The FWR Magdelen Berns memorial awards for Feminism 2019 *Title edited at OP's request*

[TinselAngel]

Now granted, I've not fully fleshed this idea out, but in the light of @theflushedzebra pointing out that trans activists never seem to stop giving each other awards, we should have our own virtual FWR awards for services to feminism in 2019.

As the founder of this ceremony, I expect designers will be queuing up to allow me to "wear" them.

Post your nominations below, and feel free to describe how fabulous you look at the ceremony!

My nomination for best British female solo artist goes to : Maya Forstarter for grace and clarity under considerable pressure.

Professor Kathleen Stock and Jean Hatchet

A special award to whichever of the thighs it was who named us all the RFFs - the Real Fanny Fighters. I love that

The Leeds Spinners for Best Protest Banners!

“Wrong Side of History My Arse”

Such beautiful sentiments, so expertly crafted.

James Kirkup and Janice Turner for their journalism when nobody else was talking.

All of the above, and Maria MacLachlan for taking one for the team from a vile XY, and for going to court.

Can Man Friday be nominated as a group in the Swimwear section?

And as the inventor of the patented Wanklet, I will offer up a hand crafted Wanklet, complete with integral pig, as a prize for the appropriate (?!) category!

Love it!

Great thread @TinselAngel I shall be wearing my glitteriest outfit, and clapping wildly for all the fantastic women already nominated.

My own nomination is for the category Women in Art:

PL Henderson, curator of @WomensArt1 - targeted by TRAs calling themselves "Terfs Out of Art" - for not featuring "enough" trans people.

Sheila Jeffreys needs an award for contribution to knowledge.

Sheila will get Tinsel's special Shero award.

I second Maria Mac!

Don't forget Sandy draws badly in the art category

Stuff - omg yes - Sandy Draws Badly must have a nomination - I suggest a split category: Art and Animation.

I also think there should e a "Sticker Hellraising" Category - although I'm torn between the Women Don't Have Penises stickers on Anthony Gormley's statues on the beach, and the simpler, but oh-so-brazen one on the Stonewall building sign

Dr Lisa Littman for her work on ROGD.

God, can you imagine the piss up we'd have?

Category:

Best exit from a court whilst wearing Suffragette colours: Venice Allen & Linda Bellos.

A portrait of victorious women.

Morning Star for best Newspaper consistency in (GC) class analysis.

This thread makes me happy

I'm sorry but the flower on page 2 looks far too much like a fleshlight for my liking.

I'm voting Yaniv for recruitment to the GC cause.

On a more serious not the women who held a memorial for Lilias Addie, a victim of the Scottish witch trials and are doing a lot of great work to bring the witch trials to people's attention and honour the victims.

Brilliant thread.
Feels like a power up button 💪

Would we have a corporate sponsor for the event?
Who has been standing firm -Birdseye? Centre Parcs, The Spectator, The Economist.

Which venues have hosted WPUK events that could host the ceremony? And wasn’t there a pub that put themselves out there for GC feminists to gather when one woke bar had thrown them out?

Badley Fuckitt Gin Bar for the after party.

A special award to whichever of the thighs it was who named us all the RFFs - the Real Fanny Fighters

you are fighters, you have real fannies.

We'll take all our prizes in organs please, we're making clones in our kraft korner this week

Lovely thread Tonsil just when you thought the world had become a spunkgibbon.
