Now granted, I've not fully fleshed this idea out, but in the light of @theflushedzebra pointing out that trans activists never seem to stop giving each other awards, we should have our own virtual FWR awards for services to feminism in 2019.

As the founder of this ceremony, I expect designers will be queuing up to allow me to "wear" them.

Post your nominations below, and feel free to describe how fabulous you look at the ceremony!

My nomination for best British female solo artist goes to : Maya Forstarter for grace and clarity under considerable pressure.

Lovely inspiring thread.
Rosa Freedman for her courage in the face of awful abuse at her university
Michael Biggs - for his sterling work in uncovering the awful reality of the unethical use and impact of puberty blockers on children
Katie Alcock - currently taking on the girl guides for their lapses in safeguarding.

I came on to suggest the fabulous Dr Hilton but see I’ve been beaten to it!

MRKHVoice, sadly missed on Twitter, deserves a nomination too.

LangCleg · 05/12/2019 17:34

Oh alright Lang, that can be the award, but I insist on a bouquet of hairy vulvas for every winner too.

Perfect!

Stuffofawesome · 05/12/2019 17:33

These by Jessdewahls would look nice in bronze for a prize

Support all nominations so far
I nominate Stickerwoman (didn't notice her sorry if I missed it)

Angryresister · 05/12/2019 17:13

there should be one for funniest /wittiest/laugh out loud comment on mumsnet. The poster who put up “ pigs in wanklets” comes to mind but there are many others.

NoWittyUserName · 05/12/2019 17:07

What a fabulously uplifting thread

I'd like to add the WPUK crew - the big meeting in London was my first experience of a feminist meeting of any kind and it was amazing

Also Kathleen Stock, Rebecca Reilly-Cooper, Holly Lawford-Smith, and Sarah Ditum for producing so much brilliant writing that has quite literally helped me find a voice when it came to speaking up with friends

That would be amazing in bronze!

Can this be the award?

imagine the awards ceremony with those hairy flowers everywhere!

Hopefully they're not carnivorous.

Isn't it wonderful that there are so many to list, so many to choose from.

I could very easily get carried away and imagine the awards ceremony with those hairy flowers everywhere!

Clymene · 05/12/2019 16:31

Madeleine Kearns in the journalism/writing category
Nic Williams specifically re FPFW
Ani O'Brien in NZ in the International Category

Feminazgul I was going to nominate Yaniv for those invaluable services.

No more nominations for me, or else it'll look like I started the thread so people would praise me! Blush

McKinnon- Best sherpa

Itsallgonetoofar · 05/12/2019 16:12

Another nomination for TinselAngel for services to TransWidows and for opening our eyes to the tragic impact on wives and children of late transitioners

Sadly missed from FWR the Bewilderness and her rules

Best article Pronouns are Rohypnol Barracker

So what are these awards going to look like?

I'm torn between a vulva and a raised fist. Or boobies.

Yes yes yes to all of these. All worthy recipients.

So what are these awards going to look like? Obviously they will NOT be phallus shaped. The dagger has already been claimed by the crime writers association.

Let’s also remember the wonderful Deborah Orr 💕
