WCU Students Seek Public Apology

 

Students rallied at West Chester University on Wednesday to protest the sale of a six-inch inflatable "perfect female specimen" doll at the campus bookstore and ask for a public apology from the school. About 40 students turned out to discuss the doll, which was pulled from the bookstore's shelves Friday after it was discovered by a student and shared online. The doll's package shows a cartoon of a woman in her underwear and reads, "Inflate for an instant date!" Some students said the product, which instructs the user to punch the doll in order to make it blow up, objectifies women and promotes violence.
