Yes Google, I choose products not by their quality but by the vendor's genitals.

I worked for a "women owned business" once, even had the phrase on my business cards.

Never met the "owner", never laid eyes on her. Her husband was there every day running the business though. He told me that putting his wife's name on the corporate paperwork opened a crazy amount of doors for opportunities, grants, business loans, etc.

What the actual fuck

KCStinger · 2021-04-22T06:10:18+00:00

Get a female CEO, Google. Maybe they'll lead you to better success, why not start with yourself? Fucking hypocrites.

I choose not to use google.

Never tell a man how to spend his money, thats what Ive always believed.

Starmind0 · 2021-04-22T06:38:05+00:00

Google is disgustingly misandristic.

This stuff is getting out of hand lol.

I thought that after March ("Men Are Rude Cock Havers" - month) we wouldn't have to deal with this anymore.

Quix_Nix · 2021-04-21T23:30:27+00:00

Use Duck duck go or qwant. Don't support Google

maritalades · 2021-04-21T21:57:19+00:00

Google shouldn't be used for any reason. Best to use Duckduckgo.

dtyler86 · 2021-04-22T04:49:47+00:00

Amazon does it too. So does Fiverr. It’s unreal

Appropriate_Ad_661 · 2021-04-22T11:52:15+00:00

oh, how oppressed women are.

Korbinator2000 · 2021-04-22T07:21:22+00:00

affirmative action, ever heard of it?

DEVOmay97 · 2021-04-22T16:30:39+00:00

I don't give a singular rats ass who owns a business honestly. Man or woman, white or black, big or small, straight or gay, christian or muslim or atheist, whatever. It literally does not matter. I'm interested in 3 things. The quality of the product, the price of the product, and the quality of the customer service. You could pop outta the womb on some thanos type shit lookin like a purple Shaq with a niki minaj sized butt chin and if you had the best business in those three categories I'd still buy from you over other people.

In my experiences, the companies who make a massive effort to advertise that they're owned by one of the "wokester protected classes" rather than simply advertising the product itself are typically the ones selling the shitty products because instead of investing in a good product they're just capitalizing off of wokeness by saying they're owned by (x) group. The only demographic I've seen this not apply to is veterans, though veterans aren't really all that protected by the wokesters so that makes sense.

kian772 · 2021-04-22T07:50:37+00:00

This is exactly how i feel about “black owned businesses” i dont care about your race just let me buy your shit

RubberDingo · 2021-04-22T05:19:06+00:00

It's "Lean In" feminism. A bourgeois liberal feminist idea that equality for women is achieved when just as many women are part of the 1% as men. When just as many high flying, freeloading corporate fat cats are women as men. When just as many women politicians order the bombing and robbery of brown poor women aboard as do men. It's a pro-status quo, pro-capitalist and pro-inequality position. One designed to blind rich feminists to the fact they oppress and benefit from the oppression of many other women from lower classes. Lean In feminism can never create an equal society, but it can create equal gender representation in the elites who screw the rest of us.

I use DuckDuckGo because fuck google

sailpat123456789 · 2021-04-22T15:53:30+00:00

I stopped using google a long time ago. They went from a search engine almost to a political organization.

Professional_Mine2 · 2021-04-22T04:25:39+00:00

I saw this today. Ridiculousness

Sure. Show them so i can avoid them lol

Causal_Calamity · 2021-04-22T07:21:08+00:00

Funny a lot of the women led businesses in my area get closed

The_Kids_Lying · 2021-04-22T04:40:07+00:00

I got a dialogue pop-up for that today while I was using Maps! Wtf google

V3N0M3 · 2021-04-22T05:56:54+00:00

Ok google, find me women-led hot milfs in my area 🤡

UbiquitousWobbegong · 2021-04-22T14:31:39+00:00

The worst part about this kind of crap is that it perpetuates bigoted thinking. Like it legitimately makes me want to shop at white male owned businesses just to spite them.

In video games, do I care about the gender of the protagonist? No. I can identify with a female lead just as well as I can with a male lead. But if you go out of your way to force a female lead down my throat, and advertise your game as so "woke" for having a female lead, I'm not going to play your game. You actively make me want to avoid it.

This is what activists don't seem to understand about affirmative action. Yes, you have a lot of people who don't care about the principle of the matter and support affirmative action because it feels good. But it's polarizing, because you're disadvantaging individuals of the outgroup based on their immutable characteristics. You are committing the same type of sexism or racism as you are fighting, you're just reversing the direction of the flow.

You can't fix discrimination with more discrimination.

i dont get the hate this feature helped me find my drug dealer!

FreedomThinker20 · 2021-04-22T10:51:12+00:00

Use DuckDuckGo, Google is cancer.

Wocko_Jillink · 2021-04-22T14:13:33+00:00

on a loosely related note, use duckduckgo as search engine

Less BS and more privacy

2021-04-22T07:10:05+00:00

Stopped using google search and gmail. Switched to iPhone with iCloud completely disabled - Nextcloud for cloud storage, calendar and contacts sync.

I don’t need those cunts to tell me what is right for me all the while selling my data.

Should thank them though for giving me a healthy dose of skepticism - prevented me from switching to another big tech company that may appear better now. Now I host my own data. And learned some things along the way on how to do it.

RidingChicken · 2021-04-22T04:11:09+00:00

I think it's alright to have an option to buy from women led businesses. But that's all it should be. An option. A choice that we are given to choose. Not a compulsion.

We fighting over whether Google should do this in actually quite petty. I get it, local female businesses get more traction this way than local Male businesses. But if it's a choice, let the women empowerment individuals choose it. Why should we care.

Secondly, there are many countries where women indeed have problems running businesses and undergo a lot of social sexism. This might be helpful to them. The situation of female entrepreneurs in many countries is not even in close resemblance with the United States.

However with that said, I saw many people here recommending search engines other than Google. And my two cents on that

Duckduckgo is a great replacement. Qwant is another awesome one. However the one I use the most is start page, which runs on a Google backend. The search results are generally very similar to what you'd find in a generic google incognito search, but highly privacy focused with no logs.

I use google for my work related searches(the logs stored give me a better experience), which is mostly surfing across stack overflow. However for my personal life I use DDG and startpage interchangeably depending on as the need may be.

swollemolle · 2021-04-22T08:50:18+00:00

Yea I saw that and it instantly triggered an eye roll. I want to see Google say something like that but for men...

imbecile · 2021-04-22T12:16:47+00:00

The fact that they can do this for women led businesses, but not for businesses that don't profit from war and slavery is quite telling.

RevolutiOnaryMix616 · 2021-04-22T12:16:57+00:00

I only work for men

HorrorFan1191 · 2021-04-22T12:48:47+00:00

It searches for restaurants when you click search for woman owned businesses. Think about that for a second.

Kamakazeebee · 2021-04-22T12:57:06+00:00

i know i saw this and i was like wtf google

read-a-lot · 2021-04-22T15:58:04+00:00

This is rather stupid as by inverse logic you could avoid all of the “minority” owned businesses regardless of what that minority may be.

goback2halfchan · 2021-04-22T18:29:39+00:00

OK, thanks for the comment... Brand.

2021-04-23T04:42:15+00:00

It's 2021, don't use that company for anything.

D0wnVoteMe_PLZ · 2021-04-23T19:41:18+00:00

I'm sure you would be considered a creep if you only buy from women-led businesses too.

"OMG! Why does he buy from shops run by women? Is he a pervert or something?"

Objective_Watch · 2021-04-22T03:37:12+00:00

I just use opera for all my naughty searches and safari because well on my phone it’s still set to default search engine

Don't forget to paint a yellow star on your wall

PM_ME_NICE_STUFF1 · 2021-04-22T06:53:18+00:00

Well, I do now Google. But not in the way you want me to.

---crispr--- · 2021-04-22T09:18:00+00:00

Good, now I know which businesses to avoid, thanks Google, rather support men owned ones.

helloimderek · 2021-04-22T11:36:32+00:00

It's like the situation with these "pride" pushes. By using the rainbow flag businesses seem more progressive and accepting and are condemning hate.. all that blah, blah while forcing their employees to give up their phones during their shifts and pee into bottles.. r/aboringdystopia

Edit: grammar

TerribleModsrHere420 · 2021-04-22T11:41:29+00:00

Didn't it used to say find local hot girls in your area. Damn feminist had to change that!

ZS_1171 · 2021-04-22T11:46:48+00:00

Search for black-owned businesses near you. I see it in ads all the time.
