Rimmel is at it now

[CervixSampler]

I've just been searching Boots website for make up and Rimmel nail polish is sporting a Tom Daley range 🙄 I'd rather cosmetics not be using baby buyers to sell their stuff. Is there any brand that isn't captured by misogynists in action? The list of ones to avoid grows longer by the week. I just want to shop without political no sense on branding. Is that too much to ask?

Just don't buy from any company whose public image you don't like. I stopped even looking at sea salt when they started using massive models on their website. I don't like size zero models and I equally don't like fat models. If the majority like seeing clothes on unhealthy models or nail varnish on men then I suppose they will have commercial success, if no one buys I guess they'll stop.

Quite!

My point was that I think it's great to have a male promoting nail polish without identifying a woman. I'm not sure how to make that clearer.

Then I asked a question that might have been clearer if I'd said "is anyone calling for women who have benefited from surrogacy to be prevented from advertising cosmetics?". I asked the question because I didn't know. The point was so I could find out. Thank you for answering it.

I'm not really seeing this as breaking any gender boundaries because I'm seeing a lot of make-up brands use camp/effeminate men as part of a group to advertise their products. They're not promoting their products to heterosexual men.

Every now and again someone tries to market make-up to heterosexual men and they use stereotypical means to do it. I think one brand is called War Paint, because war is "manly".

The assumption is that using a gay man like Tom Daley helps market the product to heterosexual women and homosexual men.

it amazes me that people aren't getting this point. This is a step in the right direction.

But he's an awful person for the surrogacy thing
