Lands' End Apologizes For Interviewing Gloria Steinem in Catalog

Apparently, Lands' End has become a feminist catalog as their CEO interviewed Gloria Steinem. Excerpt:

'Clothing retailer Lands' End is in hot water after it published an interview with political activist Gloria Steinem in its spring catalog, prompting outrage from some customers.

Steinem, a feminist icon, was interviewed by Lands' End CEO Federica Marchionni for the company's "Legend Series," which it says features people "who have made a difference in both their respective industries and the world at large."

The interview was removed from the Lands' End website after customers overwhelmed the company's Facebook page with complaints about interviewing an abortion rights supporter.

"Those of us who love family, love children, are completely puzzled why you would promote a very vocal pro abortion celebrity," one customer wrote. "Are you anti-child? You want to kill off possible future customers?"

In a statement emailed to NBC News, Lands' End said: "We greatly respect and appreciate the passion people have for our brand. It was never our intention to raise a divisive political or religious issue, so when some of our customers saw a recent promotion that way, we heard them. We sincerely apologize for any offense.'

Back in 2002, Lands' End published a story that I wrote about as "Lands' End prints "Rosie the Riveter" story with feminist twist. What I wrote is still available at Men's Issues Online at here.
