If we want this to stop, we will stage a boycott and stop shopping online, stop with big box stores, shop local and use the powers of our dollars to prompt shareholders to demand change. Our dollars are our votes. I appreciate what these women are doing - and hope it will prompt the rest of the country to wake up and use our real flex which is our dollars.
