SAMPLE LETTER

Dear CafePress:
 I am asking you to stop selling 225 items that use the term Donkey
Punch.
"Donkey Punch" merchandise promotes sexual violence against women and
is
in clear violation of several of CafePress guidelines. According to
Ryan
in Customer Service and Candice in Content, CafePress has already
reviewed the matter and found no policy violations. I think selling a
t-shirt glorifying the practice of punching a woman at the base of her
skull to enhance one's orgasm is "generally offensive or in bad
taste,"
that it "depicts violence," and that it does "signify hate towards
another group of people."  I hope you feel the same, and will pull
these
items from CafePress. Please respond!!!!!
Sincerely,

CafePress, the online store sells shirts, stickers, and buttons
featuring the artwork and slogans of everyday people.  CafePress
handles
the printing, inventory, and shipping while extracting a reasonable
fee.
CafePress is a conduit for creative folk with something to share but
not
much of a budget.  Sometimes people might submit artwork that's simply
too offensive to grace a t-shirt, but CafePress has its own guidelines
to screen out the truly hateful stuff.


We have learned of 24 stores within the CafePress family that sell a
total of 225 products featuring the urban slang term "donkey punch."
This term, which is not found in Webster's, was defined under an
internet search of urban slang sources beware the following disturbing
definitions:

!! WARNING: GRAPHIC/TRIGGERING LANGUAGE FOLLOWS !!

>From ubersite.com
"Donkey Punch: The supposed move involves the male punching the female
in the back of the head or neck immediately prior to orgasm. The
alleged
purpose is to cause the muscles around the vagina or anus of the
female
to contract around the male's penis, creating a supposedly enhanced
orgasm for the male. A variation of the practice may be enacted to
distract the female, allowing for the surprise penetration of the
anus.
It has been speculated the term may refer to the surprised female at
this point "bucking" like a donkey. "

>From quantumphilosophy.net "Donkey Punch:  Banging a girl doggy style
and then moments before you come, sticking your dick in her ass, and
then punching her in the back of the head. This gives a tremendous
sensation, but for it to work correctly, the girl must be knocked out
so
that her asshole tightens up. "

Apparently the element of surprise is key in producing the desired
effect.
In other words, a woman's consent
to be punched in the head is not requested in advance.

We have no way to confirm that donkey-punching is being practiced, but
it
is certainly being promoted at CafePress.   Visit their homepage
http://www.cafepress.com/cp/browse/?Nao=3D1&No=3D1&Nty=3D1&pp=3D&N=3D0&Nt=

k=3DAll&Ntt
=3Ddonkey+
punch&x=3D5&y=3D11
 and you will be confronted with 225 products ranging from hats ("Give
this to your girlfriend, and tell her to wear it backwards next time
you
take her to bed") to shirts ("A Donkey Punch is the greatest thing
invented.
Women love it whether they want to admit it or not").

Ask for Candice in the Legal Department.  If they won't put you
through,
her direct number is 510-877-1926.  If Candice isn't available, ask
for
Maureen or Lindsay.  Once you have a live human, explain why you are
offended by the 225 "donkey punch" products currently in CafePress
stores.  If you have bought from the company in the past, mention
that.
Refer specifically to the content guidelines and ask the staffer to
explain in detail why these products do not violate them.  If they
cannot do this, ask to speak to someone who can.
Try to keep them on
the phone as long as you can, but remain polite.  Conclude by saying
that you will refrain from buying any CafePress products until the
offending items are removed, and will encourage others to do the same.
Promise to follow-up your conversation with an email, and request the
best email address for this purpose.  They'll probably give you
.
(INTERNATIONAL ACTIVISTS: call Candice directly at 510-877-1926 or
skip
ahead to #2)

 and 

 (or any other email you
were
given).

through CafePress.  Include the URL from your keyword search.  If you
spoke with a live staffer, summarize your conversation, noting whether
or not you were satisfied with their responses.  Refer specifically to
the content guidelines and ask the email recipient to explain why
these
products do not violate them.  Say that you look forward to all of
these
products being withdrawn from their website, and that you will
postpone
any potential CafePress purchases until they are permanently gone.
Request a reply.

2a. (optional) We have identified a number of CafePress clients who
sell
pro-feminist, anti-violence, or pro-gay merchandise.  Write them
emails
expressing your concerns and requesting their help in convincing the
company to withdraw the offending products.  Don't threaten to boycott
them.
Yet.

organization, maintain a mailing list, post to a blog, or command a
small army.

so
we can keep track of our progress.  Please DO NOT include this address
in your communication with CafePress.

the action gets underway.  As always, if you wish to be removed from
