Is there a day of action planned? Where women just march into mens loos, changing rooms, men-only groups, prostate check clinics...etc?

Could be interesting...

I have registered with the Mail but as yet my comments have not shown

AssignedPuuurfectAtBirth · 18/03/2018 08:34

I'm sorry, but I think many men will be delighted to be able to stare at women's breasts with impunity.

I applaud the bravery of the women doing this, but not entirely sure that it won't backfire. I hope I am wrong though

SwearyG · 18/03/2018 08:35

@Fekko that’s every Friday. #ManFriday means we can do it every Friday with our badges and leaflets. It needs to gain momentum. If it happens everywhere people will notice.

KERALA1 · 18/03/2018 08:36

I think you're wrong assigned. Most men really wouldn't like a woman in their changing room. My friend in a moment of madness went into the men's at swimming to help her quite naughty son and a lot of men went mental and complained.

RaininSummer · 18/03/2018 08:48

Have posted comments on the Mail site. Don't know if they will appear. Well done swimmers!

busyboysmum · 18/03/2018 08:49

Has the Daily Mail got a Twitter account? Woukd be worth a concentrated attack to ask why our gender critical comments explaining why we are doing this are not being posted.

ginandbearit · 18/03/2018 08:53

I've registered to comment ...something along thesevlines ..might not get allowed there so here goes..
'Because very very soon it will be perfectly legal for a man who has not changed his appearance or body in any way to have legal access , by self identifying as a woman , to places where your mother ,wife , daughter or girlfriend is changing clothes ,washing herself , showering or needing privacy. As a straight middle aged male who supports trans people to live a respected life this is an issue that can't be dodged...how do you feel about your daughter having to ..and I mean having to by law ..accept a 'lady penis' displayed next to her ? '

You forgot intimate medical examinations!

picklemepopcorn · 18/03/2018 08:56

I've just shared with a quote from the swim England advice. Let's see if their's any interest.

picklemepopcorn · 18/03/2018 08:56

There's, natch!

TheChampagneGalop · 18/03/2018 08:57

Wow so brave! Amy you look so cute in the pink cap. Sorry I mean manly and handsome like the male you are!

BingBongSong · 18/03/2018 08:57

Would it be an idea to go as a group (say 10+ people) to a male toilet at the same time, to use it? I appreciate people saying that men may not complain about having topless women next to them in changing rooms, but women taking up space in men's toilets and thus inconveniencing them? Are there any toilets with those notices telling women not to challenge someone they feel shouldn't be in there?

SwearyG · 18/03/2018 08:57

These are the leaflets for those who asked.

I’ve commented on the Mail but hold out no hope that it will pass moderation.

Which is incredibly depressing.

IFancyASliceOfCake · 18/03/2018 09:09

Well done, Amy and Hannah!!

CapnHaddock · 18/03/2018 09:11

Well done both of you. You're really brave!

The leaflets are brilliant too - very clear and get the point across.

FedUpWithBriiiiiick · 18/03/2018 09:11

Amazing. So proud!

TerfyMcTerface · 18/03/2018 09:13

The Mail won’t post any more comments now. I’ve seen this with several of their retransmit articles. They allow a few idiotic comments when the article first appears, and that tends to be it.

CapnHaddock · 18/03/2018 09:15

Or this PissedOff as it's British: transcrimeuk.com/category/sexual-offences/rape-sexual-assault/

And this is always good to remind people: More transwomen have murdered people in the UK than have been murdered. Every death is a tragedy but transwomen are the safest group in Britain when it comes to Murder. 47% of Transwomen in UK prisons are sex offenders which is 3x higher than the general male estate.
