Clothing retailer Forever 21 has pulled a T-shirt from its online store after customers complained that it promoted rape.
The T-shirt, which is still available in Forever 21 stores but is no longer listed on the website, reads: “Don’t Say Maybe if You Want to Say No.”
Customers flocked to social media to express their displeasure with the shirt:

Can't believe @Forever21 thought the #rape t-shirt was in any way, shape or form appropriate.
