Motorola Donates Phones to "Save Women's Lives"

	posted by Nightmist on Friday August 31, @03:54PM from the inequality dept.
	In a new woman-oriented PR move for Motorola Corp., the company is rounding up old mobile phones, which it then plans to donate to shelters for female victims of domestic violence. The company claims it wants to provide safety for women by providing them with an easy way to call for help. There are no plans for a similar campaign for male victims of domestic violence. I suppose this is better than donating pepper spray.

Any shareholders? (Score:2) by frank h on Friday August 31, @04:08PM EST (#1) (User #141 Info) If any of us are shareholders, I would suggest you contact Motorola shareholder relations and ask why this is restricted to abused women only and not available to abused men. Their reply will likely be that they will be happy to give one to an abused man, should he call. Then ask them why they don't say that in their propaganda. Complain loudly. As a part-owner, you have a right to. Frank

Yes, give them another tool. (Score:1) by DanCurry on Friday August 31, @04:24PM EST (#2) (User #245 Info) This arms the woman who falsely claims Domestic Violence with an addtional tool in which they can use to taunt the man that they have accused. I'd rather see them receive boxing training head gear. Dan Curry DanCurry.Com
