To many women, Dove products may seem like a favorable alternative to other items on the market. Their ad campaign seems to emphasize that beauty is something within and all are capable of possessing it. This image is very different from other beauty products in which companies try to convince you that you are worthless without their makeup, lotion, etc.
One does not have to dig too far below the surface to discover that the parent company (UNILEVER) which owns Dove, also owns Axe, a body spray for men. Those familiar with Axe commercials can recall that these 30 second clips degrade women far worse than any makeup commercial on the market.
The Axe ad campaign completely invalidates the Dove commercials (and products) because it reflects that Unilever does not care about feminism; the CEOs only are interested in selling as many products to as many audiences as possible.
Now a new discovery: Palm Oil
Unilever is purchasing palm oil from companies in Indonesia, which are actively destroying the fragile and disappearing rain forests.
Simply one of these reasons is enough to boycott Dove (and Unilever in general).

More than Housewives
Three HouseWives
These women planned and executed a 300 hundred mile expedition to climb the Himalayan Mountains. Their achievements, including being the first European women to enter the area, were long forgotten until the recent release of a short documentary.

Just another example of the many women [and their accomplishments] which have been excluded from the records by the makers of history.
