Is your dog’s Halloween costume sexist?

On the site BaxterBoo.com, options for your female pooch include “sweet heart nurse” or French maid.
“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.
