To not want Office to tell me I need to shave my legs?

[AliceInWonderland3]

I got an email this week from Office trying to sell me summer shoes, the email also told me not to forget to shave my legs.

AIBU to not want a business who wants female customers telling them they need to shave their legs? I shave my legs because I know people I encounter day-to-day will be horrified by body hair on a woman, but I don't need a business trying to make me feel bad if I choose to go outside without doing so. Or trying to make me feel disgusted by something natural

Why do people with, no doubt, extraordinarily busy lives, like to go on the Internet to complain about mumsnetters?

Because I saw this issue on the news and didn't believe it was as big a deal as was being made out. So sitting here on the train with nothing better to do ....

Turns out people like to complain about everything, no matter how trival. Who'd have thunk it.

And you are so different from the op, how?

Yes, we are not allowed to say anything about anything and should just STFU.
Its entirely our fault that The MAil et al made such a huge fuss avout this threas.

Thank you for enlighteneing me, IDK how I managed my life before you came along peachpudding.

In future when someone is rude or patronising I'll just take it and give that shit eating smile they seem to prefer.

They're discussing this on Loose Women just now.

Mumsnet is too popular. I didn't realise it until recently when every other thread was in the daily fail.

Why do mumsnetters complain about everything?

peachpudding, if you want to know the answer to that question (as opposed to asking it for the sake of being provocative) why don't you have a look for yourself? You'll see hundreds of threads involving no complaint whatsoever.

Turns out people like to complain about everything, no matter how trival. Who'd have thunk it.

Turns out people also like to sit on trains with nothing better to do than complain about women discussing something important to them. Who'd have thunk it.

You are the only person I've seen who's admitted to not having anything better to do though.

crikey, I didn't realise mumsnet was such an extreme right wing club.

Dare to ask a critical question that challenges the consensus and you are told to STFU... and something about smiling and eating s**t

Right wing? You really do need to do a bit of research round here.

ok, change right wing to offensive and or abusive.

So you come on here and, without checking your facts, make extremely wide-ranging generalised unevidenced comments about how people on mumsnet like to complain about everything - and it's the people who pull you up on that who are offensive and abusive, peachpudding?

Ri-ight.

Now you are deliberately quoting out of context to get a rise.
People can read what was actually said.

We wont STFU just because you dont think we should be allowed to talk. You are the one censoring people, not us.

Dare to ask a critical question that challenges the consensus and you are told to STFU... and something about smiling and eating shit

That was someone saying THEY are told to STFU, and that they will, in future, give people who disagree a "shit-eating smile". I.e. they will suck it up and smile in response.

How does that offend you?

OK, haters gonna hate. I will leave you to complain about nonsense in peace.

Hahahaha at right wing.

peach

Women on mumsnet discussing something that bothers them and you say why do mumsnetters complain about everything?
Woman on mumsnet says they won't complain in future and smile nicely, and they are right wing abusive and offensive to you?

Okayyyyyyyy.

Don't let the door hit your arse on the way out. :)

MRA's love to mussy the waters...

A critical question? Where was that then?

People asking why Mumsnetters complain so much not realising that's precisely what AIBU is about...

Loads of articles by various publications, it even made it into Daily Mail print! The message is getting out there that companies need to adapt with the times :D

Nick Ferrari talked about it on LBC this morning too. I knew it would be from here when he said "Mycatwasrightaboutyou; who on earth uses these names?"

Did loads of furious people phone in:

"See, thing is, women with hairy legs disgust me, innit"

It was mainly him being all "there there, dearies" and women confused that yes, they did shave their legs but they also thought Office were being sexist.

Ferrari is an utter fool, always has been.
