In 2017, it seems like you just can’t do anything right. Victoria Beckham discovered this the hard way when she shared artwork of her 6 year old daughter Harper on Instagram and people freaked out. Here is the “offensive” artwork that was done by Victoria and her daughter:

See that horrific statement?

Me either.

But people online were upset because Beckham was promoting the idea that boys and girls are different, and girls have to act in a certain way. Yes, really…. and all because of this poem, “Boys are made of slugs, snails, puppy dog tails. Girls are made of sugar, spice, all things nice.”

Here are the details from the Daily Mail:

The six-year-old’s sketch – which included lines from the old nursery rhyme about girls being made of ‘sugar, spice, and all things nice’ – prompted some followers to criticise the former Spice Girl, 43, for her parenting methods, insisting it amounted to promoting ‘harmful’ gender stereotypes.

Harper had decorated a piece of card with a quote from the nursery rhyme ‘What are Little Boys Made Of?’ which says boys are made of ‘frogs and snails’ while little girls are made of ‘sugar and spice and all things nice’.

Furious Instagram users said the rhyme was ‘harmful’ to little girls because it suggests they must be sweet, while boys are allowed to be naughty.

It’s hard to keep up with all the rules of political correctness, isn’t it? Well, I — for one — think the artwork is sweet… and I really wish that the perpetually upset people online would at least take a break for Christmas.
