This story in The Telegraph<\/a> covers a battle looming amongst Marks & Spencer (a UK retailer) shareholders concerning M&S’s surcharge on bras of size DD and above.<\/p>\n

In summary, there is a bunch of lunatics calling themselves Busts 4 Justice who cannot accept that the extra material required to make a larger bra warrants an extra charge. Basically, they’re a bunch of feminists… and all that that implies from the perspectives of intelligence and reason.<\/p>\n

Ever since I can remember, if I want an XL (or XXL, or XXXL, depending on the system used – usually, a mere L wouldn’t fit a Barbie Doll) T-shirt then I am accustomed to pay more for it than if I bought an S (which probably would need a magnifying glass to see properly). The same goes for underwear, trousers, shirts, suits, and so on.<\/p>\n

Why do these idiots have to assume that brassieres are any different?<\/p>\n

Ah, yes! They are feminists – so although anything which is pro-male is evil incarnate, it is completely acceptable for things to be pro-female… and the more anti-male the pro-female propaganda is the more acceptable it will be to these morons.<\/p>\n

Can you imagine what small people might start doing if they twig that they’re paying the same as women with big breasts and tiny brains?<\/p>\n

I also heard on the radio at lunchtime that this organisation has bought shares in M&S, and it plans to disrupt the next shareholder meeting with its protests (heaven knows what form these will take).<\/p>\n

Edit: Seems like a lot of people are actually interested in Busts 4 Justice’s website – it’s actually a Facebook page and <\/strong> you can find it here<\/strong><\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

They’ve got 15,500 members, and I can’t help wondering how many of them are men. But I will point out to them all\u00a0that although M&S appears to have scrapped the surcharge (i.e. it is now making a loss\/less profit\u00a0on the larger sizes at a time of recession – well done ladies), it has done so not because Busts 4 Justice is right but because it wants to avoid the bad publicity childish behaviour at a shareholder meeting would create.<\/strong><\/p>\n
