LONDON — A Gap advert sent out to UK customers has been causing a commotion on social media, after people deemed it "sexist."

The ad in question was first shared on social media by Twitter user Sabrina Golonka after she received Gap's email.

The email advertised a boys' tee featuring an image of Albert Einstein, which was captioned "the little scholar." Below the "little scholar" was an image of a girls' tee, captioned "the social butterfly".

Some people feel the ad promotes gender stereotypes.

Absolutely incredible. It's 2016, we have a skills & productivity crisis & @UKGap is perpetuating gender stereotypes https://t.co/bResWyUSUb — chi onwurah (@ChiOnwurah) July 31, 2016

What on earth... @UKGap @Gap?!!! Talk about some class A sexist stereotyping, aimed at kids. Very disappointing. pic.twitter.com/rQJtxIh2UP — Tina (@tinateeto) August 1, 2016

No wonder girls don't choose #STEM careers after they've been subjected to this rubbish growing up. Seriously!!! https://t.co/kfJ0NcrGKB — S-A Somerville (@S_A_Somerville) July 31, 2016

Others offered suggestions for a girls' T-shirt...

Thinking @UKGap should swap social butterfly for literary badass for alternative aspirations for girls. Maybe I'll mock one up. — Sam Missingham (@samatlounge) August 1, 2016

Gap's website does, however, feature a girls' T-shirt emblazoned with the word "genius," which might have been a nice addition in Gap's mailer. (Mashable has reached out to Gap for comment.)

It didn't end there, however.

There was a slight problem with Gap's "little scholar" T-shirt. Albert Einstein's name had been misspelled.

People on Twitter were quick to point out the irony.

Very good spot. Hilarious that @UKGap encourages scholars when they can't spell https://t.co/p8IL5htPep — Louie Waldock (@LouieJW2507) August 1, 2016

I know I'm just a "social butterfly" but it's spelt EINSTEIN @UKGap 🙄 https://t.co/lutTwXIljP — Lex (@WonderlandDoll) August 1, 2016

@UKGap get the flipping spelling correct if you're going to use it. #Numpties — Su Chapman (@Chappers44) August 1, 2016

Awkward!
