"There was a lot of angry activism against all the blatant misogyny that women faced. For example, women without men were barred from Wimpey bars after 10 pm at night. So, groups of women got together to occupy these bars and soon Wimpey was forced to change this rule. Later women began to take action against male sexual violence with the formation of Reclaim the Night marches. By the beginning of the 1980s, I became part of an anonymous group called Angry Women. We were taking action against the increasing liberalisation of violent male pornography, and targeted sex shops, cinemas showing sexually violent murders of women and sexualised advertising."
It's amazing that women have been doing so much for so long, and attitudes towards women still haven't changed at all. Men are deficient, in so many ways-that's the unfortunate truth.
For younger, and non-British women: Wimpey Bars were a (terrible) British take on the American fast food joint that existed before McD's found its way across the waters. I don't think they even served booze.
This circle is for discussing anything and everything relating to women's history, even if it's not explicitly feminist.
