I've just decided that I will wear more formal shoes/boots (ie a low heel) for work - cos I want to do a bit of subtle 'power dressing' & look more suitable for promotion!

I know how that sounds, but I have been wearing jeans & converse up til now so I'm not exactly talking 4 inch stillies.

If you have a look at the Too Many Cuts blog you can see how innoccuous it was. Especially as all the information used is in the public domain. I do hope it was Councillor Coleman himself who reported us. I'm not in the slightest bit intimidating, honest. Grin

Hedley - you got banned from twitter? [impressed]

Quite a lot of swearing is fine here, although if you're banned from twitter I'm a bit wary of saying 'go ahead'

Hi MMMarmite, you'll find me on the WTF are Frothers fred complaining about Getting banninated off of Twitter. I'm not sure if swearing's allowed in Feminism so I'll refrain. Grin

Primrose I have read only two feminist books and the rest of my posts on here are my own vague musings

They seem quite feminist to me Hedley :) I lurked for quite a while too. Look forward to seeing more posts from you.

  1. I will continue to promote the fact that treating everybody equally well is the way forward. That to discriminate for any reason is wrong.
  2. I will stress that their mother is a brilliant role model. She survived a really fucking nasty bastard and now has a lovely partner. Neither of which is me.
  3. I will continue to stress to them the value of thinking for themselves. My son told me that proper education doesn't start till you get to uni, as school doesn't teach you to think. He's right, and this is why I keep on telling them to question everything they're told.
  4. I will keep treating people how I wish to be treated: by being polite and friendly.
  5. I will have a smile on my face in public even if inside my heart is aching.
  6. I will post more as opposed to mainly lurking.

Sorry that none of these are feminist but what can you expect? Grin Wink

  1. I will focus on my career and ambitions instead of just encouraging dh with his.
  2. I will make time to exercise.
  3. I will teach my children to leave my things alone so I can get dressed properly. None of these count as "me time" btw, they are just things I need to function well.

  1. Stop judging women for not fitting patriarchal standards eg. not slim enough, not well dressed, too arrogant, not interested in having children.
  2. For every book written by a white person that I read, I'll read at least one written by a person of colour. Ditto for films.

(1) I will continue to refer to genderless characters (wow toy drivers, animals in story books) as "She".
(2) I will finish my PhD
(3) I will get a job and start a pension
