Sort of a weird choice, The Body Shop is hardly even a thing anymore, just a corporate shop.

Seems like a marketing partnership to me.

I’m just here for the ratio’s

What have I missed? It seems fine to me but clearly I'm overlooking something.

Wasn't it Teen Vogue that was telling teen girls how to have anal sex? In which case this doesn't surprise me at all. The utter misogyny is rife.

Notredamn

Well, for starters, the body shop has removed the word woman from its products and thinks that men have periods. Then they sent a sarcastic and inflammatory post to JKR after she opened up about the abuse she'd suffered, and discussing her concerns about self ID laws. So all in all I wouldn't call them the greatest female advocates.

For background

When BodyShop forgot what woman meant:

Surely they're empowering menstruators? Bleurgh.

@022828MAN Yep, and going on about how fun and pleasurable it was while calling us non-prostate havers and not mentioning any of the risks (anal fissures and other damage)...and not only that, but Teen Vogue, like most teen magazines, is mostly read by tweens (10-14 ish)

Yep. I was having a conversation about this with my DH yesterday. A teenage boy (especially a heterosexual teenage boy) is going to be very unaware of just how slow you have to take anal sex to stop it from being incredibly painful and potentially damaging. But no, the readers of Teen Vogue have been told it can be fun and pleasurable, so they should just put up with the pain in pursuit of this. So irresponsible.

Seems like a marketing partnership to me.

Think you've sussed it. Aren't many of these 'awards' actually bought?

"Lifetime achievement"?

Perhaps they empowered women before 2006, but now they are just a another company with a gender pay gap problem and a dodgy MLM scheme.

They deserve each other. Pile of crap. ‘Awards’ are generally bought and paid for anyway.

MAN

Urgh, them as well. I didn't know that. What a joke.

A bunch of misogynists patting each other on the back. Irony is dead.

A bunch of misogynists, who encourage teenage girls to let men shove their dicks into their anus, gives an award to another bunch of misogynists, who mock a woman who was abused by a violent misogynist.

I’m beginning to wonder if there’s a link here, but can’t quite figure out what it is. 🤔

I like being an urban gorilla in WHSmith or the supermarket and put them the wrong way round, at the back of whatever is on the very bottom shelf ( no pun intended) the one where you have to bend over to even see the titles.
I'm a little devil me.😁

I do that in bookstores.

I'm surprised they're so thrilled to win such a transphobic award
