IWD2021 got me thinking about the many many women I'm now connected to.
Pre 2018 and the Great Peaking, most women friends, acquaintances, colleagues were pretty much like me....vaguely leftie, vaguely arty, good people, playground mums, etc etc. The HUGE amount of women I now listen to, read, read about, talk to, rely on.....they're a mixed bunch.
Some even eat meat, or believe in a god, or.....eek vote Tory. I now accept that they can still mean well.
Maybe I shouldn't've judged the mum with the weekly leaf blowing men and the oven valets, though, ffs, weekly?? Equally I shouldn't presume that women, even feminist women can't be arseholes.
Monday was a great day. Images shared of actions, celebrations, ribbons and banners by groups of RadFems, of ReSisters, of Soroptimists, Womens Institutes....neighbours smiling at Suffragette gates, strangers writing messages on slates...... Great stuff.
Now its Thursday.
