Social media users have been saying that political correctness has gone too far after the latest Calvin Klein ad has been a step too far.

We’re not going to bother listing the brand responsible for publishing a pregnant, bare chested pregnant woman complete with beard and breast removal scars. It’s obvious to us that the brand responsible is seeking to both virtue signal to sell more of their over-priced knickers and boxers and at the same time wants to create a controversy around their brand to sell more clothes.

In their Mothers Day social media post which included a photo of the pregnant bearded woman with breast removal scars who now identifies as a man, the brand posted “​​Today, in support of women and mothers all over the world, we’re spotlighting the realities of new families. Roberto is due to give birth to his and Erika’s son Noah any day now.”

However, according to Yahoo, people have hit out at the brands “Mothers Day” campaign.

Anger at the advertisement was immediate with some noting they would ‘never buy from the brand again’.

Many comments said “men can’t get pregnant” and “women give birth not men”, with some calling to boycott the brand entirely.
