A pop-up stand selling products that support UN charity " Girl Up " was taken down 20 minutes after being put there supposedly due to feminism being " too controversial ". Topshop are happy to sell t-shirts with " feminist " written on but this is too much for them?

Topshop are trying to sell fashion. Having a stall which uses liberal identity as a political fashion statement to reject the fashion clothing Top Shop are trying to sell rather looks like an own goal by whoever agreed to the book thing in the first place!

It's like having a stand saying 'don't buy clothes here, it'll do your street cred harm' in your shop window!!!!

I don't think it controversial. I think it hilarious that Top Shop didn't check what it was and just thought 'oooo we can flog some extra stuff by looking all feminist'!!!

Well, there we have it - feminism is "too controversial".

Fuck. This.
