'We don't babysit, we parent too': Fathers blast company for selling a 'daddy-proof' baby onesie with INSTRUCTIONS for men
- A picture of a onesie has been posted online due to the slogan across the front
- The babygrow, believed to be sold in the US, says 'This shirt is daddy-proof'
- Fathers have taken to a forum to share stories of sexism and stereotyping
A onesie emblazoned with the slogan 'this shirt is daddy-proof' has sparked a fierce online debate by fathers who deem it sexist.
An upset father took to Reddit to post a picture of the children's onesie, which is on sale at US retailer Sara Kety and has instructions for fathers dressing their child.
The thread has garnered a lot of attention from parents who claim the product is belittling fathers and making out as if they are unable to properly dress their own child without the need of instructions.
The onesie (pictured above) has the slogan 'This shirt is Daddy-proof' on the front, along with instructions to how the child should be dressed, and men and women are blasting it as sexist
Men took to the comments section to sarcastically say that the shirt is funny 'because fathers aren't real parents.'
Others saw the forum as an opportunity to share their stories about the sexism and stereotyping that they encounter everyday when looking after their children without the mother present.
They say that women have simply assumed they are 'babysitting' rather than parenting their own child and being a 'good father'.
Some, however, simply thought some of the fathers were being 'sensitive' and that the item was a joke.
Baby and child 'snapsuit' retailer Sara Kety has been contacted for comment.
People took to the forum to share stories of the sexism they have encountered from people when they have been with their children and the mother hasn't been present
A lot of the fathers said that they were 'tired' of the comments they have received in public (stock image)
Others, however, said that the men were being 'sensitive' and that the onesie is simply a bit of fun
