Stickering

Oh women, don’t be mean. Just sit there with your sewing and smile at everyone...

If I saw a sticker saying Woman=AHF and was not aware of its purpose I would in all likelihood look it up on google, and raising awareness has got to be a good thing.

Not sure how stating biological reality is 'mean'.
Would 'Men don't have Vaginas' be mean? Why (not)?

Out of context "women = adult human female", or "women don't have penises", just seem mean

Are you having a laugh?

Out of context "women = adult human female", or "women don't have penises", just seem mean, as why would you say something that everyone knows is true but some people find upsetting, unless to just be mean?

If someone finds the definition of a woman or the simple truth that said woman has never and will never, have a penis, upsetting, I’m old enough and mean enough to say, “crack on you numpty”.

If biology hurts your feelings, you may need to reconsider your grip on reality.

one should keep an eye out on the inside of the swimming pool lockers, the inside of nappy changing tables, backs of toilet doors. sadly I have been disappointed so far.

I am not advocating this at all, but if you are worried about being spotted, you could always put it on somewhere behind your back and then sneak/ sidle off.

What's the statistic on sexual assault in mixed sex changing rooms - something like two thirds happen in mixed sex compared to single sex.
That statistic should be made into a sticker to be put in the changing cubicles of swimming pools etc.

If anyone ends up with a fine for littering or fly posting, set up a crowd fund to pay the fine (or to repaint your spare room if the rules forbid it).

Out of context "women = adult human female", or "women don't have penises", just seem mean, as why would you say something that everyone knows is true but some people find upsetting, unless to just be mean?

Because it's important to be able to say it. The fact we aren't allowed to say it, not just out of context but in any context makes it all the more important.

The message is partly one of solidarity, so one GC person might see the sticker somewhere / hoodie on someone else whatever, and then get more confidence that they can say "no, actually W=AHF" out loud. Because right now we can't ever say that even when we need to.

Saying W=AHF or WDHP is not "being mean" it's absolutely fundamental to preserving women's rights. The fact you think it's "just being mean" is evidence of your female socialisation working against you.

I find the slogan very liberating.

A Facebook group I was in posted a photo of an adult human female sticker.

Cue outraged pink haired kiddies screaming burn the T*rf etc
But it did lead to an interesting discussion about sex being a protected characteristic and the fact that there is a movement to undermine sex as a binary and therefore sex based rights.

Also the pink ones shrieking "you are all cisexist bioessentialist HETERONORMATIVE monsters etc" probably made a lot of normal people go WTF is going on. They don't translate well in the real world.

Given the behaviour of "scientists" like Alice Roberts and institutions such as the NHM we have got a fight on our hands.

I would never, in a million years, thought this would be a fight.

But, Another, you must agree that 'AHF' is a little more pithy!

No offense, but I don't think that there is any point to this slogan. Indeed, I think that it is likely to be harmful.

What people need to know is what THEY'RE saying. Stickers need to say "trans activists say that sex is all in the mind and the penises can be female and if you disagree you are committing a hate crime" or something.

Out of context "women = adult human female", or "women don't have penises", just seem mean, as why would you say something that everyone knows is true but some people find upsetting, unless to just be mean?

I’m not brave enough to do this but if any police see you, fingers crossed they’re like this

'I don't identify as Bill Stickers 😁

Would it not be, ‘I identify as Milly Stickers’.

Oops - xpost.

When I were a little lass, there were still a few posters about proclaiming 'Bill Stickers Will Be Prosecuted', to which it was popular to add 'Bill Stickers Is Innocent' These days, I think the response would be 'I don't identify as Bill Stickers'.

.....Sorry officer, I'm just waiting for my decoupage glue to dry so that I can give the finish a light sanding and then leg it

Fair warning, though, decoupaging stickers onto lamp posts will probably take some time and the rozzers might catch up with you if you do that...

Obviously I’d never recommend the following method for making it more difficult to peel them off, because that would be vandalism.

Leaflets are probably best left in Libraries or GP surgeries.

I'm not encouraging stickering, you understand, pernicious habit that it is. But it does have the advantage of keeping information at eye level and stopping it fluttering the ground and causing litter problems.

It could be treated as littering so make sure they don't randomly end up on the ground.

Is there anything against leaving printed leaflets around without permission? Asking for a friend....

If you are worried about getting caught....

I know If I were to ever go about doing subversive criminal acts like stickering, I'd be wanting to wear a good face concealing hoody to avoid being recognised on cctv. Something like this might work

Ha! Yes, I wouldn't have come to the conclusion that someone is going round angrily scratching out AHF stickers because they are really, really cross about things on lampposts.

Bill Stickers is innocent!!
