This is an important post (and petition) by Rosie from Make Me a Sammich. Please read, sign, and share. Thanks.
Trigger warning: violence against women.
TL;DR: Sign the petition.
UPDATE 8/29: Refocusing on DuJour
I have rewritten the petition letter to focus on DuJour, but have left The Standard as a recipient for now. This campaign is still getting press, and if the petition takes off, would hate like hell for them to miss out on all the fun.
Please continue to share the petition and contact your media peeps.
Thank you for all your help and support!
UPDATE 8/28: On Fauxpologies and Small Victories
In activism, we have to choose our battles often accept small victories when we’d rather announce that we got everything we wanted the way we’d like to. In the case of The Standard, I’m pretty sure we’ve heard all we’re going to from them unless we step this campaign up in a major way. (DuJour has not responded yet; more on that in a bit.)

I have to say, I have no idea at all what they’re selling with that pic…

I know! What the hell, right? It makes no sense to me whatsoever, except that it’s just wrong.

So Disturbing! And I always wonder about these lame ass apologies… you didn’t mean any offense, but seriously: no one on your staff thought this seemed a little… off?

Exactly, Dawn. You think hundreds of people would have seen this before it was printed. It’s very disturbing. Please sign the petition if you can. Numbers do matter. Thanks.
