This Sexist Passover Onesie Is Completely Ridiculous

So I was searching Etsy for afikomen related objects for work. And I did see some beautiful things, but right up top I saw this puzzling onesie: “First you get the Afikomen. Then you get the power. Then you get the women.”

I think my entire reaction to this can be summed up as: “?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!”

Naturally, I posted it to Facebook, where my friends supported me in my confusion, and within 20 minutes someone had posted a clip from “The Simpsons” and someone else had explained it’s a quote from “Scarface” (with money instead of the afikomen, natch).

So, fine, this isn’t a weirdly sexist Passover onesie, it’s a weirdly sexist derivative Passover onesie.

Can we ask?

It's important to us to keep the warm, joyfully Jewish community on Kveller accessible for all. Reader donations help us do just that. Can you spare a few to keep Kveller free? (We'll love you forever.)

I am all for dressing babies in clever and sarcastic clothing, but can we put a moratorium on all baby clothing with the word boobies on it? Can we agree that infants might be a bit young for humor about how “women” are a life goal? Can we at least keep the sexist onesies from cross-pollinating with the Jewish onesies?

On the other hand, seeing this onesie did make me want to drink four cups of wine. So there’s that.
