Feminist Apparel Staff Learns Who Is The Boss
2018-07-15
h/t Instapundit
If you go to work for a company called Feminist Apparel, you expect there to be a certain political slant. It's a fair assumption, to be sure. I mean, it's the name of the brand. That's about as clear as you can get.

However, it seems the company's founder and CEO, Alan Martofel, has a bit of a colorful history. It seems he wasn't always the good feminist ally he likes to portray himself as today.

Shocking, right?

Well, in fairness, Martofel apparently had a male feminist version of what we down here in the South call a "come to Jesus moment." As a result, he decided to change his behavior and start his company. At least, that's the claim.

However, Refinery 29 claims that a June 21st post on Facebook accused Martofel of rape and tagged the company. As a result of that, the Feminist Apparel staff did some digging and found a post where Martofel discusses his change of heart. This apparently went against what he told people of the company's origins.

Again, shocking, right? I mean, a male feminist actually being every horrible male stereotype out there? I mean, that, like, never happens.

The staff decided to demand Martofel resign from his own company. Instead, the plan backfired and Martofel fired the mutinous staff, leaving only himself and a consultant.

...It seems like a group of feminists just got a very abrupt lesson in how the workplace really works. Now the question is, will they retain the information or just bask in the narcissism and believe they handled everything right and are just victims in this?

I think we all know the answer.
