I think I am signed up. I tried to do this today, but the process seems very complicated.
If my name doesn't appear when they post the next lists, I'll have another go.

Did something stupid. I read the original letter. Now I feel like I want to wash my brain out with soap.
What vile, nasty, selfish, self-satisfied..... BAH!!!

It was vile, wasn't it?
I'm not sure exactly how the signing works, but I know they are moderating very closely and noting all the names.

Hopefully enough people - like you and Cheryl - know me and will vouch for me.
That other article is so vile, it encapsulates exactly why I have so often refused to call myself a feminist despite my activities to empower the young women I teach. I would NEVER want to be associated with such a bunch of narrow minded harpies.

I'm ranting - aren't I?

It's a subject that needs ranting about.

No, we all like you so it isn't ranting ,it's an impassioned and inspiring polemic . Anyway, don't you need more capital letters and spelling errors for ranting ?

Feminist and happy to stand up and be counted as one, though.
But yes, enough unhappiness around without artificially increasing the supply.

One of my more bizarre quirks: even incensed I still spell and punctuate properly.

Thanks for the vote of confidence. And my name is on today's list.

Excellent!
