A MNr began the thread when she came across This monstrosity

Someone else googled and found it in this shop.

Please can you lot email the shop? I have sent an email explaining why they need to remove it from their stock. Can you lot too?

Great response from little timbers. Really pleased with this result. On another note, I've never seen the feminist board before, I will be back!

TheDoctrineOfSciAndNatureClub · 28/02/2013 14:06

Well done all!

MrsMushroom · 28/02/2013 14:22

Aww, I've just seen this thread - what a great result.

Darkesteyes · 28/02/2013 17:41

Well done everyone. Fantastic result.

verylittlecarrot · 28/02/2013 18:05

great thread! heartening responses from the retailers.
I've just come from another (quickly deleted, well done MNHQ) thread where a troll was putting forward his "rapes are mostly false reports" ideology.

this has cheered me up.

EduCated · 28/02/2013 20:45

Still on sale here and www.fabandfunky.co.uk/acatalog/when-a-lady.html and at an extortionate price Shock

Oh I've just come to this thread - I'm so impressed by the activism and the result - Smile

Can't believe it is from Lord Denning - actually if they put it on the plaque that it was a quote by a senior judge that would actually show how awful it was.

CardinalRichelieu · 28/02/2013 23:54

Denning was a bit crazy. He just randomly invented bits of law. The senior judiciary tend to be about 30 years behind the rest of us (a few exceptions).

But yes, go us.

I've had a response from Daisy Interiors, I've put it on the original thread.

I'm not impressed.

sashh · 01/03/2013 05:50

I've just read the positive replies on here.

I've posted them on Daisy Interiors facebook page - not sure how long they will be there.

BubblegumPie · 01/03/2013 15:50

Aww, I'm only just reading this now, well done everyone!

gutted I didn't get to send any angry emails

EduCated · 01/03/2013 19:28

WhenTheRed Are you sure? I thought I'd found quite an old(er) reference to it, but I may be wrong.

EduCated · 01/03/2013 19:30

Also, had this response from The Design Company Smile

StevenSeagull · 01/03/2013 21:22

Ok, I have inside info. I've namechanged because I'm a coward.

Homeworks is a generic label name for products commissioned and imported by a UK company that then sells them wholesale to gift shops.

Their email is [email protected]

You didn't hear it from me.

TheDoctrineOfSciAndNatureClub · 01/03/2013 21:26

Bubblegum, if your angry email fingers are itching, Amazon might want to hear from you with this not-so-charming rape variation on the Keep Calm theme.

Ta SS.

ediblewoman · 01/03/2013 21:36

Oh god doctrine, I think I am going to be sick. That is terrifying.

dummad · 01/03/2013 21:36

is that for real Doctrine - that T shirt on Amazon? That is truly sick.

ediblewoman · 01/03/2013 21:43

I just searched for it and yes, it is real. I have asked Amazon to instruct the seller to remove it from sale.

FairyJen · 01/03/2013 21:56

I've messages amazon as well, that thing is revolting
