Target & bud lite are being hit very badly in the USA.. I think Target has lost 10 billion in 10 days..

My problem with Lego is they promote the language of LGBTQIA ++

And I'm not ok with being told language that denies my existence is for the best

“This is the A to Z of awesome. A Lego celebration of the beautiful powerful language of the LGBTQIA+ community”

@PurpleBugz i do think Lego is fine, the link Pink News posted didn't merit any boycott in my opinion. It is the one toy I will happily spend money on for the dc. They love it & I'm happy the have continued to stock Harry Potter lego, the sets are great, very realistic.

Second hand Lego on Facebook and eBay?

Also wilkos have their own version of Lego that's compatible with actual lego.

@Allthegoodnamesarechosen not even a good advertisement for the swimsuit. That guy looks seriously uncomfortable, it's a little too snug😅

I quite like the challenge of a boycott. Using independent etsy retailers for instance has been interesting.

There are items I can only purchase in some shops so I still use them in a limited capacity during the year.

Honestly this is so sad and petty, but carry on

Why is sad and petty? Women can spend their money wherever they like for whatever reason they choose. I presume you have places you choose not to spend your money? This list highlights some companies where there are concerns about their treatment or views on women (because again, this is about being anti-women not pro-trans).

I wouldn’t boycott some on this list. I have no issue with someone like Lego, for example, who have just created some trans style Lego. I will however never spend a penny with Oxfam ever again. I think all women are able to make those judgments for themselves based on their own values and there’s nothing petty about it.

@Anissue yes we will carry on deciding which companies deserve our hard earned cash & which ones we will no longer choose to support. It's a free market & consumer choice is powerful.

Now that's a bummer 😕

featuring drag as “inclusive” when many find it offensive and a parody of women.

I'm pretty new to these threads and find it all so eye opening. I have never even thought of this before and it resonates deeply with me the more I think about it.

Thanks all for the constant conversation on this board, I am learning so much.

I like your attitude, @DeflatedAgain, and hope to see more posts by you.

The Green party
M&S for their changing room policy

Hope you don't like Shay and Blue perfume. They're donating to Mermaids during Pride.

CheeseTouch · 08/06/2023 17:53

I have given a lot of money to Oxfam over the years. No more. Disappointed to see John Lewis and Waitrose on the list. I don’t use any of the other brands.
