Tom Daley to be new face of Pampers

Women have never been good enough to be the face of a brand. But in a brave and stunning move for equality , Pampers have picked Daley and Black as perfect brand ambassadors

Black shirt - do you hold your opinion for lesbians too or is it just gays?

BlackShirt · 24/08/2018 14:46

Ever heard of Margaret Atwood?

BlackShirt · 24/08/2018 14:48

You are inventing things, I have said nothing about the class you mention, you have, it's all in your head.

Sparklesocks · 24/08/2018 14:48

Omg Margaret Atwood would be a great pampers ambassador

BlueBug45 · 24/08/2018 14:49

Blackshirt WTF are you going on about? Put the Gin down and stop drinking.

BlackShirt · 24/08/2018 14:49

I posted at first about families created with firendship love, you posted all the nasty stuff and projected it onto me.

I'd love to know how Margaret Atwood feels about her wonderful language useage being appropriated by bigots trying to defend their indefensible views.

rainbowsandsmiles · 24/08/2018 14:52

Actually feel sickened at some of the stuff spouted. Goodness knows how the previous posters with actual experience feel. Sad

I think I see what you mean with the Margaret Atwood reference BlackShirt, you're saying Tom Daly and his husband are gender traitors, right?

bananafish81 · 24/08/2018 15:34

I simply care about the welfare of those being exploited for human tissue.

I would have loved to have been able to donate eggs to help another couple - straight or gay - to have a baby. My infertility issues are due to my uterus: my eggs were fine, and we know we made great embryos. I wasn't eligible to donate because of family medical history (and in retrospect it's for the best insofar as it would be emotionally difficult to know that a recipient had been successful with my eggs, but we hadn't been able to have a baby) - but conceptually (no pun intended) I would have been delighted to donate my eggs, freely and willingly

Would I have been exploited for human tissue? If so, in what way?

My friend has offered to be a surrogate for my husband and I - if we were to proceed (after counselling, physical and psychological evaluation and approval by the clinic's ethics committee), would that mean that she was being exploited for human tissue?

Or is it surrogates and donors specifically helping gay men to become parents that you find so deeply objectionable?

rainbowsandsmiles · 24/08/2018 15:38

The way I see it: Lovely baby with two loving parents - a good thing
Representation of homosexual couples in advertising - a good thing

Same here.

rainbowsandsmiles · 24/08/2018 15:39

Bold fail!

Iknowwhoyouare123 · 24/08/2018 15:45

Ah the beloved handmaid/Margaret Atwood references that are totally irrelevant.

All those openly gay male couples given babies in Gilead and absolutely not hanged from bridges for their sexuality.

SillySallySingsSongs · 24/08/2018 15:55

Yet it is you who have had your nastyness post deleted.

BlackShirt what has this got to do with trans people?? i am so lost!!

Iknowwhoyouare123 · 24/08/2018 15:59

It's clear what Blackshirts agenda is.

rainbowsandsmiles · 24/08/2018 16:00

How on earth are you making it about trans? I'm with sparklesocks! WTAF are you going on about?! Confused

SillySallySingsSongs · 24/08/2018 16:00

WTF gas that got to do with this?

It seems that you are now being deliberetly goady.

SillySallySingsSongs · 24/08/2018 16:01

*has

Definitely seems that way,doesn't it?

SoupDragon · 24/08/2018 16:21

Some people think males matter more than females

And the vast majority think they both matter equally.

If a child is wanted and loved and all the parents/people involved (however you want to phrase it) are happy I don’t care how that child came into existence.

Erm... but you're the one being deleted all over the place on this thread.

rainbowsandsmiles · 24/08/2018 16:38

Some people think males matter more than females and children and are so blind they will not see anything other than what they want to see.

Some people care about both males and females.
