Sainsbury don't give a stuff about women...

Lecturing on bigotry and being progressive whilst using the term 'coloured'

TRA type in blatantly racist shocker. Knock me down with a feather, you could.

Really really not derailing thread
But

Come to think of it, I can't find dried pears anywhere lately, not even in Waitrose

I've never even heard of dried pears, whst do you do with them.

@MishyJDI lesbians are women, of course they are welcome in women's toilets. Please don't imply otherwise.

Is that article true?
Anybody working at Sainsburys who can confirm?

I only ask because I'm sure the Mail are re hashing a story from last year!

And before anyone asks, no I don't want to see single sex spaces being taken away.

Oh dear mishy, I'm afraid you're way out of touch. Look at all the comments under every single article. Look at all the polls on Twitter, and on here.

Look at the government saying they are going to ring fence female only spaces.

No one wants mixed sex toilets.

Replace your words perhaps: "Women being uncomfortable at being forced to share toilets with lesbians is not lesphobia".

Let's not replace my words. I said males because I meant males.

Lesbians are women. Women of all races are women so I'd have no reason to object

ooh I feel uncomfortable

Nice mocking of many women's very rational fear of the male sex class there. I'm glad that you personally have no reason to fear males. It's sadly not the case for plenty of women and girls.

Did you just say coloured races, MishyJDI?

Holy shit.

Your point of view is just out of place with the majority of the population and other women.

Feel free to boycott them, but guess what, other companies such as Aldi and Morrisons are also progressive, and not regressive.

What on earth would you use dried pears for, Granny?

I am so sick of my local Sainsbury's. Their Pride "Month" goes on and on and on. In 2019 it lasted about three sodding months. Everytime I see the rainbow scan guns nowadays, I just think "misogyny" and "Stonewall". I only go in there now if there is no other choice. They think they are being "inclusive", but it is actually a hostile statement against the rights of women and girls

Maybe the way to go with these companies is directly to the Shareholders' Boards.

And am I right to think it's the most vulnerable who will be most impacted by the loss of privacy in the toilets? I'm thinking the very elderly, the pregnant and those with small children, all of whom can be caught short and not be able to hold in during a supermarket visit.

Have they asked their actual customers or just caved to pressure?

Why would you need to ask a Sainsbury staff member their pronouns? If you're talking to them, it's the second person pronouns you need - you, your, yours. If you need to talk about them, I'd just say, "Your colleague", as in, "Excuse me, your colleague in the fruit and veg section said I'd find dried pears in this aisle but I don't see any."

Come to think of it, I can't find dried pears anywhere lately, not even in Waitrose...

Trouble is, the only person in Sainsbury's top management who is going to look at those comments and the article is probably their Diversity (the Kool-aid's on the third shelf) Chief Kevin O'Bryne (he's finance too)

Bugger.

Happily, I have no brand loyalty and there are plenty other supermarkets to choose from.

I prefer my rights to single sex spaces to nectar points.

I've boycotted Sainsbury for over a year. Tesco too one they donated to mermaids
Sainsbury was my preferred supermarket. Over £100 a week plus petrol, clothes and credit card. I keep meaning to write and tell them why, I need to crack on with it. They keep sending vouchers to try and tempt me
Asda I avoid since I saw a staff member with an 'ask me my pronouns' badge. FFS j just want to shop
Aldi and Morrisons if I want a delivery

I shall write to them, directly to the CEO - and make the point I'll be writing to the Baroness too.

I'm just sorting out my viper's quill.

Interestingly, just a few short months ago, the only people saying they would boycott Sainsbury's would be people on this board, and feminists on Twitter.

Now, people making comments under that article universally agree.

Oh fuck, am I going going to have to boycott them too?

I love it when people or businesses try to justify it as treating everyone equally and yet as a born woman.. I don't feel I'm being treated equally, I feel a man who wants to be a woman has more rights than me.

Points from SW to Sainsbury’s 🌟🌟🌟
