If you're going to make a girl-targeted shirt that suggests the wearer should be *cleaning* you might want to prepare yourself for some backlash.

The pink shirt has attracted the ire of Ninac Ollins, who is asking Target why they're selling a shirt that reinforces unwanted stereotypes about women.
