Which companies are woman friendly? And which aren't?

There seems to be an increasingly long list of companies that are prepared to throw women under the bus to pander to men.

Is there a definitive list of places to shop where our principles will not be compromised and a list of ones to avoid?

I had a couple of threads last year (under a different name) on boycotting Ocado. It makes me sad to see so many still shop with them.

I can't see this situation getting any better as companies are keen to get the younger generation on board by being woke. They don't care about their actual shopping demographic of women.

I actually had a very positive experience in a clothes shop at the weekend, ticked all the boxes but will not name as I suspect it would result in a pile on and forced compliance on social media.

I think given the targeted pile ons it would be better to stick to naming those who are throwing women under the bus.

I've been into my local, newly refurbished, Matalan today. Gone are the single sex changing rooms, replaced by mixed sex facilities. No staff on duty or nearby. Just a sign saying to go on in and use them. Very cramped and intimidating. Not an experience I'll be repeating and one I would be very uncomfortable allowing my a teenage daughter to access. I've emailed them to ask why they've chosen to go down this route. No reply yet.

Ah yes, good point, let's just name the anti-women ones.

Who would have thought this would be an issue in 2020? On the other hand mixed changing facilities aren’t necessarily a danger to women. I was recently in M&S in Stratford. They have mixed changing faculties but each cubicle was a little room (floor to ceiling walls and doors). The doors were sturdy and lockable with no gaps. I felt much safer in there than in some facilities which are hypothetically sex segregated but have one entrance, no staff to enforce the segregation and only curtains on cubicles.

Mixed sex means the sex of human who like to commit voyeurism offences have the opportunity to plant and collect spy cameras.

On the other hand mixed changing facilities aren’t necessarily a danger to women.

That's not what crime stats show. Or the UN - they're pretty sure that women and girls need separate spaces too.

This is old news (March 19) but I haven't seen Primark mentioned yet. The photo of Joni in the article says a lot. The anger, the entitlement!
