This post is funny, but it just shows a fundamental misunderstanding of the history of feminine labor and craft.
Spinsters dismantled the Spinning Jenny by hand. Suffragettes used acid and bombs to attack politicians. Militant textile workers went on strike by the tens of thousands.

The Venn Diagram of protestors today who would count as hardcore antifa that are ready to take up arms for the revolution and people whose primary hobby is quilting would be interesting to see.

This is what comes
of being a governess.
Forced to sit with the
spinsters.
Cast out from society.
Hardly.
It's only the other end
of the table.

"Antoine Ifa founded the group in 1899 as a social club for adorable street urchins and lonely spinsters. Its members called themselves AntIfa in his honor. In the ensuing decades, the middle vowel was changed to a lower case." *

Sorry but any politician waxing lyrical about cricket pitches, village greens, milkmaids, cycling spinsters or whistling bin men, clearly grew up in Trumpton

Went to see a Dolmen made for me, The Spinsters Stone.
Sadly, again, despite my pleas to the eldritch, I am still a Spinster and have not been spirited away. Such a bother.

I also like the word. I think bc I know the history of some women who were called spinsters and they were awesome women. Also it’s supposed to be a patriarchal insult that I think we need to take back.

On this date last year, I wrote about Joan Donovan and her three novels about misfit spinsters. O'Donovan's own life was equally misfit-y: a long affair with the Irish writer Frank O’Connor (while he was still married), a son by him, and years of hard scrabbling.

Voting with your dollars is one of your citizen super powers. It’s why my friends and I launched Spinsters Row so we can purchase gifts and items for our homes without funding Amazon or other providers we don’t support.

Free idea: Bagged salads, but they’re split into two servings so spinsters like myself can more easily save half for later instead of eating one enormous salad

Nosey little old spinsters have a higher accuracy rate in hunting down perpetrators than cops do.

Did you know?
In the Victorian era, “spinsters” were often mocked as pitiable old maids—but in reality, many were pioneers of independence.
These unmarried women built livelihoods as teachers, writers, and reformers, forming the backbone of early feminist movements.

And if I may suggest my own Miss Boston and Miss Hargreaves, two women who were very happy to let those around them think they were spinsters. See pinned thread

Many could have been neurodivergent instead. Perhaps “spinsters” and “confirmed bachelors” were catch-all terms for those folks who did not easily fit society’s norms for multiple different reasons.

And if they still want to ban a book from library after reading and book report THEY MUST prove they have a child of appropriate age.
