Hershey’s Canada’s woke “Her for She” campaign debuted an ad on Wednesday in honor of International Women’s Day on March 8 that features on its candy bar wrapper transgender woman Fae Johnstone, a queer, trans and feminist activist who is also a “2SLGBTQUIA+ Advocate.”
The move set Twitter on fire with users blasting Hershey’s over the ad campaign. Many thought it was obscene to use a transgender woman to represent a pro-female celebration.
The short clip shows Johnstone posing with the limited-edition candy bar. She provides a voiceover attempting to explain the lame and offensive inclusivity initiative.
Obviously, men are better at being women than women are.

HerSHEy has bought the woke and will pay for it at the bottom line. Buy Lindt instead.

Maybe its a surprise thing. You think you're getting regular chocolate but when you unwrap it, it has nuts.

For decades the Women's Movement had been harping on this theme: Women can do anything a man can do. Now a lunatic fringe contingent of men are flinging this back at them: there is nothing unique, or special about being a woman. Anyone can be one. Anything a woman can do, a man can do....better. When a society begins not only to condone, but worship, psychosis, the end is near.

So sad - - so very sad - - even "conservative" media outlets use the communist word "gender" - - instead of the actual word "sex."
Is there no one who will rid us of the commie control of our language?

Haven't they been watching Disney stock fall through to the basement? Americans do not like perversion.

Why do companies feel the need to politicize themselves? It is such a turn off. Please, just sell your product.

In the voice of Arnold Schwarzenegger from “Kindergarten Cop”- “It’s not a Woman!”
Americans are getting tired of this foolishness…

Here is one of the biggest lies ever perpetuated on America: “We value togetherness and recognize the strength created by diversity,”
There is no evidence that diversity creates strength. If anything, it creates dissension.

That company has an idiot running marketing. He should be fired on the spot. Does that person really think using a man to be the symbol to honor women ?

The biggest question to me at least is how do these brain-dead incompetents ever get to run a vast corporation???
Let alone run a corporation to maximize profits against ensuring a valued product is put into the marketplace!!

Good going poster #3...we really need your good old fashion anti-semitism, especially on a website founded by a (wonderful) woman who married a Jew (SHOCK!) and had Jewish sons! Socio is a name I will look for in future posts, so I can establish where the bile is coming from.

#14, what is really discouraging is that the CEO will still reap his benefits and it is the employees who will feel "the broke" - truly sad.

#6, they also used the creature’s preferred pronoun, calling him “she”.
JK Rowling is right. The trans activists are trying to cancel real women.

I have been posting here for around 20 years and have the utmost respect for Lucianne Goldberg and what she built.
You need to be aware that the term "antisemitism" is nothing more than a control word, used to illicit a learned response, no different that the the terms, racist, phobic, and the n-word are. It is a behavioral psychology called Pavlov conditioning. Those that use those terms are almost always bad people trying to shut the good people down, don't be weak, don't be controlled.

Pretty fitting that Hershey’s is using in it’s add celebrating “Women’s International Day”, whatever the hell that is, by casting a gay man who likes to dress up as an extremely ugly woman and undoubtedly takes it up his own, pardon the expression, Hershey's highway on a regular basis. Whoever came up with this marketing disaster at Hershey's should be thrown into a boiling vat of their horrible tasting chocolate.

What is 2SLGBTQUIA+ ? The letter people have more made up designations than they do genders. Hershey hit the woke liberal jackpot with their trans and ethnically diverse woke activist females. Who was left out of Hershey's ad was real, normal women who actually represent women who purchase Hershey's chocolate.

#6 we rid ourselves of it by refusing to use it. Don't play the word game with them. Speak as an American. Correct them by using proper terminology.
Those who own the language run the society and culture.
I fight back every single day by not playing the word game with them.
If I can it you can too. I live in Assachusetts. I'm a gold medalist in FIGHTING BACK.

Talk about shadow banning---I just went back to the posts for this article, particularly #3 which was blatantly anti semitic and to which I responded---and found that though it had been up for many hours it is now gone, probably because someone at Lucianne read MY commentary on its antisemitism.

And as to poster # 19, maybe if #3 was still up you would get the point ---but maybe not. I am Jewish and there IS antisemitism, despite your "learned" screed. And it is up, by the way, according to all down the middle statisticians. Poster # 3, now somewhere in the Cloud, was very clear that all problems are caused by those Jews at BlackRock and beyond. THAT is not a code wording---- the specific use of "Jews"---that is a plain antisemitic statement.

Absolutely fascinating---now the "real" poster # 19, to whom I responded, is gone forever neath the streets of Boston.......zippo----gone as if he/she never existed. So I responded to a phantom who felt the word antisemitism was just a dog whistle.

The 1792 exchange, a new nonprofit seeking to counter the rise of “woke capitalism” and the leftist trend of Environmental, Social, and corporate Governance (ESG), the umbrella strategy for pushing progressive agendas into corporate boardrooms, has compiled an index of over 1,000 companies to evaluate their political biases.
https://1792exchange.com/spotlightreports/
"SUMMARY:
The Hershey Company has allegedly terminated employees due to their vaccination status, though there are no other cases of the company terminating business relationships due to political or religious differences. Hershey's funds the Human Rights Campaign (HRC) and supports the Equality Act. The company does not have viewpoint protections for its employees. For these reasons, The Hershey Company receives a "Medium Risk" rating."

Seek out and buy Canadian Laura Secord chocolate. It is far better anyway.
