I cant wait!

Ekphrasis · 11/09/2018 20:20

Awesome!

BlytheByName · 11/09/2018 20:41

What a great idea!

HotRocker · 11/09/2018 20:50

Wonder how long it’ll be before it gets took down?

OvaHere · 11/09/2018 20:54

It will probably get defaced which will be as good a look for TRA's as Tara flipping the bird on the BBC.

CertainHalfDesertedStreets · 11/09/2018 22:07

How have they paid for this? That is a fund I would like to give to.

littlbrowndog · 11/09/2018 22:12

But I don’t understand the billboard

littlbrowndog · 11/09/2018 22:14

Oh I see I think it’s not the pic at top of blog

KennDodd · 11/09/2018 22:20

This is the billboard message - ‘Woman; wʊmən/(noun) adult human female.’

I wonder if the person paying for this will be prosecuted for a hate crime for that message?

Melamin · 11/09/2018 22:28

OOOOoooooooooooh A billboard - awesome.

PersistenceIsNotFutile · 11/09/2018 23:14

Awesome.

SPOFS · 11/09/2018 23:16

If the person doing this is reading, I'm happy to chip in for the cost?

PersistenceIsNotFutile · 11/09/2018 23:19

SPOFS, go to www.standingforwomen.com/campaign-golas

NettleTea · 11/09/2018 23:31

PersistenceIsNotFutile was just about to post the link for that

Get a teeshirt everyone, they are lovely, and stickers, posters, a postcard to your MP (no, Im not on commission, every penny will go to help raise awareness)

So Posie Parker is behind it. Wonderful.

Charliethefeminist · 12/09/2018 00:16

Great idea - will attract attention when it's up and even more if it gets taken down.

GulagMilkMonitor · 12/09/2018 01:23

Ha, excellent!

KatVonSweet · 12/09/2018 07:11

The craziness of a world were this needs saying. People just aren't aware of the mind blowing insanity at work here.

MnerXX · 12/09/2018 07:23

Pure genius!

Juells · 12/09/2018 07:46

They'll never let that happen. Right this very minute they're searching and phoning and organising to try to prevent such hate-filled notions being put in the public's head.

TBH I wish the poster hadn't been publicised on here before it was actually in place.

Juells · 12/09/2018 07:49

Oops, just realised it was an item in The Spectator, not just a thread here. Still think it would have been better to organise it in secret. :(

Charliethefeminist · 12/09/2018 08:06

You don't think it will be publicly extremely shocking if such a fact-based statement is described as hate speech?

Juells · 12/09/2018 10:28

It wouldn't be done in public though, would it? It'd be all sneaky 'over cups of tea' pressure on ad agencies or billboard renters. Combined with phone and email non-stop pressure. Haven't we seen all those tactics over and over again?

UpstartCrow · 12/09/2018 10:31

You'd think so, but nothing that's happened so far has shocked anyone enough to want to side with biology and the hated group of women who believe it exists.

Juells · 12/09/2018 10:39

Thinking about your point Charlie, you're right. Grin Imagine the bad press that an ad agency would receive if they pulled an ad saying 'women are adult human females' because they thought it was hate speech. It would definitely be an own goal by those who want to deny biology.

Ooh, now I really want them to try to get it removed on the grounds of hate speech.
