First I've heard of this event. sounds awesome. What is LAWS?

What happened with Linda and Venice?

How was it advertised? Will there be any more?

Julie Bindel's article about the Swiss sex market:

I managed to go the pub after and talk to a mumsnetter who I've seen at three events now and always forget her username. It was great to talk to you again!
I also talked to a woman who has written for the Guardian on fertility issues and miscarriage. She was wonderful. In fact I talked to so many inspiring women, some had come from as far as Lancaster. Talking in real life to strangers who get it. It's such a relief.

The highlight for me was Bindel but the horrific Geneva information was truly awful. I'm genuinely shocked by that.

Great event in a beautiful building (and no trouble from transactivists as far as I could see?)

No protesters at all! I don't know about phone calls but if there were any they clearly didn't get anywhere. I've seen one or two snarky tweets but that's it.

Great event in a beautiful building (and no trouble from transactivists as far as I could see?). I didn't get chance to find the group of Mumsnetters but, when speaking to other women about how they got more interested in feminism Mumsnet did come up so I must have at least met some lurkers!

I had a great time, wish I hadn't been so knackered that I had to give up before making it to the pub though Grin

Great to meet so many women that I've known online for years!

I had a great time but didn't make it to pub as my friend needed to get back

Prawnofthepatriarchy · 01/12/2018 15:50

It was brilliant. So much food for thought. Still buzzing. And lovely to meet so many Mumsnetters, as well as other women I've met before.

I told Anne Ruzylo that it was an honour just to see her and she said she recognized me from a previous event. I was so chuffed.

I missed a lot of people though. Was knackered so didn't stay for as long as I have done after other meetings. I wish I was 40 and could stand around in pubs till kicking out time.

Thank you to LAWS. Hope you are recovering. Brew
It was a fantastic evening with brillant speakers. My head is still buzzing.
It was also great to meet so many wonderful women at Westminster magistrates court and spend the day in the pub with them.Smile

Voice0fReason · 01/12/2018 11:52

The speakers last night were outstanding.
Julie B and the lady from the Freedom Programme were riveting.

arranbubonicplague · 01/12/2018 08:47

next London WPUK meeting is?

The next one is Reading on Dec. 4 but I don't know about the next one in London as opposed to family near.

tarziew · 01/12/2018 08:38

Does anyone know when the next London WPUK meeting is?

Macareaux · 01/12/2018 08:28

It was a fantastic evening. Well done to everyone who organised and spoke.

arranbubonicplague · 01/12/2018 08:18

I was on my own - tho' I can see the back of my head in a Twitter photo :)

I can not produce a code word as I didn't really manage to chat to anyone.

Did Linda and Venice reveal any more about what had happened - I'd been hoping they'd be invited to give an account but given there wasn't enough time for a Q&A it was understandable it didn't happen.

ContessaHallelujahSparklehorse · 01/12/2018 08:06

Looks like it was a fab evening - wish I could have been there!

heresyandwitchcraft · 01/12/2018 08:01

Huge thanks to LAWS for organizing an amazing event! Flowers

Writersblock2 · 01/12/2018 07:25

Thank you everyone who attended. We still can’t quite believe how amazing our speakers were and how brilliant the venue was. What a fabulous evening. We really hope you will all support us as we move forward.

keeponspinning · 01/12/2018 01:22

I was there and we agreed a code word to prove it so here it is: flamingo.

Clambering · 01/12/2018 00:43

I've just got home. It was inspiring. So brilliant to hear all those excellent speakers. I went on my own but found a really interesting group of women to talk to at the pub. Thanks so much to the organisers, it's made me want another meeting very soon.

doctorbarbie · 01/12/2018 00:30

What an amazing evening. Thank you to LAWS for putting it on.

Chandlersthirdnipple · 01/12/2018 00:19

I was there. Loved it! Bring on the next event!

Melamin · 01/12/2018 00:00

What a day! So happy for everyone involved.

And there is a WPUK meeting too, next week. Smile

EmpressAdultHumanFemale · 30/11/2018 23:44

Linda & Venice at the end. What a bloody brilliant night.
