MN's Fantasy Woman Fest!

WichBitchHarpyTerfThatsMe · 09/07/2018 14:17

So, in light of the dreadful Woman Fest talked about on here recently I've been thinking what our fantasy version of a woman fest might involve. I have a few ideas to start off with:

There will be absolutely no cooking or food preparation done by participants. Free take away will be available for all.

No-one is allowed to ask any women 'where's my...?'

Toilet seats (not lids) will be permanently in the downward position. Anyone breaching this will be given automatic toilet cleaning duties.

Body hair will be celebrated not shamed. Extra take away will be awarded to women whose winter pelt is sturdy enough to plait and bead.

Head hair swishing will be met with loud tutting.

A silent disco will be held for those wishing to sway and chant to the sounds of BBC radio podcasts or Erasure dance tracks.

Knitting and sighing at the same time will be dealt with by severe eye rolling by observers.

A man friday stall will be handing out free swim caps, beards and mankinis.

Tea, coffee, gin and chocolate fountains will be placed generously around the site.

Team Sportacus workshops will be available to provide technical and tactical advice for all those wishing participate in spofs events.

I may be back later with some more but please feel free to add to this list.

GorgonLondon no worries i have plenty of both to share Grin

I could put my big fat body into a comfy sun dress for the duration of the festival and not feel disapproving eyes all over me. I could chill in the Gaming tent with my fellow gamer girls and not have some idiot explain that actually, what I should be doing to maximise my gameplay is XYZ. Then I could wander over the the Career tent and celebrate female success in the workplace and discuss how we can build eachother up. It would be awesome.

GorgonLondon · 09/07/2018 18:29

Cheers Waddle !

I am getting a bit gutted that this event isn't in my actual calendar now.

But while bras are optional, I'd quite like a tent with a really good bra fitter and some comfortable yet supportive bras - I'm firmly of the opinion that a first-rate sports bra can be an instrument of liberation.

JessicaJonesJacket · 09/07/2018 18:31

Can we have some music that isn't Erasure? What about Texas - Sharleen has short hair, wears suits and plays guitar and yet isn't a man - so transgressive! Wink

ErrolTheDragon · 09/07/2018 18:31

Oh and women’s toilets, please. Reserved solely for...y’knoe, WOMEN

They all will be. No dicks allowed, physical or metaphorical.

BesmirchingMotherhood · 09/07/2018 18:32

Are we meeting in tents or wearing them? 😂

Theinconstantgardener · 09/07/2018 18:38

Stalls with gluten free food and decaf coffee without me having to ask if they have it. Places to have a lie down in the sun shine free from half eaten food and spilled beer.

Yes! I am large of nork and large of back (fat, in other words...) and I couldn’t even begin to calculate how much money I’ve spent to not find a bra that I can wear all day, has a decent shape and lets me break into the occasional run whilst I’m chasing a small person.

I am still looking.

OlennasWimple · 09/07/2018 18:50

Hot water bottles and paracetamol available on demand for menstrual cramps (not those microwave lavender bags that smell nice but don't effing work)

qumquat · 09/07/2018 18:50

Off topic but have you been to Bravissimo @besmirchingmotherhood? John Lewis also do good bra measuring. Getting the right fit bra from these two shops has been truly life changing for me (and going without is so uncomfortable I wear a bra 24/7).

The festival sounds amazing. Count me in!

BesmirchingMotherhood · 09/07/2018 19:08

Thanks qumquat.

Maybe Bravissimo and JL could have a stall at the women’s festival. 😀

Floisme · 09/07/2018 19:16

I don't do camping. But if there's a nice hotel up the road I could maybe catch up with you, especially if there are going to be some shops now. Wink

ErrolTheDragon · 09/07/2018 19:20

Do they make tents with soundproof walls? One of the effects of motherhood I've still not recovered from is not being able to sleep through nighttime disturbances.

RoxytheRexy · 09/07/2018 19:38

This sounds amazing. Can I add a pregnancy tent that has a bar that sells real drinks and none alcoholic beer? I might have a beer and then a juice but I’m a grown women and I’m allowed to decide for myself

It would need air conditioning and snacks. And be close to the toilets.

And have masseurs on standby

GorgonLondon · 09/07/2018 19:47

Olennas funnily enough I was going to suggest free ibuprofen, sanitary products and whisky for the same reason Grin

PhilODox · 09/07/2018 19:57

I would come just for the Lego tent, tbh!

I'm with qumquat- I really like my bras- maybe fantasie could sponsor the Festival?

Seriously, someone should organise this... would it be against the law to have a woman-only festival, not sure about whether sex is a protected characteristic in the way ethnicity and sexual orientation are?

PhilODox · 09/07/2018 19:59

Actually, if it was advertised as a laundry and bathroom-cleaning workshop, we'd probably be fine...

TransplantsArePlants · 09/07/2018 20:00

I quite fancy a tent where you could scream and bounce off the walls

MsBeee · 09/07/2018 20:21

TransPlants.

Me too !!

YesItsADebate · 09/07/2018 20:22

A tent with buckets of ice where those of us dying from hayfever can stick their heads for a few seconds of blessed relief.

YesItsADebate · 09/07/2018 20:23

PhilODox are you taking the P?!

AngryAttackKittens · 09/07/2018 20:26

I also quite fancy a bra fitting tent, with free bras, for the large of nork who actually prefer wearing one.

Part of the reason for this is that I also would like a bouncy castle. Was so annoyed when I got too old to go on those any more.

Waddlelikeapenguin · 09/07/2018 20:50

Shock AAK i was just coming to say bouncy castle if the bra fitting tent would actually work!! Grin
