Would you take part in a mass naked lie down demo to highlight the erasure of women's rights?

There's a small rumble on Twitter suggesting this as a way of women showing our vulnerability and refusal to be pushed aside. And a shock tactic obviously. Would you take part?

Absolutely not. What a pile of shit.

JulesJules · 02/08/2020 21:29

Of course not. Really, really stupid idea.

Jeeeez · 02/08/2020 21:32

So what could / should we do...?

So in spite of 99% of replies on this thread saying no, absolutely not, TRAs on Twitter have decided we're going ahead with this and they're going to join in, confident they won't be spotted.

That's put a very unwelcome image in my head!
ErrolTheDragon · 02/08/2020 21:59

Late to the thread to add another, no, ridiculous idea.

testing987654321 · 02/08/2020 22:35

Are they thinking along the lines of the mass naked bike rides to raise awareness of how vulnerable cyclists are

Very late to this thread, aside from "fuck no" on the grounds that I am sick of women being expected to endlessly be naked, I had no idea the naked bike rides were to emphasise their vulnerability. I thought it was just because they liked cycling naked. So that's a second no on the grounds that it wouldn't work at all.

I am really not fussed if a TRA wishes to take my place on the 'naked demo' march, so long as I don't have to be there.
GoshHashana · 02/08/2020 22:55

No way. It's a myth we've been fed that liberation comes through taking off our clothes.

Winesalot · 02/08/2020 23:25

Would we just be perpetuating the emperors new fashion statement then? I’d rather be able to point out that he has no clothes on first without losing my life.

Oh... and to be able to discuss what gives certain emperor’s erections in broad daylight (they don’t bother to hide anymore) these days without getting deleted too. They used to like slices of pastry crusts with fillings, now they like GPS readings and things.

Thesuzle · 02/08/2020 23:29

No. What a stupid idea, female nakedness always detracts from whatever the females are trying to say.

ErrolTheDragon · 02/08/2020 23:36

They're welcome to, if they really want to demonstrate that TWANW.

Porcupineinwaiting · 02/08/2020 23:50

Wtaf? No!

NonnyMouse1337 · 02/08/2020 23:53

Nah. Better to have clothes on. And be angry. And loud. And marching through the streets.

Quillink · 02/08/2020 23:58

Women never really down tools though, do they? Because if they do then children and vulnerable people suffer.

Well said. The practicalities of looking after small children and elderly relatives have to happen somehow. They might be mundane but literally keep other people alive.

DDemelza · 03/08/2020 00:02

But women aren't bothered by women's vulnerability. They fucking revel in it.

DDemelza · 03/08/2020 00:03

Men aren't bothered*

This woman needs some sleep.

StrangeLookingParasite · 03/08/2020 00:27

Absolutely not.

Totickleamockingbird · 03/08/2020 00:34

Nope!

Where’s Willy?
Stellwagen · 03/08/2020 00:59

What's supposed to be the reason for "showing vulnerability " anyway? Why is that a good thing? I see it a lot.

And nope, won't be getting naked .

okeydokeywokeyblokey · 03/08/2020 02:15

No way, can't imagine anyone would listen to anything we said if naked

AvocadoBathroom · 03/08/2020 02:31

This is a joke right?
I tell you what I'd be prepared to do.
Write a banner in my period blood.

AvocadoBathroom · 03/08/2020 02:35

Men would love it if we got naked and it gives them what they want.
A naked vulnerable woman.
Maybe they can thrown eggs at us. Or bricks.
So even more of a no.

If I could keep my hat on....
