Nike choose Dylan Mulvaney to promote womens sportswear range.

I believed we were not allowed to reveal to the long word beginning with A which dare not reveal its name ( on mn)

Jeez they really did a number on us with the censorship on this board

It seem their idea of a woman is acting like an 8yr old girl on Christmas morning, high on sugar.
I only learned about autogynophiles recently.
Is autopedophillia be a thing too?

I over-pronate and New Balance were good for me when I was still running.

I'm fed up of people hiding behind Dylan as a justification for body shamed women. Not all real women are a perfect 5'3 hourglass or pear. Some are taller, less curvy, hairier, with broad shoulders etc.

The issue is that they could have used a woman for the ad, not that Dylan is 'emaciated' or has 'no tits' as is often said. There are women who also have small frames and are catching strays for no reason.

Just fuck off Nike.

I’m looking forward to Dylan’s next advert where Dylan takes the piss out of disabled people by pretending to be a wheelchair user, twatting about in Dylan’s usual fashion. No? Nobody would put up with that? Of course not! That would be offensive and ill-judged - but it’s just women he’s taking the piss out of so that’s fine because everyone knows women aren’t really people anyway.

Fuck off,Dylan, you sad, attention-seeking loser, and fuck off Nike. I’ve bought your trainers for years but wouldn’t touch them with a barge-pole now because you’re hypocrites and pathetically tragic. You’re regressive and misogynistic and you’ll pay for it. I hope Dylan is your Ratner moment.

So androgyny?

So instead of making clothing to suit every shape, apparently Nike (and others) make clothes for androgynous shapes.

For long legged posters long tall Sally cater up to 38" legs. I love their Jenny jeggings. I'm not all that tall at 5'6 but I do have 36" legs annoyingly. It's taken me years to find long enough trousers. Years of cold ankles because companies cant see that some women have long legs. Pick your choice of anatomy.

No more Nike in this house. I control the spends.

Who are the nearly 11 million following Mulvaney on TikTok? Are they critics or fans? I suspect that some percentage consists of female fans, sadly.

I do hope you sweetly, positively and femininely danced backwards into a bush.

Into the door frame, actually, which created a beautiful ending for my performance.

Recent comments on Mulvaney's Instagram are an interesting view of how this campaign is going.

Women are fed up to the back teeth, I'd say.

Montgomery tweets that trans people aren't even allowed to be in adverts. Totally misses the point that Mulvaney is a parody presentation of what Mulvaney thinks a pre-teen girl might be like, and everyone tells Mulvaney that this sooo valid.

It's insulting towards young girls, and it's insulting towards our whole sex where we are told that this is what our own experience of girlhood might have been like, that someone who actually never experienced girlhood knows it better and has the right to ridicule us, laughing all the way to the bank.

I'm really not arguing that - I just mean that I don't think it's helpful to point out features Dylan has that biological women also have. They could have chosen a biologically female model who has large feet/small breasts/broader shoulders etc. But they didn't because then the woman would simply be told her body isn't good enough to make the clothing look appealing.

@Maerchentante
“White Stuff “ Leggings were recommended to me by a Yoga Teacher.

I have been wearing them and agree they are very good.

The only “Downside” is that if you are very long legged they could be a tiny bit longer,
but they keep their shape beautifully, don’t “ Sag” don’t pill and wash well.
I went back and bought more pairs- !

But don't forget your non-Nike sports bra.

😂

what was that lovely quote Arthur Marshall used to love from 1920s girls fic? 'Hurrah for the holidays!' cried winsome Elsie Something or other as she capered down the drive and tackled the postman low.

That's womaning properly.

Possibly this is the answer. Girls, put on your leggings and prance!

Bet you both have vaginas though.

Oh so true.

I did not so thank you.

Lurked for years but finally posting as I'm at the end of my tether myself and on behalf of many women like me.

Lived experience for me has absolutely nothing in common with the rubbish DM is spouting.

Lived experience for me has been abuse and gaslighting from men I've known IRL and now online.

I never thought I'd find comfort and support on an internet site but I have (I'm just disappointed to discover I can be deleted for stating my belief in biology - like many others, I suppose).

JFC sorry for the type. 😬

Apols to Irvine. Transpotting is of course part of the Scottish Canon.

Fuck this patronising bullshit all the way to forever. Fuck Nike. Fuck corporate genderwashing. Fuck performative mockery of women. Fuck unfairness. Fuck misogyny. Fuck anyone pretending some camp mannerisms and dollyfrocks have fucking any connection whatsoever to being a woman, with a woman's body and a woman's life and all of the bleeding and breeding and pressures and trials and traumas that entails. Fuck these cynical bullshit genderwang merchants all the way to the wrong side of history.

because this man has decided he feels like a woman and we are not allowed to hurt his feelings we all have to pretend he’s a woman even though that makes us furious. How are his, one person, feelings more important than the many people on here ( and elsewhere but I’m meaning MNHQ banning misgendering) feelings?

I'm bloody sick of being mocked, parodied and being made to feel that I'm transphobic because of it. The only people who think this is acceptable is men.
