What is a Woman? Advert. The tide is truly turning...

"Florida-based watch manufacturer Egard Watches has created an ad spot in defense of biological women’s rights.

What are the details?
The video opens with footage of accomplished women, including female athletes and others, and shows women through the decades and even centuries fighting for equal rights.

"What is a woman?" the female narrator says. "Is women's history of achievements quickly being erased? Is a woman a feminine force of nature? Is a woman a sister, a daughter, a mother? Is a woman the wonder of childbirth?"

"Is a woman a caregiver?" the narrator continues. "Is a woman a warrior who fought for her place?"

The video continues, "Is that now being taken away, soon to be forgotten? Is that not worth protecting? And how long do we sit idly by and not stand for the sacred value of womanhood as it loses all meaning?"

"Because we believe that womanhood is a birthright," the narrator concludes.

What else?
In a statement provided to Blaze Media, Egard CEO Ilan Srulovicz said, “The overwhelming majority of Americans are appalled by Big Tech, Big Business, and Big Government’s coordinated campaign to erase the hard-fought gains earned by untold millions of amazing women in our society."

"Yet, almost nobody is speaking for them," Srulovicz continued. "We crafted an ad campaign that celebrates our grandmothers, mothers, sisters, aunts, and daughters, and everything they represent to paint a stark contrast to the lies we are all being told."

Srulovicz added, "The push for transgender rights is no longer about equality, it’s now a cleverly-crafted lie that comes at the expense of women. We ask all Americans to join us to speak truth.”

This is a VERY powerful advert

As has been said on other threads this is about so much more than X vs Y rights. This is huge and existential. We find great relief in being told the truth, proudly, without fear, because it is THE TRUTH.

It is harmful to all of society, on every level - not only to women and children - to be coerced into accepting lies as truth, to be fearful of stating basic, immutable, biological fact, to be compelled toward speech that requires one to deny material reality.

They could not silence us, they could not stop us, and now the world is waking up.

When sleeping women wake, mountains move.

Has anyone got a link to the UK site mentioned upthread? I can't seem to find it.
I'm in NL and Dutch customs will have a field day slapping on costs and import duties. If I can order from the UK site I can collect the necklace next time I'm over.

Lovely necklace. They need to find a U.K. distributor, they will sell loads.

HermioneWeasley · 13/04/2022 10:52

Amazing to see a corporation unequivocally standing up for women

drum123 · 13/04/2022 10:51

This is fabulous, and so is the necklace. The shipping is prohibitive me though and I can't find a UK site. Can anyone else find it?

This advert feels like when you have been holding your breath and then you get that nice lung full of fresh air. I can't believe how much I've been holding my breath over this trans rights trumps women's rights nonsense.

Cherry79 · 13/04/2022 10:47

👏 bravo

Waitwhat23 · 13/04/2022 10:46

Ooh, I like that necklace! I like the advert even better. Uncompromising, clear and powerful.

Jagertoddy · 13/04/2022 10:46

It’s a bit for shipping - 30 dollars (about £23).

Somanysocks · 13/04/2022 10:45

I suddenly feel like shopping again.

Jagertoddy · 13/04/2022 10:39

I almost never buy anything for myself but I think this necklace might be a must!

Igmum · 13/04/2022 10:37

Wonderful wonderful wonderful. I hope their profits rocket and every other company follows their lead

hedgehogger1 · 13/04/2022 10:37

There's a lot of likes popping up on their Facebook page of it

Mochudubh · 13/04/2022 10:36

Meant to add below the link (got over excited).

This item is a pre-order. Due to supply shortages this item will ship Late May

10% of all profits will go to women's rights charities

The womanhood necklace represents the truth, that Womahood is not something that can be appropriated, that the hard fought battles and achievements of women can not be erased... that Womanhood is in fact a birthright.

The necklace represents a movement to show solidarity and pride in what a woman is.

The womanhood necklace is a straight pendant necklace with the movements phrase "Womanhood is a birthright".

This variation of the womanhood necklace is 18k gold plated.

In fact I think I will gift one to each of the women in our (very big) extended family.

We have birthdays in every month of the year, sometimes multiples.

Womanhood absolutely is a birthright.

Cheeseycheeseycheesecheese · 13/04/2022 10:36

This actually made me cry. I'm new to this board and more of a reader than a poster. But this advert really resonated with me, it's scary how much has been fought for in the way of women's rights in the past 100 years, and how much is being erased so easily it would seem.

AdditionalCharacter · 13/04/2022 10:35

Brilliant!

Not getting much steam on Twitter though, mainly from the Washington Post

Mochudubh · 13/04/2022 10:35

The necklace is on my list as well. One for myself and one for each of my daughters.

MarshaBradyo · 13/04/2022 10:33

Well said
