Dorothy Perkins

Who 'her'?

I have had a deletion on the first page. Goodness knows what for...I am sure I did not misgender Darcie because , other than JY , I never do.

Marguerita IIRC you quoted the preceding post, also deleted. Did you quote the bit referring to her as an abuser? I don't think it can have been your post which was an issue.

Either that or one of the mods is an aspiring stand up comic and they took offence at your dislike for that particular art form :-)

Darcie strikes me as an individual with a lot of time on their hands to think about themselves.

Perhaps getting out a bit more might help - they've just had a lovely hundred quid windfall, so, they could take a wee trip to DPs for a new frock. That's nice. And now that there's precedent, they could get changed in the single sex space and feel all validated. How cheering for them.

That twitter feed. It's just embarrassing.

It is a very difficult situation to deal with, and that's in good part why women's boundaries are being eroded so successfully. Women are socialised not to upset people, it's embarrassing for everyone when an obvious male has to be told they shouldn't be using a woman's space, and the majority of women would probably rather have other women quietly and angrily leave than deal with an obviously dodgy male kicking off at them. Men having tantrums is a scary experience and many women know well the risks of ending up being thumped by one.

This sums it up. ^

I have had a deletion on the first page. Goodness knows what for. I think it was a post where I said I didn't find any of Darcie's act funny but qualified that by adding that I don't find any stand- up funny and mentioned that for example that I don't think Hannah Gadsby is funny either.

I am sure I did not misgender Darcie because , other than JY , I never do.

Man body. Its ‘man body’. Can’t argue with biology or genetic-a surely.

I'm laughing at the deletion I've had - I can only imagine it was the use of 'male bodied' because the only other thing I said was that Dorothy Perkins was rather frumpy when I visited yesterday. So maybe 'male bodied' is a banned term now? Or have we got new guidelines that say we can't make generalizations on the frumpiness of a whole clothing shop?

Bwahahahahaha!

You’re all just Crypto fascists! (Red dwarf) 😭 😭 😭 boo boo I’m very very special don’t you know.

Someone has mommy/daddy issues.

"Terfs! Bigots! Racists! Homophobes!"

How very predictable.

Who exactly made the decision to humour diddums? The speed would indicate it was some dingbat acting on their own ‘initiative’ haha.

Argh, this thread (and the Dorothy Perkins response) has given me the rage. If they decide to prioritise the sexual kinks of a male (who has already admitted they like to use women's changing rooms for sexual thrills) over the safety and dignity then they have lost my custom too. I am a mum of two daughters. I have two sisters and four nieces too. Will be spreading the word that Dorothy Perkins is no longer safe for women and girls and will be writing to them

I am compiling a draft letter to DP and Josie Green regarding this. I feel they should compensate every women made to feel uncomfortable in the presence of a man. And to snure they are aware of the EA 2010. What an utter shit show!

Self PR gone wild huh?

Link to twitter account has been taken down

My post was sarcastic in case anyone is wondering what I said. Its obviously NOT the full story, just one side and now hidden the page as can't take the heat.

Grrrrrr! Definitely getting boycotted by me in future. Way to run an already struggling women's clothes shop

Josie should be ashamed of themselves. Throw women under a bus why don’t you? Anyone who knows this person deffo know which side she (I assume but who the hell knows these days).

Simple maths - keep a very few people happy ( who more than likely don’t shop there anyway) or loss off womankind, who do shop there. Oh that’s a toughie isn’t it Josie?

So they know that this is a male bodied person, who may be transdoodah or a character actor, and who makes jokes about paedophilia and bestiality - and gets their jolllies around schoolgirls and ladies changing room. And they get £100 for hurty feelings?

Yeah, it’s ugly, punch-down humour. I did laugh a bit but felt pretty repulsed by it in general.

Will be giving DP a miss; I cannot abide companies who put (often junior, female) members of staff in this position then throw them under the bus. Their ops manager should have got behind the employee who made the right call.

With Arcadia Group closing 23 stores this year due to challenging retail conditions, they may want to consider who their core sales demographic is.

Arcadia brands for anyone wishing to avoid them www.arcadiagroup.co.uk/brands

So Dorothy Perkins have not only apologised, they’ve compensated this person to the tune of £100 and grovelling stated it won’t happen again.
