Happy International Women's Day!

Happy Day all you adult human females!

Men cannot be women.

Woman is not some man's feeling.

This day is for WOMEN.

Floral I feel I don't know you well enough to say I love you but I think your posts are fantastic. They often make me laugh - sometimes just at your cleverness and command of language - and they always make me think

Flo, what a lovely thing to say. I think I might log off for the evening because I don't think the internet will get much better than that for me today. Plus I've been at work for 8+ hours and I'm knackered. Peace out, everyone. You're brill xx

Thank you for linking that thread groggy therestofus is brilliant
This was my fav “Misogyny is misogyny, even if its wrapped in a rainbow flag.” Which has been Nicely illustrated on this very thread

Happy IWD to all the adult human females on this board.

I'm late to the party with this feminism lark. But you have opened my eyes, made me think, and laugh and realise, despite the crap, how much I am glad I'm a woman.
Thank you.

Fabulous post Floral.

I thought this looked good although I am a bit surprised

Groggy, thank you for the excellent link.

I hope that you have had a great IWD. Love to all on here x

Happy International Transplaining Day to all my fellow Adult Human Females (homo sapiens of the sex class who bear ova over the age of 18) ❤️

Happy International Women's day.

@RobinMoiraWhite
You're right. This post did unfortunately sound like they were specifically denying trans women.
Today is for all women! Cis or trans! Shame people can't see that.

Thank you for all the work you do. You're an inspiration, girl!

🙄

This day is for women and only women.
Not transwomen.

Nah, Orwx, you can say it all you like, but everyone with any sense, knows it’s for women.

You're an inspiration, girl! A male bodied ADULT being called a girl. Nothing off about that. 🤢

Happy Women's Day to all

Yay for this board.
I think I’m branding myself a gender abolitionist. Let’s dismantle gender. Do things women aren’t meant to. Be rude, don’t apologise, don’t explain 👍🏻

Happy IWD. Had a great day with fab women in Ed yesterday. Got a bit annoyed by the corporate IWD womxn nonsense today but probably shouldnt because no one in my real life uses that word or believes males can be women. Had a good cycle ride with a female friend. There are more of us and we know what women are and are increasingly confident about saying so. The men can have other days.

My local Women's Aid used to organise an IWD event but decided not to this year. I gave up volunteering for the event after 2017 after being chastised by one of the stallholders for not being progressive or inclusive when I disagreed with her on self-ID. Couldn't be arsed giving up my labour to them after that. Today I taught my ds how to iron his school uniform and had a nice time volunteering elsewhere . Happy IWD to all women and let's keep at it .

Ahhh, there's Willis popping up on FWR to sympathise with the male-born posters as usual. All's right with the world.

None of you can call yourself feminists. You don't understand the meaning of feminism. I'm shocked and appalled that your views can be so discriminatory and old-fashioned.

International Women's Day is for ALL women! I don't give a shit what someone has in their pants (or had in their pants as a child) - quit focusing on other people's genitalia and celebrate STRONG WOMEN!

My daughter is 4 years old and she is more respectful and feminist than any of you.

We can't call ourselves feminists but men can call themselves women?

Aye, alright love.

International Women's Day is for ALL women!

I agree
