What company was it? I messaged Ohne ages ago about all the crazy words they use instead of women. No response. I’m considering emailing the Scottish government about the period shame tv advert. It’s so good until the very end with its 61% of young people experience period shame. Say GIRLS ffs 😞
Yes, that’s the one. I’m loathe to put their name as I don’t want to give them publicity!

They clearly don’t care about their female (potential) customers. But you can bet if a non binary person messaged them to say they took exception to the word woman being used (not that it actually has lol), they would be replying faster than you can say misogyny.

99.9% of MiF, even ones who have had surgery inc cosmetic, I think most people would view them as " a man dressed up as a woman" which is exactly what my then 10 year old cousin said a few years ago when there were two stomping down Oxford Street.
Do they not realise how silly they look most are like the pink haired TRA creature that assaulted women in Manchester at the weekends march?

It does….that’s women like Willoughby with his cervix! 😄

Not had a reply to my email to the sanitary towel company who’s advert said “young people” instead of girls.
Was that the Always ad? I find their adverts offensive generally, the menopause ones make me particularly annoyed too so they have form

Called it! I’m disappointed with the CEOs response, especially putting ‘bleeders’ yet again in the post 😑 I do feel this was all engineered as a publicity stunt and to get her brands name out there. It’s a weird way to do it though, by insulting 99% of your customer base.
Bleeders has fallen out of fashion as an insult but “you little bleeder!” is definitely a phrase I would have heard as a kid (not directed at me of course 😇).

It’s like using inclusive language to advertise a product for men with prostate issues and using “holes” instead of “men”.

Most holes know how they are impacted by their prostate issues!

I’ll start using ‘bleeders’ to describe women when it becomes customary to use ‘wankers’ to describe men. That seems fair to me.

If it was a publicity stunt, then it was an absolutely rit attempt. Then again, we're used to being the butt of jokes and having the piss taken out of us for simply being women, so... :rolleyes:

Not even the workout videos I use are safe! I was pleasantly surprised to see someone had commented ‘why do you avoid saying women like it’s a dirty word?.

JJ has entered the chat. Of course she has. Despite over a thousand women saying they object to being called a bleeder, JJ is here to tell us it hurts NOBODY. I’m so glad JJ is here to tell me what I should and shouldn’t be offended by 🙄🙄
I would bet my mortgage on there not having been any death threats. That’s a TRA tactic, not something gender critical woman tend to do.

Matt Walsh is a foul misogynist and I can't get behind him even if he does speak some sense on trans issues. I wish so much that more progressive voices would talk about this topic, I hate that conservative assholes are the only ones who seem to be willing to do it. 😭

I was going to say the same thing. Although people on the internet threaten death for literally anything, so it's possible I guess. But it does seem a stretch for GC women.

Death threats? I doubt it.

Or does "please use the word 'women' not bleeders" constitute a death threat these days.

Exactly. We need some prominent scientists just to put some cold hard facts out there.

I feel like women wouldn't be QUITE so annoyed if it seemed like the company/CEO was trying to do anything OTHER than pander. Using "bleeders" just seems like such an obvious way to get in the good graces of the TRA crew, so it feels insulting AND disingenuous.



Under any other circumstances, this would rightly be described as sexual assault.
It’s a horrible term for us. In parts of the UK “bleeders” as a curse word to call someone for being annoying, etc

Exactly. WHERE ARE THE SCIENTISTS?!?!

I don’t know who the guy speaking is so I can’t comment on that but Thomas isn’t ‘gender confused’ or any other sort of confused. He knows exactly what he’s doing.

Jameela Jamil can duck right off. ‘Bleeders’ doesn’t even make sense. Everyone bleeds, only one sex bleeds from the uterus every month.

I would rather it had said womb owners rather than bleeders. The act of bleeding is still classed as disgusting by some cultures
