When I was a kid, tomboys were just tomboys. They weren’t lesbians in training wheels as some kooks would, today, have us believe if we were to give any credence to the “uproar” over Tide’s Hoodies & Cargo Shorts commercial.

AdFreak calls attention to the kerfuffle that has terms such as homophobic, lesbian, stereotypes and gender norms being tossed about. It’s all really very simple, people. We’ll break it down in easy-to-comprehend terms. Ready? It’s a fucking detergent commercial! Move on with your lives, people!
