I really doubt that boycott had any effect at all. It was a fringe movement plain and simple. Most people realize that it was nonsense. If you’ve ever been in a Target bathroom I’d like you to explain how you’d get away with taking photos of someone in a stall. It’s simply not possible to do it and not get caught.

When you look at the number of Sears, Kmarts and JC Penneys that are closing, I think we can safely say it had nothing to do with the boycotts.
 
She simply states that:
The boycott cost the company millions in lost sales and added expenses. Shopper traffic and same-store sales started sliding for the first time in years after the blog post, and the company was forced to spend $20 million installing single-occupancy bathrooms in all its stores to give critics of the policy more privacy.
without giving any evidence that it was the boycott that cause the drop. How did she come to that conclusion?

The article headline doesn’t really match the story. In the story she says that the CEO was blindsided because he didn’t authorize the blog post that promoted their bathroom policy not that he was blindsided by the boycott.
 
I stopped shopping at Target in April 2016. I have not set foot in a target since. I have made adjustments to shopping at Shopko (regional store chain) or maybe sometimes walmart. I have also increased my amazon.com shopping.

Target has let men into the women’s dressing areas and a few have been seen using cell phones to video tape women trying on clothes.

Target needs to feel the pain in their bank account & in their stock price, to realize that the privacy of actual normal biological women takes precedence over a man who “Feels” like he is supposed to be a woman!

Dude, that happens everywhere. I had a person trying to take pictures of me going to the john by putting his cell phone under the stall door at a Catholic institution. I didn’t stop going to Church because of it.
 
  1. i am a woman and 2) I don’t think you understand. Taping a woman undressing is WRONG. Its perverted.

No, I understand. I am a man, but taping a man while going to the bathroom is WRONG and perverted. My point is that this happens all the time, whether you or I like it or not.

No need to champion policies that make it even easier, then. Not sure what about your experience makes it okay to be lax such things.

Not being lax, I was just saying that this idea that a person trying to film someone in a private place is not uncommon or unique to Target.

That is certainly true. I do think Target is making it easier, though. While what happened to you is awful, I don’t think men should have any allowable chance to do the same to women, either.
