Throwing women under the bus? What?
Has political correctness actually gone mad?

These are the kind of people that call others snowflakes.
You think feminist campaigners are using the term snowflakes?
These are terfs.
I dunno what they are or call themselves, just saying that those getting all offended because they removed the symbol from the packaging most likely talk about others getting offended easily.
These are feminists getting annoyed at the change, so I highly doubt they're the kind of people who talk about other people getting offended easily.
"Transgender lobby'? Why were they so offended by a venus sign anyway? Who cares?
What's the perceived overlap between the 'transgender lobby' and the 'PC brigade'?
I guess trans stuff comes under the umbrella of PC for whatever reason.
I've never been nuked by Gandhi. Although I always play as Gandhi because the war elephants are op early in the game.
It seems like literally one person contacted Always, who then said they had listened to the feedback. The only people appearing offended are the women on the other "side".
Well that first one sure likes using the word snowflake
Surprises me. Most rad fems are also (obviously) against a lot of the people who will be using those kind of terms.
But either way, yeah .. rad fems/terfs are constantly outraged by something or other.
What are terfs?
Feminists who are anti-trans people.
It stands for trans-exclusionary radical feminist.
Complicated isn’t it? Groups that fight for rights and equality don’t always believe in rights and equality.

So it's only the Venus symbol on the product of a sanitary towel that suggests women exist? Because funnily enough I'd have thought the pad itself should suffice in suggesting that. I can't say I've ever noticed a Mars symbol on a packet of condoms, does this mean Durex are denying the existence of men?
I called olly DwayneOlly deep down the rabbithole.
I think I'm right in saying Julie Bindel has been one of Britain most important feminists of recent times but nowadays she spends most of her time slagging off trans women and sex workers.But many of Always’s female customers have responded angrily to the move and are vowing to switch to other sanitary products.
Leading feminist campaigner Julie Bindel told The Mail on Sunday: ‘Removing the female symbol from sanitary towel packaging is basically denying the existence of women.
‘We’re now moving towards the total elimination of women’s biology. The women’s symbol has been used by feminists for decades. This is pure cowardice and virtue signalling from these big corporate brands who are capitulating to the trans agenda.’
Women on social media sites also aired their fury at the decision by P&G.
Maya Forstater, a women’s rights advocate who lost her job as a think tank tax expert for saying transgender women are not women, tweeted: ‘The venus sign in biology is used to represent the female sex (you know, the ONLY people who will ever need these products). It does not represent gender identity.’
Another objector, Lizzi Watson, said: ‘Biological women should just boycott the brand, then they might realise real women have feelings too, which they have somehow ignored.’
A third woman tweeted: ‘Guess I will also be boycotting @always for throwing females, the ONLY sex that menstruates regardless of clothes or other superficial gender expressions, under the bus.’
These are the kind of people that call others snowflakes.
The things bigotry does to people minds. Its pretty sad.
Imagine having so few issues in life that writing to Always to complain about their logo becomes a top priority.
It's like that lawsuit against the makers of The NeverEnding Story.
Variant on the usual 'one of my best mates is black' defence.

Some instagram whatsit has been accused of, something?

Read the article, browsed the Instagram comments, and all I can make out is you falling victim to a Sun article.Some instagram whatsit has been accused of, something?

95% of outrage culture is really people being outraged about outrage culture. Sure, the other 5% can be talked about, but my god are these tabloid-fabricated pseudo scandals tedious.
Firstly, a woman being asked for Id should take it as a complement, secondly, her parents should have learnt the correct spelling before naming her.
Something a girl say on Jeremy kyle show before her ex comes out on stage, admitting 'yupp definitely a racist'.
What is wrong with people. In the middle of the scandal report, there is pictures and news about a new boyfriend. I never click on this sort of stuff, but it is spectacular to actually see how they manage to write a report with the intention of intertwining cultural appropriation scandal and the new relationship of random blonde girl in question. Media forms how people think, not the other way around. You get articles like these and pretty soon you have all these cluttered up opinions on important subjects spouted at you from every angle, forcing you into choosing some extreme measure of opinion to combat it. Sucking life out of their readers for money. Should be illegal. 'Cooking crack in the basement and selling to the high school kid' type of journalism right here.I like the feature on my Google News feed that allows me to block certain news feeds, like the Daily Express, etc. because it’s always sensational headlines from them.
My life has enough drama without me clicking on those sites looking for more.

Yeah it’s a small minority of people, I didn’t say it wasn’t. But they’re still ridiculous opinions, and deserve ridicule.
Whether or not they’re newsworthy is another matter.
My wife lectures at a University and just got called racist by one of the baristas for ordering a black earl grey (meaning without milk).
Perhaps the wrong terminology but racist......

Is it like a hobby, hunting out ridiculous opinions to ridicule? They will always exist.
Not really, it’s usually funny when they appear though.
Just so long as your lolling at it and not getting enraged and thinking it's PC gone mad I guess it's all gravy.
Either way it wouldn’t make their opinions any less hilarious. However people want to point it out is fine by me.
I can't think of any other terminology that could have been used, I mean black tea has always been called black tea, you might be able to say milk less tea but that sounds weird.My wife lectures at a University and just got called racist by one of the baristas for ordering a black earl grey (meaning without milk).

I’m struggling to think what the logical progression could be let alone let alone the finale.
Yeah, I got nothing either. I guess you roll all of the DM's folk demons of gays, immigrants, muslims, benefit cheats and the like into one person and replace Britannia with him or her.
