Talk:One Billion Rising

Maine did it!
Oh it was so cute......and I know better than to call women "cute". But it was so cute in Maine. We are such a strange little state--I don't think we have more than a handful of buildings over four or five stories tall--if that. But the "ladies" danced! Yes they did! If the Augusta or Bangor news have a story I'll put it in. The Portland TV news that I was watching ran a nice piece on it. It was fun. Gandydancer (talk) 00:21, 15 February 2013 (UTC)
 * I'm very pleased (and surprised) to hear that. Looking at the page hits, I thought it would be a wash-out. Nothing happened over here. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 00:41, 15 February 2013 (UTC)


 * I was going to add some large and small happenings but perhaps that is just what I like to see while others are more interested in a more informative presentation. Anyway, good work Anna.  I work on the India rape/murder article and it was good to be able to link to this article.  Her statements re India on Democracy Now were really perfect for that article as there have been arguments that have resulted in hurt feelings about a perceived effort to paint non-Anglo men as rapist beasts, etc. It was nice that I could post on that article that India is leading the way.  Indian people do read that article and work on it as well, but one can tell that most of them are not regular editors. Anna, are you British?  Gandydancer (talk) 15:54, 17 February 2013 (UTC)


 * Hi Gandydancer. Nice bumping into you here. I'm a bit disappointed that others didn't add content about the happenings. Pleased that you linked this article. I agree with you about the Democracy Now! interview. That news site is a great source for new articles. It covers so many stories that big power and their corp. news PR media outlets won't allow the public to know about. And yes, I was born in London, but grew up in Montreal. Anyway, I wish the dancing part was left out of the movement. I think there are so many cultures where that would be inappropriate or uncomfortable as a public display. Maybe she should have chosen something else. Now, I would love to dig up some stats on event sizes and locations. I will dig. Best wishes, 01:33, 18 February 2013 (UTC)Anna Frodesiak (talk)
