Inspired by Adhesively Unchallenged, Stick it! .. to the patriarchy, and Charliegrrl I have decided to enter the world of feminist stickering. Though they have a strong anti-lad mags focus (which I applaud) I've decided to branch out and make my own stickers to match my own feminist politics. I'm trying to hunt down some classic feminist slogans (beyond 'the personal is political') to mix in with those more in tune with what's going on politically at the moment. The Spivak quote below, for instance, is for me to stick on the those awful articles in the free London papers about Muslim women and the veil. Hopefully this will make my journey to work in the morning feel like some sort of stealth mission, rather than the aching boredom that it usually is. And just maybe, someone will read it when I get off the train.
Hopefully I can get my camera working again by the end of the week so I can post pics. Otherwise, here are the ideas for slogans I have so far:
General
Women deserve better
Herstory: The greatest story never told
I'll Be A Post-Feminist In The Post-Patriarchy
Listen to women for a change
Did you know? Random feminist fact
Anti-Porn
Porn tells lies about women

For those who want to join the feminist stickering group, you can pick up some special sticker paper at Rymans, though it's quite expensive at around seven pounds. I might try Stationary Box instead. Microsoft Word has lots of templates to fit American Avery stickers, but just match them up against the English versions on the Adhesively Unchallenged website.
Happy stickering!
P.S I was think of maybe including this blog address in small print on the stickers to generate publicity, but I'm thinking now that it might be too much. Might have to build up to it.
Over and out feministas xx

Ace slogans, I will definitely be using some of them - my slogan writing ability in no way matches my stealth stickering ability *sigh*
I'm looking at getting somewhere I can put resources up. But until then, if you would like any of my feminist slogan sticker templates, just email me and I'll send them to you.
