Apparently the women in Poland who are protesting about the awful abortion laws are 'people with vaginas'....

Almost 1000 replies & quote tweets from women disagreeing with the wording of that tweet & the director of the Vagina Museum thinks they're all bots. If she was my boss I'd be looking for another job asap

Interesting that they’ve used the W word in subsequent Tweets. I suppose “Those with a vagina Strike” doesn’t have quite the same ring to it.

littlbrowndog · 02/11/2020 20:20

I liked the go worship sausage tweet 😂😂😂😂💪

One of the potential silver linings of COVID-19 was that the Vagina Museum looked as if it might go bust but sadly not.

PotholeParadies · 02/11/2020 21:07

DidoLamenting, may I ask why you wouldn't have been adverse to it going bust? I've never even heard of it before this thread, so I know nothing of what it may or may not have done.

Winesalot · 02/11/2020 21:13

Maybe this thread could be helpful potholes if you haven’t seen it already.

Other posters will no doubt criticise because of its policies on trans issues. I just think it's a ridiculously stupid idea, regardless of what its stance is on trans issues.

Blimey O'Reilly. Thanks for the links.

Not what I think I was expecting at all.

I like that comparison. FYI I have visited the pencil museum, and I rather liked it!

2Rebecca · 02/11/2020 21:50

Agree with Dido Lamenting. If you're reduced to visiting the vagina museum on holiday then the weather is really crap. Sadly I see it as being on a stag weekend itinerary

Winesalot · 02/11/2020 21:54

Now that pencil museum is fun!

Quaagars · 02/11/2020 23:07

A vagina museum?!
Ookay not heard of that one lol, each to their own but I think I'll stick to Madam Tussaud's or the London Eye lol

ThatIsNotMyUsername · 03/11/2020 07:31

I thought they were about to go bust?

Winesalot · 03/11/2020 07:36

I have seen them advertising somewhere in London during the summer so maybe they attracted an investor.

PurpleHoodie · 03/11/2020 07:40

We are a museum going family. We love discovering a new one.

I have placed this one on our no-go list.

The women running this one are shocking and they will not be getting our custom', money or support.

ThatIsNotMyUsername · 03/11/2020 07:45

I wonder who actually visits?

PurpleHoodie · 03/11/2020 08:15

They have deleted 1000+ comments by women and men who have called out their shocking hypocritical stance.

ThatIsNotMyUsername · 03/11/2020 08:17

Isn’t there a way to see deleted tweets? They have had all this before but doggedly persist.

PurpleHoodie · 03/11/2020 08:19

I'm not sure.

Does anyone on here who is also on Twitter know how??

ThatIsNotMyUsername · 03/11/2020 08:21

Oh. That little icon on the far right?

I've been, and was really disappointed. I expected some insightful stuff about medical misogyny, historical artefacts, development of contraception, menstrual practices across the ages and world, some clever interactive and thought provoking displays...

...there is a giant glittery tampon, a pair of used black knickers in a perspex box and some factually incorrect posters.

It's a shame, it could have been brilliant. Instead, it looks like every mention of :women" has been debated before approval by their board - many of whom don't believe themselves to be female. Go figure.

Hadn't seen this article before - worth a read

Sounds boring and grim vivarium
