So what would our slogan be?

[sethstarkaddersmackerel]

We would quite like a slogan to go on the banner for marches, and I thought it would be nice to discuss it more widely than just the feminist crafters.

Suggestions so far:

The hand that rocks the cradle can [also] change the world

Agitate, educate, organise (this was an NUM local branch slogan; we might be able to come up with a variation.)

I still like my hand that rocks the cradle one- it seems apt to a parenting site (and I'm sure I've seen it used as a feminist slogan before), but if that doesn't float people's boat, how about "The Millwall Of Mumsnet"? . Not really.

I think this is a great idea - educate agitate organise was my Dad's union branch slogan and I like the imperatives (it has a good rhythm too - you can shout it well). I'm not suggesting that but I thought we could maybe come up with three verbs?

I agree about the imperatives.

Agitate, educate, spit

Isn't it- 'the hand that rocks the cradle rules the world'? I'm not sure though because we don't do we? The menz does.

'inform, support, befriend' or variations thereof?

That's why it is changed though, Unruly. It subverts it.

There are other more general ones, like "A woman?s place is in the struggle".

I am off for a google...

How about:

"We don't hate MEN, we hate INEQUALITY"

or

"Yes You Can Be A Mummy And A Feminist SIMULTANEOUSLY"

or

"Some of us even wear bras, you know!"

That would address most of the recurring questions about feminism.

Failing that, a massive embroidered cat's bum / humourless emoticon.

LOL @ the milwall of mumsnet

What about big black letters:

TROLLKILLERS

bwahahaha at through-beard spitting. Think I missed the origin of that :o

I quite like subverting the idea of us as a load of gossiping women. Mmmm, what about "Words And Deeds" to ruin borrow the suffragette slogan?

"The Revolution Begins At Home"

"Raising the Revolution"

ooh how about an old favourite "pillowed laphounds from hell"?

the Women's Library has one that the Shorthand Writers made. It says 'Speed fight on'

Hahahaha

inform, support, change

inform, support, revolt

(because we're so hairy and keep spitting you see. that revolts some people)

Sorry it's not very funny but for Friedan fans "We ARE the problem that has no name." :o Nice and threatening.

that would make a fab badge - you must get onto SolidGoldBrass forthwith.
