This woman is standing outside King's College Cambridge every Saturday afternoon protesting against the silencing of women.

Isn't she amazing?

How do I view the picture? When I click on it on my phone it doesn't get any bigger so I can't read what her sign says.

Awesome! Flowers Flowers

Brilliant protest. Well done maniacmagpie

Bravissima! Star

Amazing. I sometimes convince myself I have the balls to do stuff like this. Always turns out I don't, so endlessly grateful to other women putting themselves at risk, wish I had the courage, and eventually I might, with a bit of luck.

Yeah think your right thanks Dragon.

Bowlofbabelfish · 27/01/2019 13:41

Incredible. If I lived closer I’d be supplying you with fortifying tea and snacks.

CisMyArse · 27/01/2019 13:39

maniacmagpie I'd stand silently by your side if I were closer. I'd hope that more people would do so too. Your bravery is humbling.

Well done and thank you.

There is a very interesting thread here

Dragon3 · 27/01/2019 13:21

Yeahnahyeah I wonder whether it was to stop this discussion being considered a thread about a thread? So that they don't have to remove this one. Not 100 percent sure though

Yeahnahyeah · 27/01/2019 13:17

Still learning here.... Can someone explain why the link I put up to maniacmagpie s first thread (Cambridge) was removed by MN?

That's amazing. Brilliant costume and banner.

@maniacmagpie you are amazing. I remember seeing a Cambridge thread and ignoring it too cos I don't live in Cambridge. this looks like a reason to visit, need to hunt that that thread first ...

Winnie2019 · 27/01/2019 12:59

@WTFIsAGleepglorp - thank you.

WTFIsAGleepglorp · 27/01/2019 12:46

Here you go @Winnie2019,
Fill your boots.

In short, The Women's March is 'inclusive' and 'intersectional', meaning anyone who identifies as a woman can join in.

Women's March organisers referred to the 23 women MPs at the time of joining the European Union as "menstruators".

Fuck that.

JSmitty · 27/01/2019 12:39

Not even true in its own terms.

Of the 23 female MPs in the HoC in 1973, the older ones would be past menstruating and some of the younger ones would have been on the pill.

2ndWaveFeminist · 27/01/2019 12:38

Oh wow!

with so many threads and not living in or near Cambridge I hadn't opened that thread thought it was a meetup

manaicmagpie you're amazing

BoreOfWhabylon · 27/01/2019 12:32

@maniacmagpie

You are a total shero! I'm probably old enough to be your granny and I (rather curiously) feel very proud of you and for you!

I only wish I lived nearer to Cambridge so that I could come and stand beside you Flowers

What is the background to this? If somebody could point me in the direction of a article to read on this subject it would be greatly appreciated Smile

Thanks.

NotTerfNorCis · 27/01/2019 12:23

That is great!

Dragon3 · 27/01/2019 12:22

OMG I just skimmed manicmagpie's thread (having ignored it because thread title references Cambridge). I'm open mouthed at her persistence and courage. And feeling very protective of her.

I hope that she has lots of kind women around her IRL for support.
