“LGBT advocate” has Leeds billboard removed

In the latest anti-woman action by GBT activists the Standing for Women billboard has been removed by Kong Outdoor media. The tweets confirming it are attached.

This is how much this country hates women, and how they validate men’s feelings and views over our reality. We can’t even name ourselves.

I assumed the whole point of the billboards is that people will get them removed.

'Women put up dictionary definition and no one cares' isn't very interesting after all.

arranfan · 21/10/2018 12:34

I'd like to think it is more indicative of how much businesses have failed to develop a robust social media policy. I am taken aback by how few complaints it seems to take to have these things removed relative to billboards that have been the subject of complaint in the past.

nicenewdusters · 21/10/2018 15:01

I agree arranfan . I'm sure there was a lot of complaint about the infamous Wonderbra advert "Hello Boys" but I don't remember those being taken down after just a few hours ?

nicenewdusters · 21/10/2018 15:01

But then again we're only silly little women with no voice, so who would have listened or cared?

these people need to grow some balls, man-up and tell the TRAs to fuck off!

They said they have been removed "while they are investigating".
I have emailed Kong Media twice urging them to reconsider.

Gncq · 21/10/2018 15:19

I know there's no chance of them reconsidering my emails were informative and hopefully whoever reads them will peak.
Think about it though, over 5,000 people voted and some, maybe many of these people would have no previous knowledge of posie's campaign on even the whole silencing problem. So it was probably the best poster so far.

I haven't heard any publicity about the Waitrose one I just hope our Posie is getting refunds.

Ah well in China and India there is currently a shortage of women. Obvously all they have to do is habe some men identify as women and everything will be fine.

Vixxxy · 21/10/2018 15:26

what is there to investigate? This is ridiculous but not surprising. However TRAs doing shit like this is what gets Posie more publicity. If they left the billboards alone, there would barely be any news about them. Foot shot again.

Popchyk · 21/10/2018 15:29

Does that mean that Posie gets a refund again?

Budgieinaberet · 21/10/2018 15:31

Vix it's great. TRAs are doing Posies work for her.

Posie - there is a nice big billboard next to the Trafford Center Grin

I love the rainbow flags and eye-popping rage in that tweet. The juxtaposition with a bland dictionary definition is priceless.

According to KongOutdoor's web-site their clients include Greggs, East Midlands Trains and Newcastle Council.

Good idea. I wonder how many transwomen would still be keen to transition if it meant taking on the role of a wife in an arranged marriage in rural India or China?

Although I suppose they'd still have the advantage of size and strength, making the new mother in law less likely to beat them for not doing things the way she expected, and their husbands less likely to overpower them whenever they fancied a shag. Still, doing all the cooking, cleaning, child care, care of elderly relatives, helping out on the land and being threatened with being set on fire if her family don't cough up the full dowry might persuade one or two that transwomen really aren't the most oppressed group that ever lived.

Misogynistic man leaps at the chance to be misogynistic.

He hates women so much, the word woman angers him.

nicenewdusters · 21/10/2018 16:00

I've just emailed KongOutdoors, asking them why they removed the poster, with a brief explanation of what's behind it. I said it was a topic that MPs, journalists, broadcasters etc were now admitting they were too intimidated to engage in. I added that they'd played right into the hands of men demanding recognition of themselves as biological women.

TheCountessofFitzdotterel · 21/10/2018 16:01

I am very angry that they have responded to a tweet which uses the misogynist hate word 'terf'.

Vixxxy · 21/10/2018 16:08

Vix it's great. TRAs are doing Posies work for her

Indeed. I hope she is getting refunds each time. I expect she waits for the refund, then orders another billboard once she has the money back (plus publicity)

Its interesting that this was removed the day after there was a poll that said the huge majority of people thought it should stay.

Why on earth can TRAs not see that their behavior is part of whats peak transing the country..

Vixxxy · 21/10/2018 16:08

Peak trans, should really be peak transactivist IMO. Or 'peak transactivist demands'

Trousered · 21/10/2018 16:14

Angry man shouts about his disgust at the sight of the definition of woman.

Pulltheotheroneitsgotbellson · 21/10/2018 16:23

8th rule of misogyny: Men are whatever men say they are and women are whatever men say they are.

2nd rule of misogyny: Women saying no to men is a hate crime.

Pamspeople · 21/10/2018 16:54

Time to contact Greggs to see if they will be giving Kong any further business or if they want a boycott
