One of the designs of the free pin badges all Paperchase stores are giving out today is just a very teenage doodle of some breasts. Is that all women are, even on international women's day?

Yep that's pissing me off. Not exactly thoughtful of them.

'You got this' and boobs. ffs.

A womb is probably not "inclusive" enough. Hmm

Glad it's not just me. I have to say when I saw the picture (tweeted by my local shopping centre) I actually said wtf out loud.

Offs ! im going to write to them

The designs seem to be part of there sisterhood collection, there is also a badge with girl power on it. There are several things they sell, especially with the boob drawings....I don’t find any of it empowering funnily enough!

Hydrangea52 · 08/03/2019 11:43

Whoops. Meant to be ‘the sisterhood collection’

I wont be buying a boobs badge.

I like ovaries better as a non sexualised woman symbol. Even though mine don't work any more.

TheBitterBoy · 08/03/2019 11:53

Yes, part of their Sisterhood collection, of which the less said the better tbh. Apparently they are giving 100 away of these designs at each store today in celebration of International Women's Day. I despair.

At least they are all pink. Don't forget the pink!

youllhavehadyourtea · 08/03/2019 12:04

ahh yes - a choice of pinks!

JessicaWakefieldSVH · 08/03/2019 12:32

Wtf? How totally inappropriate.

FemalePersonator · 08/03/2019 12:51

Seriously? Fuck off, PaperChase, you knobs.

LangCleg · 08/03/2019 12:55

The clitoris would have been better.

I've emailed them, we'll see what their response looks like.

Yeah I think they just joined my ever growing list of ‘places I won’t be shopping’ WTAF indeed!

Oh honestly... Hmm
