All the FWR posters and lurkers

I'm loving MrsFogi's melting ice scrotum idea

I want to nominate Angela and Leanne from Get the L Out for their sterling work at Pride events.

I also want to nominate the unnamed women who spread the word on a day to day basis by starting conversations and promoting GC opinions on social media, supporting the movers and shakers.
We have some amazing women in Wales who are doing this work in the face of much opposition. Others have listed all the women and groups I admire and support.

What a fantastic way to honour Magdalen ❤️

GoinglikeElsie for tweeting the Yaniv tribunal. Fantastic citizen journalism.

Thingy from Mermaids.

They have done some epic work!

Magdalen. How much do I miss her

Lang and datun

Erm gawd there are so many

Guides Helen chatty fecko omg the list is endless for me just keeps going and going

Thank ALL of you justbfor being the best lot of women 😢 that’s me being emosh

Yaniv will have tweeted that he won all the awards, regardless of whether he was there or not!

If Yaniv does not turn up to collect the award can we wheel a giant, ice scrotum (hairs etched on it of course) onto the stage and leave it to melt during the rest of the ceremony?

Not the polished cock award though, obv. I don't think she would have liked that.

Can we just give Magdalen all the awards? How we miss her and her absolute resilience and intellectual rigour xxx

Polished Cock Award

Ruth Hunt and Stonewall are worthy recipients.

The Polished Cock award for dedication to the decimation of women’s rights goes to...

Ruuuuuth Hunt and Stonewall!

For me the following women are inspirational.
Magdalene Bern
Posie Parker
Sammy Woodhouse
Louise Moody
Lucy Masoud

And in the mens section Miranda Yardley, Harry, Glinner and Jonnie Best

DJ Lippy on the decks for dancing afterwards.
Featuring guest set by Zuby?

Helen Watts for Services to Ungrateful and Useless Youth Organisations.

It would be good to add an awards night to an annual Feminist gathering.

Can we have a Maggie Kuhn ("Stand before the people you fear and speak your mind - even if your voice shakes.") award in recognition of all the ordinary women who've spoken from the floor at events and told their stories, the ordinary women asking questions of MPs, schools, employers and in hustings, and all the women raising feminist issues among their friends and family.
The defiant woman award!

DestinyDaughter - Yes! As long as we don't handle it like Linda Riley does.
