There's been a sticker....

[fatblackcatspaw]

for IWD Scottish women have been stickering and beribboning across the land - see twitter. All the way to John O Groats #womenwontwheesht

Oh yes.

Ahem #triggerwarning

Spotted today in Edinburgh - not stickers, but a slate attached to a railing, easily removable, with womenwontwheesht hashtag. Thank you to whoever did this, coming across it made my day!

A picture of Bobby in his wee coatie was tweeted out by Ian Rankin yesterday - thereby spreading #hatefulhaberdashery far and wide

Oh that's wonderful.

Loving reading the comments 💜💚🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

I'm just thinking of trans kids on their way to school having to look at transphobic stickers plastered around the town, before another day of bullying at school and followed by another night of being misgendered at home.

There is nothing transphobic about the stickers. Unless you think women having rights is a problem for trans people?

@334bu

Well done Fringe but what about these.

Interesting. I suppose one person's justified stickering is another person's mindless defacing of public property with witless slogans.

Having seen those I'm inclined to go with JJ's views - if you're going to do this it should be something which can be easily removed without causing any damage. And you should accept that anyone seeing it has the right to remove it.

Does anyone else remember when Kiera Bell said Posie Parker's poster helped her?

I dont remember that, but it sounds lovely.

Can anyone confirm whether Bobby still has his crochet coat?

In what way is “women’s rights are not a hate crime” transphobic?

Ian Rankin mentions it being on yesterday afternoon I think in his tweet who knows today.

Just wonderful, not a mean sticker in sight , just calm and factual and still they can't see it.

I quite like the thought of girls seeing "women's rights are not a hate crime" on poles all the way to school, especially considering the epidemic of sexual violence and harassment in schools.
It's a small thing, a sticker, but they'll know that there are other women out there who think they deserve basic human rights and are willing to put it out there in public.

And as an aside, if you think that women's rights is a hate crime, then the problem really isn't with women.

The truth is they ARE about taking women's rights away.

Imagine how a teenage trans girl, already being bullied at home and school feels when she sees stickers on the street that imply she's a predatory sex offender. And think how that plays into the hands of the bullies.

And imagine how a girl feels

There is just no evidence of any empathy whatsoever is there. Being kind only seems to go in one direction.

There is absolutely nothing transphobic about those stickers.

Where is your empathy for the young girls walking to school?

My first thought was that I don't have to imagine. Like many schoolgirls I was harassed both at school and on the way to and from it, and have the experience of having that minimised and dismissed.
The lack of concern for women and girl's rights to safety is something I have directly experienced.
I'd imagine most of the women on this thread don't need to imagine it either.
Its pretty ridiculous and speaks volumes that simply stating that 'women's rights aren't a hate crime' is even up for 'debate'.
It's the minimum starting point to finding a resolution to this whole mess and one that women aren't going to budge on.

Imagine how girls feel when they're supposed to pretend they're not humiliated, embarrassed, ashamed and really, really don't want to have undress or use the toilet in that situation, but aren't allowed to talk about it or show it in case a male child feels accused of being sexually unsafe.

Why are the female children's feelings so unimportant and they must put their needs and feelings aside to nurture the male child? And why does the male child not have to carry the same burden of putting aside their own feelings and needs to care for female children? And lets think about whether we should as a society be training female children that their right to privacy, dignity, to say no to a male person, should depend on whether the male person may be offended or upset by their no? Are we dropping an equal burden on all male children incidentally?

Some major sexism issues happening here, not to mention a serious lack of equality of respect and care for non-trans children.
