Your ultimate feminist dinner party?

[FuckOffWeasel]

kickass just mentioned JO Brand and Joan Rivers getting together and how the conversation would go.

So if you could have 6 people to your dinner table for the ultimate feminist dinner party who would you invite? You would need to have a bit of controversy to keep things interesting. The only rule is you have to have at least 5 women (you may invite one special snowflake man if you must)

Hilary Clinton
Germaine Greer
Hannah Gavron
Madonna
Catherine the great

Beer thats so funny as I seriously considered Paul O Grady instead of Uncle Peter, but the temptation to see uncle peters ass kicked won over!

Hillary Clinton
Jo Brand
Joan of Arc
Nana
Gloria Steinem
Harriet Tubman

I struggled to keep mine down to 6 and it is American biased, but tah dah!

• Germaine Greer
• Margaret Atwood
• Wendy Hall
• Steve Shirley
• My 2 cousins

If they were still alive, I'd also have:

• My grandmother, because I'd really like to ask her how it was going to Cambridge in the days before women were awarded proper degrees, and how she really felt about her adult life (I think these days, she'd have probably gone on to do a PhD rather than be a housewife and later teacher, though she was apparently a very good teacher.) But she died when I was 17, and I didn't think then that there was anything unusual about her (and all my grandfather's sisters) all having been through higher education in the '20s & '30s.
• My female ancestor who fell out with her father in the 1860s because he didn't want her to go to college (she did and he later forgave her.)

(Actually, if all they were there, I'd be too terrified to say anything. Certainly my grandmother used to scare me!)

Dora Tamana and Lilian Ngoyi. The role of black women in fight against apartheid is not fully recognised as that of Mandela, Sisulu, Tambo and others.

Leymah Gbowee, i can relate to her feminism

Jk Rawling her humility

My mother, she did not finish primary school, but most feminist material i've read talk about things she emphasised growing up

Andrea Dworkin. Mercy (1990)
"I’ve always wanted to see a man beaten to a shit bloody pulp with a high-heeled shoe stuffed up his mouth, sort of the pig with the apple; it would be good to put him on a serving plate but you’d need good silver.”

I was right it was Dworkin.

And that's why we'd invite her to a dinner party virenall. She has imagination. Moves the Overton Window

I'm sure some of the women some have listed aren't even feminists. If this were for real do you think they would even accept an invitation to have dinner with a bunch of feminists without being paid?

It isn't for real and they don't have to be feminists.

HTH

Perhaps you missed the word "if"

Nope I didn't.

Thank you CrotchMaven. I'm honoured. I would love to come

I would love to spend an evening with Catharine MacKinnon. Can you invite her too?
