Where does it mention women, specifically?
Exactly, it’s not specific to women. And swim wear can be a big maternal swimsuit if you want, or a fully bodied wetsuit.
Nobodies putting a gun to your head to go.
Stop being offended by everything.
Mine Speedos and floral swim cap at the ready !

No gender = not sexist, just tacky….. yeah?
Could Muslim women not wear their burkini? Certainly not gender specific some people want to get over themselves
TK MAX. The only shop in Ireland where the size Xl equals small medium. Still, they can’t go too far wrong with swim wear.
TK MAXX don’t make clothes.
They do. They put different labels on them so it looks as if you are not buying in house TK MAXX but they make probably half of what is in the shop. There was a BBC thing on it.
Yup.
More than half of the “labels” are TK Maxx only brands.
Can I go along wearing my wetsuit?
So if a Muslim chooses not to wear a bikini then that some how means tk are racist! Also as stated already it does not say women only.
How is it sexist? It doesn’t specify women or men. It literally has no relation to sexism. Just typical PC Brigade looking for something to moan about.
Stop crying with this petty poo, Anne. There is bigger problems in Ireland and the world.
She’s three real racist by prejudging all Muslims by assuming they won’t wear swimwear.
So long as there’s no breach of elf and safety I didn’t see a problem here
Bit touchy there.. It also doesn’t say only your swimwear. Any money says if you arrived with the speedos over your jeans you’re getting the voucher. You read so much into that, that wasn’t there. Relax the kaks
actually Anne Marie O’Connor is the culturally insensitive one here for perpetuating the stereotype that ALL muslim women adhere to the hijab. Go to Istanbul, Beirut, Dubai or Sarajevo and you will see muslim women who dress the same as Anne even on the beach
Would prefer not to thanks
No, no… you must not offend the fundamentalists!
Oh FFS. People need to get over themselves and stop trying to be so righteous for attention.
Sexism against… Islam?
I’m confused.
Sexslam
Is that like Summer Slam? WWF-Shtyle?
Nice tweet from Anne Marie yesterday…
“Unless Caitlyn Jenner gets her mickey stitched back on, I don’t particularly want to read any more news stories about her.”
Haha, she’s some tool :)

Everything’s possible these days..
Sure everyone’s gay now
She hasn’t had it lobbed off yet and has no intention to so she can’t have it stitched back on
Stop being offended by everything! Just wear ur bikini OVER a t-shirt & jeans :) or a wetsuit
Or, alternately, you could just wear it under your clothes for kicks.
Yeah, much fun as it is being a righteous intersectional feminist, this is neither sexist nor racist.
So Muslims don’t go to the beach or wear swimwear? Google Islamic Swimwear and see what comes up.
maybe we should ban swimming pools , women playing sport or driving ,music and all art depicting humans just in case it annoys some fundamentalist Saudi clerics.
*lots of nodding heads from Broadsheets Saudi readers*
It’s not even a case of Islamic swimwear. I think she needs to investigate whether (gasp) Muslim women don’t necessarily follow all Muslim rules. It’s not a monolith!
More water
Down with this sort of thing.
I’ve seen queues for packets of powdered soup on Mary St, so if you asked to wear your lover as a hat, you’d still get people turning up.
With the influx of many nationalities over the years we’ve picked up some nice words that deal with outrages such as this, one of my faves, from the Polish, says it all, tuffpooski.
Polish people don’t say that, you’re just being xenophobic.
God, get over yourself!!! Where does it mention women?!
Looking around it would seem the Outrage Achievement has still been unlocked. Ye’ve all been bugs bunnied.
Methinks broadsheet knew what it was doing with this one! :-)
Now I’m off to picket my local swimming pool…..
Er, if anyone, male or female, happens to swim in a super-modest, all-over-body wetsuit-plus-gimp-mask ensemble, they can partake?
You’ll ruin your hair with that gimp mask.
Alright move along Volks, nothing to see here.
Ma’am, I’m afraid I’m going to have to book you for wasting police time.
muslim? Haha This person is some wally. Does she get offended by banks charging and paying interest too? Or restaurants offering deals during the day time during Ramadan? I could go on, but nah….
But I am wearing my swimming suit under my clothes,it’s the same one as my birthday suit,now can I have the voucher.
Nice plus size model in the ad tho. Lovely.
Why can’t they use a fit person as a model, I’m a bit fed up with the pro-fatty propaganda. No we are on course to be the fattest nation.
Of course I’m not fattist, you’re fattist.
She is well fit mate
She’s lovely ya spanner :)
I swim in the nip.
Oooh plus sized models.. how cool
That’s plus size?? A 10+ maybe.
Anne Marie O’Connor: One of the biggest losers of the Irish Twitterati scene. Move on.
Next thing you know they will be using actual women to promote sanitary pads
