An 'empowerment’ oriented clothing brand has stopped selling its “girl power” T-shirts after a report revealed they were being made by exploited women in a sweatshop in Bangladesh. But at least the cotton they used was organic?

F= said that there was a “huge demand” for the shirts, even getting celebrity endorsements from TV presenter Holly Willoughby and former Spice Girl Emma Bunton.

    Maybe that's why rich White Western Women prefer Third World Mexican and Asian Women to care for their Little Darlings, cook, and clean for them - at slave wages paid via cash.

    The Plantation mentality is still alive at the higher income levels of American Society.
