Trousers being sold by a British clothing store have sparked online outrage over their washing instructions that many claim are "sexist" and "below the belt".
Daily Telegraph journalist Emma Barnett said she was furious when she discovered the washing instructions on her boyfriend's beige chinos purchased from the Madhouse flagshop last month.
The care instructions were the usual "Machine wash warm. Inside out with like colors....Tumble dry medium" but also included an optional "Give it to your woman, it's her job".
Barnett posted the picture to her Twitter and within a short span of time, it was flooded with angry comments from users.
People vented their disgust toward the retailer using "#SexistTrousers" and vowing to never shop at the store again.
"Lately I can't tell which decade I'm living in. What brand are those trousers?! I can only assume that's a joke," a female user tweeted.
However, other users dismissed it as a joke. "Some people are so sensitive. It's a JOKE. And a great stunt," wrote one.
STATISTICS : Men do 29% of laundry each week. Only 7% of women trust their
husbands to do it correctly.
