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.)

So how many banners are there going to be exactly? :D

My favourites so far:

Resist, Do Not Comply
Raising the Revolution
Consciousness-Raising 2.0

but tbh they are all pretty damned good!

Is there going to be a vote then?

Raising the Revolution - gotta be.

Although the blood of the patriarchy is tempting...

And we could paint it in trickly red paint, just to ram the message home...

In fact, perhaps I'll make a little banner saying that just for me... it could be the 'unofficial' Mumsnet one!

I do really like Raising the Revolution, I think that's the best so far.

Mumsnet: Ramming the message home.

Sounds suspiciously phallic to me, Unruly...

Oh I love Raising the Revolution!

And Lenin's inspired one that no one except MNers will understand but which is simply brilliant

Patriarchy - YABVU

Are we going to write a final list of all the suggestions at the top of a new thread and all post our favourite, or are we gonig to set up a clever, new AV system thingy elsewhere to choose?

Someone could set up a poll on SurveyMonkey :)

That's over my head really- or is it about 2.2 children?

Raising the Revolution is brilliant.

I've made a survey!!!

Do I get a chufty badge?

Did I get them all by the way? if someone could check that would be ace.

Do we have a closing date in mind?

I like the way you've included the ones that are clearly ridiculous.
I suppose because otherwise you would run the risk of someone going 'Oi, why haven't you put mine in? It was a serious suggestion!'

Precisely :)

I put in the 'Second Favourite' option in case we have a tie.

Although someone more gifted than I is welcome to work out a complex weighting system whereby 'Favourite' vote is worth X and 'Second Favourite' is worth Y if they want to. But stats is not really my field.

Whoops, missed out one.. have added...

Liberty, Equality, Maternity. Mumsnet Won't Wait an Eternity.

Oooh we've had six respondents so far!!!

Claig that's an ace suggestion - but I don't know what the etiquette is about adding them in now... can someone else be in charge of the rules please! I just made the survey, I was only following orders, it was all LadyBiscuit's idea...

why don't you not add any more in but if people want they can always put the other ones in the 'other' box at the bottom.

and it is not my banner, sisters. It is our banner.
