Some days you cant even enjoy a string cheese without sexism getting you down.

Someone wrote in to Jezebel this week with an irritating observation about Galbani string cheese.

The 3 types of full fat cheese each have a different 'boy' string cheese cartoon character, but the low fat cheese character has been drawn as a girl, the anonymous tipster wrote. Wouldnt have noticed it at all except my 5yo daughter excitedly pointed it out and asked if we could get the girl cheese.

The tipster provided a photo, which matches up with the images of the cheese on the Galbani website -- all their string cheese and snack cheese products have a stereotypically male-looking cheese character, while the reduced-fat versions have a lady cheese person.
