"Feel empowered... uplift and motivate... supporting the Campaign for Female Education" ... by buying a notebook with a load of women's arses in their knickers on the cover.

Slow handclap for @FromPaperchase t.co/WwyKpOqp17

I gave them the benefit of the doubt over the weekend as the twitter is only checked during the week. But a whole Monday has gone by and they've ignored the 700+ responses and are clearly hoping this will quietly disappear a la Body Shop etc etc.

I can't imagine any group of outraged people other than women being so utterly ignored.

Someone did their own version on twitter - all men in their cacks. Actually a much better job!

Bums aren't just boring these days, oh no! they're Queer and Modern! FFS.

DH pointed these notebooks out to me a few days ago and we just goggled at them for a while. He normally likes a nice Paperchase notebook or two but he won't be getting any more of them now I used to always buy my diaries from Paperchase, until last year, when they took their normal range of diaries and stuck "empowering" pink quotations all over them - not exactly the kind of thing you can have in front of you at a work meeting. Looks like the kind of stuff that happens when a company is hurtling towards administration to me tbh.

I do worry about where I'm going to be able to get my edgy ring binders and quirky bulldog clips now though.
