A WOMAN has slammed a pair of 'sexist' cards where the women's version suggests they should be bought flowers while men should get a sandwich.
Natasha Hodgson took to Twitter to vent her fury after coming across the £1.95 cards, coloured pink for the girls and blue for the boys.
Ahh yes the two sides of heterosexuality, commerce and toil pic.twitter.com/0mFnufFxEV
The girl's version said "you're the kind of girl I'd buy flowers for", while the boy's version says "you're the kind of boy I'd make a sandwich for".
Natasha, a singer, actor and writer, shared a photo of the cards on Twitter and wrote: "Ahh yes the two sides of heterosexuality, commerce and toil."
Sold by sellers Lola & Gilbert on NotOnTheHighStreet, the cards are described as "fun" and "cute" ways to express your feelings for someone.
The blue card's description says: "Show how much you think of a certain boy with the brilliant greeting card!"

A third said: "Why don't they just put the flower thing on the boys one too instead of being sexist flowers are cool bro and a valid way of showing affection."
