Is your dog’s Halloween costume sexist?
“Any tidy girl dog will look adorable wearing this French Maid Dog Costume,” the site’s description reads. “Whether your pup is a clean freak or a messy mutt, she will enjoy playing ‘dress up’ in this fun costume.”The choices for male dogs, meanwhile, include fireman, mob boss and doctor (suggested pairing: “match up with a girl friend with the Sweet Heart Nurse Dog Costume.”)
“It seems silly on the surface, but this is part of a larger message we’re sending, that there are certain jobs for men, and certain jobs for women,” said Scott Lawrie, 36, who co-hosts a podcast, ‘She will not be ignored,’ about gender issues. “The career options for women — and dogs — need to go beyond pink loofahs and pink cowgirls.” - The Washington Post

Some high IQ sociologist needs to do a study correlating wussification of American's dogs with wussification of the American people. But first we would have find a high IQ sociologist, which might be a problem.

I wouldn't do that to a cat, much less my dog. However, obama and his band of idiotic pussies would look really, really great dressed like that.
