Will that now be a subtle signal to my fellow GC sisters? I do hope so, I can't wait to see lots of dinosaurs being sported by women out and about - anyone complaining about a woman with a dinosaur is simply going to look batshit crazy Grin. (Although just to be clear I do talk about this a lot in rl but not so much at work but generally think that the more women who don't yet speak out about this can see how many others are GC the better and I suspect that the "GC Dinosaur" may just be our Bat Signal")

@midgedude

Yikes, can it be a multi day event ?

Or I can just take a bottle of highland park ?

We shall each of us buy you a bottle of highland park, bring a big car.

Love the dog whistle.

Binglebong · 10/10/2021 21:06

Haha, just got an email from Etsy saying the dinosaur earrings I like have nearly sold out. 1 pair left and in six baskets - who will be the triumphant MNer?

@nonotmenosiree It's amazing what the chilling effect will do, isn't it? Women being threatened with being hounded out of employment, reported to the Police, doxxed, threatened on social media etc etc having to resort to secret signals/symbols in order to interact with people who hold the same (legal, rational) views.

It's a real mind fuck.

@RedDogsBeg

Midgedude, if I ever meet you at a dinosaur protest, I'm buying you a drink!

Me too, that comment was gold, pure gold.

Getting in the ‘buy midge a drink’ queue

@NoNotMeNoSiree

Then people on here deny dogwhistles exist 🙄 If you wanted an example of what one is, this thread is a perfect one. Buying something with dinosaurs on in the hope of '' signalling'' to others about your views, Then if it turns out they don't hold them it'd be like' 'don't be silly, what are you on about, I just like dinosaurs!' '

Not denying dog whistles exist - you can get one here;

@midgedude

Does it hurt when people take things off you and change the meaning of things ?
Brava. 👏👏👏👏👏

@PurgatoryOfPotholes

As we approach page 7, let's repeat an earlier exchange that was pure gold.

Person 1: I'll be very disappointed if dinosaurs become a symbol of anyone's personal views. I like dinosaurs but don't share your views and would hate for anyone to assume I do just because I have a dinosaur bag.

Ooh, that reminds me. Saw this earlier and thought of *@PurgatoryOfPotholes*, after the whole dinosaur/frog dna debate yesterday! Please note, I am not calling Purgatory a good girl, because that would be weird!
