High waisted trousers with crop tops
Lip liner that goes over the top of cupid's bow

Hopefully the word woman can exist and mean XX genetics. Woman's sports will be for woman XX, because it will seem funny to have men XY or transwomen XY compete in the men's XY and women's XX events.

I'd like to say Pronouns.

But I'm not optimistic.

Lefty sisters who were born in the 60's / 70's / 80's being called 'anti-trans' by precocious millennials.

Sneeringly dismissing ‘millennials’ on the basis of their age...

Millennials.

I know lots of brilliant, original-thinking millennials too.

Hot tubs, grey, hipster beards, cockapoos, gin, Marie Kondo, lamas and unicorns, fossil fuel cars,

The death of skinny jeans has been predicted for nearly ten years now, yet has somehow never happened. I think they stopped being a fashion trend and became a stable some years back now.

Harry & Meghan.

I’m only on page 13 but these are already getting ridiculous.

Home delivered afternoon tea because you could buy the ingredients at Tesco? Is that not pretty much the same for any takeaway you can order?

These threads always end up so nasty. People sneering at grey when magnolia went through the same type of phase but that was ok?

Trends come and go and quite often we look back and think what were we thinking? A personal fave of mine was my combat trousers with the tail type things hanging all over them. Not really worth sneering at though.

@LadyWithLapdog

Can you please get off with your constant anti-trans agenda? On every damn thread it’s turned into anti-trans.
This is a pro woman website....if you regard that as anti trans that's your problem.

Yes exactly, we will look back and cringe at the idea that human beings can change sex at will.

@ichundich gin and marie kondo (the balling clothes up rather than laying flat) are staples for me!

Poor labelling on plant based meat alternatives and secretly serving people Quorn as a 'ooo could you tell' - no but I will in 4 hours.

I want plant based foods listed clearly and arranged clearly on shelfs into understandable categories such as soy based, mycoprotein based, veg based like we do with pork, beef, lamb etc.
