Paris Lees and Pantene?

God it’s so tedious. Here we are, us old gender critical birds faithfully chipping away at the “femininity = swishy hair /high heels / perfect make up” bullshit and then TRAs arrive on the scene to tell us exactly that “femininity = swishy hair /high heels / perfect make up” and undo all the work we’ve done protesting that shit. No wonder we’re pissed off.

Paris hates older women and was convicted of a violent offence ( Male pattern violence) when they were younger. So not like a woman. FUCK THIS SHIT. We are being gaslighted on every single level right now and this is just yet another product to boycott just like Budweiser, Wagamama, Primark, Topshop, Ocado etc etc

Pantene always struck me as a bit cheap anyway, the sort of thing you buy in Home Bargains, so not like being the face of Chanel is it.

But isn't that what they are hoping for by hiring Paris as their 'face' or more accurately 'hair'.

Pantene has never been considered cool in the past. I really doubt it is now.

I think what Munroe said about racism was probably the most sensible thing I've heard from Munroe. I'm not convinced they fully understood it though, as there are very obvious parallels to be drawn with sexism.

Pantene will know what market they are aiming at.

Probably young cool and woke. Probably not me, who only ever bought it when there was a BOGOF at Sainsbury's. I guess they know what they are doing, and will make money.

It's the utterly stupid comment about women and hair, so much so that I with my short mop of wiry grey hair am obviously a bloody man then.

It's so fucking sexist isn't it?

Being a woman is all about having long, swishy hair extensions apparently.

I think pl is a v risky choice. And actually not because it's a trans person but because it's pl!!

Isn't Pantene that fakey stuff which makes your hair look shiny because it's coated in plastic but actually it's shit?

Quite the clued-up choice then.

Would Pantene accept those types of comments from one of their own employees? If not then they have poor judgment and double standards.

See if Jason Momoa did the advert I wouldn't mind, thanks starjasmine for the pic.
I dont even care much that Paris is doing the campaign. It's the utterly stupid comment about women and hair, so much so that I with my short mop of wiry grey hair am obviously a bloody man then.

I don’t have any problem with this. Paris has said some questionable things in the past but I actually agree it’s good for trans people to be visible and represented.

dpwm Munroe bergdorf was selected for a L’oreal Campaign but then tweets of her saying all, yes all, white people are guilty of racial violence were publicised and she was let go.

When I think of Lees I think of their revolting ‘eyefuck’ article. Do shampoo marketing people honestly not google things before they pay people to endorse their products?

Excellent news. Get more TRAs in the public eye, speaking up at length and in detail about what they believe in.

Munroe Bergdorf was my PeakTrans Person. Go Paris!

What happened with Munroe Bergdorf?

Yes I am sure they will. Paris has said so many anti feminist things. But I suspect the people pantene is aiming at, will be pretty forgiving of "gaffes" online.

There is no way they will risk what happened to Munroe Bergdorf, so Paris definitely will be keeping schtum about how Paris loves being treated 'like a piece of meat' and how they find catcalling sexy.

When this is promoted online I imagine Paris's memory will be jogged in the comments/tweets. Everything lasts forever on the internet.

in australia they pronounce it pan TEEN

Pantene is a cheap shampoo. Just googling this, it has got a fair bit of press. So probably worth it for Pantene for that alone.

Pantene crossed off my shopping list.

Okay maybe I am wrong about how well known Paris is to young people.

It's still not enough for me to think Pantene is a shampoo and not a sanitary towel.

Lees believes in extreme gender ideology, they describe themselves as an adult human female. it's like Pantene employing a fundamentalist Christian as a brand ambassador. their choice of course, but why would you want your brand associated with someone with seriously weird views?

Mind you, I know a young transwoman who is heavily into all the online stuff, the groups and videos etc, and who knows a surprising number of young transmen, but this person had never heard of Paris Lees. So Lees isn't that trendy.
