I've just received it...

Wolfgirrl · 23/07/2020 18:09

Sent from her secretary so make sure you check junk etc.

Roseburn · 23/07/2020 18:07

Received here.

EmpressLangClegSpartacus · 23/07/2020 18:05

What exactly is the call of arms for? What are we being called to do?

Given how closely the Misogynist Monitors are likely to be watching these threads (waves) maybe it’s better not to go into too much detail here.

Binterested · 23/07/2020 18:02

No, not yet.

Wolfgirrl · 23/07/2020 17:51

Have you all received the follow up email and attachments?

Roseburn · 21/07/2020 14:17

I got a personal email from the Baroness! She thanked me twicely - for joining up and writing to the Booker. I'm all aglow :)

BertieDrapper · 20/07/2020 18:15

Signed and shared the petition.

I set up a twitter account purely to retweet/like pro women tweets. I'm not particularly "wordy" BlushHmm so struggle to convey the message myself!

@GrumpyMiddleAgedWoman

TheWord I asked her not to use my name for personal reasons and she said 'No names will be published, it's against the Law and discourteous too.'
that's good to know - thank you

Delurking to add to the praise for the Baroness. I also had a personal response. She's really impressive.

TheWordWomanIsTaken · 20/07/2020 16:55

I responded on twitter but heard nothing so have emailed.
I feel scared writing in my own name rather than the email I use for twitter but courage calls to courage and all that

WanderinWomb · 20/07/2020 12:58

I'm not into titles
Started email with 'Dear Emma' .

It was Ralph Lucas who tagged her into answers to his questions earlier this year. She'd barely tweeted and knew nothing about the issue. Now she is talking about a year long women's rights cross party clean up team!!

It makes me so happy to see brave women uniting. This and watching the women at Speaker's Corner.... Feel a bit soppy now.

I love us lot .

JamieLeeCurtains · 20/07/2020 12:51

Thanks. That's interesting, @BaronessSnippyPantsofCroneArmy - I'll add 'not doing her homework and bottling it on Twitter' to Penny's long list of non-virtues.

Does she fuck believe TWAW. But she says it because [insert self-serving reason here]. Really disappointing from a woman who made a Commons speech centering naval men's 'penises and testicles'. (Oh how we laughed.)

GrumpyMiddleAgedWoman · 20/07/2020 12:43

She was bloody busy yesterday evening: I had an email from her then too, a proper reply. I'm very impressed by her.

JKRismyhero · 20/07/2020 12:12

I've emailed her

Cuntysnark · 20/07/2020 12:08

I tweeted & emailed. Had my reply last night by email.

HaveaStock · 20/07/2020 12:07

Signed

CaveMum · 20/07/2020 12:06

Did everyone who said they were in via Twitter get a response as I haven’t had one yet.

BaronessSnippyPantsofCroneArmy · 20/07/2020 12:06

I see Penny deleted a tweet on Saturday night. Wonder if she saw the letter to the Conservative Women's Organisation from the Conservative Women's Pledge?

I haven't signed up for the Crone Army yet.

What did you all say? What is the call to arms - checking websites and such and asking the website owners (councils/LAs) to correct any misrepresentation of GRA 2010?

JamieLeeCurtains · 20/07/2020 11:50

The Baroness has access to, e.g., Liz Truss, that probably very few people have.

Meanwhile my disgust with Penny Mordaunt continues unabated. After her Brexit lies about Turkey, the TWAW and children's (lack of) safeguarding debacles, I now learn from an old colleague down south that she is also a shit constituency MP who claims that she never receives any critical comments in her postbag.

TedsFederationRep · 20/07/2020 11:50

I'm officially on TeamEmma now too (got my response last night - so happy!)

What I'm hoping is that this means Liz Truss's announcement will definitely be made within the next 48 hours and that the Baroness is making sure we are ready to start the clean-up operation necessitated by the sheer scale of organisational capture.

My elbows are sharpened and at the ready...

teawamutu · 20/07/2020 11:33

I got one too! V chuffed. Hoping the delay was because she had so many to get through.

So what happens now? Do we riot at dawn or what?

ChattyLion · 20/07/2020 11:30

Thanks that is helpful to know Snippy I appreciate it.
