«Breaking News» Tesco sparks sexism row

Customers have accused Tesco of sexism after it created a segregated aisle for girls' toys.   

A shopper called out the supermarket giant for 'gender bias' after spotting the 'Girls Toys' sign in the Tesco Extra store in St Leonards on Sea, East Sussex.

And social media users have now slammed the store for both sexism and poor grammar, noting workers failed to use an apostrophe in the sign.

Rob Lowe called out the supermarket giant for 'gender bias' after spotting the 'Girls Toys' sign

Hundreds of social media users waded into the debate - accusing Tesco of both sexism and poor grammar

Rob Lowe took a picture and posted the image online with a complaint about 'gender bias'. 

But many pointed out that there should be an apostrophe after the 's' in the plural possessive, 'Girls' Toys'.

Mr Lowe took the picture on December 9 and posted it with the caption: 'Come on Tesco. This isn't really acceptable anymore.

'My daughter loves unicorns and dolls. She also loves robots, dinosaurs, rockets, monsters and Lego. Don't make me have to reassure her that this is ok.' 

Television writer Donna Franceschild claimed the lack of an apostrophe was further evidence of sexism.

She tweeted: 'Plus, how is she supposed to get to grips with English grammar if Tesco omits the crucial apostrophe indicating the possessive?

'Perhaps they don't think girls should be worrying their pretty little heads about that.'

Rob said he was 'frustrated' with the apostrophe 'because it distracts from the real issue of gender bias in society'.

He added: 'Boys and girls are encouraged to perform certain roles and seemingly small things like signs, toys, colours and clothes make a real difference to their life choices.'

The sign was spotted in the Tesco Extra store in St Leonards on Sea, East Sussex

Hundreds of people on Twitter waded into the debate.  

@lonearrangeruk responded: 'More concerned about the lack of apostrophes then any other feigned outrage. Seriously. Do you think they have patrols on the aisles?

@steeliebobs wrote: 'Yes, it's absolutely disgraceful. The world's gone mad, where the heck is the damned apostrophe?' 

@mike36l posted: 'Well said Rob if they just left the sign saying toys it would have been acceptable for all.'

@mamtasinghal2 added: 'They are just toys. We don't want gender specific toys.'

@Brown1977Ben said: 'I agree couldn't they have put toys instead of making it a boy or girl thing.'

@KateLlewellyn1 wrote: 'As a girl whose favourite toys have always been game boys, playstations etc. This needs to stop. Girls' toys aren't as fun anyway.'

Tesco have been contacted for comment.

And social me...

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
