Well, considering they also did it last Summer, you guessed poorly...

Everyone is welcome to drink Bud Lite, and everyone is welcome to buy whatever North Face is selling. No one is being discriminated against and in fact, everyone is invited to purchase these items.

That's what THIS thread is about: retail companies that choose to market their products to attract a variety of "types" of people, rather than the narrower demographic of "straight white men/women whose chromosomes match their mentality."

It's really a huge nothingberder but apparently it hurts a lot of straight white men/women whose chromosomes match their mentality in their feelings place.

I am just glad this is about their keeping their clothes on.

The demographic of straight white men/women whose chromosomes match their mentality isn't NARROW, but rather the normal majority.

Did the guys that dress as women get to leave Ukraine during the war? Or do the historical male/female roles revert to their normal state when the poop hits the fan. Ukrainian men get slaughtered as they are forced to stay behind, yet the women get to abandon their country. Makes me wonder if a bunch of Corporal Maxwell Klinger's all of a sudden "found themselves"

And it's all because you don't like gays? Guess you are not a church goer.

Yes, also look into ESG scoring. Economic, social, governance scores given on every company and countries as a whole. It’s scary how lending, investing, credit can be based on ESG scores. Never even knew what it is before now.

To the person who said just a fade.

The difference in this “fade” is that it requires your body being mutilated with no return. The worse is it is targeting children that don’t have cognitive ability to understand the long term ramifications of body mutilation.

Unfortunately you can’t boycott all who are onboard with Wokeness. I retired from a company who had started shoving DEI down our throats in 2019 before it became mainstream. No publicity about the company, but it is 100% on board. There are many out there who are smart enough not to flaunt their indoctrination policies publicly, so you’ll never know.

How a commercial that has a man, complete with mustache, prancing around in rainbow gear and platform shoes will sell more outdoor gear is beyond logic. Not a single piece of North Face gear in the ad.

Now Target is gone stupid too

My understanding is... Target did "remove" the the front od the store to the back of the store.

Nothing to do with liking/disliking gay or trans people or religion (Baptists teach that it’s men and women, no gay folks). I worked with many, both openly gay and trans. I don’t care that they have Pride Week and have even attended a Pride parade and it was fun. It’s the subliminal indoctrination as well as the blatant indoctrination and the “equity” part of the equation. I don’t care who you choose to love and spend your life with, I just don’t agree with the lines that are being crossed that these woke companies are supporting; i.e., “glorifying” the absurdity of their actions, such as this ad; anatomical males being allowed to compete against anatomical females because they “identify” as a female. Had the ad been done in good taste, that would be different. Also, I don’t think that I’ve ever been in a store with a giant display at the front of the store “honoring” anything other than holidays or seasonal things, thus the rub.

I had to select binary vs non binary on one of the last surveys I took at work. I was not familiar with those words and needed to goggle to find the difference.
