Dove Faces Boycott for Partnering with
‘Fat Liberation’ Activist who Targeted
UVA Student for ‘Misheard’ Remark

Original Article

Personal care brand Dove is facing a boycott after partnering with Black Lives Matter and “fat liberation” activist Zyahna Bryant, who ruined a white UVA student’s life in 2020 over a “misheard” remark. Now, #BoycottDove is trending on X/Twitter. Dove recently partnered with Bryant — who spread a false rumor about a fellow University of Virginia (student) in 2020 — in a new and bizarre campaign to promote “fat liberation,” a move that resulted in the hashtag “#BoycottDove” to trend on X, formerly known as Twitter.

She's not fat -- she's Obese. Her appearance is bad enough, but also is BLM to the max. No more Dove for me.

There is nothing at all special about this woman. She is morbidly obese. The health problems associated with that kind of weight are numerous. Instead of holding her up as some kind of bizarre role model she should be encouraged to get into a health and fitness program. The woke corporate vultures are contributing to her early demise.

When 'liberation' becomes 'celebration', it should be something worth celebrating. Being a walking Goodyear BLiMp is not one of those things.

Now it's "fat liberation,," is it? My advice for the obese: Stop eating and/or get some exercise. This is a matter of personal responsibility and self-control. Yes, that's takes work.

I can say this here because I'm anonymous. I hate seeing fat and homely (Fat girls are not necessarily homely) men and women in commercials. I am certainly not Twiggy (ask a Boomer) but when I'm looking at underwear, makeup, clothes and (e-gad) bathing suits, I don't want to see myself. I want to imagine that the products will improve my appearance. Even if is only in my imagination. I know there is no magic in what they sell but I'd rather not feel that I'm not starting out in the hole. This whole campaign goes against logic.

My wife and I both hate the Jardiance commercial with the dancing overweight woman. While type 2 diabetes strikes men and women, overweight or not, typifying overweight women is not a good way to advertise your product.

Lancet‘s guidelines encourage writers to embrace gender identity instead of biological sex. “Sex and gender are often incorrectly portrayed as binary (female/male or woman/man), concordant, and static,” says the guidelines. Therefore, those submitting articles “should use the term ‘sex assigned at birth’ rather than ‘biological sex,’ ‘birth sex’ or ‘natal sex’ as it is more accurate and inclusive.” Inclusive for whom? (Rhetorical question. I know the answer. The men pretending to be females) The Lancet claims “there is no single, universally agreed-upon set of guidelines for defining sex and gender or reporting sex-based and gender based analyses.”

OPEC+ reached an internal agreement to prolong its oil production cuts, a move that could raise energy prices in the U.S. ahead of the pivotal 2024 elections, Reuters reported Monday. The oil cartel, made up mostly of Middle Eastern nations and other oil-producing states — is prolonging existing production cuts of 3.66 million barrels per day through the end of 2025 and extending its ongoing cuts of 2.2 million barrels per day through September 2024, according to Reuters. The cartel’s deal to extend the cuts could mean that oil prices will remain high through this fall’s presidential election, according to The Wall Street Journal.

United Methodism’s largest overseas jurisdiction has voted to quit the denomination in response to the church’s divorcing sex from marriage at its governing General Conference earlier this month. The United Methodist Church in the Ivory Coast voted on May 28 to exit the denomination. In 2022, this conference reportedly had over 1.2 million members. So, its departure means over one tenth of United Methodism has in one day left the denomination. Oddly, United Methodist News Service reported the vote very briefly in an emailed news digest but as of today has no article on its website. Perhaps it will post a fuller account later.
