I've signed. I am also keeping a tab open in my browser and looking at it every hour or so. It's very encouraging to watch the numbers climb.

MrsBodger · 13/03/2018 07:59

3000!

SuitedandBooted · 13/03/2018 07:54

PLEASE keep bumping and commenting on this version of the petition too. It's on AIBU, which has far more reader than this board. I'm going to keep at it as much as I can.

Omgwtfbbq I was the first FoD to sign, and now we are two. Hello whoever you are Smile

cloudtree · 13/03/2018 07:47

signed and DH has signed and DM has signed and BF has signed

SuitedandBooted · 13/03/2018 07:43

Please share where you can. I appreciate that some people may be in a more difficult position re their jobs, but all most people will get is a few pissy remarks from the professionally offended I'm-so-right-on brigade.

So what, do you want them as friends anyway? (and are multiple people on Facebook etc really "friends? Confused) My friend are people who enrich my life - we don't have to agree on everything, but we can at least agree to differ. Anyone who can seriously object to this is either;
a)Pretty ignorant
b) An utter mysogynist

So good riddance!

I was the first one to sign in my Glos constituency but it’s still a pretty normal colour - too scared to share on FB 😢

worstwitch18 · 13/03/2018 07:11

Almost 3000 and still some grey constituencies. A large part of it is just spreading the word I reckon.

BlackeyedSusan · 13/03/2018 06:52

got up to 2195. now 2924. watching is addictive.

MaximumVolume · 13/03/2018 06:27

On my personal FB share, I have 7 likes and 2 shares, so hopefully it will have a bit of visibility today.

MaximumVolume · 13/03/2018 06:25

@CoffeeMilkNoSugar that's sad. I shared in mine and nothing has been said at all. However, we are now a dark spot in the middle of the country, so I think a good few have signed!

Gruach · 13/03/2018 06:18

Signed.

littlebillie · 13/03/2018 06:04

Put it on FB not one like or comment if it was a kitten dancing in a tutu it should be shared actors the globe 🙄

StickStickStickStick · 13/03/2018 04:06

Signed. At around 2800 but it needs 10000 (or 100000!!) To go anywhere. I don't know if feminism board on mn has that reach.

And do you know what makes me so angry? That I just wondered whether I should put DS, who wandered into my bed for a snuggle and is now fast asleep, back in his own bed because my bedroom faces the road and I might get a brick through the window Angry How dare the political establishment foster this environment where men openly attack women for defending thei rights and protections, and use the instruments of state to assist them? How dare they?!
