Marmite have a special edition LGBTQ jar with a part of profits going to Stonewall. I commented I was disappointed that they'd support an organisation that excludes lesbians.

A very polite person asked me to expend on that and I mentioned the activists violence towards biological women etc. Nothing I said was anti-trans in any way and nobody engaging was arguing or being disrespectful.

Someone asked me which male orgs excluded transmen so I went back to comment and got a message saying my comments had been deleted Hmm I don't know what their policy is but I'm really surprised to be honest (I don't know why though, I guess this is just How Things Are now).

Vegemite is OK but it is not the same as Marmite at all. Bovril is also good & salty BUT IT IS STILL NOT MARMITE!! When you love the stuff, nothing else comes close.

Also, how can Stonewall exclude lesbians when it’s run by one?! Utter nonsense.

Was it Chris Finch in The Office who said “How can I hate women? My mum’s one!”

Most misogynists end up marrying women.

There's now a hashtag 'reclaimpride' - to stop it being just about putting rainbow shit everywhere and pretending to be proud, whilst actually using it as a way to make money.

I bet Marmite's biggest customers are women - why don't they do a campaign against VAWG?

Oh the irony! We have an jar of Marmite with the "gene project" label on - apparently there's something in people's DNA that gives them a predisposition to love or hate Marmite, so I thought they were all good with scientific fact and biology and stuff

I'll admit, I was startled and had my doubts. When has that ever stopped me trying baking anything?

Took it out of the oven. Turned my back for

Sorry, I posted too soon and forget to mention what is very disturbing to me about all these firms sponsoring Stonewall.

It's the halo and the normalisation. And the occupation of the everyday as we're seeing household, everyday, sort of Bisto Mum names in association with this.

Very well played to whoever organised this enormously valuable advertising equivalence by stealth endorsement campaign.

Has a household name been proud to display a limited edition of a product or even a name check on their labels for Women's Aid or similar?

Good point.
