For me and dd. Actually, dses as well, why not?
Does anyone know of any good t-shirts etc with feminist slogans on?

My "This is what a Feminist looks like" T-shirt and tote bag arrived today - they're excellent

MyGoldenNotebook · 30/03/2010 07:53

ooh I'd love a 'Feminists Have Better Sex' one

SolidGoldBrass · 25/03/2010 20:42

I've now added to my range: Bored With The Patriarchy, Bored With Sexism, Bored With Your Ignorance and Feminists Have Better Sex.

faaarcking hell bg! Horrid.

Mm, that's good BG - pretty much identical to what I say about racism (DDs are mixed race and have seen Hairspray ). Sexism has tended to rear its head more in a contemporary context (e.g. explaining why I don't like the Tweenies ) which I find harder as they have yet to grasp the concept of adult fallibility ...

the abortion ones are pretty graphic on both sides - did you see the one that said 'abortion doesn't mean you're not a mother, it means you're the mother of a dead baby'?

God, I was desperately trying not to come to that conclusion! What a message.

Anyway, P+P on that site ain't cheap. I want two "This is what a feminist looks like" things and it's come to £40!

that would be a reference to backstreet abortions being carried out with coathangers.

The level at which I have discussed feminism with dd is along the lines of 'people used to think women weren't as good/clever as men. Isn't that silly?'

So much stuff on that site! Love it!

What's the reference to coat hangers about though?
One sticker says:
Keep abortion legal or start investing in coat hangers - am I being deliberately naive here?

franch · 25/03/2010 15:22

Ooh, good for you BG. I'm off to look at that site.

Do you talk about feminism to your kids? If so how? I can't quite explain it at my DDs' level yet (4 and 6).

I should add: much more fun than ordering flowery tops from Boden.

Right, have ordered from the CafePress site:
for me - 'Feminism: calling out bullshit where we see it since 1792' and
'Smash patriarchy'.

For dd aged 4, one which says 'I'm not a diva, I'm not a princess, I'm not a brat, I'm a smart capable girl, get used to it.' (rather a lot of text IMO but she thought it was cool).

For ds2 aged 6 months, 'Mommy's little feminist'. Yes I know it's wrong but I couldn't help myself

I was going to get ds1 'Feminist in training' but it all just added up to too much . DH will have to do without the 'This is what a feminist looks like' one I nearly got him, too.

I really really wanted 'Fuck your fascist beauty standards' but practicality ruled as I'm not sure how that would go down on the school run.

Fascinated by how many Sarah Palin ones there are.... she was really trying to appeal to the feminist vote wasn't she?!

thanks again for all the tips.

Its a lovely book, can thoroughly recommend it

thanks Takver - that link was a lovely Jacky Fleming nostalgia trip & I'd never come across Cartoon Kate before - gorgeous! That 'Food of Love' book would make a top present for a pregnant friend.

Shame that neither Jackie Fleming or Cartoon Kate do t-shirts, they have some good postcards though here and here

Thanks OMDB, they rock!
Apart from the anti-abortion ones, obviously.

Warning: not all the slogans are actually feminist ones though

overmydeadbody · 23/03/2010 17:50

Cafe-Press is my place of choice for t-shirts, badges, posters etc, as they have suh a huge collection of stuff designed by so many different people.

a small selection

SolidGoldBrass · 23/03/2010 16:36

It's in Croydon - the building that used to be Beanos. I will be having a stall in there on Thursdays, probably from next week onwards

allegrageller · 23/03/2010 14:43

right SGB going to have to get one of your 'temporarily possessed, please excuse anything I do' keyrings...you should do that ona car sticker!

I am in S London, where is Stuff? Would love to come and have a quick chat at some point. xx

Object has resources (leaflets, petitions etc) for their feminist Fridays:

Thanks BG Bored With Twitter will go into the pot as well.

BadGardener · 23/03/2010 10:43

I like your 'Bored' ones SGB - and those would be good additions.
'Bored with MySpace' has probably had its moment - 'Bored with Twitter' maybe.

SolidGoldBrass · 23/03/2010 10:18

I do already have a line of badges called 'Bored' with slogans like 'Bored with Facebook' or 'Bored with Celebrity Culture'.
I am now going to add 'Bored with the Patriarchy' and 'Bored with Sexism' (oh, and while I'm at it, I might consider Bored With Bigotry as well)
