Good for you, Ruby Wax!

I hope many GN members will participate in this day of action against violence to women - date for your diaries now - 14 Feb, 2013.

Yes good for you Ruby.

Its in my diary Jess

I watched the video and then followed the link to 1 billion rising

It made me weep for all women and my 2 lovely DiLs and my 2 beautiful GDs.
I can empathise with Ruby Wax. My father was a bully and my ex husband was a bully and my mother only loved her sons.
Why are men so frightened of women that they have to destroy them?
I will dance on Feb 14th next year and I will dance with my GDs.

All Gn should dance on the 14th, even if your lucky and have not had a bully in your life stand strong for those that have.

Me too - Ruby is a bit um, peculiar, but she's kind of grown on me. Reminds me of the Maya Angelou poem Still We Rise this campaign.

Much respect, Ruby Wax! I will join in, too. It's immaterial whether women have been bullied or not, for this cause. We should all stand shoulder to shoulder to end male bullying

Well said, glass.

Yes, I'll second that, and will dance for others.

I will dance for Katy....my darling daughter

You do all realise that you have to go out in the street and BE SEEN doing this dancing? (Round the kitchen table will not cut it) (Or by a lonely lochside Bags, lovely as that image may be )

And most of the passers by will not know why the flip you are doing it?

(my speakers seem to have packed in so I don't know if Ruby tells you where to go to dance. I tried lip reading. No good.)

Oh J - good to have you back from your hols.

nellie it never goes away does it? X

No nanad but I know she will be dancing around the kitchen with me ,because that is what we always did,and sometimes we had been known to break into a dance in Asda before it came fashionable to be in a flash mob...happy days

Littlenell - + [hug]

A day or moment of dance captures many memories.

w ell said ruby,i to will dance in the street with my 3 beautiful GDS if any man is found to have hurt them i will not be accountable for my actions! i have been there, and will never go there again x

I've never forgotten a moment in time when I saw a mum and her little girl - about ten I suppose - skipping along in a Littlewoods store, singing a song. Something about "..... Jesus in the morning".

They looked so happy.

Dance on the bubble wrap – it's so much fun.

What about that bubblewrap with huge 'bubbles' that they use to pad out parcels. That is scary stuff to jump on.

In my diary too.
