Did anyone do stickers I can buy?

I know a few people were talking about it. I think my local area could do with a sticker campaign.

Do you have a printer? You can buy A4 sticky back sheets on Ebay and use a free word processor to design them.

Yeah. I'd definitely end up with stickers reading 'MASH THE PATRIARC'...

RANSWOMEN ARE ME

EPEAL THE GR

#ManFriday car stickers would be good.

Is anyone organising the printing of Sex Matters? It seems to make sense to have a big job lot done. I'd be willing to prepay, second that I/we need stickers.

Hello yes we have been talking about stickers and I think someone was going to design some. I will raise it in the group email

I would buy a car sticker and some to secretly whack on bus stops and such.

Business cards to leave surreptitiously in waiting rooms? Or are small leaflets cheaper?

Untameable Shrews do a lovely sticker pack, or you can design your own and order them from somewhere like here. I did the price calculator thing on that site and you can get a roll of 100 reasonable size with all basic options for under £7.

Handwritten stickers have a certain charm too

I've been leaving a SAGES factsheet on the seat whenever I get off a bus or train for the last few weeks.

Untameable shrews! I'd forgotten the name. Thanks for the link.

I think this is so important both in terms of raising awareness but also so that people can feel like they are actually doing something!

Stickers for the back seat of toilet and changing room cubicles target women specifically, and also mean that whoever is sticking them up can do so anonymously.

I have a label writer and can do rolls of black and white stickers - its just settling on a design..

If someone could design something for easily available printable a4 sticker sheets (avery or similar) we could all print our own as we needed them.
(I would be happy to sticker toilets any time I actually manage to go in without my 3 year old she will not understand the double standard!!)

Is there a group email for MN feminists?

I've been posting copies of the Women's Place five demands on supermarket community message boards every time I do a shop.

Can I ask who you are all linking to or referring to on your stickers and leaflets?
I want to point people in the same useful direction.

I think ideally I'd point people to WP. Or to the petition...

There's a tutorial on making vinyl ones here or this sort of company do your own designs Handylabels

Isn't FPFW designing toilet door stickers with a QR code? Or was that someone else?

I actually think those stickers would work Certain as they would pique the interest...

^^

Right. Where are those stickers? And leaflets?
I had a lovely swim in my workplace outdoor pool this morning. I don't get to go often due to my working hours so it's the first time this summer. There were about six women there, it was lovely and peaceful. Thing is the changing room is tiny, with two showers in cubicles with a lockable door and the one loo obv. When all six of us were in there we were close packed. And I thought how bloody outraged we all would have been if a man had walked in and stripped down. I didn't know any of them so it wasn't really the time to strike up a conversation on the topic, especially as it's my workplace, but I bet none of them have any idea what the changing room could be like in the future. Staff children use the pool in the afternoons so there's often been a gaggle of girls in there, modestly struggling with towels and cover up dressing techniques. They would be appalled if a man came in at the same time.
When people talk about men in the changing room at a swimming pool I think they often visualise a large council run "changing village" with rows of cubicles which are generally mixed sex anyway. So they don't get worked up about it. They don't think about little local pools with a tiny open plan changing room.

So I am definitely going to swamp the mirror and loo door with stickers and leave some leaflets if I can, when no one is around.
