Just had a thought this morning whilst reading a few threads and seeing ads in between posts.
I don't often click on ads, I don't know if it's just me but I generally do my own research. But then I thought - actually if MumsNet is one of the few platforms that does give women a place to talk about matters that affect us (from pregnancy, schools, relationships, women's rights, domestic abuse) then I should at the very least click on the ads to see which companies are paying to ultimately many 100,000s of women.
Ok so far?
So I clicked on this ad, selling life insurance for women. The first question - Are you Male or Female? Made me whoop! No Other, Trans, etc options. A health insurer who knows that bodies matter.
I am in the market for life insurance right now; I have it through work but that isn't obviously a sensible policy if you are let go / or have to resign through long-term ill health. So I will absolutely most definitely be pursuing this option.
