Excuse the daily mail link but I am absolutely raging at this

ps MNHQ - tucking away discussion into its own wee sub forum doesn’t make you any better

The colours represent women's rights. Kicking her out for wearing it perfectly symbolises the current treatment of women's rights. We are no longer allowed to speak out on things that directly impact our lives. When we do, we're told we're hateful. So many of us are now so angry. A cold, hard anger.

Great Christmas presents for my daughters

It's giving a list of papers who are all reporting the same story

VestaTilley · 16/11/2022 07:56

Great idea! I’ll ask for one for Christmas.

It's not working for me. I can't find this adult human female shop

nowtygaffer · 16/11/2022 07:59

Not a scarf but the Radical Tea towel company gave some really nice bits in suffragette colours. I got a free washbag last Christmas with my tea towel order. Good quality too.

The adult human female store can be found by searching for "Standing for Women". If I put a link my post will probably be deleted. AHF were selling lovely silk suffragette scarves but the have a nice warm one for winter at the moment.

The optics on this are pretty bad. Lots of official people there were wearing rainbow lanyards but a woman asked to leave because of the colour of her scarf. I wonder if they would have gone as far as physically removing her of she had refused to leave.

FOJN · 16/11/2022 08:03

Catch it before it's deleted but ask yourself why a link to a site about women's rights is not permitted on MN?

I just Googled "suffragette scarf" and clicked "shopping", and this way rather than the news articles you'll get a few options for a wool one on sale from a few scottish shops, all the same scarf, all in sale for £16.99. Is a lighter colour than the one linked up thread. But i still think this thread is valuable because it spreads a great idea.

Poopoolittlerabbit · 16/11/2022 08:09

I was thinking the same thing! Not in an anti anyone way, but in a they’re great and significant colours way.
i’m gay and the idea that someone might try to throw me out of somewhere in the U.K. for wearing a rainbow scarf is ridiculous.
nor should someone be asked to leave for warring SNP ‘colours’ or Tory or whatever.

I have the AHF silky scarf. It's gorgeous. I believe Baroness Nicholson also has one.

And it wasn't just rainbow lanyards - someone was wearing a tie striped in the trans 🏳️‍⚧️ flag.

xalo · 16/11/2022 08:12

Christmas present ordered!

Venetiaparties · 16/11/2022 08:16

I was thinking the same thing op. So want that scarf now :)))

Venetiaparties · 16/11/2022 08:17

Its actually a really beautiful scarf isn't it, I would have worn it happily even without the meaning and substance behind it.

girlmom21 · 16/11/2022 08:19

For once the Daily Mail have got it right. It's a bizarre thing for someone to even pick up on, let alone kick her out for.

I think I'm going to order one too. It's lovely!

Venetiaparties · 16/11/2022 08:24

I am thinking about doing a suffragette Christmas tree this year using all of the colours - for some reason the deep and beautiful purple made me think of the Queen, and I am sure she would not want our rights extinguished as they are - and the link of celebrating such an incredible and iconic woman's life that died in Balmoral, Scotland meanwhile some Scottish agencies are busy trying to erase the fact we even exist.
I have always thought Scottish women are among the most fearless and vocal, I hope we can hear them soon.

LuciferRising · 16/11/2022 08:27

I have the one in the first link, and have also ordered a bracelet to wear into the office.

BashfulClam · 16/11/2022 08:35

The SNP can’t even agree on what a woman actually is do this doesn’t surprise me. They have a coalition with the Scottish Greens and the wee idiot that heads that party got his arse handed to him in on the radio by an irate woman. He couldn’t answer if a woman who had been raped would be seen by a biological female doctor or not.

Madcats · 16/11/2022 08:38

Twitter might be a bit of a cesspit, bit it was certainly powerful in highlighting this ridiculous exclusion yesterday.

I'm still smiling at the "almost suffragette" parliament tartan goods for sale in their gift shop.

On an equally serious matter, can I remind people that there is a petition with just over 35,000 and needing more. Women's rights are being eroded and I worry that very few people noticing until it becomes too late.

If you google the phrase below you ought to find it:
"Update the Equality Act to make clear the characteristic "sex" is biological sex".
