Borders Books carries offensive products
produced by David
and Goliath. The two journals read "Boys are
Smelly" and "Chics Rule! Boys Drool."
On the plus side, Borders' has been the book
chain who thought enough about men to have a
separate "men's studies" section in every
bookstore we've been in. While, Barnes
& Noble not only won't support men with a
similar section though the have a huge women's
studies section and a large gay & lesbian
section. Ask a Barnes & Noble employee if
they have a men's studies section and the general
answer we get is "Hugh".
In talking with the employees at Borders, they
didn't even realize they carried these items. And,
while they are unable to take action locally, and
all decisions come from corporate, they suggested
we contact Tami Heim, CEO, Borders Group, Inc., 100
Phoenix Dr., Ann Arbor, MI 48108 or
800.315.7323 or fax to 734.477.1901. To find a
Borders close by go to www.bordersstores.com/locator/locator.jsp
While the local managers don't have much say, at
least you can let them know that (1) You
appreciate that they have a separate section for
men, and (2) Your thoughts on their carrying
these kinds of messages on miscellaneous products.
This has nothing to do with the books they carry,
which we encourage all bookstores to carry all
books.
