Two-year-old girl bursts into tears after finding out Spider-Man shoes are only for boys
As young children many of us fantasise about becoming our favourite superheroes.
However, one little girl’s dreams were dashed when a pair of Spider-Man shoes caught her eye at the Target supermarket, only to find out that the footwear was targeted solely at boys.
Sharing her story on Twitter, her father Qasim Rachid explained how upset she had been upon the discovery and expressed his own dismay over the situation.
The father of three said she broke down at a branch of the shop in Virginia.
His two youngest started arguing when his daughter became envious of her older brother’s Spider-Man shoes, he said.
“Hey @Target I bought my four-year-old son Spider-Man shoes and now my two-year-old daughter wants Spider-Man shoes too,” Mr Rashid, an author and attorney, wrote on Twitter.
“But you don’t sell Spider-Man shoes that fit two-year-old girls. Even when I search for them - boys shoes are the only result. She’s crying now. It’s heartbreaking.”
