here is the thread

A MNr began the thread when she came across This monstrosity

Someone else googled and found it in this shop.

Please can you lot email the shop? I have sent an email explaining why they need to remove it from their stock. Can you lot too?

Still on sale here and www.fabandfunky.co.uk/acatalog/when-a-lady.html and at an extortionate price Shock

great thread! heartening responses from the retailers.
I've just come from another (quickly deleted, well done MNHQ) thread where a troll was putting forward his "rapes are mostly false reports" ideology.

this has cheered me up.

Well done everyone. Fantastic result.

Great response from little timbers. Really pleased with this result. On another note, I've never seen the feminist board before, I will be back!

Temporal Interiors are withdrawing it from sale and say they have forwarded the complaints to the manufacturer.

See, probably no point in bothering with the factory as they will just keep making them if they get orders from shops etc. Let's just be strident whenever we see them on sale.

Ok, well I've found and emailed a couple more today, then found this.

I want to know who the manufacturer is.

LineRunner · 27/02/2013 19:34

I think to be fair to the factory we ought to suggest some better slogans that people will buy.

Could the Pope please hand the key to the Vatican Bank to Mary Beard on his way out.

LuisGarcia · 27/02/2013 17:56

They've lost 2 clients. The alligator pear one seems to have been withdrawn too.

Yes I was thinking though, they've already lost one client...in Dasiy Interiors...but they must sell them all over the world I suppose.

Yes...let's unearth them all....and if we can find the factory so much the better. We can do them a favour by letting them know how offensive the sign is. And suggest some more suitable homilies to use.

CardinalRichelieu · 27/02/2013 17:02

They have taken it down? Victory is ours.

Now to keep a look out for any more of them/any other misogynistic bullshit and kick up a similar fuss.

Yes, this is how I spend my free time (and even some of my working time).
