This seems to be a very new site with plans to add more. Very handy reference and there is a Submission/Contact Page to submit extra entries.

ANTI-WOMAN BRANDS
https://antiwomanbrands.neocities.org/

Women continue to be mocked and sidelined by countless companies.

  • Necessary items and procedures for women remain inaccessible.
  • Charities, organizations, and women's only spaces are disappearing.
  • Women are increasingly demonized by TRAs for speaking up about women's issues.
All brands listed here have chosen to align themselves with persons, organizations, and movements that continue to hurt women. Most brands like to align themselves as "woke" so it's probably impossible to compile an exhaustive list. Things are added as they come up.

Trans men should not have to accept people claiming they are women just to access healthcare.

just use the term "biological females" in medical literature then. After all, trans people "don't deny biology" so that shouldn't be a problem.

AutisticLegoLover · 12/04/2023 23:46

Until woke goes out of fashion it seems there won't be many brands/companies/whatever that aren't problematic on some level. I feel like I can't shop anywhere.

Thanks for exposing the true objectives here - the eradication of trans people from any advertising or publicity.

I clicked into about 7 or 8 of those brands and the only objection seems to be that they have a trans person on a publicity campaign. So the only objective now can be that trans people should not be on those sorts of publicity campaigns.

Sort of shows that the ‘wear what you like, call yourself what you like’ is a load of BS.

Well, transwomen should certainly not be advertising items that pertain only to women. Also, just because you are trans should not make you advertising material. Mulvaney, for example, is a travesty, a stereotypical cartoon of someone's idea of what a woman is - and he is sickening to look at. His inclusion in ads directed at women's products shows total insensitivity to the target market (women) and also a misogynistic view of women, a view that has nothing to do with actual women. His exclusion from anything advertised to women is definitely a win.

TeaKlaxon · 10/04/2023 18:15

Because these folk don’t believe in ‘wear what you want and call yourself what you want’. They believe that trans people just having jobs publicising beer or voicing a character is a problem.

This agenda has never been about ‘protecting women’ (which is why women are more supportive of trans rights than men are) it has been about eroding the rights of trans people. Including now the right to have any sort of public facing promotional work.

It's reported that Bud Light were celebrating Dylan Mulvaney's "365 days of girlhood".

So they are endorsing a laughable stereotyped performance where someone pretends to be a woman.

It could also I think reasonably be seen as pushing the progressives' culture war.

So in this case anyway, it's not, "just having a job".

This agenda has never been about ‘protecting women’ (which is why women are more supportive of trans rights than men are)

How does this follow? Women may be more open to trans women in women’s sports. But that doesn't mean that those women (and men) who object aren't motivated by protecting women.

No one is saying that trans people shouldn't have rights. They are just saying that they shouldn't get special rights based on their subjective feelings.

Have you looked at the website the OP cited.

There is nothing comparable to your prostate cancer analogy.

But if there was an ad for, say, Movember and a trans man featured as a man who was fundraising and campaigning to reduce prostate cancer deaths, despite not being at risk himself, why on earth would that be a problem?

It might be a problem for some men. Such as Mulvaney take the mock of women, they 'perform' a perverted vision of being a woman, a take-off and a vile, misogynistic one, too. I suspect a transman doing the same for men would get a great deal of ire. Transwomen are men, they have no place advertising fashions for women, underwear, make-up, sanitary products or anything else directed at women, just as it would be inappropriate for a transman advertising underpants etc. Creepy and fetishy.

LOL - you're literally defending a website that is trying to attack brands for hiring trans people in promotions and still have the neck (or cognitive dissonance to say no one wants trans people to have fewer rights.

I didn't say anything about the website. I haven't looked at all of the examples on it and maybe I wouldn't agree with it all.

I just guessed that you were talking about Dylan with the beer comment, and pointed out the reasons why it would he fair to boycott a company.

You aren't disputing that, so maybe you agree with me that it's fair to boycott companies that work with Dylan.

I think people can boycott whatever companies they like for whatever reason they like.

But if your reason for doing so is that they worked with a trans person, then don't try telling me that that is anything other than plain transphobia.

It's not the fact that they are trans. It's the fact that companies act like they are actual women when it's really just womanface.

You do you, but when a company tells me I should accept men as women then I'm not going to pretend that it's not incredibly disrespectful and misogynist.

There is no good reason NONE that Mulvaney and Marsh should be promoting tampons. There is no good reason that Mulvaney a flat chested man who never works out, should be promoting women's sports wear when actual women athletes are, like always, being ignored.

With Lush this isn't just about soap. They promoted chest binders to teen girls which are unhealthy and imho is like a modern version of footbinding or breast ironing.

The list goes on and on. It's not just one commercial it's EVERYTHING around that.

megletthesecond · 13/04/2023 12:56

Can I add Parkrun to the list. They allow men to hold women's records.

So what? Mulvaney is one less woman who gets a sponsorship.

And don't praise them too much they bully and abuse women athletes and just throw money at men for making a mockery of us:

So your problem is with brands hiring trans people and then treating them in accordance with the gender they identify with.

So you have no problem with trans people working with brands, as long as they don't present as or be treated as the gender they identify with. As long as a trans woman is willing to be treated like a man, she can work?

"Wear what you want...call yourself what you want" indeed.

Sex. Women. Which they are not. Brands shouldn’t hire males to advertise products aimed at or specifically for, women and girls.

Anactor · 13/04/2023 15:00

So your problem is with brands hiring trans people and then treating them in accordance with the gender they identify with.

If an advertising company or a brand treats any model in accordance with their self-identification, they are heading rapidly towards a wasted advertising budget. Actors and models are usually awful at accurate self-identification. That's why casting sites require a recent photo or a recent voice sample.

Any model should be cast according to how the customer identifies them. For example, using a ten year old to advertise beer is a no-no (and illegal in the UK), even if they do self-identify as an adult. Using someone who the customer can instantly identify as male-at-birth to promote tampons should be ridiculous - they don't use tampons for their intended purpose. It doesn't matter whether they identify as female.

In a similar way, if you used someone the customer identified as a young male to advertise tampons, you'd better be aiming at the trans-male market.

In the case of beer (sorry!) it's generally whether the often-male, often working-class customer sees the guy they'd like to be - or the woman they want to go out with. Mulvaney doesn't fit either category. Mulvaney (as a model) fits a very particular market, yet has been hired to advertise to one Mulvaney doesn't fit.

Current sales figures suggest it was a disaster. Which in turn suggests that self-identification doesn't work in advertising.

If they’re advertising sanitary items, that’s not to transwomen is it. Women’s clothes, designed for a female body, also not directed at transwomen.

I believe there is one sanitary product related company on the list? And you are aware trans women have breasts also, yes?

Flounder2022 · 13/04/2023 15:20

And I thought we were doing away with the notion that there were women clothes and men's clothes. Just clothes! You know, wear what you want.

Or does that point only apply when it fits your narrative?

Whaeanui · 13/04/2023 15:26

Who is we? Female and male bodies are different in shape and size, so clothing including underwear is going to be different for each. Dresses, for example, should be an option for males, however they identify, and should be modelled by males. Dresses for female bodies should be modelled by females. Ditto for underwear. Women have been modelling trousers for women for a long long time. Male fashion has a long way to go. Doesn’t mean that males should be modelling clothes designed for female bodies. They just won’t fit the same.
