What would you ask SwearyG or Rep of Jean Hatchet?

[Writersblock2]

Working on the Let a Woman Speak website and SwearyG Churchill from ManFriday and a representative of Jean Hatchet (who may not be Jean) have agreed to an interview (text based) for the site.

So here is your chance. What do you want to ask either of them? Silly or serious, I don’t mind! We will select from the questions and put something together. :)

I’m guessing both of them get a lot of hate mail of the DIAF/rape threat ilk. I’d like to know what keeps them both going in the face of threats and hatemail? How does someone cultivate that resilience?

Oh yeah, and that old MN favourite: what’s your favourite biscuit?

I'd like to ask Jean where she finds our about the women she rides for and how she decides on an order.

I’m liking these. Thank you! Keep them coming.

I’d ask each what do they believe was the most important moment in their lives that shaped what they do today.

What were the tipping events that propelled them into taking the direct action they do?

Some great questions! Keep them coming.

Has Jean Hatchet had any contact with the victims' families? What reaction did they have to her riding for them?

Could they each give us one piece of campaigning advice that anyone can do?

I'd like to ask Sweary where do you hope we will be with gender-identity politics in ten years time and where do you fear we will be?

What strategies do they use to deal with the mental load that this issue generates? How do they cope under pressure?

And I'd like to give them a room full of flowers for all their work:

Really thoughtful questions here, I’m impressed!

Bump!

Do they think there any actions ripe for really focused action that are genuinely achievable in the near future? (Especially ones that feminists/allies with little time or appetite for sticking their head above the parapet could be involved in?)

What can I do? Is what I’d ask. I’m not able to put my head above the parapet publically but I can do anything else. I want to help. What can I do?
