Annoying - dove is one of the very few things I can use on my dodgy skin without reacting to it. Advert is giving me hives though!! Grin

You know what really annoys me though?

You NEVER see a FTT person flogging Lynx deodorant or any other product whatsoever on TV, or opining on what it is to be a "real dad" in the media, or presenting Top Gear, or taking up a place in a male refuge, or winning Man of the Year.

It is always women that are displaced, never men.

Fortunately the smell of Dove makes me gag, and it brings me out in a nasty rash (probably not a real enough mum!)

Dammit

I like their deodorant, might need to find another one

I haven't watched the advert yet...is it mentioned in passing or made a big deal?

Will look at it later

I have written to them directly with a formal complaint and also mentioned it on Twitter on their account - I am so offended and will never buy their products again

Entire DF reached peak trans and are boycotting Dove. Thanks Dove!

I note that the real mum in that couple didn't get a mention, much less have anything to say. All those mothers showing how they are bucking the system, and then the 'trans-mum' reinforcing the system.

The problem is, Dove is buying into the system wholesale in making the product in the first place. They are trying their hardest to not look like that, but in this ad they failed.
