A punching bag for women....

I'm glad this was withdrawn from a store in Scotland...but why on earth do they make such things????

A LEADING retailer has pulled a women's boxing set from sale after complaints from a support group for male domestic violence victims.

It said the set's man-shaped inflatable punch bag encouraged women to hit men.

ManKind Initiative wrote to Superdrug's managing director calling for the £9.99 product to be withdrawn.

The Hers Boxing Set comes in pink packaging and, as well as the man-shaped punch bag, contains a pair of boxing gloves.

ManKind complained that owners were encouraged to insert photos of a man for the bag's face; also that a picture on the packaging shows an arrow pointing to a man's groin saying "kick him here".

Mark Brooks, the support group's chairman, said the fact that Superdrug did not sell a like product for men suggested that domestic violence against men was more acceptable.
