The inmates of prison planet have had enough. The depraved establishment is pushing too far now. Peak leftism is its own cure.
Actually I think your gross underestimation of how upset people are about this is delusional. It's not going away, but millions of people are, and they're not coming back.
The author of this screed seems unfamiliar with the terms "soft target", or "low hanging fruit".
Target had no reason to enact this policy.
Transgendered "women" would have continued to use the women's room.
Lesbians would have continued to use the women's room.
Bisexuals would have used the same bathroom they always have
The WHOLE issue is about pervy heterosexual men going into the women's room. Period.
I guess that Target literally WANTS perverts in the women's room.
Who otherwise cared?
I often ask liberals this:
So are you OK with a man sitting in his car outside of your daughter's elementary school choking his chicken?
No! Ew! How dare you.That's a crime!
OK, but then why are you just peachy with the VERY SAME GUY jerking off and filming your daughter INSIDE her school, or at Target, or wherever?
You know, I could actually believe the precipitous action and the unforgiveness. I’ve seen enough of that shoved back in my own face when I have pleaded for a comprehensive view to be taken.
This is part of the instant gratification internet addicted nation that we are about. They offered a pledge to boycott — not even a petition with an ultimatum, which would involve a patience factor. Tappety tappety tap tap tap BAM and there you are, on the short attention span of the average American. Easy peasy. Due respects paid for how deftly that was worked. (It could be copied. And not just by people that agree with us, however.)
While this is going on, oddly enough I find God leading me in the opposite direction. Especially, to stop getting hung up on the internet or on trends with short fuses. Snap judgments have a way of becoming unfastened, as the old adage went. There may be a rise in general “rest room awareness” with the result that molestations, etc. (even at Target) will actually go DOWN, not up.
From the article:
On Friday, the shares of Target Corporation Common Stock (TGT) fell 2.52 percent in one day
*************************************************************
From you:
“Walmart stock went down the tranny toilet at the same time so I don’t know if this drop is all about that issue.”
You are exactly right. On the same day Target stock dropped 2.52%, Wal-Mart stock dropped 2.96%. Nothing to do with the boycott, although I hope the boycott eventually makes their sales tank. I neither go to Target or own stock of Target.
Basic math
Number of men that will dress up as women so they can take a crap in a Target women’s bathroom, thereby making all the women and girls feel threatened.
VERSUS
Total number of men and women that will stop shopping at Target because they do not agree with a policy that makes their wives and daughters feel threatened every time they use a Target bathroom.
I have one a block away from me. I almost never shop there though I’m always shopping in that plaza area. First they compromised everyone’s credit card data. Now this. F Target.
Excellent post.
Wish all could read it.
Perhaps trumps was right when he said just leave things alone.
i dont thin he knew at the time though, that companies were gonna start letting men, dressed like men!, use the ladies room.
Shareholder derivative lawsuit time?
Target’s advisory was so broad that it seemed to invite even the latter to happen.
I’m sure it was intended as a bunch of lefty feelgood, but it got about as much thought as way too many lefty moves get, i.e. none! It was based in the gut and not in the head. To keep some kind of decorum would seem to be a minimal expectation.
I think it’s raised bathroom awareness. I thought I could see that happening even at the Chick-Fil-A I visited this afternoon!
Since Walmart stock fell worse than Target, I would call it premature at this point.
Not so sure I’d go so far as to say it’s delusional (witness JC Penny’s), but good analysis.
[[[Microsoft fell from 56.5 to 50 this past week, over 10%. Did they invoke such bathroom policies? No. Should they? Who cares?]]]
I care. Corporations are not just about dollars and cents. All too many corporations have joined the homo-fascist campaign to stomp out Christian freedoms.
We shouldn’t conflate public decency with Christian freedoms. If we do, we run the risk of overreaction by those who mostly just don’t want to be badgered to worship.
Top Twenty Sexual Crimes Committed at Target Stores

Of course all of this in a painful vacuum, like what regions of the country, what time frame, how does this compare on a per capita patron basis to other retailers, etc.
I do not even shop at Target and signed my name to the petition.
Which really shouldn’t count. But games like this are de rigueur, it seems.
I have my money where my mouth is, I AM short the stock. (via puts) Not because of any boycott, but because as I said, $84 is the highest price TGT has seen in many years and is a price area that was soundly rejected in mid-2015 and that is a kind of bet I make all the time on anything that appears to me to offer that type of opportunity. I hope to make enough on my short bet to pay the higher prices for my freaking adult diapers at WMT.
Just kidding.
