German supermarket chain Edeka faced a wave of social media indignation Wednesday over a Mother’s Day online video clip ridiculing fathers’ parenting skills, with both men and women calling the film ‘sexist’.
The company told news agency DPA that “we didn’t want to portray fathers badly but, in a somewhat exaggerated and humorous way, say thank you to all mothers on Mother’s Day”. “This advertisement is sickeningly sexist and hateful,” charged Twitter user DerAltePoet, who pledged never to return to an Edeka store.
NassinMoruk argued that “if one were to make fun of mothers to the same extent, the outcry would be huge”.
