Why is Posie making money from Suffragette colours when she's quite clear she's not a feminist?

Seems a bit cynical to me.

JellySaurus · 11/04/2022 16:43

Anyone know whether it's silk or polyester? I presume polyester at that price, but would like to know for sure.

Cailleach1 · 11/04/2022 16:55

Unhelpful as I don't know for sure! I presume the same; don't think it could be silk at that price at 110X100 (cm?). 43X39 inches.

An advantage is that you wouldn't have to worry about it being too delicate as you stylishly drape it/ tie it onto various things.

True, but I can't wear polyester next to my skin. All my scarves are cotton, viscose or silk.

What kind of feminist does she say she's not? I'm sure she believes in women's suffrage, and the colours haven't been used much by feminist groups in the last 100 years so are due a revival.

Here you are: Andrea Dworkin has this covered for you: Feminism is a political practice of fighting male supremacy on behalf of women as a class, including all the women you don't like, including all the women you don't want to be around, including all the women who use to be your best friends whom you don't want anything to do with any more. It doesn't matter who the individual women are

Fabulous @MrsOvertonsWindow this should be pinned at the top of threads!

Just dug mine out of its packaging to check for you, *JellySaurus", I'm afraid you're not in luck - 100 percent polyester..

It's great isn't it MichelleScarn ?
It's something we've lost in recent years with all these purity spirals and sniping from the sidelines at women courageous enough to speak out. I have huge admiration for all women speaking out at the moment, no matter how small the comment, the sticker, the ribbon or the act.

Why is my local newsagent making money from selling cigarettes when he doesn't even smoke?

I've got my eye on this sort of thing. A bit like the modern version of wearing a fish, so that we can secretly identify each other.

Get your suffragette chiffon scarf here

Among my regrets is that once I could have bought an old silver bracelet with "Votes For Women" engraved on its clasp. It had the three colours of stones running the whole length, too. But I had no money.

I have a pair of the Dinny Hall suffragette earrings, they are absolutely beautiful.

The scalf doesn't look chiffon. Chiffon is thin and translucent
