So - you'll never keep a woman down even when you expose her kids to danger.

Posie Parker has managed to secure a new digital billboard in Birmingham for Tory party conference.

I don't think the location is ideal but getting the message on another billboard sooner rather than later is the most important thing by far.

The business about the location reminds me of discussions about the "wrong sort of allies". It's probably a good idea to stop becoming too invested in such things. Or we'll end up tying ourselves in knots.

JackyHolyoake · 02/10/2018 16:01

LangCleg Yes .. the location is a huge Eff Off!

It reminds people that all those who objectify females as sex objects [via the Adult Shop] that females are human too.

Woman: adult human female.

[No human can ever change sex.]

Ok, to a large extent I had the image of a massage parlour/strip club in my mind when I read “sex shop”. In that context the ad seemed to be (to the neutral observer in the street) a continuation of the signage for the shop and an advert for the trade available below. So apologies for getting my wires crossed. The selling of goods rather than sexual services does put it in a different context, away from the patriarchy compliant version of woman and I can see the edginess/spikiness in the placement.

I can't read it!

Fantastic. Posie is absolutely amazing Grin

ScienceIsTruth · 02/10/2018 16:22

I like the irony. At the end of the day though, & given the way things seem to be atm, I think it's more important that the poster stays up, than where it is, tbh.

I stand with Posie, and everyone else involved in this.

I would also just like to say that I think you're an inspiration Jean. A truly remarkable #adulthumanfemale. Thank you for all you do too. WineGinFlowers

Flooffloof · 02/10/2018 16:28

I love it, placement and all.
It gives no quarter, it's uncompromising.
I am amazed another one is up for the world to see, but damned proud of posie and her posse for organising it.
I will on payday buy some stickers, and see where I can place them for best effect.

Callmejudith · 02/10/2018 16:35

I bloody love this!

HandsOffMyRights · 02/10/2018 16:41

My home city so very proud! Posie, you're unstoppable.

We're unstoppable as a collective force and never forget that.

Carrrotsandcauliflower · 02/10/2018 16:46

Love that well done Posey!!

Bienchen · 02/10/2018 16:48

Huge thanks to Posie, imagination, wit and drive all in one.

Someone’s changed the Wikipedia page for women to include trans women. I’m not sure this is old news. I’m sure the last time I checked the definition was the actual, real definition...

Sorry. Tangent. Can anyone edit wiki pages?

CaptainKirkssparetupee · 02/10/2018 16:53

anyone can

ToeOfFrog · 02/10/2018 16:57

Fabulous.

ErrolTheDragon · 02/10/2018 17:10

Can anyone edit wiki pages?

I think some are restricted and there seems to be some sort of committee who argue about things and undo edits etc - you can look at the edit history.

The page for my village used to have some fantastic inventions on it but then it got cleaned up to verifiable facts. I don't know how wiki editorship works, wheth they're self appointed or what.

ErrolTheDragon · 02/10/2018 17:19

The wiki page for women has a padlock symbol, it's 'protected to prevent vandalism'. Which is good, I think!

From very a quick look, the trans references aren't too overwhelming (might be interesting to see how the men's page compares). From an even quicker glance at recent history the editing isn't totally one sided.

OvaHere · 02/10/2018 17:21

I believe Wiki is another one of those examples of entryism where a number of MRAs/TRAs got in there as a way of manipulating the narrative back when most of us just assumed it was an innocuous online encyclopaedia.

WatchThePotatoesBoil · 02/10/2018 17:32

The talk page of Wikipedia documents the bun-fight over the Woman page.

Curiously, though, the Female page remains sensible.

@arranfan that's now my fb profile picture Grin

Wonderful!

GoldenWonderwall · 02/10/2018 17:39

Looking forward to hearing how the people of Birmingham are scared to walk past a sex shop with the dictionary definition of a word on it, though perhaps they are made of sterner stuff than Liverpudlians (controversial Grin )

Also can we stop with the hand wringing about everything? It’s so irritating and wet (Posie needs media training, suffragette colours, billboard on a sex shop). Does it matter if it’s People’s Front of Judea or the Judean People’s Front? Be bold, be brave!

NettleTea · 02/10/2018 17:45

oops my first deleted post!!

deepwatersolo · 02/10/2018 17:47

Drr. Harrop is truly a sick man.

Some anonymous TRA mocks the billboard by photoshopping it to say:
"Posie Parker proudly presents, Cock Rings & Clit Stims"

And Harrop likes it with his non-anonymous Twitter account.
