A $168 men's sweater from J. Crew is going viral on X after MAGA conservatives claimed that only liberals would wear it.

MAGA fans are melting down over a $168 men's sweater from J. Crew with a fair-isle collar, claiming, in yet another example of the idiocy of the culture wars, that only liberals would actually wear it.

We know what you're thinking... Really?!


The sweater is a bubblegum-pink color, complete with pink, green and purple fair-isle.

The sweater is currently listed on the brand's website and can be seen below.

It garnered significant attention after Juanita Broaddrick, who once accused former President Bill Clinton of sexual assault and now moonlights as a culture warrior online, posted it along with the following exclamation:

"Are you kidding me?? Men, would you wear this $168 sweater?"

You can see her post below.

Conservatives immediately used her post as an opportunity to attack liberals.

However, pink used to be considered a boys' color.

For instance, in a June 1918 article in the trade publication The Infants’ Department, declared that pink is suitable for boys because it is a "stronger color":

“The generally accepted rule is pink for the boys, and blue for the girls. The reason is that pink, being a more decided and stronger color, is more suitable for the boy, while blue, which is more delicate and dainty, is prettier for the girl.”

According to dress historian Jo Paoletti, author of Pink and Blue: Telling the Boys from the Girls in America, the modern association of pink and blue with gender began to take shape in the 1940s.

Paoletti noted why it's important to understand the history behind these fashion trends:

“Hyper-gendered clothing is part of a system that creates anxiety in children, even those who might be quite content with their biological sex, but reject the cultural norms―for example, girls who are described as ‘tomboys.’"

Liberals were quick to mock their outrage because what's the big deal?

The MAGA fragility is off the charts.

The OU Student Who Got A Zero On Her Bible-Based Essay Was Just Honored By Republicans—Because Of Course

Samantha Fulnecky, the University of Oklahoma student who received a zero on a psychology essay about gender after using the Bible as her only source, was honored by the Oklahoma House of Representatives with a special "Citation of Recognition" this week after her complaint—which resulted in a transgender graduate student being placed on administrative leave—made headlines.

Fulnecky's instructor Mel Curth, a transgender woman, assigned her students a 650-word essay about how gender stereotypes impact societal expectations of individuals. Fulnecky instead wrote about what the Bible says about "traditional gender roles," arguing that to refer to them as "stereotypes" is "demonic."

A sycophant is a person who "acts obsequiously toward someone important in order to gain advantage." An acolyte is a "true believer who helps carry out orders like a henchman, sidekick, or disciple."

While the words often get used interchangeably, they don't mean the same thing.

Trump Dragged After Making Ridiculous Claim About Randomly Finding Billions On The 'Tariff Shelf'

President Donald Trump was criticized after he claimed to reporters this week that officials in his administration suddenly found $30 billion they "never knew existed"—located on what Trump referred to as the "tariff shelf."

Tariffs are a tax on imported goods, usually calculated as a percentage of the purchase price. While tariffs can shield domestic manufacturers by making foreign products more expensive, they are also used as a tool to penalize countries engaged in unfair trade practices, such as government subsidies or dumping goods below market value.
