But that's the problem Milli; those protesters are going to keep appearing just because groups like FiLiA are only focused on women's rights and you are ignoring them entirely! Can't have that, now, can we? Ignoring men, wow what a concept! "Sisterhood and solidarity" is just what they are objecting to (unless it includes them as well). It's not that they don't understand, the problem is that they do get it, but they don't like it! Poor wee egos are crushed by your womanly powers.
Yes quite, that's exactly it. And this was repeated time and again in so many different FiLiA sessions. It seems like a concerted backlash against feminism.
Oh I can relate to that one. So hard to go away when you are breastfeeding, even if it's a toddler who loves their bedtime booby! All in good time though Anna, you will be there. xxx

You mentioned the Green Party - they just get worse and worse - just read this about their ‘Queerphobia’ guidelines... https://thecritic.co.uk/nowt-so-queerphobic-as-folk/
Yes what a disappointment the Green Party turned out to be!

Sounds fabulous. I might come to the next one. Breastfeeding has put a stop to any weekends away for me right now. But maybe by next year....

I would love to attend one year! Sounds so incredible, women only events are just really special. I attend Women’s circles regularly, life changing.
It's not on next year, it's back on in 2025 when there will be 3000 delegates. I hope you can make it! x
Dear Milli, it was nice to see you on the dancefloor. This is a wonderful write up. Would it be ok to share it on a FB group I admin? X R
Absolutely! Share it as far and wide as you wish! x
This quote gave me chills “Never forget the capacity of progressive men to retreat to misogyny under pressure". Johann Lamont, FiLiA 2023
While you were there I was at my Sacred Feminine women’s retreat which also had a dance party and it was the most fun I’ve had in a long time!
