Rights I have hoarded, these have all been achieved in the last 60 years and I'm not about to let them out of my cupboard. (probably not a full list)
- termination of pregnancy
- free contraception from the NHS regardless of marital status
- unmutilated genitals (Prohibition of Female Circumcision Act 1985)
- not to be raped by my husband (1994)

On Kindness
I am fed up with seeing women trying to protect women only spaces being told to be kind.
I am fed up because this is framing women as being unkind because they are asserting women & girl's rights.
I am fed up because kindness does not seem to apply to women & girls
I experience a world a country which, after over 150 years of feminist activism, is still not kind to women & girls. A world where women & girls are still not treated as equals to men and boys.

Ok if feminists could go into schools and teach children about sex and gender what would they teach?
I think it may go something like this:-
Dress however you want - it is fine for girls to wear trousers & flat shoes, boys can wear skirts if they like
colours are just colours - you can like whichever one you choose
The length of your hair has nothing to do with whether you are male or female
Women & girls can be strong strong & assertive, men & boys can be nurturing & sensitive (ideally everybody should be a all of these)

in recent years there has been a debate about early makes a person a woman (or a man).
Either
Genitals, chromosomes, gonads
Or
The brain
We believe the former
The people who believe the latter believe it is possible to be born with a woman's brain in body with male genitals etc
As feminists we believe that women are discriminated against & oppressed because they are female, it is those people with vulvas, xx.chromosomes & ovaries who suffer from sexism.
We believe sexism still exists worldwide & in our country.

So why have women been putting t shirts on statues up and down the country? And why with the dictionary definition of woman?
Women have fought long and hard for the right to be accepted fully as members of society:
•It is just over a 100 years since some women won the right to vote on equal terms with men.
•43 years ago discrimination against women in the workplace was made illegal
