I got the idea on the thread where people said they felt sad and overwhelmed by all the sexism everywhere, I feel the same. But surely there are things we all can do.

So let's brainstorm!
I'll start
#1. Donate to Women's Aid

#5 Value your female friends, support them, enjoy them, big them up, celebrate all of their achievements, bask in the true beauty of women, the beauty that's been hidden and devalued and stolen.

This, for me, has been the true joy of being a feminist.

#5! I have fat fingers today

Support other women. Stop criticising their choices, and start criticising the patriarchy that constrains those choices.

#4 reclaim the word "feminist" which is also not an insult!

Or, if preferred

#3 reclaim the word "woman". It shouldn't be an insult FFS!

We seem to be at the same stage here

I have no idea what to do to change things, but also feel that donating to Women's Aid is a good first step.

#2 Challenge sexism whenever you encounter it. Eg, when hearing sexist comments

It'll be interesting to hear from others
