Is the OED now hate speech?

Interesting to note some of the sources of the complaints: twitter.com/Direct_PS/status/1044263398333132800

I've written to them, so we'll see what they say. I'm guessing this has taken them by surprise and they're taking advice before they respond officially. That's probably why you didn't get a satisfactory reply, Tam.

I've used them for years and I've always been really happy with them, so that makes the difference for me, I suppose.

Ok I contacted primesight, thanks pp for link.
Also made my way to GMC to complain about Dr baby.
Easier than I thought.
I have promised primesight that each time I see a misogynist advert, or any advert that paints women in the wrong way, I will send them a picture and expect it to be removed, if not I need answers.
Don't suppose it will get me anywhere but it'll be hilarious trying.

AsAProfessionalFekko · 25/09/2018 18:20

Good idea. Start with the 'Oi fatty, if you get cancer it's your own fault' one.

Velella · 25/09/2018 18:47

Sorry if I have missed it but what is the link between primesight and Ocado?

Velella · 25/09/2018 18:49

Oh yes. A billboard with Stonewall's definition of trans.

Next to one with the dictionary definition of woman.

Artesia · 25/09/2018 18:49

A quick response from Ocado, which says precisely nothing. As a by the by, am thinking of accusing them of a hate crime (maybe I should contact West Yorks Police??) on the basis that they have misrepresented my marital status. I am Ms Artesia, and references to my previous married status are triggering.....

Dear Mrs Artesia,

Thank you for your email.

We appreciate your feedback and comments, and please be assured that this will be passed on to the appropriate team.

Kind regards,

Stephanie Richardson
Ocado Customer Service Team

Ive already put someone off Lush today by explaining their anti woman stance. My friend had no idea. We definitely need a list.

AdultHumanFemale · 25/09/2018 19:05

My mum, sister and I won't be placing any Ocado orders anymore.
Meeting with girlfriends tomorrow, will bring it up and see what happens Grin

ThefusilliJerry · 25/09/2018 19:09

Where are the in house legal teams for these companies? They may as well tweet saying sue is for libel. Gob smacked at the naivety

ErrolTheDragon · 25/09/2018 19:13

. A billboard with Stonewall's definition of trans.

Wouldn't it have to be an enormous board, or else very small writing?

Trousered · 25/09/2018 19:23

I have written to Ocado explaining their rush to judgment on social media about women campaigning for women and girl's rights means I can no longer use them for my shopping, and expect a refund of my smart pass charge. They don't like my motive? They don't know what it is.

I buy everything there, garden stuff, beauty products, household, the lot. No more. Judging in that way is a kangaroo court.

R0wantrees · 25/09/2018 19:26

TRAs still probably wont be happy. Remember that awful tweet last week where someone was bleating about their selective masectomy being bumped in order to treat some poor woman with aggresive breast cancer...

Can everyone who cancels orders or stops using them please let them know why? We need to pile the pressure on where it’ll hurt them.

CAAKE · 25/09/2018 20:03

...a fat bloke in nappies and a dog collar who identifies as a guide?

Hah! Fekko Grin

this twitter account is now trolling the WPUK Liverpool meeting hashtag and women speakers with pictures of dogs.

Just cancelled my Ocado account . I spend 6 k per year with them.
Fuckers

That one has a tragic case of internalised misogyny.

You could maybe do it like one of those word cloud thingies.

ShotsFired · 25/09/2018 20:27

Perhaps we should fundraise for one that says what men are/adult human male and then see who objects or calls that hate speech!

olderthanyouthink · 25/09/2018 20:28

Or, maybe cheaper, online ads targeted saying things like "butch lesbian = transman", "don't conform to all gender stereotypes, you must be trans", "have penis? Never mind you to can use the ladies"

Iggi999 · 25/09/2018 20:35

It would be fascinating if stonewall complained about a board with their own definition on it. And if it stayed up it would open up a lot of people’s eyes to what self id would include.

They will, just because it's us.

PerverseConverse · 25/09/2018 20:44

@R0wantrees that's some weird Labrador shit going on there. And what's with identifying as "vaguely female"?? Wtf does that even mean? I don't do twitter, but have a look of links are posted, get a headache and have to go for a lie down due to over-exposure to naval gazing fuckwittery. Seems it's ok to be a Posiephobe and troll her incessantly but not ok to stand up for women's rights.

numptynuts · 25/09/2018 20:55

On Twitter I identified myself as an adult human female. I have been corrected. I am a cisgender terf whether I like it or not.

The hate towards women is huge.

PerverseConverse · 25/09/2018 21:19

I think it was this person re the GG.
