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

Quite possibly the same one. I don't know how many she put up.

I was still desperately trying to stay in the cult at the time, but it made me feel very conflicted. How could a dictionary entry be hatred? If that could be deemed provocative, then what wasn't offensive?

Ocado tweeted something implying that one of Posie Parker's billboards was transphobic. The dictionary definition of woman one.

The billboard that inspired Keira Bell and is a statement of truth???!!!!

Actually they are now in cahoots with M and S so they deserve each other.

Frogsincoats - I might starve - I’ll take my chances...

@12frogsincoats

You lot will starve to death at this rate if you keep boycotting every company that ever dares support trans people.
I don't expect so.

Supporting trans people is fine. Maligning feminists and people with safeguarding concerns about children's welfare is less so.

MichelleofzeResistance · 29/01/2021 17:27

You've either not read the tweet or missed the point entirely? Or believe that supporting trans people must involve hating on women?

Unlikely. There's plenty of companies that keep out of these political debates. Quite rightly if they wish to hang on to their customers. I'll use those companies.

To be fair, Innocent Smoothies are SO packed with sugar, they probably shouldn’t be in anyone’s fridge anyway. I used to occasionally buy them for my children - then my friend (who worked at Innocent!) told me that most Innocent smoothies contain more sugar per 100gr than Coca Cola. My friend could take free smoothies, but never gave them to his own kids.

Maybe the TRA are trying to starve us out.
Keeping everything crossed that major gin brands do not follow Innocent’s lead. 🤞

Method and Ocado are on my boycott list too, if we're doing a round up.

Method? What did they do?

Ocado - what did they do?

Well if it gets that bad, there will have been an absolute gold mine business proposition created for other sellers. An open goal.

Mylittlepony374 · 29/01/2021 17:20

Shit. I buy 6 boxes of their smoothies for kids a week... only way to get veg /fruit into my super fussy toddler...going to have to find an alternative

"We're just selling margarine. That's it. That's all. Politics nothing to do with us and our selling of margarine. (And we employ x thousands.... we don't interview on political purity to any one position, because that would be weird.)"

That would certainly be my stance. In the long run, it's much safer. Andrew/one of Andrew's friends (I forget which) is claiming that there are more trans people to buy margarine than "tfs". Firstly, unlikely, and secondly, businesses want everyone's money.

It is, by now, apparent that if you give an inch to this type of behaviour, they take a mile. Innocent Drinks follows over 31,000 people, and Andrew was trying to denounce the company that on the basis one of those 31k people may also hold GC views. (Which she might not have done at the time it followed her!)

That is such an exceedingly high standard of purity to demand.

JKRismyhero · 29/01/2021 17:15

Off the shopping list they go. Wtf is wrong with the world

HettieMills · 29/01/2021 17:15

Right I will add innocent to the boycott list.

Innocent drinks follow 31.2k people. I wonder how long 'leftie rage' had to search to find someone amongst their followers who had committed this particular sort of wrongthink?

Who takes notice of who smoothie companies are following?

Edenember · 29/01/2021 17:12

I’m loving this, its glorious to behold. A truly spectacular own goal. I wonder if Andrew is going to buy enough smoothies to make up for all the lost custom? He did say on his own feed he’d buy ‘A few more.’ That should do it 😂👌

Weatherwarning · 29/01/2021 17:04

@ErrolTheDragon

What did Flora do? I just bought a tub this week.

Bent the knee to misogynistic twitter demands iirc. And also, unrelated but of interest to some, their spreads are made with palm oil.

Thanks for the heads up. Today alone Innocent, Flora and Journal.ie have been added to my boycott list.
MichelleofzeResistance · 29/01/2021 16:58

They may not even have pulled it in the end, they may even have only said they were thinking about it. Doesn't matter - it was clear what they thought of women who dare to speak up for their sex-based rights.

I never understand the mindset of a business whose answer isn't "We're just selling margarine. That's it. That's all. Politics nothing to do with us and our selling of margarine. (And we employ x thousands.... we don't interview on political purity to any one position, because that would be weird.)"

MichelleofzeResistance · 29/01/2021 16:56

Andrew and Innocent not coming out well from that Twitter thread....

Very happy not to spend money with companies that hate women. No issues there at all, thanks for the info.
