Re Snag tights on the previous thread... They have the most tedious advertising. Showing garments on different body types, great, but on their website it's difficult to find a photo of their stuff on a size 14 or 16 woman, something I'd actually find helpful. I'm not sure how many of their customers have a 62" waist, which seems to be what the majority of their "models" look like. Most of us don't look like supermodels but most of his also aren't so morbidly obese we're immobile.

Their customer service is also shockingly bad. I ordered some tights from them and they didn't even dispatch them for weeks and weeks until I emailed them to complain. Extremely annoying when their adverts where everywhere when they obviously lacked the resource to fulfil existing demand.

Re. the TIF in The Mail - what pisses me off is she gets special treatment, plus a private postnatal room away from other patients. The kind of postnatal care that regular female patients can only dream of. All to help her maintain the illusion that she’s a man 🙄

It’s written really strangely though, as if other women are giving birth on a ward. All women get a private room to give birth. It’s down to luck if you get put in a private room or in a ward afterwards. I was one of the unlucky ones who got put in a tiny ward with about 7 other mothers and screaming babies, it was absolute hell. I hated it so much I signed myself out before the doctors wanted me to. I was going insane with no sleep and all the crying babies was like a form of torture. I think this article is saying this person got put in a private room afterwards, reasons for which I do not know but it seems like the article is trying to make you assume she was given special treatment.

Yes, I think that was badly worded. No one should be giving birth on a ward anyway.

I don’t know why news outlets even bother publishing these stories. Female gives birth - so what? Happens everywhere every day. They’re just perpetuating this stupid idea that a man can get pregnant.

"He gave birth naturally" so through his prostate or?

Look love, just admit you like attention, that you feel ordinary and any little bit of interest you can get pleases you, people will understand, we live in a world with Kardashians, we as a society understand attention seekers.

That’s stupid. No one gives birth on a ward. You are in a birthing suite which has a door. I got a private room after because we asked and offered to pay but didn’t have to as there were hardly any women in that night so it was available. Second time went home within 8 hours and stayed in the suite till we left.

I'm sure this will do the reputation of women in this thread as unkind no good, but the fact these mentally unwell people completely out of touch with reality are having children... while some of us functional adults would have loved to have a family but have sadly ended up with men who cannot be trusted not to beat the tit out of us let alone raise children... like how wrong do I have to have gone in life?

When you're a heterosexual woman it's easier to find a man who'll batter you than one who will make a decent father. Meanwhile these batshit sorts are being utterly pandered to and doing untold damage to their confused children who will be made to deny who their mother is. bleeping depressing.

Yeah, the DM journo who wrote that clearly knows naff all about NHS maternity care.

I took it to mean that she was guaranteed a private room after birth, rather than on delivery suite, which are obviously all private. But my point still stands - she was guaranteed privacy, which for most women is a question of luck / depends on the hospital.

So if you're a female who identifies as a man giving birth, you're kept away from other females for your privacy. But if you're a male who identifies as a woman in hospital you're ok to be put onto a female ward?
Either way the non-special women just have to suck it up.

Snag tights.
They’re advertising alone was enough for me to know they’re all about chicks we dicks, I am quite tall. Think Miranda Hart size. I struggle so much with getting tights that don’t have a gusset between my knees. So I was going to have a look as they’re kept cropping up on my social media feeds. I took one look at the models and scrolled way back and then took their adverts out of my feed.
The problem for me is the customer who objected has been used by them to gather likes and comments and free advertising for their products while giving her no respect as a purchasing customer. She’s allowed to have her say if she’s unhappy with something. They won’t last long if you ask me because I’ve read a few complaints about their website and they have no idea how to read the room. It’s probably a man responsible for the post!

Yeah, it was shown on that tweet too! I find it very sexualised advertising and very often an the expense of large women. It’s cruel. Not all women can help their size. Illnesses and disabilities very often require medication that piles on weight. So they people making fun of these photos and it’s not nice. It seems they’re only inclusive to people who love being large or who are intent on staying that size. I’m probs a couple of stone overweight and not terribly happy but my height means I carry it off better than someone shorter would but i don’t look at these ads and think wow how amazing she looks in those I very often think wow she needs some health guidance! 🤷🏽‍♀️

I swear I saw a Snag Tights advert for a harness the other day.
Yep, I’ve seen it. Plus size woman wearing a boob harness over a white shirt. I mean… what? Are we going to normalise more fetish accessories as daywear? Office wear, even? 🤣

Yes! Exactly that! I feel like so many brands are jumping on the virtue signal bandwagon, and the quickest way to show that you have 🌈 super woke 🌈 brand values is to have super plus size and/or disabled models. I think it’s tokenistic and insincere.

I think it was in this thread, but someone mentioned Molke bras and I googled them to see if they were a brand I knew - I remembered their ugly patterned childish crop tops immediately!

With the first image especially, you’d probably be forgiven for thinking that this was some sort of specialist brand of bras just for plus sizes of disabled women / women with limited arm mobility or something.

I'm tall and struggle with tights too. Better Tights are a good alternative to Snag. The advertising is similar but less sexualised and overtly provocative, the products and prices are similar and I didn't have to chase them to receive my order.

ETA: Molke bras could be the most comfortable things on earth (I doubt it, but they could be) and it still wouldn't be worth wearing something so bleeping hideous.

Purple hair is a man right?
You might be onto something there.

The funny thing is, I just assumed they’d used a “not conventionally attractive” model because absolutely none of their models look like, well, models. But maybe, rather than being a bit rough looking, purple hair might be a dude 😆

I just had a look at them and at least they are using normal looking women, not men or the morbidly obese.
