I don't disagree. Just pointing out that the women in this thread come off much like the woman in her blog.

If it were done quietly no one would even notice, but that isn't the point, it has to be announced and make front page news on CNN so we can be beat over the head with it like this is ending some huge social injustice. The criticism of this shite is always warranted.

What causes a person to be such a count and makes them feel compelled to bitch about such petty bull shite? I'm equally as pissed at these businesses that bow down to said count.
That makes you one of them.

They wouldn't do it if they didn't think it would make them more money.

What's the point of enacting a marketing plan that no one knows about? Of course they are going to announce it. You usually see adverts on TV when Mcdonald's does their monopoly thing too.

I wish I had enough time to worry about how signs can be harmful and let them hurt my feelings

Bullying is a necessary thing. Nothing too crazy, but it can be a good thing. A boy should see girl when he plays with a barbie, and other boys should give him shite for playing with them.

Guys I wish I could bring myself to care about the erosion of the institutions that form the bedrock of our society but I'm so short sighted, and it's so gradual and incremental, I don't care.

What are they marketing? This is a major corporation and national retailer making the equivalent of an insane post on tumblr.

I won't be shopping at Target if they cave that easily to the liberal lunatics.

Parents and gender equality advocates welcomed the news

In other words, just gender equality SJWs. Guarantee there was not a huge uprising among parents demanding this.

No, it doesn't.

It's your passive aggressive way of trying to stop people from proper outrage when they are calling these busybodies out on this bullshite.

"If you so much as say something about this ludicrous crap, you are just like these ninnies. Because, I, ballscaster said so."

I am all about equality in gender and race, sometimes too much so, but this is getting out of hand.

They are marketing themselves as a socially conscious company. They are giving people who care about such things to select them over their competitors who provide pretty much an identical product.

They can only win with this. Most people won't care, and most of the people who do will lIke it. Do you really think this is motivated by anything other than money? Really?
