Happy Day all you adult human females!

Men cannot be women.

Woman is not some man's feeling.

This day is for WOMEN. Wine Thanks

Happy IWD to everyone but men.

Happy International Women’s Day!

Thank you seems inadequate to convey my appreciation to all the adult human females who have defined the word woman through the ages. And to all who are fighting to keep the definition alive today.

And to all those on Mumsnet who have helped me feel sane, who have explained things with clarity and exposing sunlight as it goes. Thank you!

For the the amazing sisterhood of FWR Flowers
Thank you.

To the wrongs that need resistance.
To the right that needs assistance.
To the future in the distance.

Thank you to ask the amazing women on here who have taught me so much.
I read this board every day and everyone is so brave, eloquent and funny.

All not ask Blush

GroggyLegs · 08/03/2020 10:36

Despite my piss poor womaning in comparison to others who are SO much better & effective at it than me...

Happy IWD fellow females!

Happy international women’s day everyone.

This is to celebrate people who have never owned a penis. AKA women.

Gilderoy Lockhart has just barged in.

Languishingfemale · 08/03/2020 10:37

And a very special thank you to all the brave women - politicians, journalists, educationists, lawyers, scientists, detransitioners, authors and poets, sportswomen, feminists, activists, members of FPFW, WPUK, Transgendertrend, Stand Up for Women, LGB Alliance and the rest that I have forgotten for sticking your heads above that very crowded parapet and speaking up for the rights of adult human females everywhere.
As the great journalist Suzanne Moore recently commented:
There are more of us than you think .

Babdoc · 08/03/2020 10:37

Happy IWD! One whole day a year, just for women, when we won’t get harangued by TRAs demanding attention, policing our speech and trying to colonise our spaces. Oh, wait...

GroggyLegs · 08/03/2020 10:37

Oooh JackiFazaki - I might get that printed on a flag!

Which men won't permit me to fly

Winesalot · 08/03/2020 10:39

Great to know as a lawyer Robin you are doing your best for your client. Thank you.

Winesalot · 08/03/2020 10:42

I am always amazed though that the one day of the year to recognize the efforts of past women and what is needed to continue to their efforts gets hijacked.

Prawnofthepatriarchy · 08/03/2020 10:42

Happy International Women’s Day!

Sending love to all human females and extra love to the many magnificent FWR contributors.

Sending Flowers to Lang and all the other feminists forced from this board.

Arhjl · 08/03/2020 10:43

Happy IWD to my fellow females!

Can someone remind me who the celeb man is that spends today replying to tweets by men asking when their day is??

OnlyTheLangoftheTitBerg · 08/03/2020 10:44

Happy IWD vipers!

I owe so much to the clever, articulate, funny, forceful women - past and present - on FWR.

HerRoyalCarbyLess · 08/03/2020 10:45

Happy IWD to all of the amazing MNers who have taught me so much.

Happy International Women's Day!!

I'm glad for this space where women (the adult human female kind) from all backgrounds can share their viewpoints and concerns, their analysis and their jokes, as well as their 'lived' experiences that are usually ignored in favour of anyone male.

There's still a long way to go for women in many parts of the world to gain even basic rights and recognition and safety. I've realised over the past few years how we must never take our rights and freedoms here for granted. The astonishing rapidity with which they can be rolled back means we must always be vigilant for attempts to undermine our rights as we work towards better conditions and opportunities for women everywhere.

OnlyTheLangoftheTitBerg · 08/03/2020 10:46

Arhjl it’s Richard Herring. He painstakingly posts “19th of November” to all the disgruntled insecure men who think they’re handing out gotchas.

T0tallyFuckedUpFamily · 08/03/2020 10:50

You just couldn’t give us one day, could you Robin? A whole month of celebration for trans people, but women aren’t even permitted one day. 🙄

littlbrowndog · 08/03/2020 10:51

To all of you. 💪💪💪💪💪💪💪

Still missing Lang and Magdalen

Any chance we can ignore any merailers and celebrate women? Threads can only be hijacked if we let them.

littlbrowndog · 08/03/2020 10:53

Yep ignore

Women for the win!!!
