…is here.
I had a fab night. I met and marched with sister-friends. I saw women I know who didn’t see me but I know they would’ve if I’d needed them to. I’m guessing there were women that I didn’t see but who who saw me, too. I yelled my lungs out and I probably won’t be able to speak in the morning. I missed sister-friends I was supposed to see because there were just so many of us there but I know that doesn’t really matter because we were all there.
We all did this last year. We all did this the year before that too. Actually, some of us have been doing this kind of thing since the 70’s - can you imagine?
How come we’re still having to do this?
How come nothing much has changed?
I want things to change. All feminists want things to change - for the better -for all women.
Much love to Fin for being who she is - it’s a massive deal to get London’s roads closed for a bunch (troupe/tribe/army?) of women saying “Enough!”. Personally, I think it’s a huge deal to have SR close their main London doors on a Saturday night because the Feminists are in town so Yay us! A minor victory, maybe. But it’s minor victories that win wars, isn’t it?

You were there too! Damn! I knew there must have been loads of blogging-friends there whose faces I had never seen. Good to know you were there.

It’s a shame that I couldn’t get there what with gallivanting around mountains and recharging Sparkle Batteries.
Thanks for the pictures and the report: they make me rather proud to be a UK Rad Fem.

Hey Witchy, so sorry I missed your message on my blog! I didn’t check the net til today from thursday!! I did see a rather lovely woman marching in front of me with a purple and blue witches hat…I wonder who that was! I was marching with EM fems again - Michelle, her sis, Kim et al. My Mum, Aunt and Sis were there with me too. I think it was absolutely fantastic
