The Body Shop has fallen

Just seen this on Twitter.

For those who like their Ginger Shampoo, can I suggest MooGoo.

Also, Aveeno is a good replacement for their Shea butter.

Other thoughts welcome. Feel free to suggest other ideas.

Not used them myself but always assumed that it was a car repair franchise.
Confused

Aveeno is a dreadful replacement as they still test on animals for all their products. Whereas bodyshop don't. (I realise this isn't the main concern of your post but it might be be others!)

They are suggesting she needs to shut up and calm down (relax in a bath) and educate herself (read a book on trans rights). The bag is part of what (was) a legitimate campaign to take the stigma out of periods.

So calm down dear and educate yourself.

Fallen!

FFS. I am sick of these bloody companies throwing their main customer base under a bus.

Dear Body Shop, I will not be buying from you again.

I’m obviously missing something.

What did the tweet say?

CloudsCanLookLikeSheep · 10/06/2020 19:24

The bag is something to do with periods? It's a wild guess, but are they trying to say (cackhandedly, using the bag) that transmen will have periods naturally, so therefore not everyone who menstruates is a woman?

Heismyopendoor · 10/06/2020 19:24

Wow, that post from them is rude! Won’t be buying from them again. Will spend my elsewhere

LouHotel · 10/06/2020 19:24

Yeah cause a company founded on animal rights being sold to L’Oréal is really an arbiter on correct thought.

FantaOra · 10/06/2020 19:23

Patronising arse wipes.

WinterIsGone · 10/06/2020 19:23

I've just unsubscribed from their mailing list, but was disappointed it didn't ask me why!

@Molocosh

I don’t see how the message on the bag is relevant to trans rights?
More the accompanying tweet

@OhHolyJesus

Don't they belong to L'Oreal?

I hope all the women around the world, in poverty, who farm the ingredients they use for their products which make them profit can identify out of their oppression.

Not any more.

@Lordfrontpaw

I’m not seeing that tweet.
It’s the Body Shop account, with not that many followers, not the more activeBody Shop UK one

Another place I won't be shopping anymore...

PronounssheRa · 10/06/2020 19:20

The body shop has been crap for ages, it's a long way from the business Anita Roddick set up.

As others have mentioned since being sold by i'ordeal it now operates as an MLM. It's no friend to women

Utter fucking arrogance of telling JKR to educate herself. Fuck them

MrsFogi · 10/06/2020 19:16

Well - every time someone on FB pops up (and it seems to be everyday now) with the old "I'm now selling Body Shop stuff" message I will be messaging to explain why "I'm now not buying Body Shop stuff".

AnneLovesGilbert · 10/06/2020 19:15

Fuckssake

Thisismytimetoshine · 10/06/2020 19:14

I wonder who the Body Shop reckon their customer base actually are? So many dummies allowed to post shite on company social media accounts, it's actually mind blowing.
