"It's not rape, it's a snuggle with a struggle"

It tastes tasteless: In a supermarket in the Philippines, a T-shirt was sold, to which we really lack the words.

Of all the absurd T-shirts (remember: the Zara KZ-shirt or the Urban Outfitters amok shirt ), which are currently finding their way into the sale for some unknown reason, are starting to get pretty bad. But what the Asian supermarket chain SM Supermalls has dared, is still on top.

On a T-shirt in the boys department (!) Of the supermarket, author Karen Kunawicz found the inscription " It's not rape, it's a snuggle with a struggle " (roughly "It's not an adulteration, it's cuddling with some resistance "). That same evening, she posted a photo of the shirt on her Facebook page and confronted the supermarket.

This was followed by a half-baked statement in the morning as usual, which showed that such a behavior would of course not be tolerated and that the T-shirts would have been taken out of the sale. Of course, one would also go in search of the culprit. Apparently, SM Supermalls does not even know exactly which supplier the T-shirt came from.

This tasteless textile effusion is not only an insult to all victims of sexual violence, but also to every little boy who has to run around in it. We're wondering who does it, and when does labels finally get more control over their designs?
