Consumers creeped out by Target's 'tuck-friendly' women's swimwear: 'Shopping elsewhere'
Attached File Attached File Some consumers are condemning Target for selling women’s style swimsuits that advertise "tuck-friendly construction" to hide male genitalia. While Bud Light made headlines recently for a marketing gimmick with a transgender activist, Target has a history of being at the forefront of woke identity politics. The retailer sparked a boycott in 2016 after it posted a public statement declaring that "transgender team members and guests" are permitted "to use the restroom or fitting room facility that corresponds with their gender identity." Target has had June Pride Month displays with rainbow and LGBTQ+ messaging for years, but the addition of female-style swimsuits that can be used to "tuck" male genitalia has outraged many online. The products, which can be found in a special pride section in stores, are also labeled as "Thoughtfully fit on multiple body types and gender expressions." Comedian Chrissie Mayr tweeted two photos of a one-piece swimsuit in the store, showing a tag indicating its "tuck-friendly construction" and "extra crotch coverage." "Thanks to @Target I found the perfect swimsuit for creeping out all the women and children at the pool this summer," she joked. "Can’t wait to tuck my c--- into this little number while sipping a Bud Light!" "No real woman would be caught dead in that swimsuit, it’s hideous. It’s exactly what a dude pretending to be a woman would wear," Mayr told Fox News Digital. "The only thing I’ll be tucking is my money back into my wallet and shopping elsewhere. What an obnoxious virtue signal from Target. And it’s not even June yet." Author of "Gender Madness" Oli London slammed the swimsuit as well. "Target is just the latest brand that has gone woke and made an ill-fated decision to alienate its customer base by pushing gender ideology into the faces of consumers," he wrote. "Only 0.6% of the population identify as trans so why is Target pushing these swimwear costumes with ‘tuck friendly’ designs and selling them in prime locations in their stores? The majority of men and Target customers do not want to ‘tuck’ their penis into a women’s swimming costume. I’m sure most men would find this uncomfortable and emasculating to say the very least." He noted further that selling such products may have financial consequences for the company. "It’s also completely out of touch and offensive to women who once again are being mocked openly so Target can get a perfect score on the woke Corporate Equality Index (CEI)," London said. "No doubt Target will be getting the Bud Light treatment from its customers, many of which have been outraged by the Pride Collection featuring clothing with gender ideology slogans for babies and toddlers." |

Fuck anyone who says boycotting business is a bad idea. It's the only weapon here. Only. |

Clown world. I already refuse to shop there because they are a shitty retailer. This is just icing on the cake.

Women created these Frankensteins, now they get to live with them.
Demand a culture of weak men, complain when they get weak men. |

Y'all do remember it was Target that opened women's restrooms to mentally ill men playing at being a woman a few years ago, right? Why anyone with even the most basic morals would support them is beyond me.
|

I'd prefer a open fly that just let's little Danted hangout rather then tucked... would that be offensive?
|

If demand is that high for those to be made and on the rack.
Just go’s to show 80% of todays Ute’s are indeed gay. |

I wonder if Target employees would say anything if I moved all of the duct tape next to the men pretending to be women swim suit section.

If women (real women) would boycott Target (and other woke businesses) like a hot can of Bud Light this bullshit would stop.
Women (real women) have the power to stop this bullshit if they choose too. |

Maybe she misunderstood. It has extra crotch area and tuck area to tuck the roast beef lips in. Disgusting.

Well they did claim recently they lost 1.2 billion in profits to theft. Hopefully it'll be much worse this year between theft and boycotts

Quoted: One of my theories about women is that many have conflicting "feelz" that are un-resolvable, that being one of them.

My ex wants it all and nothing at all, its infuriating when they take out their internal conflict on you. Its why I'm not sure if my ex was a true narcissist or just an "extra" 21st century American woman |

LOL.
It's funny how people get their panties in a wad (no pun intended) over things that they aren't even going to purchase or affects them anyway. Karen really needs a different hobby. |

Looking past the swimsuits, the comedian that posted that is very not guilty.

For 0.05 of the population? Strange fad. |

View Quote Nearly 2000 Target stores will stock hundreds of these products each to sell to a dozen people. They will lose money on each unit on paper. Just like target's shoplifting problem which they do nothing about, the cost of these "losses" are payed by you in the form of higher prices. So, virtual signaling affects the reliable customer, not the pandered-to non-customer. |
