So another brand proves that they’re not keen on women having thoughts

@Balonder

Can I ask what Journal.ie have done?
I've bumped up the thread for you.

I wonder what Innocent would say about their parent company lobbying against laws cracking down on the use of forced labour (where women are also reporting systematic rape and forced sterilisation). That doesn't seem very woke to me? www.google.com/amp/s/www.nytimes.com/2020/11/29/business/economy/nike-coca-cola-xinjiang-forced-labor-bill.amp.html

Inclusive is another trendy word that I have started to loathe.

Yes, that's another appropriated useful word, whose appropriation and distortion of is now harming the people it was invented for.

Boundaries. The problem with all of this is the unwillingness to face that strong fences make good neighbours, and this involves the word 'no' and resilience when someone has a tantrum to try and get their way.

@JulesJules

Did I miss out a comma, *@ShagMeRiggins* ?
No, I was referring to the content in the link. Your punctuation was splendid!

I find it generally means that they're excluding of women. It's code for 'we're raging gynophobes'.

Yes.

They work hard to be fair and inclusive? Not towards women though. Some rando can just accuse a woman of something and they publicly unfollow her.

@Biscuitsanddoombar.

Love that gif. I surprised a colleague by demonstrating that I can tell a woman riding a motorbike (am a biker) even from a distance.

Men balance from their shoulders, women from their hips.

This is what they've come up with

My kingdom for a comma. Hmm

@Wearywithteens I totally agree with you. Closing the article with a statement from Stonewall leaves one with little doubt as to where the writer's feelings lay. It was rather badly written and disjointed all in all.

The BBC will obviously fail to follow this up with examples of the digusting tweets Flashmaggie as received as a result. Hatred is fine as long as it's directed towards a woman.

I can't stand donuts or doughnuts. Too sickly. The smoothie was nice though.

SirSamuelVimes · 03/02/2021 14:58

No, don't stop! Keep equating them to donuts, it really works with my world philosophy Grin.

prisencolinensinainciusol2 · 03/02/2021 14:52

Can you please stop knocking smoothies with factual information?

😂

AbsintheFriends · 03/02/2021 14:06

I'm so glad to see the BBC have reported this with a bit more fairness and less bias than I've come to expect from them.

Mind you, given that the story at the top of the 'most read' column is the horrifically distressing reports of systemic rape and torture of women in the Uighur camp, it would be breathtakingly stupid of them to present Margaret Nelson's claims that 'sex is real' as some sort of extremist stance.

Made it to the BBC now. Interesting they actually quote some of her earlier "offensive" tweets and the apology from Suffolk police where they say they made a misjudgement in asking her to tone down her tweets 2 years ago.
Anyone reading those with some common sense will realise they're not phobic, e.g." gender's fashionable nonsense. Sex is real."

BaronessWrongCrowd · 03/02/2021 13:40

@CorvusPurpureus TBH I'd prefer a nice jam doughnut over an innocent smoothie anyway. Grin

PotholeParadies · 03/02/2021 12:32

Can you please stop knocking smoothies with factual information? Angry Grin

I bought one this morning from a rival cheaper competitor (although the innocent one next to it was currently on offer, making them temporarily the same price) and it was quite nice.

JKRismyhero · 03/02/2021 12:22

Rolling at sports vegetables hahaha

CorvusPurpureus · 03/02/2021 12:04

So if you buy a pack of 4 doughnuts, but one of them is sugar fluid & only half of it identifies as containing sugar, you can scoff the lot instead of having an Innocent smoothie?

I can get behind this idea, definitely.

HettieMillia · 03/02/2021 11:36

Wow, so I can eat donuts now and class them as a healthy alternative to smoothies? Excellent!

I think that's a very good argument for putting doughnuts in lunch boxes for school. Possibly 5 doughnuts as a healthy equivalent.

TheChampagneGalop · 03/02/2021 11:26

Sports vegetables with added electrolytes (from all natural sources).
Brilliant, just change the packaging and promote them to sporty, health-conscious people.
