THE FIVE RULES OF #glamtivism

-

...ACCORDING TO THE FRINGE WIVES CLUB, THE TRIO OF ALL-SINGING, ALL-DANCING COMEDIANS WHO THEIR SPREAD FEMINIST MESSAGE WITH A SIDE OF GLITTER

1.

YOU CAN HAVE A DICK, BUT DON’T BE A DICK One of our first-ever “rules” and it still holds true. Aretha said it best. It’s about respect. We want everyone at our feminist party.

2.

RESIST WITH FURY, AND LOVE Loving fiercely, passionate­ly and openly is a radical act, and we aim to bring that same fierce love and openness to all our conversati­ons, whether they be at the bar, on stage or in the bedroom.

3.

SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL GIRL GANG The Fringe Wives was built on a network of celebratin­g each other. Glamtivist­s don’t need to tear other women down in order to achieve. We shake up the ways in which women and their bodies are seen and discussed in public spaces. If we can shake up an espresso martini at the same time, so much the better!

4.

CONSENT IS THE SEXIEST WORD OF ALL There is nothing so exciting as an enthusiast­ic YES. From a lover, from the audience, from your friends, from your peers, from your allies. And then – just keep talking. Yes! Yes! Yes!

5.

A REVOLUTION WITHOUT DANCING IS A REVOLUTION NOT WORTH HAVING Paraphrase­d from one of social media’s favourite quotes, we are our own knights in shining armour – and that armour is fully sequinned for maximum disco-ball intensity.
