I couldn't find a thread but seeing that BodyShop tweet to JK Rowling has me incensed and I'm fairly new to this so please can you list any other business that has thrown women under the bus in this whole TWAW issue.

I want to support businesses that recognise that women want to and can have safe spaces, they want their identity to remain (ie they continue to use the words girl, woman in their literature).

So far, from reading posts, I can see:
BodyShop
M&S
John Lewis
Waitrose

Thanks

Anyone else to boycott?
Am definitely boycotting The Body Shop. IF (and it's a big IF) they issued a thoughtful and woman-appreciating apology then I MIGHT consider supporting them again (am near their factory, a big employer in the area) but I feel they might be beyond help.

John Lewis

Why? What did they do.

John Lewis changed their changing rooms to unisex and fold women to piss off because it was all about being inclusive and people (but not women being ‘comfortable’.

Ocado agreed with some idiots who whined until a billboard with the dictionary definition of Woman was written out because of hurty feelings.

Waitrose - by associations to JL?

BFI is a new entry at number 10zzz

I have 2 policies with Aviva but I don't want to give them anymore money if they are supporting Peter Thatchell. The best quotes I've had (which unfortunately are both more expensive because I'm much older than I was when I took them out with Aviva) are will Legal & General. I can't see them on this list and I can't find anything immediate about them online but I don't want to switch and then switch again. So, to the best of everyone's knowledge are they ok?

Has the Co-op bank really refused WPUK 's business because they are a supposed hate group? Need to know if I have to switch banks...
