I've never seen a photo of giulliana. Why is that?

I saw one today, so I could answer your question. But if I did, the post would be deleted.

Ah light dawns about transphobic handkerchiefs, possibly?

If a unpalatable factual message has referenced suffragettes on twitter then is it that anything and everything suffragette is now associated with that message and has become Bad and representative of thoughtcrime and an act of intentional aggression? Or something? If you turn left at the traffic lights and squint a bit? Somewhat like dictionary definitions on billboards.

Just name changed.

I was there today and it made be blub just walking past all the women with banners and the powerful statement of solidarity with the two women being bullied for being fearless.

I overheard a women saying "Hi - I remember you from Greenham" to another.. and it was moving to see Posie's enormous Woman, noun, human female banner there. Woman-centred feminism is back.

I also loved the moment when Linda Bellos and Venice Allan emerged to applause from a crowd that had thickened while the were inside. They looked a little bit stressed when they first stepped out, but suddenly very happy with the reception. And Linda Bellos immediately launched into a speech like a pro.

It all felt iconic and very special.

Someone upthread asked about why the sufragette flag is the colours it is:

Green, white, violet = give women votes.

Green, white, violet = give women votes

Aww. I didn't know that. (A bit ashamed). Thanks now

Shocked this case wasn’t thrown out. Proud to be there, will stand up and be counted again in November.

Green, white, violet = give women votes

I think also the green = hope; purple = dignity; white = purity

t was clearly an apprehension grounded in Othello, Desdemona, Cassio, Iago, and the hankie. I'm a little unclear on who was being assigned which roles but possibly Giuliana was affecting to believe that the hankie placed her in danger

I like that...

Im looking back through the thread to find out what happened...help a womyn out and give me a clue??

Found it

Goes back to court on 30th November...

Not sure if any one else has posted this on another thread....

DT coverage.

Someone has said on another thread that green-white-violet standing for give women votes is an urban myth.

Perhaps the Green Violet White could stand for "Give Women Voices" or something?

Trying to control courts in order to intimidate your victim is a hallmark of male pattern abuse. See this article:

I see the demand for Linda to remove her handkerchief as having many similarities. Duluth wheel behaviour.

Someone told me on MN that they are trying to claim suffrage colours as a gender queer flag.

charlie

Have they not got a flag...i thought they had a flag

Ds1 likes vodka so i like to get the absolut vodka in the rainbow bottle...ive assumed its rainbow for LGB, maybe they just like rainbows

I googled it and it does look like purple green white

We can definitely prove that the suffragettes were first!

Oh yes. No one even care what the genderwueer flag is

Women Got Vaginas?

The genderqueer flag seems to be accidental- I'm inclined to believe someone in the US would have no idea. But would have been nice if they'd changed it once they were told, to avoid confusion.

They started “shaking and crying” when told they had appropriated the WSPU colours?

Who was shaking and crying and why??

Who was shaking and crying and why??

The person who designed the genderqueer flag, in the link I put just upthread.

The author of the post ErroltheDragon linked above was the one shaking and crying at the suggestion that the colours had been appropriated.

Well they can't have them, however much they shake and weep.
