The costume of the sexy maid is pulled because

Maybe they did not think that through.

A "sexy" costume inspired by the book and Hulu series The servant's tale, as a result of online criticism, has forced fertile women to bear children for those in power.

The Yandy retailer had listed an outfit called "Red Maiden Brave Costume" for about $ 65. He included a short red dress and a fluid cape, as well as a white cap.

Some people on Twitter have not been impressed.

"WHHHHHHHYYYYYYYYYYYYY" a user tweeted.

"We are now beyond satire" another tweet read. "Sexy" Handmaid's maid's outfit.There's nothing like fighting patriarchy by sexizing a show about misogyny and rape. "

Yandy removed the suit from his site and posted a statement on Twitter on Thursday saying: "In the last few hours it has become clear that our" Yandy Brave Red Maiden Costume "is considered a symbol of the woman. 'an expression of women's empowerment is unfortunate, because it was not our intention on any level: our first inspiration for creating this piece has been to see its use in recent months as a protest image answer, backed by many personal stories we have received, we remove the suit from our site. "

The retailer also posted the statement on the page that had once featured the suit.

The holding of The Handmaid's Tale was used as a symbol of protest against women's oppression. Earlier this month, activists wore the red cape and white hoods at the confirmation hearings of Supreme Court candidate Brett Kavanaugh to oppose his views on abortion. .
