The Body Shop has fallen

[Cismyfatarse1]

Just seen this on Twitter.

For those who like their Ginger Shampoo, can I suggest MooGoo.

Also, Aveeno is a good replacement for their Shea butter.

Other thoughts welcome. Feel free to suggest other ideas.

Well I guess the assumption is that it’s for women unless otherwise mentioned. That’s a very generous interpretation.

Yes. But not one mention.

Well - they don’t really understand though do they?

The 95% is not scientific but based on my most recent (early March) trip to my local shop. DH stood in front of a shelf for him, the rest of the shop seemed aimed at me or, being generous, everyone.

Sexnotgender I especially love your "please educate yourselves and do better".

Oh, I wish Man Friday were still active. They were geniuses.

Their products are terrible anyway. You imagine them to be healthy, organic, environmentally friendly but if you look at the ingredients they're often no better than supermarket items. I've always thought it's all a bit false.

Until they rename their “shaving for men” and “skincare for men” sections, they have NO business commenting on menstruating for women.

Laughable hypocrisy.

Excellent reviews

Their chat doesn’t seem to be working. Did someone break it?

Loving the reviews!

Here’s how the Body Shop apparently responded to one email...

Speechless.

Sooo late to the party, my apologies.

But... FFS

Well, that's a bummer because I have to use to use sunscreen and theirs isn't greasy and comes in handy little tubes.

I'm out of there. 'Menstuators'. God give me strength.

*Menstruates
And other rage typos.

this evening.

I actually think that I fart more than I menstruate. It’s much more consistent throughout the month.

Bye Bye Bodyshop - what a shame you feel the need to jump on the bandwagon. I don't want poor politics mixed into my lotions and potions.

Their online chat is switched off now. It’s supposed to be on until 9pm but has been mysteriously buggered all day.

Are they doing an audible?

And use of the phrase “reaching out”

I dont understand why they feel the need to comment? they are floggers of body butter not important in the grand scheme of things

That reply has left me speechless. Patronising sods.

What puzzles me is they have ranges dedicated to men and gifts for him and her but they dont believe they exist so....

@TheWayOfTheWorld

I'm so depressed. I am on a skincare group on FB (Caroline Hirons) and somebody posted up about TBS bullying JK. Cue the enslaught of posts calling her a TERF and a transphobe before comments were closed (not before a mod came on to agree) and then the whole thread was deleted.

Now today they are all falling over themselves to talk about TBS and what products they recommend.

I'm ashamed I didn't pipe up but my office is so woke I don't dare 😔

Hi TheWayOfTheWorld,

That was me! I'm glad I found this thread where the discussion is a bit more nuanced, and some of these posts have been amazing!
I have nothing against trans people, I was just disgusted by the misogyny in the TBS post.

One person from the group PMed me with something rude, however I got a really nice message from another woman who was annoyed at us being silenced.
I was thrown out of the group but that's fine, I don't want to be part of that echo-chamber anyway. Good luck to them.

@Skyliner001

Oh love the body shop! That reminds me I must put an order in

Good idea. That chest won't wax itself

If you're on Twitter and want to be outraged here is the lady who received that awful reply
