Woman’s place UK conference

[Silencedwitness]

Is anyone else thinking or going?

New have DMed you. Have to say I am a little bit anxious about tomorrow. I have had enough of men screaming at me.

I'd love to go but can't, I've donated towards security etc. instead. Have a fab time all, make sure you report back!

Hope you all enjoy yourselves tomorrow.

I look forward to reading/watching all about it.

Strategies please!!!!

Sorry, realised I sounded flippant about walking past the aggressive males tomorrow. They're a fucking disgrace, and I'm so angry that women are feeling afraid for their safety while meeting.

I'm preparing to hold my head high, smile at them, and maybe offer them chocolate buttons.

Maybe not the last bit - the chocolate buttons are all mine !

I have fashioned a bracelet from blue embroidery silk. It will be a beacon upon my wrist.

I'll have in my hair and round my wrist

Good luck for tomorrow everyone who is going, I wish I could be there, unfortunately I'll be at work, with toilets 'for everyone' and a new maternity policy for 'expectant people'

Hope that you are all right midclegs

So blue ribbons is the sort-of MN marker? Excellent, I will sort out something that is approximately suitable looking forward to it!

I've not sorted out anything MN-y

Likewise.

I've got some spare ribbons, so will be on the look out for mumsnetters wanting to be beribboned

Good morning all conference Mumsnetters!

I am nowhere near organised enough to have acquired ribbon, but it seems the organisers will give us sticky labels to write our Mumsnet names on, Twitter handles etc.

So do come and say hi, it’s going to be a good day

I am about to head out for my train...

Hello, very late to the thread. I will be there. I don't have a ribbon but I will be wearing an orange top.

I've read a bit about the objections to WPUK's approach. I'm not a particularly learned feminist, I'm just grateful that there's a place where I can listen, learn, meet, contribute and then bring energy and ideas back home.

Hope everyone has a great day!

On the train. Looking forward to the day to meeting like-minded people irl. I have some ribbon ready.

I have not had coffee.
This may not go well.

On my way. No ribbon but a blue scarf and an MN badge

I've arrived. Protesters have arrived.

Here all fine. Wearing a salmon top and jeans,come and say hello!

On way - thought there would be protesters 😬

It's fine. I've been in more intimidating playgroups

I'm en route on Tube - have got a braided blue and yellow bracelet (also serves neatly as an EU lament)

Any coffee in there?

There’s coffee but only found decaf so far.

It's fine. I've been in more intimidating playgroups

agreed.

(Thinking of the toddlers, not the mothers)
