 10 years ago and it's sure as F**k not okay today. And you're right, it wasn't funny then... and it's not funny now. Considering you completely missed the point of the article.. I'm going to point out that the initial article WASNT MEANT TO BE FUNNY! It was meant to call out casual & ridiculously unnecessary sexism... like. How did you miss all of this!?

Don't let a laundry label run your life. If your kid hands you the shirt because the label says give it to your mommy to clean, then be the parent and educate the kid. I can see why people may not like the message on the label, but it shouldn't ruin your day. Rise above it and be smart. Teach your kids to be smart teach them how to fend for themselves. If your son "Hands this to his mommy", and he's a teenager… There is no way in hell I would let him date my daughter. What a crap husband that guy would be.

Teenagers are sometimes stupid. It's normal. They are still in the process of finding themselves, and they can be lectured.

I think that somebody thought this would be funny ! I can see why someone would think sexist (the “it’s her job” one ) but I’m a 42 yo woman if I don’t know how to wash something or think I might mess it up I almost always take it to my mom 🤷🏻‍♀️
