Ocado boycott after support of Primesight action

[PerverseConverse]

On discovering today that Ocado are continuing to use Primesight after they removed Standing For Women's billboard, thereby showing they have no respect for women or our rights, I have emailed them to tell them that I will no longer shop with them as they support misogyny. I'm just wondering how many others have done the same and hoping this thread gets picked up by twitter and/or the press.

Why Ocado?

Ocado have just managed to alienate it's target market.Perhaps they don't think that women do the bulk of the grocery shopping.I will not be using them again.Any company who cannot face their customers being "women" does not deserve my money.I wonder who their target demographic is? Oh,that'll be women.The very women whouse mumsnet perhaps..Women who don't take kindly to being effectively erased.Misogyny writ large.They can get knotted

Have Ocado said they support the billboard's removal?

Yes, they have. Confirmed on Twitter that as they had removed the board they would now continue to use them.

Yep

Yes they spouted some righteous virtue signalling platitudes about "their values" and that as the billboard had been removed they would continue to use PrimeSight.

I was just coming on to say this sounded tenuous but having seen the screenshots they can fuck right off.

It does sound tenuous, you almost couldn't make up what's going on at the moment.

Right, well I will contact Ocado and let them know we will not be getting any more deliveries from them then.

Such damned virtue-signalling. The sign stated the least controversial thing I have ever ever seen in this whole debate.

Woman = Adult Human Female

Oh my Lord. Have they gone mad? Cancelled.

Cancelled.

Yup. There are a lot of supermarkets offering online delivery. Cheaper too.

Bye Ocado.

Well, Ocado are going to have to get used to a sharp downturn in profits. By their actions they obviously mean that the dictionary definition of Woman is transphophic and not be approved of. Who on earth do they think does most of the food shopping. As yes - that would be those pesky women. The cunty type.

Thank goodness its not Waitrose any more. That would be a tough one.

On the plus side, it turns out that they are NOT "part" of Waitrose or John Lewis, so you need not feel the need to boycott either of those.

I'm so pissed off about this. Ocado has been so convenient over the years but they can get stuffed if they think they're getting tens of thousands more of my money than they've already had.

Heaven forfend

What arrogance. They use their influence to promote ‘their values’, yet assume that women will continue to shop with them.

All the poster did was provide the standard OED definition for women. Hate speech in Ocado’s eyes. I am assuming the company is run by a man.

It was co-founded by James Gissing.

Not sure how that's pronounced.

Well they can fuck off. Do Birds Eye do home delivery?

I also will not be shopping with Ocado anymore.

I cancelled today and asked that my details be removed from their contact lists. I should get no further comms from them but if I do... (I'm the GDPR person at work).

Should this also perhaps be in AIBU for a wider audience?

I'll make them a new sign
WOMEN - adult females who order all the food
