Controversy Over Hershey’s Campaign for International Women’s Day

Hershey’s Has Deleted All Their Social Media Back to October on Twitter & November on Facebook & Instagram

Hershey’s International Womens Day campaign has created mixed reactions across social media with some advocating in support while others are boycotting the chocolates due to its inclusion of transgender representation by Fae Johnstone.

What is International Women’s Day?

International Women’s Day has transformed from a movement for labor rights to become a global celebration of the progress and achievements women have made throughout history. The day was initiated in 1908 when 15,000 brave and determined women marched through New York City demanding their basic rights – shorter working hours, improved wages as well as suffrage. A year later saw its formal recognition by the Socialist Party of America formally declare it National Woman’s Day leading to IWD being recognized internationally by United Nations over 100 years on. Today, IWD is celebrated on March 8th and marks an occasion where we not only salute strong female leaders but highlight issues that continue to persist such as pay gaps due to gender without fail.

On 8 March, International Women’s Day is celebrated around the world in various ways. In Russia, flower sales nearly double on that day, and its days surrounding it as a national holiday. Chinese women are typically granted half-day off work by their State Council to commemorate the occasion while Italians take part in ‘la Festa della Donna’ where mimosa blossoms represent many symbolic values from one person to another. Meanwhile, Americans have made every month of March dedicated to Women’s History Month with yearly presidential proclamations honoring American female accomplishments across diverse fields such as education and business alike. Purple, green, and white are the colors of IWD, according to the International Women’s Day website.

What is the Controversy?

To celebrate International Women’s Day, Hershey’s Canada released five limited editions of “HER for SHE” chocolate bars that feature the faces of inspirational women from diverse backgrounds who have made a lasting impact. These range from Autumn Peltier, an Indigenous rights and water advocate; to Naila Moloo – a climate innovator; Rita Audi – championing gender and education equality initiatives; Kélicia Massala – founder of Girl up Québec organization; as well as Fae Johnstone: executive director at Wisdom2Action consulting firm and a transgender activist. The campaign has created mixed reactions across social media with some advocating in support while others are boycotting the chocolates due to its inclusion of transgender representation.

Who is Fae Johnstone?

According to Fae Johnstone’s webpage, “Fae is a trans woman, small business owner, a feminist, a writer, and an advocate. She is a white settler, from a middle-class family.” One thing is very clear, Fae Johnstone is not a biological woman and for Hershey’s to feature Johnstone in a campaign for women is literally a slap in the face to biological women everywhere who know the true struggles of being a woman in today’s society.

People who don’t agree with Johnstone are labeled “bigots” and “filth.”

Thank You Jeremy Boreing and The Daily Wire!

Jeremy Boreing, co-founder and Co-CEO of The Daily Wire is saying a lot. After Hershey decided to virtue signal the radical trans agenda, he launched Jeremy’s Chocolate. Thank you Jeremy for standing up for biological women everywhere!
