Washington Post Writer Unhappy with Dog Costumes due to Gender Norms

Share this article

Apparently, dog costumes are something to be outraged about. Here’s what Breitbart wrote on the article:

In an article entitled “Is your dog’s Halloween costume sexist?” the Post’s business reporter Abha Bhattarai claims that the “glass ceiling appears to be firmly in place at PetSmart,” a pet store with a range of costumes for dogs.

Bhattarai bemoans that “career costumes labeled ‘male’ include firefighter and police officer, while female dogs can choose between a pink cowgirl costume and pink loofah.”
