Insurrection in the toilets

Popped to the loo in a supermarket earlier and THIS greeted me when I closed the door.

Not that I condone graffiti, but can't help admiring the woman who felt compelled to write that.

And chalk.

In my day, slates and ribbons were popular.

Posted too soon. Pebbles are such a fab idea

Please spare a thought for the 'usually' women, on low wages, who have to clean this off.

My pens have arrived. I'm thinking of graffiting putting graffiti on pebbles and leaving them around.

Pebbles - genius!

Just went for a quick google stroll for other stickers and omg I’ve come scuttling back here for safety...

Etsy have so many anti-terf stickers that are all about ‘smashing’ ‘destroying’ ‘terf tears’ ‘a trans person peed here and you didn’t notice’ - all such violent language and let’s face it, very redolent of male aggression and disregard of boundaries…

If I was coy about defacing toilet walls before, I’m not now. I think I want to be in ‘educating’ mode - so many women are still oblivious and #bekind mode to the real implications of men in women’s spaces.

The messages on those stickers say it all with threats of violence or mocking, although I can't help but feel they actually do us a massive favour in pointing out exactly what we are up against in reality...

If I ever saw one of those stickers whilst out 'doing my business' I would leave it there for all to see, and for all to realise (if they hadn't already done so) what happens when women say 'no' and the consequences we often have to bear,

Thanks to this thread, I have also purchased some stickers and have been needing to use the facilities in all sorts of places locally. A few have been removed but some are still there a couple of weeks on.

highame · 26/06/2023 08:09

A good idea to rem

JanesLittleGirl · 25/06/2023 22:17

Ah, a question that is as important as Schroedinger's cat. Do TWs stand or sit?

Who knows? Who cares? As long as they do it in the gent's.

Only problem, a trans woman might not see this. A woman sits to pee and would be facing the door. A penis owner stands to pee and would be facing the wall.
It's a bugger this biology business.

Unless the person was a sitzentinkler…..one of my many favourite German words.

Very upmarket #StickerWoman @ChampagneCommunist ! I have just finished my third weekend of Uni open days - I have 'needed' the loo a lot.

ChampagneCommunist · 20/06/2023 21:10

Been on a vineyard tour today. Added a sticker

No shoplifting!! It jumped out of the 'Pens box' and into my handbag!

Only the best will do for the Glyndebourne loos @ChampagneCommunist . I have been having great fun at a few airports and various uni open days recently, those stickers seem to fall out of my handbag and attach themselves to the back of doors wherever I go😁

ChampagneCommunist · 18/06/2023 22:26

Off to Glyndebourne next month; obviously I will be taking my poshest stickers

Thanks to this thread my new stickers have arrived in the post today - just in time for my little trip through a very large airport this weekend 😁

See stickers bring joy at all stages of life! You can't beat the joy of a good sticker!

Thank god I don't have to report you to our resident police bod.

Now if you were a man, at this point you'd discover that most your clothes have handy pockets to hold pens, (some have specifically designed pockets to hold pens!). not us poor women though!

Sobs

Boiledbeetle · 05/06/2023 22:23

Please tell me that it was at home when you did that or have you taken up shoplifting as well?
