River Island has removed an ‘anti nag gag’ novelty item after coming under fire on Twitter for the ‘sexist’ product over the bank holiday weekend, Telegraph Wonder Women has learned.‘The Domestic Anti Nag Gag’ - a football on a string, intended to go in a woman’s mouth to ‘gag’ her - was labelled sexist and offensive after being shared on Twitter.Jenny Bede, actor and comic, shared a photo of the item to her 4,833 followers after spotting it in a River Island shop over the weekend.She tweeted it to the Everyday Sexism project, which has 142,000 followers, and it has since been retweeted around 200 times.Users have written comments such as “shocked and now NOT shopping at River Island again” and “I’m showing my girls & instigating a boycott.”Bede later tweeted: “Please keep tweeting @RiverIslandPR about this absolute atrocity they're selling.”The ‘anti nag gag’ was on sale on River Island’s website, for £4, until this morning when the company decided to remove it from sale, after calls from Telegraph Wonder Women.A River Island spokesman told Telegraph Wonder Women: “Please note the aforementioned item is being removed from sale and is being taken off the website as we speak,” but was unable to comment further.The item is also due to come out of shops shortly.The product, which is not designed in house, shows a woman’s face calling out phrases such as: “Have you put the bins out?”, “Turn the footy off!” and “It’s your turn to do the dishes!”A silhouetted man is pictured saying: “Will you put a sock in it!”One Twitter user JoJoSmith wrote: “it's more the idea of guys being encouraged to forcibly gag their partners that upsets me.”Another user, gemancipation, wrote: “Astonishing. There just aren’t words to express the ignorance at work here.”But some users justified the gag saying it was clearly meant to be a joke and was not intended to be sexist.User Musty Habibi wrote: “Why are all these feminist birds getting annoyed? It’s called a joke.”River Island's website also sells other novelty products, such as a ‘novelty inflatable beach boob’ which shows a woman holding a ‘beach boob’ saying: “Hey boys! Wanna come play with my boobie?"Another novelty gift is an ‘Irish Accent Mouth Spray’ that promises to “radically [change] the way you speak” after “one quick spritz.”UPDATE at 11.56am: River Island sent us an official statement, saying: "As soon as this product was brought to our attention we withdrew it from sale and removed it from our website."(telegraph.co.uk)Bakudaily.az
