An insurance company now wishes to lecture us

Can you link to the tweet implying she's drunk at work? I can't make head nor tail of the whole thing.

I’m afraid my sympathy for Katie is as real as my belief that people can change sex. 🤷🏻‍♀️ They may have given her permission to run that thread, but the words came out of her mouth, so to speak.

And also not just chucking her under the bus but implying she's drunk at work. It's the exact opposite of professional and completely unfair for a team manager to do to a junior colleague rather than accepting responsibility.

I'd be raging if I were Katie, the tweets from other members of the Aviva team show that this was an intentional strategy but rather than hold their hands up and admit to an appalling failure of common sense they're chucking her under the bus.

Can you just see ones with replies?

I don’t think they have actually deleted it because you can still get to it here: twitter.com/avivauk/status/1198992118913622019?s=21

But it’s not showing on their timeline so is it hidden? I don’t know enough about how Twitter works to understand how I can view it via the above link but not see it on their page!

I may be wrong... but have Aviva deleted the tweets referring to this whole shitstorm?

Have they not heard of screenshots and long long memories?

One of the Twitter posters hit the nail on the head, with this point.

I found it really interesting the way businesses, like Aviva, ignored LGB issues for all the years of struggle, just to coin in now. Bravo!

Funny how straight white male bodied people demanding things seems to have had a bigger reaction than all the LGB put together. Why...why... it almost suggests some sort of privilege. Now, what kind of privilege would that be, I wonder. 🤔

It's not my job to work out a tweet is tongue in cheek (it definitely seems that way from the rest of his tweets) but a professional large insurers, liking that? What the hell are they thinking?

Next time my family are choosing an insurance company, I won't choose one where they throw women under the bus so that men can take their place in sports, allow people to "Just DM us some details" to cancel a policy, have drunk people on their social media team and put energy into virtue-signalling instead of, you know, being a good insurer.

True, alias - but a check of his timeline confirms he's a v spoofy account.

How can we tell that tweet is tongue in cheek? It seems almost reasonable compared to some of the stuff I've seen trans 'women' say.

Ha - always amusing when people like a spoof tweet. Madigan did that once

What are they doing liking this tweet, too? It's clearly a tongue in cheek reply - do they believe the guy, that he has faced homophobia from women after he identified as a lesbian woman and wanted to take part in women's cycling?! Its just astounding that they blamed Katie's tweeting on her being drunk!

"I think Katie had a heavy night "

Who on this CO2 suffering planet represents their company like that? You are insurance company, you are meant to be boring and serious. You are not their mate, you are tweeting publicly. That has got to be one of the most unprofessional things I have ever seen.

Finally, a boycott I can join in on.

Building, contents, cars, and I think life but need to check, no weird shit so I won’t have a problem going elsewhere.

Is a day at work as a firefighter really a trigger for committing domestic-violence? Is it to do with the man being pumped so full of testosterone and feeling like he needs more power or something so he takes it out on his wife?

Tom is doing free advertising for MN. Marvellous. Carry on Tom. Welcome newcomers.

I hope none of that charity money they’re raising is going educate girls in developing countries or toilet blocks for females in developing countries, because of the high level of sexual abuse they suffer. That would be very transphobic!

It's them pesky women at mums net again. We just don't keep quiet do we? Oh and it's Tom again.

And "misandry" traceyracer - a made up word that us basically the equivalent of "cis" as a made-up word.

He has an obsession with "false accusations".

We’ve got home & multi car insurance with Aviva, I’ve been too lazy to shop around for the last few years but that is going to have to change. Once these companies have been stonewalled there is no going back.

Tom is your common or garden MRA.

Here he is really not liking dv charities pointing out facts about events triggering dv against women (hint: football teams losing is another one) - or that firefighters fighting bushfires are allowed to kick seven bells out of their wives when they get home- not entirely sure which angle he's arguing here.

And here he is calling feminists "fat, grumpy dykes" - incidentally, the woman he said this to is on the TRA side of the debate, so he's not choosy about which women he insults.

See his timeline for numerous other examples of his woman-hating.

I'm so going to say I'm a woman if I ever get an annuity from Aviva.

Before 2012, a woman would get a lower rate for an annuity (because women live longer), so it wouldn't have been a good strategy. Since the EU ruling in 2012, annuity rates have to be the same for both sexes. That does raise the question of whether we might reverse that after Brexit.
