Nike choose Dylan Mulvaney to promote womens sportswear range.

[viques]

Do you know what Nike? Forget about “just do it”, as far as I am concerned you can just do one.

And maybe that’s why their sportswear is so shite for women. Always been thin and badly fitting. Apparently it’s perfect for dickheads though.

Gosh, one would be inclined to think Nike have no respect for women - even those who are outstanding athletes.

Yet, what one might view as a ridiculous chappie mocking women gets their gold.

What might be helpful at this stage is a list of brands who do not endorse the mocking of women. I actually need a 'supportive' bra for my exercise drive; I can tell you it won't be Nike.

She knows her stuff, is she on here? Idle musings.

Anyway I used to buy Nike airs. No more. So sad, it really helped with my plantar fasciitis when it flared up. But I'm certain there is some other trainer out there that will have the same cushioning.

@Ourladycheesusedatum I have scoliosis so suffer from many running injuries. New Balance are my friend!

Ah thank you, any particular style or do they all have decent cushioning?

Honestly back when the PF started someone recommended nike air, so that's what I got, never thought I'd have to boycott them, so never really looked for others.

Tbh, I’ve had different styles and have splashed on the top range to the lower range (only difference for me was the mile wear). I was advised them because I had my gait analysed and their styles have a high back on the ankle and all have a foam cushioning. They work for me!

My DH is a marathon runner and he too loves NB.

Sorry if this has already been mentioned. Nike immediately dropped an elite female athlete a few years ago when she became pregnant. Look up Allyson Felix.

They were roundly criticized and changed their policy, but it looks as though the same old misogynistic views remain firmly in place.

Should I be honoured? My post has just been deleted for misgendering DM 😀

I know we've seen similar shit before but this has pissed me off hugely.

I'm struggling to process why that is.

Maybe it's just a perfect storm of factors.

The choice of DM over the many accomplished and inspiring female athletes they could have chosen.

The fact that DM has no requirement for any of the needs females have in respect of sports clothing (such as breast /tummy support).

Finally the whole prancing around parody of this is how women work out. It's just so deeming.

I'm seething.

The whole other thread has been deleted rather than deal with the issue of compelled speech and misgendering and which one is rude/acceptable.

I wondered where it had gone.

Was about to start a new one.

”I don’t menstruate as I have the coil and peri-menopausal. Shall be just carry sanpro round me?”

Really feel like throwing out my Nike gym wear now and replace with a different brand! Will not buy Nike again.

I’m SO angry that the thread was deleted. I have enough shit at work when I accidentally call kids by their wrong pronouns - this is MY safe space.

It's frustrating isn't it.

We are expected not to hurt the feelings of men who make money out of mocking and parodying women.

Our feeling are always lesser.

We all know what sex DM is.

Reading further, I see that lots of female athletes have already been boycotting Nike due to their disgusting attitude to women.

Perhaps DM was the best they could get, after all the fantastic women told Nike to fluff off?

Who was Dylan in Glee?

Frustrating as well that it takes DM to get women boycotting Nike.

rather than their long history of treating actual women like shit.

I carry spares with me as I have an unpredictable flow. If asked I would give but I've never been asked.

I've encountered a few trans men in the Ladies' toilets and felt uncomfortable enough to leave and find another. My 13 year-old niece walked in on one with a lifted dress "drying his penis" and was deeply shocked and upset. She still refuses to use public toilets alone.

I find it very disturbing that an intact man would be in the Ladies' offering tampons out in the first place.

Does anyone know if Dylan has actually ever met a woman? It seems like maybe not, based on what he seems to think one is.

If Dylan wants to ‘feel like a woman’ he can try getting up through the night every hour for two years.

I watched one of Dylans videos once, well it was a response from Magdalen Berns to Dylan’s video. Dylan has/ had a girlfriend who identifies as a lesbian apparently.

I miss Magdalen Berns.

I'm doing well today. My second deletion!
