Started on my scarf today!

These are great for adults too if you don't fancy knitting (got mine in February for the 1918 Representation of the People Act centenary) :

I quite fancy a scarf in those colours...off I go to nag my mother into making me one I couldn't knit if my life depended on it...casting off is like magic

I did notice that the Welsh History museum has a suffragette collection at the moment too. Quite like the bookmark...especially if it'll offend misogynists Grin

Yep AWAs. Why can I not stop thinking of the Silence of the Lambs these days?

CuriousaboutSamphire · 26/09/2018 16:34

THAT I could do! A scarf!!!

My thanks Smile

CrackpotsArePots · 26/09/2018 16:34

O God they are more childish than a 10 year old

Going to get me a suffragette badge

doctorbarbie · 26/09/2018 16:28

I'm also considering making myself a scarf. First task: teach myself how to knit.

Gileswithachainsaw · 26/09/2018 16:10

I've been inspired to crochet myself a lovely suffrage scarf.

RedToothBrush · 26/09/2018 15:38

They get offended by anything that a women does. Its fine when its being appropriated.

Why is that? Its almost as if women can't have women things.

pearlkent · 26/09/2018 15:36

They're not very consistent with what they get offended by are they? Weren't some of them (Munroe B and Caityln Jenner IIRC) featured on some celebration of 100 years since women got the vote (Vogue I think)?

CuriousaboutSamphire · 26/09/2018 15:35

Ooh! If I weren't self employed I would join you in a heart beat, my facebook page is looking a little drab!

Is there a running commentary on the case anywhere?

Beerincomechampagnetastes · 26/09/2018 15:34

I hope Linda continues to get the support she deserves. Star

I've put a Suffragette ribbon over my FB profile pic, and changed my cover image to the Woman/Adult Human Female billboard.

If transwomen are women then they would support the display of a women's suffrage symbol in solidarity. Or even if they were men who identified as women. Wouldn't they?

Unless of course, they weren't women, and their 'loyalty is to the trans flag first' and they see any display along the lines of historical advancement of women's rights as a personal affront to them.

Ah. Yes.

"Progressive".

Bowlofbabelfish · 26/09/2018 15:24

When someone says the suffragette colours are offensive to them, you know exactly what they are don’t you?

Anti woman.

Linda is a strong woman, an amazing woman. I am so angry she is being put through this. So, so angry.

Suffragette colours - offensive. Let the implications of that sink in.

Lottapianos · 26/09/2018 15:23

Bloody good for Linda. Dear god, the other lot are pathetic

AspieAndProud · 26/09/2018 15:18

It made me want an ice lolly.

We should produce special edition Zooms in those colours as part of the campaign.

BlardyBlar · 26/09/2018 14:58

Linda is wonderful.

The anti-woman activism is becoming clearer with every day that passes.

Littlemouseroar · 26/09/2018 14:53

Its about celebrating our right to have a voice, which is clearly unacceptable...🙊
