I understand that the decision of the UKSC is not unlimited. Can we clear up some of the things that women can't do as a result?

I'll start.

This ruling doesn't mean that women can herd sheep over London Bridge.

Amazed that so many of of you picked up on the conditional right to herd sheep. I am lazily amused that the ruling of UKSC has had no impact on this right. Just as it has no impact on most rights. Just the right for women to be adult human female.

To be fair - as a man I don’t believe there is ever a reason to say that women can’t do something just because they are women - but then I am possibly more feminist than even my wife!

as a freeman of the city of London - I look forward to one day driving sheep over the bridge - but have lots of female friends who have already done so…

still - love your thread!

Well identify as a man and claim inheritance rights under primogeniture…

Or come around the mountain wearing pink pyjamas.

Because it's not something that women have that men want to take from us.

Visit Okinoshima Island
But then she's busyas she has to wash out forty four pairs of socks and have 'em on the line, starch and iron two dozen shirts before you can count from one to nine, slip up a great big dip up of lard from a drippings can, throw it in the skillet, do her shopping and be back before it melts in the pan.

Claim they are goats and then successfully fight for the right to occupy leading positions of goat herds, participate in goat activities and bleat like goats. Even drinking the blood of goats will not help.

Over to the rest of you:

Well they can (in principle, but not in practice) if they’re a Freeman of the City of London..

They can if they're Freemen of London which is granted if they join a Livery Company.

akkakk · 20/04/2025 21:55

they can if a freeman of london, and nothing to stop a woman becoming free / a citizen - either through a livery company route / by living in the city / through being made free as an honorary freeman…

Yes but this specific SC ruling doesn't give that right, does it?
Oh look what you've done now akkakk, you've got their hopes up, they're planning they big day out in London already🙁

Hoard shiploads of sour grapes, ferment them into fine wines and gather en masse in their culdesacs to dance after dark.
