The Body Shop has fallen

All my Xmas presents last year were from the Body Shop. Fuck them, I’m spending elsewhere. Women have periods and women have been subjected to all sorts in history for being women. Everyone else can call themselves and do what they want, but they won’t be women unless they are women.

What no dream cream :(

They’ve got it badly wrong. I won’t be buying from them again.

They claim to be supporting victims of domestic violence. Yet they join in bullying one.

Me too - I was a customer since the mid 80s then stoped when they were bought by L’Oréal (who have reverse weaseld so they are on the nononononoNO list). Was Lush but stopped when they died DS blue and I got glitter in my undercarriage (and the anti police/ogre promos). Went back to BS - well they can now just all fuck right off.

And the net tightens that little bit more around the transphobes.

Stating biological facts isn't transphobic. Did you even read what JKR actually said or are you just following crowd to be seen to be sooooo much more clever than the rest of us? Misogyny is abhorrent no matter if the man claims to 'be a woman' or not.

I am a woman i dont need a man nor a transperson to tell me what i am nor re-define me thank you.

Good for them for not being closeminded
Closeminded? Since when has biological facts been wrong? Online bullying of a single female is nothing to be proud of. Its like joining the 'in criwd'at school and joining in the bullying to get yourself off the target list. Pathetic behaviour for a company so eager to be seen to support WOMEN.

Shit. I actually liked some of their products, and I have a nightmare with finding things I like.

But fuck them heartily for this bizarre attempt at wokeness right after a woman posts about her abuse.

And fuck anyone here who effectively says that she deserved it, what's wrong with you?

Oh noooo I love their banana shampoo and bubble bath

Just coming on to post this too! twitter.com/thebodyshop/status/1270773993109434373?s=21
They’ve got this sooooo wrong!

Body Shop had only regained me as a customer a couple of years ago after they parted company with L’Oreal but I won’t be spending any more money in there.

I come down firmly on JK's side, but this is her being hoist by her own petard, the vocal left eating itself.

Let us not pretend there was any way of a prominent woman who dared to say anything remotely gender critical avoiding any of this, though. The response still would've been the same if she'd never said anything to anyone before now.

For all of you who say MN isn't transphobic, you all need to go take a good hard long look at yourselves.

You must be new round these parts to imagine that post is going to result in anything more than people laughing at you.

What did Yorkshire tea do?

"They're no Yorkshire Tea" :) Thank you, this made me laugh. I'm so furious though, with so many people.

Awful. Just awful. Haven’t bought from there since Anita Roddick sold it, but no way will I buy from there in the future.

Gross bullying of J.K Rowling? Seriously?! How about gross bullying of trans people?! JKR should educate herself and so should some of you by the sounds of things

Go on Katy please do educate us!

The post is gathering likes though. The comments against it are overwhelming.

It's a Ratner's moment for The Body Shop.

Oh good recommendation for Wild-Sage! That stuff looks incredible

Woke Capital 101, it's unfortunate but JK did interject herself into the IDPOL twatter arguments.

It is the usual purity spiral and purging from the vocal left, it's almost as old as time but more frequent now with instant response, if you live by the sword you die by it.

I come down firmly on JK's side, but this is her being hoist by her own petard, the vocal left eating itself.

It would be better for some to realise IDPOL is the issue, but they will ignore all that and pretend it is because she is a successful woman one day whilst railing on twitter the next about straight white males without any sense of irony.

She was already ratioed for her stance on Corbyn antisemitism, it was only matter of time until she became a target, this is the life of someone having fuck you money from writing a book being held to some higher standard that should be 'correct' line of thinking.

When I saw the title I thought Body Shop had gone into administration

I would wish it on them but for the job losses

You do realise that you trans-dislikers are not a major base for the Body Shop or any shop and that you're a tiny teenchy minority thankfully?

They've got nothing to worry about then.

Though weren't they pretty much on the ropes financially to begin with?
