Today I listened to the radio. An advert was broadcast for a company trying to sell tiles.

I shall not be purchasing their tiles due purely to their choice in how they advertise.

I looked up the company name using google. I then hit the 'contact us' link and filled it in as below.

It reads:

Dear Sir or Madam,

I was thinking of re-tiling, but according to your recent advert only women & girls can do it well, so I'd best not spend my money at your shop here I'll only get it wrong like all the men in your adverts.

However, I wondered if you would kindly direct me to a specialist like tile-choice, but one that doesn't rely on bashing men to make their point?

Regards,


My-name

This is another campaign of theirs that is NOT using misandry to promote their product.


Note that I use 'misandric' in my answer to their question box for "How did you hear about us?". I put that in specifically because we all know that 'misandry' is not a part of most people's vocabulary, yet they will likely know 'misogyny'.


So, as you can all see, arm-chair activism is not difficult.

Go on... write to a company that advertises using misandry and let them know your thoughts.

Then post a screen cap here or do a copy/paste job so we can see your arm-chair activism efforts.





C'mon... what you waiting for?
