Calls to #BoycottHersheys after Ottawa transgender activist Fae Johnstone featured on chocolate bar

A social media campaign by U.S.-based chocolate giant Hershey's has garnered both a hateful response and a loud chorus of support after a call to boycott the brand's chocolate over ads featuring a Canadian transgender woman.

We are making progress here folks when I was at university 40 years ago the guys always joked about the "Hershey Highway".

Well, it's gotten pretty broad since then.

People are pointing out that a man is being used to promote women on Hershey Bars.

Hi, we are from Hershey’s. There aren’t enough worthy women to honor, so we will honor a man that likes to play dress up. Aren’t we so progressive and woman-loving!?

When I visited Canada in 2014 and 2015 I found Nestle bars everywhere with Hershey bars a rarity.

Are they trying to increase market share in Canada?

Actual woman are the ones that can stop this travesty.

Refuse to compete against them, in sports. Don't support them, at all.

I don't need their product.

They can give my bar to Fae so that he can shove it up his!

“Supporters rally around trans activist in Hershey’s Women’s Day campaign”

I’d like to hear from some of the Ukraine Cheerleaders how this Shiite is going to make us strong enough to defeat both Russia and China, AT THE SAME TIME.

And I only say this because BOTH governments appear to think doing this crap will work.

The absolute pinnacle of idiocy.

So.....

The best person they could think of to serve as a symbol of womanhood on International Women’s Day is a man pretending to be a woman.

“Fools, all of them”

Fools? What backlash are you thinking about, they know that women are never going protest & give up their precious f****** chocolate. Geeze. Can’t stand that that shite myself. Never could. Maybe it’s a blessing. But omg the way people talk about chocolate you think it was heroin and they were all addicted. It’s stoopid cray-cray.

The founder would be rolling in his grave that I could guarantee.

This is why we need affirmative action. Men are better at everything including being women.

As Ricky Gervais said, I like my women the old fashion way... With a uterus.
