Anyone still on mumsnet?
They have quite a good thread on Giggle vs. Tickle, but very short (as in sub five years) memories when it comes to women's activism.
Someone's suggested women need to muscle into men's spaces, and has suggested Hampstead Ponds.
This was, of course, already tried by the wonderful "Man Friday" protest group (bare breasts and frilly pink swimcaps).
The outcome was informative as to just how inconsistent and anti-women the male establishment is prepared to be. The women were escorted from the Pond under threat of prosecution for breach of the peace. The TIMs of course were left completely unbothered by PC Plod over in the Ladies' Pond.
So now Hampstead has a Men's Pond, a Mixed Pond and... another Mixed Pond, as officially sanctioned and policed by the Metropolitan Police (those well known bastions of equality and women's rights).
