Dude good thing we never got those in store. I think that was an online exclusive thing

MadPooter 5y ago

According to the logic of #cancelculture, this store should be shut down and declare bankruptcy tomorrow. Doesn't matter how long ago this happened.

Anyone realize old navy is also calling woman fat

NH_Lion12 5y ago

What self-respecting man would wear that?

428

v573v 5y ago

A dad with a daughter and ‘her’ being the daughter.

I could definitely see a new mom buying this on behalf of her daughter for the dad to wear while he spends father’s day with his daughter. Cha-Ching!

The only other markets for it would be a financial loss for the company since ‘woke’ people typically exploit the concept of brand loyalty rather than obey it. Although, I will admit that I have seen company’s do stupid things sometimes.

I personally disagree with it since I believe that Father’s Day is a celebratory day that marks the relationship between both me and my kids... perhaps this shirt was an attempted acknowledgment of the idea that Father’s Day isn’t just a day for dads but a day to observe the bond between a dad and his (in this case) daughter but in this political climate the point is lost with the current anti-father’s day trend...?

DigitalisEdible 5y ago

No self-respecting man would. Male feminists would.

APlays71 5y ago

Did you mean,SIMPS would?

what's a simp?

GrislyMedic 5y ago

A male who puts females on pedestals

onbakeplatinum 5y ago

A guy with no self respect who will sacrifice anything for m'lady.

alecesne 5y ago

We’ve missed the lexical train and it’s too late to ask. Some sort of thirsty bloodless creature in thrall of a vampire or succubus whose will has been drained from him.

QuintenBoosje 5y ago

very unhulpful.

ZCommander9088 5y ago

They wouldn’t. Only a simp would.

matrixislife 5y ago

I don't understand why this isn't more prevalent in here, surely a company that does it's customers down so badly should be blacklisted? Assuming it doesn't break some ridiculous reddit rule we should have a sticky list of places to stay the hell away from.

bobblehead69 5y ago

Like you could tolerate entering the one store in the mall where a mens medium isn't actually standard medium anyway. Either way this is definitely the final nail in the coffin

mr_t_pot 5y ago

Wise idea; the quality is shit anyway.

alecesne 5y ago

You can’t spell “Father” without “fat her.” But I gather pregnant women don’t like to be referred to that way.

Happy Father’s Day, and May you all get through breakfast before the nagging resumes!

And it's in the "Men's section". Turds.

Lucas1246 5y ago

Of course the original comments section is trying to insist that's it's just a joke. Ok then how do you think they'd react to a similar t shirt about mothers day?

yatinbawa22 5y ago

Its others day

SerouisMe 5y ago

This could easily be seen as a joke and good point that fathers don't really get a day.

Because certain feminists would be foaming at the mouth over a similar topic doesn't mean you have to drop to their level.

It’s really Moth er ’s Day

[deleted] 5y ago

Old navy and gap inc in general are so typical of the modern socially woke company. I worked there for several years and the company is truly trash.

191

Redisigh 5y ago

Tbh they probably did it because they know modern femis will buy it in heaps. Knowing they’re out for profit that can either sell really well or backfire really poorly

[deleted] 5y ago

Former IT for Gap here: the entire place is corrupt from the ground up. I've worked in some ROUGH jobs (shitty retail wise), but id rather go homeless than ever work for Gap again. Borderline abusive policies, literally no incentive to even try to move up or promote, and zero investment in their employees, while demanding the weirdest cult-like loyalty in order to even get a SCRAP of positive interaction with project leads and management. And the job itself was the most underpaid I've ever been for performing IMMENSE amounts of work, the sort of thing that's generally reserved for engineering/ OMNI teams at the service desk level. Our calls would deviate back and forth between "I can't start this iPod" to (I shit you not) "the power is fluctuating at corporate HQ, we need you to deal with this NOW". Worst two years of my life: I eventually quit and drove off with no backup plan while blasting Fuck You by Celo as loud as I could crank it.

-Noxxy- 5y ago

The "woker" the company the more dirty it is on the inside. It's like BuzzFeed stopping their folk from unionising

bhullj11 5y ago

Yup exactly any company that is woke is just using it as a cover.

thatusenameistaken 5y ago

Bernie Sanders staffers...

It's like people just don't learn.

mr_j_12 5y ago

I work for a company where the union sides with the company. Unfortunately due to my circumstances im stuck at a company that no one wants to work at. Staff literally copped a "work faster you peasants" speach while getting no thanks for working during the covid shit.

koukijimbob 5y ago

the union sides with the company

What the fuck, this is literally the complete opposite of a Union's purpose

Patrick_McGroin 5y ago

Honestly this attitude is a large contributor to why there is such a problem with unions in America. Each side (Union and company) just try to take as much as they can and the combative nature just sours opinions on both sides.

You need something more like the German system, where unions are powerful but work with the companies to get the best for everyone.

Throwaway_Old_Guy 5y ago

They are colloquially know as "Rat Unions".

They are deliberately designed to side with the Companies position on labour agreements.

Having a "Union" will allow the Company to bid on projects that they might be excluded from.

mr_j_12 5y ago

The union at one point of time was getting kickbacks from the company (could still be) "we make them sign with you, you help us out if needed". I had issues at work qhere i knew i was in the right. Union said, no, work is right.

Funnily enough another union is banned from entering the stores after sticking up for workers with an eba amongst other things.

koukijimbob 5y ago

What a corrupt mess. Sounds like a possible lawsuit waiting to happen.

mr_j_12 5y ago

Said company got done for not paying workers right (one of the things second union went at them for). So yeah. Both arent the best of companies.

mr_t_pot 5y ago

I eventually quit and drove off with no backup plan while blasting Fuck You by Celo as loud as I could crank it.

The vividness here is impeccable. Good for you!

Don't forget to never buy from Gillette again....after almost 2 years I finally finished all my Gillette products. I will never buy Gillette again.... Why you ask? Watch their misandrist commercial....boys will be boys...boys will be ...(aggressive, rapists, disposable like our razors)

hoods_breath 5y ago

Gilette is owned by P&G which is arguably one of the worst conglomerates in the US. Feel free to boycott their other goods, too. You could throw in Nestle and Unilever, too.

myevillaugh 5y ago

I'm a fan of https://www.getjackblack.com/

Their razors are great and made in Germany, not in China. They hold their edge much longer than Gillette's. Their shave lather is the best I've had.

imoldfashnd 5y ago

Never ever neverever. No way.

xsnyder 5y ago

Haven't bought their crap in YEARS, I shave with a safety razor and the blades cost me about $.08 each.

Oh and I get a better shave.

sircocklord 5y ago

I find it hilarious that a company that sells shaving products is trying to drive men away, their marketing is top-notch

xNOM 5y ago

They're not. They actually believe men hate themselves. They're probably right in the case of millennials.

SPH3R1C4L 5y ago

Dude, bought a safety razer and some shave soap with a nice brush, they couldn’t pay me to use their shitty product again. I do enjoy that since that commercial, the shaving market has seemed to have exploded, there’s new brands every time I walk down the shaving aisle.

mr_t_pot 5y ago

And plenty of online shaving stores dedicated to quality men's shaving/grooming products made by men, and for men.

To veer a bit of course: something that frustrates me is that when I sign up for newsletters specifically about men's products from a site like CK that sells to men and women (which I have zero problem with), every single newsletter I get about deals only contains images of bras, loungewear and the like for women when I specifically checked off "items for men" when I signed up. Think about that. The message there is: these are things for men to buy for women.

SPH3R1C4L 5y ago

So I get the frustration you have with it, but here’s why that doesn’t really bother me-

I’ve bought from the same tshirt company since I was about 19 years old. (Shoutout to sullen art company) walked into a store in san diego and loved the style of the art on the shirts. (also, I dont remember really seeing chicks in their newsletters so maybe check them out if you dig the style)(no seriously I love the brand and hope more people find them so they get bigger, they definitely deserve it)

I’ve been buying the same ua charged cotton underwear for a few years. got them cause I had tried the polyester ua after wearing shitty walmart underwear, crappy wallmart underwear rides into my balls super uncomfortable, ua underwear doesnt, but I missed the feel of cotton. Not switching brands, these are nice.

I bought boss jeans when I was 21, those jeans I wore all the time for about 6 years until they finally ripped. My buddy loved boss, guido new yorker wore alot of boss stuff, I liked the way the jeans looked. Bought a new pair of boss jeans. Will buy another pair of boss jeans so I have different colors.

Been wearing doc martens since I was 15 cause my mom told me when she was a kid the real counterculture/punk rock style was doc martens instead of the trip pant silliness that was cool to me around then. I also wear slip on vans cause I skated as a kid and slip ons you can stomp the heel down and wear em like slippers.

I’ve been buying from the same company for years, some ad isn’t going to sway me from buying these products, nor did an ad initially sway me to buy them in the first place. I think alot of guys are like that. Girls on the other hand will go on etsy or open up a newsletter and say oh that looks cute and go out and buy from a different brand. So like if I was going to put my money into advertising, I wouldn’t waste my money advertising to me, cause I’m already set into purchasing from specific companies.

mr_t_pot 5y ago

Point taken, and you made a lot of good comments. Just to clarify, I never said it would stop me from buying. For example, I mentioned CK ... like you, I refuse to wear cheap underwear. The switch I made over 10 years ago has already paid for itself as the quality, the superior cotton, the comfort, 100s of washes, and lack of riding has meant zero replacement necessary. I just get irritated when I check "send me deals for men", and I get none especially when I am a long-time supporter.

xsnyder 5y ago

If you have issues with underwear like that I HIGHLY recommend Duluth Trading Co. Their Armachillo Bullpen boxer briefs are the best I've ever worn.

They are light weight and very cool, and they have a pocket that literally cradles your balls so you don't chafe.

They aren't cheap ($30 each), but they last a long time and are crazy comfortable.

Just my $.02, I have spent years searching for the best underwear.

PyroTheAlpha 5y ago

I just gotta wonder what marketing consultant says these are great ideas

destarolat 5y ago

The ideologically possessed sees the power that comes from being at the top of a company as a way to spread the ideology, not as a way to increase profits. These people are also managers not investors, so if the company fails, they just jump to a different company and try again. They don't care about the company, profits, serve the costumers... There will be lip service to that, but the true motivation is spreading the ideology.

PyroTheAlpha 5y ago

The problem is... these are major companies at the top of their fields, like almost everyone knows old navy and most people know Gillette so it’s kind of hard to jump ship if you run something that big into the ground

destarolat 5y ago

True, but these people learned this behavior in college and got solidified when nobody was looking at them, they had not that much power, and they could easily blame someone else. By the time the shit hits the fan they are deep in it and even believe it is all a conspiracy against them because they can not conceive other explanations.

We are starting to see the society reaction to these people and a correction, but it will take a while. We are still in the 70's but luckily already heading towards the 80's.

Get yourself an electric or a double edge safety razor and save a shit ton of money as well as lower your carbon foot print.

I don't get their message here? Perhaps just a very poorly executed way of saying how fathers are so selfless they'll help their daughters / wives thus making the day 'her' day??

NekoiNemo 5y ago

Message as i see it: "Fathers don't matter, and even on Father's Day you should really still celebrate the mother"

Quintrell 5y ago

It’s a shirt for a dad with a daughter/daughters. This is not referencing the wife

ohgawdwhyme456 5y ago

This made me angry

Quintrell 5y ago

95% of the people shot and killed by cops every year are male and this sub is focusing on a t-shirt related to a greeting card holiday? What a joke.

If there were ever a time when the MRM could gain some respect and validity in the eyes of the mainstream public, it’s now, in relation to police violence. But no, here y’all are whining about a shirt that references a dad giving his daughter attention on a dumb holiday

-7

Lethn 5y ago

There were continuous posts about that topic for the past couple of weeks and people brought this very point up as a counterpoint to all the BLM crap, you brigaders are so fucking obvious now and are barely hiding it. You're basically angry that people on this sub aren't devoting every waking second to virtue signalling.

AnspiffanyStilts 5y ago

Where would someone get an idea like this for a shirt? It made me laugh, but the fact that someone out there may have wanted to buy this and believe it is the scary part.

kingjohn1919 5y ago

I read this shirt ironically, like "we live in a society" and they're supporting us on Father's day...but that being said, we do live in a society, and I am most likely completely wrong

redveinlover 5y ago

Fuck Old Navy, I have never shopped there since this happened. I also do not give Gillette any of my business either. "Woke" culture does not benefit from my wallet.

xsnyder 5y ago

In that case, you need to boycott all of Proctor & Gamble since they own Gillette.

EvanDaGr8 5y ago

The sexist part is that they’re trying to make Father’s Day a female thing for absolutely no reason and it’s really disrespectful to all the hard working dads out there. Females already have Mother’s Day so there’s absolutely no reason to fuck with Father’s Day.

nathanielsnider 5y ago

It's kinda hard to tell

Basically:

It's
^(really)
Father's
Day

So instead of "it's fathers day" they're saying "it's really her day"

Vivez_Rapidement 5y ago

Oh that makes perfect sense, thx dude

nathanielsnider 5y ago

I can definitely see what you're saying
