Signed.

Also boycotting Always. Not sure why they removed the symbols, my daughters think pads are for older people and say the majority of their friends wear tampons. Though my youngest is on the side of Always 🙄 I'd be interested in seeing their sales figures a year from now.

Signed!

Thanks for posting.

I’ve stopped buying Always, now Body Shop, looks like Superdrug is next.

I haven’t been putting up with period pain nearly every month since 1987 to be treated like this!!

@WotnoPasta

Also they need to start calling men spunkers if we are menstruators.

I don’t like body shop products so it’s not a big loss for me to walk away

Will they remove the word men from their male products ?

user4676 · 18/06/2020 18:14

Hmm, I wonder if I can persuade DH to go in and and say he's identifying as female but women have beards too 🤔

LorenzoVonMatterhorn · 18/06/2020 18:47

What have superdrug done? Ffs maybe we need a thread of all the companies that have turned anti-women so we can keep track?!

Babdoc · 18/06/2020 19:05

Signed. And boycotting.

JoyceByersWasRight · 18/06/2020 19:15

Signed. FFS, this is ridiculous.

IllustriousToad · 18/06/2020 20:03

Signed. Thanks for sharing.

MamaBearThius · 18/06/2020 20:17

Signed. I for one am incredibly proud of my woman status

ErrolTheDragon · 18/06/2020 20:49

Signed.

Menstruation is certainly not something to be ashamed of, despite the attitude of many misogynistic cultures and religions down the centuries. But it's not a bodily function women generally want to be defined in terms of.

TheGriffle · 18/06/2020 22:32

I’ve signed. I am a woman and do not want to be erased.

Binterested · 18/06/2020 22:34

Signed. How dare they? I am a woman. Anyone who menstruates is a woman.

Funny how they know what men are.

Lucienandjean · 18/06/2020 22:48

Signed.

Coatandhat · 18/06/2020 23:00

Thanks to whoever started the petition. Signed. Sick and tired of all this.

Jintyfer · 18/06/2020 23:02

Was composing a text to a friend to share the link. WHY doesn't my iPhone recognise the word "menstruator"? And look, the Thesaurus doesn't recognise it either!! Is it made up? Hmmmm 🤔
