Hey up menstruators

Little fun activity for Saturday morning.
Do a search for 'women' on the Body Shop Website.

And...what was it Shon Faye said again? Oh yes. "Enjoy ur erasure"

I give The Body Shop till Xmas to go under.
I hope business undergrads use them as the classic case study in how to insult your customers and blow up your business during a global recession.

I feel sorry for your son. He disagreed with you, reasonably and correctly ,and you post this about him.

Really? Were you looking through the window? I love my son, but I will not agree with him, simply to continue the myth, that people can change sex. If you want to lie to your kids, that’s entirely up to you.

Don’t know if anyone has ever noted. On an iPhone if I put in male if will give the option Male with a capital M but if you put in female it remains in lower case

I want to know why?

Don’t females deserve to have a capital letter

It's part of the patriarchal conspiracy to put women down at every turn.

Alternatively Male is the capital of the Maldives and the software automatically capitalises all real names.

I've just tried to type Tarawa with a lower case and it automatically capitalised it. Tarawa is the result of Googling "really obscure countries" Tarawa is the capital city of Kiribati.

To put it in context, this is why some people are angry - this is the reply they sent to a woman who wrote to them about their reply to JKR.If its too small to read it includes "people have periods - women, men, non-binary people", says that they "stand with all menstruators", and most helpfully suggests how we "must listen and learn how to get started to be an ally to all menstruators. Yes, really.

Oh a drip feed. You posted that he had made a correct analysis of the Body Shop website- that's all you said before you then leapt to accusing him of oppressing women.

Will you have the grace to tell him that at least half the posters agree with him? I doubt it.

If you type human into google images, most of the images at the top of the search results are of men.

Funny that.

Ffs, stella47, they really are doubling down on their mocking of women, aren’t they.

It doesn't bother me that there are no search results for women. Its very hypocritical of them to have products "for men" though. It's almost as if it's only the word "woman" which is an exclusionary and dirty word that must be erased. After all, don't they know it's not only men who need shaving cream and that not all men need shaving cream 🤔
