Talk:White ribbon

message: Um, while I'm sure this article covers the most notable symbology, I've seen plenty of lists that included "abstinence" and "bone cancer research" as other common meanings for the white awareness ribbon. Why do these not get a mention? Runa27 22:54, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Because "abstinence" and "bone cancer research" don't want anything to do with a misandrist movement that somehow evades Canada's rather thorough hate-crime laws?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.77.66.165 (talk) 10:42, 24 February 2008 (UTC)

text: abstinence falls under the useage of the WCTU.  The WCTU has used the white ribbon to signify abstinence since 1873.  I have made that the FIRST and MOST PROMINENT use.   --  Further,  the article fails to cite the white ribbon against pornography campaign, and I'll try to fix that later.

message: "The WCTU claims to be the oldest continuing non-sectarian women's organization worldwide. However the oldest continuing non-sectarian women's organization is the LDS Relief Society founded in 1842." This kinda reads like '... but they're totally wrong - so there![citation unnecessary]'. Also the LDS Relief Society is hardly non-sectarian, they're a direct arm of the LDS church and claim all women in the LDS church as members. Refer to their website. 2601:603:4202:DF0:94B7:45F2:E2A8:D459 (talk) 00:20, 3 November 2015 (UTC)

message: I removed "In Belgium, white ribbon is a pro-capital punishment symbol." from the Other uses section. Being Belgian myself and never having heard of such a thing as well as finding no basis whatsoever for this unsourced statement, this does not belong in the article unless a valid source is given. - Vadigor (talk) 23:03, 8 December 2008 (UTC)

message: Does such a movement really exist? Is there a "pro-violence against women movement"? 75.118.170.35 (talk) 19:46, 28 January 2009 (UTC)

message: The symbol of Forgiveness is the yellow ribbon:
Thomas S. Monson, current president of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints cites the story as the precursor to the tradition of the yellow ribbon for welcome home and forgiveness. (see the sources).
So Forgiveness is a part of the article about Yellow ribbon and must be deleted from this atricle.--Vladimir Shelyapin 05:50, 26 February 2013 (UTC)
