Fresh thread in case part 2 fills up overnight.
I am yet to receive a reply to my third email, have been furiously tweeting, and as am now pursuing the options available to me as a shareholder.
Still crossing fingers for John Lewis!

I'm so up for singing that. And I live in walking distance from JL, M&S and Debenhams

Would a boycott support thread help? Like the diet support threads on MN. Where we can kind of talk about daily difficulties /triumphs & hold each other accountable?

So often when we as women say "no" we are ignored, coerced or overpowered. We can at least say no by not spending.

What a fabulous festive ditty Numbers! Just brilliant.

Perhaps we could arrange some flash mob carol singing in store?

YourOpinionIsNoted · 16/11/2019 19:44

Fabulous work @NumbersStation Grin

TheChampagneGalop · 16/11/2019 19:42

I hate this situation with everyone and everything going woke but I love MN.
Very festive Numbers Grin

Good Queen Wenceslas looked out
On the feast of Stephen
Where the men just ruled the roost
Nothing was quite even

Brightly shone their eyes that night
Cos they were all woken
The women sat there open mouthed
Feeling rather bro-o-ken.

Hither page and stand by me
In your silken finery
What is all this wanking pish
I thought you were non-binary

Ma’am he said I have a cock
But I’m not one or ‘t’other
I have to get my essence out
Or else I’ll get in bo-o-other

Markies fell beside the fence
J-Lewis were no better
Debenhams have joined the ‘game’
All with the same letter

I have to play the game he said
Or else I’ll be their monkey
It is my orders to go forth and
Make the floors all spu-u-nky

So there we are my ladies fair
We are treated most unfairly
The men all in their ivory towers
Acknowledge us but barely

But think on all you sheepy boards
You soon will all be bawlin’
When we boycott all your stores and
Watch your share price fa-a-lin’

Woke feckers.

Take the bastard shame.

All these companies are able to access the same information that we can. They have no excuse to not understand the risks they are putting women and children under. They simply don't give a shit and are not listening.

No wonder the High Street is in decline when there are so many idiots in charge of the shops.

NumbersStation · 16/11/2019 18:58

See you Debenhams? Get it right up your wokehole.

YourOpinionIsNoted · 16/11/2019 18:53

Jesus Christ Debenhams.

HepzibahGreen · 16/11/2019 18:53

Fucksake Debenhams.

littlecabbage · 16/11/2019 18:47

Bad (but unsurprising) news from Debenhams:

I understand that you would like to know about our in-store changing room policy.

Upon checking with one of our stores, I can confirm that we do have separate changing rooms for females and males.

If a customer is comfortable using changing rooms of the opposite sex they can also use it.

YourOpinionIsNoted · 16/11/2019 18:21

It is a radicalisation portal, after all. And we thought it was just a nest of vipers. 🤷

NumbersStation · 16/11/2019 17:01

Who knew? Wink Grin

SingingLily · 16/11/2019 16:55

No worries, NumbersStation, I may be on the same cloud Smile

NumbersStation · 16/11/2019 16:53

Sorry. @SingingLily Am half asleep floating on a cloud of outrage Grin

SingingLily · 16/11/2019 16:45

Thank you, NumbersStation, but I was referring to Justabaker's post at 06.57 and the link to an article about a hormone kit for men. Sorry if my post didn't make that clear.

I agree with you about the ludicrous term "chestfeeding".

NumbersStation · 16/11/2019 16:41

And no one is working on a pill for growing a cock it seems. Because biological males are not to be belittled, demeaned or impersonated.

Not that we would.

Although I was fairly tempted to go and rub myself over every pair of boxers, briefs and yfronts in the land.but I won’t because I’m a decent human.

NumbersStation · 16/11/2019 16:37

No no no @SingingLily
Chest feeding not breastfeeding.

They’ve done a man term for it because we all know breasts are for their pleasure only. They don’t want babies sucking them dry.

We are only good enough for incubation and for providing orifices it would seem.

SingingLily · 16/11/2019 16:20

A hormone kit to allow biological males to breastfeed?

What will those hormones do to the development of the baby?

FGS. This is madness.

Akire · 16/11/2019 16:09

Yes but that the film taker will say they are female and then oh dear a women taking a film in the ladies we can’t possible do anything about that.

TimeLady · 16/11/2019 16:08

The next women who finds herself secretly filmed in a shop's changing room should crowdfund to sue the bejesus out of them, because the stores can't say they haven't been explicitly warned.

Our emails will be waiting as evidence.

NumbersStation · 16/11/2019 15:58

And the chest feeding your baby pish?

Speechless.

But I’m all for it. As long as men earn the right to feed their offspring only when they have given birth. Through their organ of self importance.
