Suffragette ribbon in the wild

Seen at legoland this week, tied to a fence by some benches. Perhaps I don’t get out much but I’ve not seen anything like that before, other than online I mean.

That's cute!

Rhannion · 02/07/2021 20:06

Yes they are wild up here in Scotland too, plus stickers!

Ninkanink · 02/07/2021 20:07

Brilliant!

MrsFin · 02/07/2021 20:11

Fab! I think I'll make some to door around.

Caramellatteplease · 02/07/2021 20:16

In legoland? Do we need politics at a child centred theme park?

Anywhere else would be awesome

Suffragette ribbons in a place where lots of mothers take their children, I think it's the perfect place. It's hardly a recruitment poster for the BNPConfused

I wouldn't want to see TWAW stickers etc at legoland. By putting a ribbon there you are putting a child centred location up for grabs as a political battlefield.

Its distasteful.

So are organisations grooming young children and telling them that being born in the wrong body is a thing and that a prescription of untested and potentially dangerous off-label hormones can fix them.

This.

Children and young people are being directly victimised and mentally as well as physically damaged (and will be damaged even more so in years to come, to a truly horrible extent) due to the ideological shit storm we’re in the midst of.

So yes, we need politics where the mothers are.

I’ll comment where I like when it comes to women and children’s rights and protections, thanks. I believe that’s what feminism is about? —Women’s issues?

Or is it about something else now?

ArabellaScott · 02/07/2021 21:02

Bonnie!

Wanttocry · 02/07/2021 21:02

@MotherOffCod

You guys realise this is on the feminism chat board?

There’s a whole board devoted to this topic for posts and discussions.

Is there any chance we could have this one just for other stuff, like mnhq intended it?

According to what I can see, this is on the feminism sex and gender board

Also, suffragettes are relevant to feminism.

Ninkanink · 02/07/2021 21:04

Maybe it’s been moved already? Or maybe @MotherOffCod has wandered onto the ‘wrong’ topic.

Either way, happy to see the ribbon!

As MotherOffCod has now withdrawn her post I suspect the fault was entirely theirs, be nice to have an apology but I guess that's asking too much.
Wanttocry · 02/07/2021 21:07

@Ninkanink I don’t think so, I was very careful where I put it to avoid this very issue. Perhaps the little link at the top that takes you straight to the “feminism: chat” board has caused the confusion.

It got moved just as I posted apparently. MNHQ are very on the ball this evening apparently.

I’ll leave you to it…

OnTheSeaShore · 02/07/2021 21:17

How fab to see that and I think it's absolutely an apt place to position it.

I've bought some lovely ribbon in suffragette colours, I just need to get out and start decorating. Smile

Sexnotgender · 02/07/2021 21:27

Love it!

Theeyeballsinthesky · 02/07/2021 21:32

There were ribbons in the wild in exeter on Saturday Grin

DaisiesandButtercups · 02/07/2021 21:52

How lovely! Thanks for sharing. It lifts the spirits. Grin

tellmewhentheLangshiplandscoz · 02/07/2021 21:56

That's fantastic. I'd be so excited if I'd seen it.

Its distasteful.

Kids being encouraged to believe they may be born in the wrong body.

Being prescribed puberty blockers.

Adults cheerleading them to have surgery to remove healthy body parts.

That ribbon and those words are definitely distasteful.

Deliriumoftheendless · 02/07/2021 22:10

You didn’t approach it?

Them’s dangerous I hear.
