Woman: Human Adult Female

[nellaella]

Banner Drop on M32 Bristol Saturday to mark the beginning of stand up for women week. How can I send you photo and small film of public reaction?

Prove it

You know I keep waiting for my cheque from these right wing extremists...

Actually, the banner is funded by thousands of women like me - a crusty old leftie. But if it makes you feel better to think it’s right wing extremists, rather than many, many women like me, crack on.

OMG women in the USA who are right wing believe that women are adult human females!

Is this one of their more offensive views?

What’s “extreme” about saying woman = adult human female...?

Also nella a whole week? Anything we can contribute? My money is left wing, do I need to convert it to dodgy televangelism dollars or can I wing it to the campaign directly?

I am really tired of this religious right / usa women stuff.

The whole point of feminism is that WOMEN have particular issues specific to their sex and a shared history of oppression specific to their sex and shared biology and experiences relating to that, many of which are pretty shit. The nature and severity of this oppression varies in severity across teh world and across time but it all comes from teh same root and WOMEN have an understanding of this stuff that men do not. This is why we need representation.

The fact that women of different stripes and beliefs all seem to thikn that the words woman / girl are being taken from us without our consent and that this is not trivial, says something doesn't it. And not what some people want it to say.

When right and left wing women AGREE that something is bad then well, it's probablu bad, right?

I am also waiting for my cheque though.

Sury American extremist religious types would want women to be barefoot and pregnant in the kitchen?

The best way to put up a photo OP is to directly upload it. You can put a link to a video in a post as well. Be aware that some uploaded stuff can contain data that links to you, so make sure wherever your link leads is anonymised, as also clearly safe (many of us won’t click on links that don’t go to places we recognise.)

Why would Americans fund a banner on the M62? What utterly immature drivel.

Do women have to be left wing to be feminists, to be allowed to take part in debate, to believe that woman = adult human female, to oppose self-id? News to me, I'm not left wing but I am certainly a gender critical feminist. Surely women, like men, should be able to hold political views and/or views on any other issue?

I believe that many women in the UK (political views undisclosed) have donated to Posie, FairPlayForWoman, A Woman's Place etc.

We're not going to get far if women have to agree on everything vaguely political or contentious to be allowed to join in!

on the M32 near Brizzol
Sedition occurred in the drizzle,
A banner unfurled
From across the world,
Funded by women of all political stripes because all of us are bloody sick of being treated like crap.

Oh that doesn’t rhyme. Never mind.

Hamilton -

The M62 is the most iconic of all the british motorways as far as americans are concerned.

They can't get enough of it.

"We're not going to get far if women have to agree on everything vaguely political or contentious to be allowed to join in!"

YY - and that's the whole point of it.

American tourists do not come to the UK for our lovely scenery, heritage and royal family but because they can’t get enough of our motorways 😂😂

The M62 is the most iconic of all the british motorways as far as americans are concerned.

It was the M32 FFS!! All this careless mis-numbering is so hateful.

But maybe it wasn’t the Americans who paid for it? Maybe it was the Russians? Or even some sort of industrial espionage from China?

One thing we can safely rule out is it can’t be British women grouping together and paying for it themselves. That would be ridiculous.

It certainly knocks Route 66 into a cocked hat, whether it’s the M32 or the 62.

How dare they. The American's favourite road has to be "the sweet little Chiswick flyover", opened by Jayne Mansfield 60 years ago. Perhaps the Americans could fund a banner there.

I find "feminists" claiming the territory, when self-ID proposals affect all women, almost as irritating as TRAs claiming our vocabulary. Indeed on this board I wonder if some are one and the same.

But good on you Bristolians. We are many. They are few. Plus we have science on our side.

Yes I’ve often come across groups of American tourists - sick of the usual Windsor castle-lake District-Edinburgh route, they whisper with awe about the plastic sandwiches at Catterick, and name their children after Leigh Delamere...

A bunch of women with a dictionary definition in large letters = right wing 😂
Feminist seen turning right on a roundabout= fascist.
Right handed feminists there’s lots out there = feminists are fascists.
All those women standing on the right on escalators to use the tube=fascists.
Explains why there are no dodgy men at all, ever ever ever masquerading as women. Men would never be right wing, that’s a bad feminist role.

loving the limerick Bowl. I must say it's nice to see some poetry around the place.

makes us look classy

Bowl, do report on your imminent dressing-down from PC Gul as soon as possible!

OMG I forgot Limericking With Intent is a crime now.

It’s a fair cop, I’m afraid I’m guilty of ThoughtCrime too. Gulag here I come! Shall I go via the M32? It’s quite a detour but I hear something exciting is happening there...
