Hampstead Heath Ladies Pond - Sunday

[RobinEllacotStrike]

There is an action this Sunday to reclaim the pond for women only.

We need loads of women. Who's coming?

Meet at midday at the pond.

Good luck. I'm too far away to come but hope to one day swim there with other ladies.

I suspect you will have lots of pushback from misogynistic men but you are entitled to a male free space. Wish you all the best.

I wish I could go, I used to swim there in the 1980's. Good luck everyone.

I wish I lived nearer, I’d be there! Have you got the press involved?

I'm not organising so I'm not sure about press etc.

Thank you all.

Thank you.
I don't live anywhere near so can't join in, but really hope it's successful.

I remember the wonderful #ManFriday protests a few years ago, and I applaud this one, OP.

Yes!!! Thank you for doing this.
I adore the pond. And after a sexual assault incident (by a man, of course) when I was aged 17 it was the only place I felt comfortable being in a swimming costume for a while.

I am sorry I can't be there but I'm worried about any publicity / back lash as I could lose my job. They've had us do all the inclusion workshops and sign various things.

I am going to be there in spirit and I thank every woman who is standing up for our rights. To preserve something unique and valuable.. For women past, present and future.

I pray my young daughters will one day (soon) be able to enjoy the ladies pond for the female only space it had been since my gran started swimming there.

Ooh, I'm away from Saturday or I'd be there. Well done, op 💪

Sounds fantastic. Good luck

I think there was a thread about this but good to have a reminder closer to the date.

Wishing this group of brave women the very best in standing up to male dominance and their exclusion. Men do not need all three options at the expense of females having any, and any basically decent human beings (never mind ones who claim to be women) would care about this. Sexism and male dominance is nothing to be proud of.

The publicity of any males and their supporters protesting the idea that they shouldn't have everything at the expense of women, would illustrate the problems in a nutshell.

Never been to Hamptstead women's pond but I'm aware of its mythical status, so good luck with the protest!
And I haven't seen the slogan NO MAN IS A WOMAN before, I love it - succinct or what!

Please pass the word on via your networks especially those closer to London. x

I'd love to go but I'm scared I will be fired from my job. My company is fully pronouned up.

I'm away on holiday but was at the ManFriday protest a few years ago and wish everyone attending the very best.

I don't live anywhere near London but I will be there in spirit. Good luck,! 💪

This is the only coverage I've seen.
