In August, lecturer Cathy Boardman of the British and Irish Modern Music Institute in Manchester posed the question if a white person in blackface is racist, “What about ‘womanface’?” The institute promptly fired her for asking the question. They said she had upset transgender students and dismissed her. Eat your watermelon and smile, baby.
I really shouldn’t have voted. I never bought any Nike product in my 80 years so neither answer applies. I’ve boycotted them because I always thought their products were over priced and over hyped. There are plenty of more reasonably priced products on the market.
I've worn NB for years. One pair is three years old worn steady. Never could wear Nike. So my boycott continues unabated. As for Bud light "Making love in a canoe." Comes to mind.😁
i have one nike product. it's a winter knit cap with a small brim. it doesn't have a recognizable nike logo, so i wear it when the temp is under 25. besides i spent that money twentyish years ago
For similar reasons I stopped buying Levi's jeans (and Docker's clothing, which is owned by Levi-Strauss) back in the late '70's, when I learned that they stopped financially supporting the Boy Scouts because (at that time) homosexuals we're bared from participation. So Levi's went woke clear back then, and I've been wearing Lee and Wrangler jeans ever since.
Mr. S. is certainly makung the mind lose its track with polls such as this.Havent purchased Nike in twenty plus years,so hard to boycott a non entity in my mind.Was out for an adult libation with friend last Friday and the convo turned to Bud with a remark on your Va. c_store sign.The waitress who is our age tryed to defend the thing until my friend informed her he too had been a male trapped in a womans body.He shut the discussion down by informing her problem solved when his mother gave birth to him.
I wondered why so many major corporations were going woke so quickly. I wasn't aware of the CEI deal. Maybe if Budweiser and other companies feel the pain of lost profits, they'll realize that CEI isn't all that. I've been boycotting Nike for decades, probably before Kapernut was born.
Right you are. We normies had better speak now while we still have a First Amendment. Speaking of normies, how many of us had to memorize the Preamble to the Constitution in school, and each must say it aloud in class?
The Preamble, Gettysburg Address, The Declaration of Independence (sans the Articles),23rd Psalm, and books of the Bible. And I went to public elementary school in early 1960s. There were scores of American poetry assigned to memorize during this time as well.
Sadly, as the post-modern period took hold somewhere around 1968 and thereafter, memorization skills were dropped to the detriment of all students.
And now with dependence on phones & address books we generally can’t remember our most frequently called phone numbers! I used to know dozens by heart. Now I have to double check even my husband’s number when asked. How embarrassing
P&G writing down their GIllette razor business by $8B a few years ago wasn't made up by anyone. InBEV will lose sales permanently with this stunt, how much so we will see.
Bud Light going under would be nice, but tiny. A-B shareholders need to file a class action suit against Mulvaney and ALL pro-homosexual organizations for the lost shareholder value. Sue them for every dime they've ever seen. The Lord said "the poor you will always have with you". May it soon be those who have earned destitution.
It would seem to me the corporate leadership at A-B would be most responsible for the fiasco. They made the decision. Mulvaney, besides being a freak, only said yes, I'll take your money.
Your poll illustrates why these companies do this. They think that their regular customers won't notice, and if they virtue signal, a larger audience will forget about their abhorrent business practices (slave labor, for example).
Drag queens and transwomen like Dylan Mulvaney are men engaging in negative stereotypes of women. They are doing "womanface." And I think the whole "blackface" thing went too far. Is it insulting? Yes. Do we need to cancel people over insulting things? No. I have the same feeling about womanface. It's insulting, but we still don't need to cancel people over it.
However, I would really like people who do womanface to stop being rewarded for doing womanface and for the people who hyperventilate over "digital blackface" to admit that transwomen and drag queens engage in womanface and to treat the two types of "face" consistently. For the record, Thomas doesn't even do woman face. He just pretends to be a she because he couldn't cut it in men's sports. I guess I find that even more insulting than womanface. We can ascribe all kinds of negative motivates to white males without proof, unless they declare that they're women and they take a few hormones and then they can cheat women out of scholarships and prize money.
But I suppose I don't really blame the people themselves. This is a societal problem. We always let the reasonable drift into the unreasonable, and I don't know how to fix that.
After the damage feminism has done to our culture, I cannot develop much sympathy for it. Fact is, feminists deserve everything they get from a world they were instrumental in creating.
This is THE PLAN. Without a common set of PRINCIPLES a nation cannot stand. Don't look to the eager, amoral punks on the front lines. Look to the dirty hands in the background.
There is an infested generation of operators inside all the Universities, Colleges, Corporations and all Governments. And if America does not blowtorch them out, then insider enemies will have done what the outside enemies (so far) have failed to do.
As a native of St Louis, I have many good friends who work for AB, and will now likely lose their jobs as The King of Beers dies. So sad, but this life long Bud drinker is now drinking Yuengling.
As far as woke companies to boycott, add Walmart to your list. I was in Walmart a week ago to get a OTC medication only Walmart sells. Anyway, this Walmart was dead as business goes and I noticed that all the customers were black and my parting shot was "Good luck staying in business.". After hearing the story of a fat black woman who put a miniature TV between her legs and tried walking out of the store with it, I thought to myself "Walmart is in more trouble than they realize.". A month later that same store closed.
The one near us cant sell food because it is infested (any food, even the cans). Inspector said it was the worse site he had ever inspected food wise. They called him to reinspect a week later, and he said it was even worse, and not to call him. It takes a month to really get rid of varmints, rats, mice and insects and do it right.
We quit shopping there a couple decades ago. Hubby was the only white guy in the building at 6ish pm and he got followed around. Told me when he got home, he wished he had been jumped. He had a really really bad day at work and would have enjoyed it. Guy who followed him must have caught that vibe and left him be.
For sure, the trannies have ‘daggered’ the feminist movement, then again it deserved to die; Feminism is an upper class female conceit.
I really shouldn’t have voted. I never bought any Nike product in my 80 years so neither answer applies. I’ve boycotted them because I always thought their products were over priced and over hyped. There are plenty of more reasonably priced products on the market.
I prefer New Balance athletic shoes over Nike - not just because Nike is "woke", but because New Balance shoes fit better.
And aren’t they made in New England? And also come in widths.
Lawrence Massachusetts.

Indeed. "Pour it back in the horse," also comes to mind.
i have one nike product. it's a winter knit cap with a small brim. it doesn't have a recognizable nike logo, so i wear it when the temp is under 25. besides i spent that money twentyish years ago
I'm in the same camp-never bought Nike products. Though 80 years is a way off, yet. Over-priced
and over-hyped--yup.
All Rocky roads lead to Soros.
“Dylan Mulvaney ... the Michael Jordan of chicks with dicks.” Too funny, Don, you’re a comic genius.

Lee jeans are a superior product.

I don’t think it matters to the woke corporations if they lose money from backlash.
First, they get “big gay” off their backs.
Second, they get dark money from Soros & Co. to subsidize their bottom line.
But we “normies” still have freedom to let our voices be heard--for now.

Many of us share your embarrassment.

Bottom line: there are no adults in the room telling these people to grow up and behave.
Pretty much.

The best way to start my morning, Donald. Important piece.
Bud - The Queen of Beers.
80's commercials that were FUNNY('Bruce' Piscopo): https://tinyurl.com/muuawspa
This Bud’s not for you: )
Love it!
Remember the musically over-produced, "Real Men of Genius" ads? We'll never see/hear them, again.
No kidding!

Yes. Dirty hands, and sore backs of those who Keep On Keeping On! "Trampling out the vintage, where the grapes of wrath are stored. "
As a native of St Louis, I have many good friends who work for AB, and will now likely lose their jobs as The King of Beers dies. So sad, but this life long Bud drinker is now drinking Yuengling.
I enjoy Yuengling also and think it's far superior to Budweiser. I had that opinion long before the Mulvaney episode.
In Texas we can get Shiner. If you could get it where you live, you might switch to it.
Just sayin'.
Might I recommend Shiner?
Yuengling beer is tops as far as I am concerned.
It's about damn time people started saying NO to all this craziness! I hope Drag Queen Story Hour is next on the chopping block.

Maybe Budweiser is doing good for bad reasons: by disgusting its customer base, it's giving them the opportunity to discover the joys of real beers.
