So I'm waiting for my stickers to arrive. I live in a sleepy rural town that time forgot and when I've mentioned the TWAW debate I've been met with strange looks because of course women don't have penises and you'd have to be a fool to believe that men could change sex. And who the hell would let a man in a women's toilet no matter what he's wearing?!

So as such would it be better to save my stickers for my weekly trips to London? I'm not sure of the benefit of sticking them up round my (very sensible) town.

@lysistrata

Could you creep up and slap one on the back of a council waste collection lorry? One moving sticker would cover the whole town Grin

Truthmytruth · 18/08/2018 03:01

Or the back of a bus.

Wow. Bet they do and all. Because men.

CholloDeNombre · 18/08/2018 08:33

Baby penis stickers are SUPER VIOLENT. More violent than the bigger ones.

CholloDeNombre · 18/08/2018 08:34

And when I say baby, I am referring to size, not age.

MenAreMale · 18/08/2018 09:02

Males join force to stop stickerwomen sticking together.

Ha ha. This morning's sticker by the supermarket lift button lasted less than an hour - but that means at least one person read it and hopefully is thinking WTF. Grin

BiologyMatters · 18/08/2018 11:06

Hoping I get to see a sticker in my local town!

Making the Cerne Abbas Giant represent "trans dykes" is genius.

Grin It is great. The big plonker in the middle lets us spell out the elephant in the room that no one dares mention.

Etsy picked a side.

Not the Gender Critical Sticker Products side.

How does it "glorify hate or violence"? Hmm

CholloDeNombre · 18/08/2018 12:52

Etsy picked a side a while ago didn't they?

Ironic since its popularity was built on the backs of industrial and creative women.

Ereshkigal · 18/08/2018 13:03

LOL the lack of self awareness in their bubble is spectacular:

It would have exactly the same effect on the average member of the public!

It doesn't.

But they, like a lot of companies, have react to the "profit margin impacting" side that makes itself heard on SM.

There isn't enough SM push back from the non TRA side (ie Bulk of the world's shoppers) to get them to realise that profit margin impacting pissed offness goes both ways.

Companies don't count what they can't see on FB, Twatter, that weird Snapchat thing, Insta and whatever else it is the kids are using these days. So they get a very one-sided vision of their potential lost customers and generators of negative publicity.

And if the TRAs are as Machiavellian about it as I would be, they'll each have a fistful of spare "bland" profiles (non TRA stuff, cat videos etc.) so they can amplify their outrage towards a company online. Without the pesky business of actually being able to drum up real numbers of genuine supporters prepared to slam a company online,

Come back My Space. All is Forgiven.

Part of the reason why I like stickerwoman so much is that she is leading the charge off line (which then bubbles to online) to raise the profile of the rest of the world's purses and wallets. Only through that kind of shift (both targeted to their brands and not) will companies start to make a more considered appraisal of what is right in terms of policy, what the drawbacks might be and what will lose them the most money.

Not just online. See the TRA on Twitter bragging about how they put on silly voices to phone up the Houses of Parliament to complain about the WNTT meeting under multiple personas.

Ereshkigal · 18/08/2018 13:32

A very salient point here:

Sarahconnor1 · 18/08/2018 13:54

It would be a gift to highlighting the cause if Merseyside police investigated this. Crime in Merseyside is perceived to be getting worse at the moment including knife crime, domestic violence, scrambler bikes causing havoc, drugs, trafficking for sexual exploitation, but yeah lets investigate some stickers.

Excellent idea.

BoreOfWhabylon · 18/08/2018 14:00

Not only that, but the offending sticker that was reported to Merseyside Police was actually in Weston-Super-Mare.

arranfan · 18/08/2018 14:03

If these stickers are being reported - how long will it be before we have observers sitting in on school biology or PSHE lessons to ensure that forbidden facts are not stated? Or how long will it be before the police are asked to interview these teachers for speaking hate?
