Australia’s former chief scientist criticises department store Myer for selling a women’s T-shirt featuring the slogan “I’m too pretty to do math.” Across the outlets, the comment is framed as concern that the message discourages or trivialises women’s participation in mathematics and science-related fields. The former chief scientist describes the slogan as reflecting outdated ideas, suggesting it is offensive or undermines efforts to promote gender equality in education and STEM. The articles report that the criticism is directed at Myer’s decision to offer the product for sale. The coverage presents the issue as part of a wider debate about how clothing and advertising can reinforce stereotypes, particularly around women’s aptitude or interest in academic subjects like math. While the reports focus on the former chief scientist’s remarks, they do not provide details on Myer’s response or any changes to the product listing.
