I bloody love women

[Sexnotgender]

Despite the absolute carnival of shite being thrown at us we are amazing.

That we can laugh even through this nonsense is fantastic.

Keep on keeping on. We will win and we will celebrate ❤️

@Odense

Oh. Balls. I’ve got the right to apply for a credit card shoved down the back of the shoe cupboard. I’ll get a broom and hook it out.

Soz

Do this, much more spirit-lifting and a good use of the broom:

The quote from J Bindel on the back of Simon Edge’s book is brilliant; “I laughed so hard I nearly fell in my cauldron...”

I found my “right to train a racehorse”, circa 1966, down the back of the sofa.

Where’s everyone keeping their cervix’s these days? Do you keep a spare for special occasions?

My cervix brings all the boys to the yard.

@ArabellaScott

My cervix brings all the boys to the yard.

You know all those special cookery books that deal with the lesser used bits of meat (eyes, melts, the uterus - with nuanced recipes for bovine v. porcine uterus as a point of delicacy)?

I've had a shufty through the indices of a couple, absolutely nothing for the cervix - not even a note praising it for its utility in strengthening a stock for a soup base.

I question that your cervix ever brought all the boys to the yard.

I'm loving this 🤣

I bet Fanny Craddock could rustle something up with a cervix though @EmbarrassingAdmissions

I trod on a right on my way to the loo last night. Hurt my bloody foot.

I’m busy fighting with my right to party. The fucking Beastie Boys keep trying to drag me back to 1986 where I sported a horrendous mullet and neon leg warmers. I’m resisting but it’s tempting.

I admit to being a member of the Secret Cervix. Lots of rights hidden away in those vaults, including the right. The right of married women being allowed to keep their own earnings and the right to obtain a separation order from a magistrate if a husband is violent are creaking and clanking a bit but they haven't yet bothered M.

Or N. Or P come to that.

Mrs Beeton has a whole subsection on the icing & decoration of the cervix, I believe.

Also 'The Accomplish'd Lady's Delight In Preserving, Physick, Beautifying, Cuntery and Cookery', 1675.

And see: 'The whole Cunty Body of Cookery Dissected, 1661'

Among Cock-Ale, Naples Biskit and A Plain Ordinary Posset there are plenty of good recipes for simple cuntry folk.

I've got the right to open a bank account without asking my dead dad for permission stuffed under my mattress still.

I'm sure that one will have to be the first to go back. Banks must be sick of sending women bank statements, when we can't really tell what it's saying without asking our dads.

I wonder if I could put all my hoarded women's rights in the skip down the road? Would anyone notice?
Even if I chuck 'em out I'll probably accumulate more, it always happens

Ooh @Wrongsideofhistorymyarse- mind yourself; Women's rights can be sharp

You lot

I'm sure my TWAW daughter will be nodding in approval when she sees me carrying her right to inherit money and property out to the skip tomorrow morning. She won't mind in the slightest seeing her brother getting the lot.

I'm really busy hoarding my right not to be raped and murdered by a violent and abusive partner and for him to get off with a justification of hot sex gone wrong - oops, sorry. I didn't have my specs on. That one seems to not exist when I look more closely.

So as someone long married but rather irked with her much beleaguered DH this evening, I opened the drawer of my bedside table and gosh what came rushing out?! Not only my right to submit my tax affairs separately from my DH (which I didn’t have when we got together) and (praise be) my right to decline his amorous advances despite being married to him (which I also didn’t have when we got together).

See, now in all seriousness that’s fucking scary, @WorkingItOutAsIGo

A bunch of (being charitable) well meaning do gooders trying to,be all nice and inclusive. They just haven’t got a fucking clue how recent and how damn fragile women’s rights are. Even in the UK. Nevermind anywhere else.

That article on the bbc news website. Now the taliban are back, female judges are being hunted down by the violent criminals they put away. 20 years those women have had rights. Gone overnight.

It was only earlier this year that the ECJ made a decision on Equal Pay - and issue that has been unresolved since equal pay was introduced in the 1970s.

Can woman have hoarded a right that has been available legally but not operationalised for them almost 50 years on?

I need to go to bed. I read that Fitt found her dead dad stuffed under her mattress

I’ve had to scrape a bit of mould off the top of a few of mine from a while back. I must have used some and then forgot to store them in the fridge. Whoops! Still taste OK tho.
Reminded me to crack on with using the ones I’ve already got before I get given any more in future..

@JoodyBlue

My favourite discovery of a hoarded right was the right for women to be served in pubs which has been hoarded since 1982. If we give that one back, I wonder if the rights clamourers will be quite as keen on opting into the no-fun-fest. Maybe they will just choose to disguise themselves as men on a night out.

Ah now that explains why my mum always refuses to go to the bar herself, as she was already married with kids by the time that one came in.

Can I mention a right the women in my family have been hoarding since 1882 - the Married Women's Property Act ?
Not only did it allow married women to hold & control own property in their own right, it gave the married woman a separate legal entity from that of her husband

I’ve been hoarding the 1919 sex disqualification act which allowed women to become vets, engineers, lawyers etc. I think it’s about time I threw it out as times have changed and these are nowadays obviously men’s jobs and no one needs this act in there confusing people.

Ooh another right I have just discovered in my bathroom cabinet as I cleaned my teeth - the one my grandmother didn’t have - was staying in her civil service job after she got married! That was only in the 1930s.
