MADISON, Wis. (AP) — The U.S. Navy has scrapped a recruiting mailer that promised women they could join while staying in touch with their feminine side.

Navy officials said Tuesday they made the decision amid criticism that the wording was condescending and perpetuated stereotypes.

The mailer says the Navy offers women opportunities “most girls aren’t even aware of” in career areas that “aren’t just for the guys… all while staying in touch with your feminine side.”

The mailer went out to about 202,900 people across several states, including Colorado, Florida, Illinois, Michigan, Texas, Utah and Wisconsin.
