In 3 months 11,000 women out of a total adult female population of about 25m women have signed. That's less than 0.05%, less as some men probably signed too. The petition is doing a fantastic job of proving that this is not a real issue.

Has it yet reached the rest of those 25m women, though? Have you, for instance, shared it with friends to see whether they think women should been consulted? Presumably you have a strong argument that women should NOT be consulted on changes affecting them.

Still, not a bad day today.

11,888 and counting. Is it possible people are starting to share the link with their contacts?

Melamin · 07/06/2018 19:54

Don't know - I put it on FB, but there are no takers in my constituency Sad

boatyardblues · 07/06/2018 20:18

There are a fair number in my constituency and another handful have signed in the last few days. I probably know two of them, as I shared the link. One spontaneously raised it with me because of her mounting disquiet about the issue and not being sure what she could do about it.

Struggling to sign. This keeps happening. I've tried to sign it before but never get the confirmation email! Frustrating and hope not a glitch that is stopping this soaring?

boatyardblues · 09/06/2018 07:16

Check your spam folder for the confirmation link email, Jean.

Excellent.

Let's push the sports angle thread over on AIBU. It's a good entry point into understanding this murky, disingenuous mess.

Definitely check your spam @Jeanhatchet, or try a different email address? It got spammed by my email provider.

whitehandledkitchenknife · 09/06/2018 10:34

That's a cheery sight to behold.

SuitedandBooted · 09/06/2018 16:52

We need the DM to pick up the sports cheat angle.

There's a thread here and on AIBU. Fingers crossed!
