Waitrose???

[Femaledisrespectful]

Anybody else get a certain email this morning about digital billboards going up today? Looks like it's Waitrose. They're not daft are they?! Ocado's loss is their gain and I'm sure this will help encourage it further. If I was richer I'd shop there.

What is the Waitrose news? I love Waitrose and would be sad if I had to boycott them because of their misogyny.

Transwomen are not women.

Women do not have penises.

Women are adult human females.

And fuck off, Ocado. And take Jeremy Corbyn, the Greens, the LibDems and Wee Owen with you.

I have no idea what this thread is about? Can someone explain from the beginning?

The billboard doesn’t say anything though. A woman is an adult human female. And?

If you mean that someone is identifying as a woman who you don’t thonk should be called a women’s, so are defining woman as an adult human female, people will just identify as adult human females.

It’s just words.

Searched for Waitrose on twitter and this was one of the only things that seemed relevant (but it's still unclear what the link to waitrose is tbh)

It’s just words.

For most people words have meaning.

If you mean that someone is identifying as a woman who you don’t thonk should be called a women’s, so are defining woman as an adult human female, people will just identify as adult human females.

Let me introduce you to the point:
"Woman" isn't something you "identify as " it's something you just are.
It doesn't matter how you "identify". Baby girls are not left to die on hillsides because of how they identify. Its because they are female.
Its not "just words"..! Word define, they explain. If words for things become subjective they become meaningless, and we as a species can no longer communicate.

For the bewildered
Ocado being nasty

When the Liverpool billboard was taken down Ocado said they shared the values of Primesught the company who bowed to pressure from TRAs.
MNetters turned to Waitrose, who must be delighted
It seems they may be supporting their main customer base and showing some understanding of basic biology
We wait with bated breath!

Women wishing to discuss GRA in Leeds were turfed (see what I did there😉) out of a council owned building. Of course they met in the pub, but some councillors were vociferous in their condemnation of the nasty women.
Leeds CC being nasty

Obviously Posie's Having None of It!
The best thing about this campaign has been the amazing women in all their diversity who have come forward, all brave in their own ways, all fighting for girls and women.

Well I lost, I thought Ocado were Waitrose.

Ocado and Waitrose are seperate companies but they have a partnership where Ocado buy up Waitrose products and deliver them (as well as other brands).
You might as well just buy from Waitrose directly and get the other brands from your local shop.

This is what I got this morning, which is why I thought ? Waitrose? Maybe the second one? I bet WYP are loving the Leeds one 

Think the pic was outside the station before travelling, rather than Waitrose hosting the billboard. Maybe next time 
More power to Posie, she doesn't stop once she gets going. 

So we're waiting for a second billboard outside a Waitrose in London?

No idea, I think a Waitrose one would be awesome though! We'll have to wait and see I guess.

It says Liverpool on the internet.
Diflgotsl in Birmingham.

Still don’t really understand it...

Digital in Birmingham

I that the waitrose on Gloucester Road in London? I may take a mosey over...

Ha ha, she's a genius!!! I have just heard it is Waitrose in London - she's played a blinder. No pics yet. Question: cost cutting ideas so I can afford Waitrose?

Why does the standing for women site say other places then?

I’m out, too confusing!

Those have already happened.

Well if they said what was going on it would help whatever they are trying to do!

We aren’t all born with this knowledge.

Too confusing all round.
Good luck with whatever it is though!

Hardly. The Liverpool one was taken down. Hate speech. And Leeds City Council are unlikely to be best pleased with today's addition. If they had known in advance they might have tried to prevent it going up.

Isn't that hate hate speech then?
