My word @BabyStopCryin I've seen it all now.. I think that deserves a thread of it's own! Women menstruate & have done since time began. Men can't menstruate & never will have a menstruation cycle as their biological organs don't permit that. My 8 year old understands that!

Thanks, just what I was looking for. We all need to put our money where our mouths are and buy from companies that align with our values. Shouldn’t be political I agree and they should all butt out, but I am prepared to hit them where it hurts - in the pocket - for attempting to indoctrinate my children with harmful ideologies.

My uncle was a skinhead back in the day and had some slightly dodgy ideas about race immigrants etc.
He had two sons who grew up with very strong personalities and minds of their own. I remember my dad telling me at one family function my uncle and his sons got into a heated argument about immigrants, non white people etc. I always remember what my dad said my cousin shouted at him. "The problem with you Dad is every time you go outside something pisses you off. The problem isn't the out there, the problem is you and if you can't handle it maybe you should fucking well stay at home"

This whole thread makes me think of that lol.

It’s sort of the opposite to that though.
There was no real comments from women on transsexuals or cross dressing aside from maybe finding out your partner did this and it was a step too far.

It’s the trans lobby that are angry with everything. Everyone out to get them. World needs to change for them.

Random question, but can anybody think of a charity shop place where you can Giftaid your donations? Oxfam used to give us iD number stickers to pop on bags we dropped off.

I had a "we'll post you a bag for donations" from Oxfam pop up on my Facebook feed (not sure that they planned to pay postage for my kgs of kid's books, though, and I would rather find a new charity).

BabyStopCryin · 16/08/2023 19:12

Local ones do. We have a couple of hospice/ children’s hospital ones and they do this (and email you to tell you how much your donations have raised)

Sorry but I am not giving up Lego nor M&S. Pretty much willing to boycott anything else though. Costa I am looking at you.

Good to know; I'll get googling/emailing local charity shops.

Can not believe Costa. So insensitive and immature.
Seeing breast cancer and the removal of breasts to, hopefully, save life, not always, this is so crap

Damn you said that oops oh well

SuperNewMe · 20/08/2023 03:36

Is McCain because Baga Chips the Drag Queen did an advert with their smiley faces if I remember correctly? Was quite an inoffensive advert, unless it's a case of I'm taking it personally as you're making fun of me doing your woman face, stoppit?!

I really don't like the phrase "Go Woke, Go Broke". It's currently being levelled at Fender because they have the temerity to feature lots of women (OG variety) and black artists in their "Featured Artist" series and sponsored players. Nova Twins (black, female, British) in particular seem to have triggered a massive backlash.

Maybe I'm missing the point but that was the first time I saw the phrase used and it just seems to be a rallying call for overt racists.

Yes, I've noticed this - woke seems to be used for anyone not going along with racism, or questioning it.
Sometimes you see it here too when it comes to trans issues. It all seems to be intertwined
