Following the decision of Priimesight Direct @Direct_PS on Twitter to remove the paid for billboard stating that women are adult human females (see other thread on same), I can only conclude we must be our own billboards. There are many of us silenced, and others threatened, and I understand that many of us cannot speak freely due to jobs and other barriers. For everyone who can though, please let us, when we feel safe enough, supported enough, and able enough to be our own billboards. I am committing to wearing a feminist t shirt every day that I safely can. Let them try to rip that down #beyourownbillboard. I’m so cross about this, I’m nearly spitting 🐓

Just worked it out, had missed the log in at the top (so I WAS being a bit thick) Grin

T shirt ordered...I guess I should carry a dictionary around with me too so I can ask what other words people would like censored

Current thread:www.mumsnet.com/Talk/womens_rights/3375155-Billboard-with-dictionary-definition-woman-adult-human-female-removed-after-pressure-from-TRAs Standing For Women comment, "In 2018 the word woman is controversial.

We believe it's a black and white issue.

The campaign is upon us.

Phase one.... Billboard in Liverpool

As you may have read the billboard has been deemed transphobic and is being removed in an act of grotesque misogynistic rage, we are seeking legal advice and will make a full statement in due course. In the meantime we have a donate button at the bottom of every page and would welcome any contributions to our campaign....

If we don't use our voices now, we may be forever silenced" www.standingforwomen.com/about

LiverpoolReSisters that's from Etsy and says "I solemnly swear to smash the patriarchy" I got it on a jumper after I saw Sweary wearing the T-shirt. It's my favourite jumper now. Very comfy too!

Cheers!

I am someone who is keeping a low profile because of my job. I would happily buy a t-shirt for someone who can wear it on my behalf.

Don't forget Redbubble - can vouch for quality of products (my friend's a designer on there, so I've got lots of his stuff). I'm seriously considering this www.redbubble.com/people/rwoodsii/works/31725156-make-feminism-scary-again?p=t-shirt&rbs=535f3ae6-ef17-4c75-8918-a2198d61b7f0&rel=carousel&style=womens

My standing for women t-shirt arrived today, I'm very pleased with it :)

IAmSproutycus · 24/09/2018 22:29

Standing for Women - can you make badges too please so that when we can't wear a t-shirt we can sport a badge. I am also considering "borrowing" an estate agent board, putting this definition on both sides and sticking it in the front garden. I also like the poster in windows idea. Just wondering if the latter two options may "out" me as "possibly" being the person who keeps stickering the area.....

SwearyG · 24/09/2018 22:34

My t-shirt was from Redbubble and you can get 20% off all their feminist attire with the code WILDOUT before midnight.

MrsFogi · 24/09/2018 22:36

I also think that we need many many more StickerWomen covering the country, daily.

redshoeblueshoe · 24/09/2018 23:03

I could be a sticker woman. I'm in a quite good location for stickering

NoseringGirl · 24/09/2018 23:34

Argh Sweary it was red bubble! Should checked my order email before commenting! Blush

HandsOffMyRights · 24/09/2018 23:46

Thanks for the link R0wan. Have donated.

Blackberrypiesforbreakfast · 25/09/2018 07:00

Just ordered some stickers, thanks for the link!

SunsetBeetch · 25/09/2018 08:06

Ety have removed pro woman merchandise from their site while letting 'fuck terfs' stuff stand, so I won't be buying from them again, I'm afraid.

ImPreCis · 25/09/2018 08:59

Ordered a T from SfW. Just wondering, how much does a billboard ad cost?

wiccamum · 25/09/2018 09:26

Thanks for the link! Joined, donated and tote bag on the way!

arranfan · 25/09/2018 09:30

There was a rather marvelous Harry Potter themed feminist t-shirt, worn by sweary godmother at the swimming baths? "I solemnly swear" something something.

I solemnly swear to smash the patriarchy? Other fits/sizes available.

Yes, it was mentioned upthread but thanks for the direct link :)

MsMcWoodle · 25/09/2018 11:17

Thank you IAmSproutycus. Ordered.

IAmSproutycus · 25/09/2018 16:33

The Standingforfemales twitter feed said that 75 more shirts had been bought since billboardgate. That’s great but it’s not nearly enough to make sure that as many people see the message as a billboard. Buy, anyone with a spare groat, buy! 🙂
Might make a t shirted scarecrow for my front garden!
