Next, a British fashion chain, is under scrutiny after some customers saw a girls’ T-shirt as sexist.
The shirt, which reads “With the Band,” drew criticism after some thought it belittled girls into only being groupies or fans, rather than able to be in the bands themselves, The Mirror wrote.

Next responded by saying that the T-shirt will remain on sale until it sells out.
We’d like to think that the T-shirt alludes to the many other, under-appreciated important roles surrounding live music, like tour manager, sound engineer, lighting person, etc.
