Announcement about ManFriday

With great sadness the ManFriday team would like to announce that we have decided to hang up our beards and bring ManFriday to an end.
It's been a brilliant year and we've achieved so much but with the FPFW campaign and so much other things going on we feel the group has run it's course.

While we won't be actively campaigning our Twitter will remain open drawing attention to the cause and you can still buy feminist bags and badges on etsy and Facebook Wink

We'd like to thank everyone who has supported ManFriday right from the start, all the women that have worked in the background as well as those participating in direct action.

Thank you! Flowers

You are amazing. Thanks for what you did.

Thank you, ManFriday, for bringing humour to the cause! I was so pleased to meet you in Manchester.

I used my ManFriday bag as my signifier when organising the GRA consultation meeting (all two of us Grin) in Cheshire. Worked a treat Grin.

Thanks Man Friday. I still think of your stunts and smile sometimes.

The warmth and self-deprecating humour cut through a tense and hostile climate when nothing else seemed to be getting through.

Well done FlowersCakeWineGinStar

Thank you, your place in history is well deserved.

Thank you Flowers

MsJeminaPuddleduck · 20/11/2018 22:28

Oh wow that's sad ☹️ but completely understandable given the harassment you get.

I think it was a brilliant initiative and achieved so much so thank you brave feisty women for putting yourselves out there for exposing the nonsense (with humour too!) for the sake of all of us.

It really bought home the point that most men really do not believe the ideology in the least when it directly affects them (no matter how loud they are with the 'why can't you just be nice, budge up and all get along' noises when it's women's boundaries that are in the frame)

Your stunts are one of the things that put it on my radar so a personal thank you too for that. 💐

Weezol · 20/11/2018 22:28

Your work has been so valuable. It is my go to example when explaining the whole circus of lunacy to the men in my life.
Thank you so much.

KatVonGulag · 20/11/2018 22:27

You massively helped bringing this to the public eye. Hang up your fake moustaches and know I'm grateful for your bravery.

PierreBezukov · 20/11/2018 22:27

It's sad that you're ending. You've done some brilliant work and raised a lot of awareness. Thank you.

ContessaHallelujahSparklehorse · 20/11/2018 22:26

Thank you, men.

Velella · 20/11/2018 22:26

Well done for your bravery, humour and effectiveness x.

YesItsADebate · 20/11/2018 22:26

The fridge magnets are tear-free. 😢

There will be a blog post shortly but thankyou so much everyone for an absolutely incredible year.

Popchyk · 20/11/2018 22:25

Well done to all of you.

You have raised loads of awareness and done brilliantly with your campaign.

Time to hang up the mankini.

arranfan · 20/11/2018 22:25

Congratulations for the attention you garnered and for getting some relatively sympathetic pieces in mainstream media!
