List of businesses throwing women under the bus

[quote Marmight]@ProfessorPootle

What's Aviva done for you to add them to your list?

MN have a job advert on the front page for 'em...[/quote]
They’ve swallowed the trans cult whole, check out their aviva pride twitter, they host a lot of the stonewall training for police etc. When women have complained about their erasure as a sex class and said they no longer want insurance with aviva the response has been that they’ll happily help to cancel their policies. They know what sex is when they’re pricing their policies.

Thanks for this growing list. There's quite a few that I already boycott, others that I don't buy the products anyway, but some were news to me. Certainly it's annoying to have to find alternatives but I'l do my best.

And so what if "hur-hur-hur no company will notice the lack of your spending, you single little tiny insect, therefore you shouldn't bother boycotting anything, hur-hur-hur"?

I may be only 1 of 3.5 billion women, and all the others might be eagerly throwing their expenditure at Starbucks cookies and white-pink-blue flags.

But for me personally and my personal hard-earned cash, it makes a difference to me whether my few pence end up supporting anti-women causes or not.

it's certainly wishful thinking to imagine that all or even most women truly support women's rights.

They'll start to if they see males in spaces that they thought were female-only. They'll start to when their daughters come home from school complaining of boys in the girls' changing rooms.

Following.

I want to make a considered boycott. It will give me no pleasure to see The Body Shop close down as they are a huge employer in my area.
However I cannot support them after their snide bullying of JKR.
would you mind posting examples of WHY we should avoid the. Screen shots of mansplaing patronising tweets for example.

I noticed this advert by Skittles.

@Bananabixfloof that's fair but before I started using mumsnet again, virtually everyone - men and women alike - on my SM was of the point of view that 'TWAW,' not sure if anything has changed, since I don't use SM anymore.

I'm happy to do my bit. And an awful lot more women than you think visit this section and even if they dont post, they see, they know. They choose to shop in places that make them feel safe.

FuchsiaFox There is a difference between a person believing that TWAW and a large company sending a snide "educate yourself" tweet to a victim of domestic violence, or opening up their lingerie changing rooms to men.

You bunch of beautiful women. I’ve been so down about all of this, feeling like it’s like trying to swim up a waterfall and then I stumbled upon this thread. I have no contributions but will be taking note of the companies mentioned. Thanks for fighting the good fight when the world seems to be going mad.

Isn't it wishful thinking to imagine these companies will suffer as a result of being boycotted? If anything, they'll now be even more popular with many others.

So when your shopping on etsy or local businesses are you enquiring about their beliefs before you part with your money? How do you know that the etsy selling your buying from dosent actually donate to mermaids or that the farm shop owner isnt a strong believer that TWAW?

Asda, making workers declare their pronouns on badges.

The Mirror said that the badges would be optional.

NuMonday

Reddit? Apparently there’s a new moderator in town (and we thought they’d gone off to campaign for Elizabeth Warren and marry some bloke in America)

There is a British alternative to etsy that advertises on Instagram.

But do they sell pro women stuff?

You can add Etsy to the list as well, they have ‘anti terf’ products and Etsy refuse to remove them, I won’t buy from there anymore.

Jeez I know my Asda staff. They will wear their badges with a look of pure hate on their faces cos they have been forced to wear them

Have we mentioned 'Always'?
Recalling NatWest or Lloyds but can't recall why at the moment...

I use(d) to use Method products as they don't trigger my asthma. Not anymore, though. I clicked the link and saw Drag, WTAF are they thinking? Really.

Did someone mention Cheeky Wipes? I had a few items in a basket and was ready to buy. Tab closed. I'll find another manufacturer now.

I haven't bought from Lush or TBS for a while. Looks like I won't be going back there any time soon. Just as well. They were getting expensive. L'Oreal has a lot of products and brands on the market but I'm sure I can avoid for the most part.

I've never been in Wagamama nor have I ever bought anything from Primark (I'm rural). I don't come across Claire's or UA either for the same reason.

Starbucks got struck off my list with their ridiculous cookie fiasco and I don't like Coca Cola or Flora.

I don't belong to the GMB but Community is likely to lose my support before long. Unfortunately, Aviva has my pension but I'm looking into changing anyway.

Topshop = Philip Green so haven't bought for years.

Disappointed in M&S as they're pandering to people who don't seem to support them anyway. Don't they know who the majority of their customers are? Whenever I've been in one of their stores I mostly see middle-older age women. Yes, M&S, WOMEN!

Likewise Waitrose. Whenever I've shopped I see mainly women with loaded trollies and a few men with small baskets.

I'm so pissed off with these companies. They're all big enough to ignore the shouty minority and go with their shoppers - the people who actually buy their products. I keep asking but WTF is wrong with them?
