Re that last RT, we heard (I think at #WOW2012) that men are far less likely to progress past the first couple than women. Must try that! ;)

Toksvig finished with: "Remember, Ginger Rogers did everything Fred Astaire did, but backwards and in high heels." #WOW2012

Toksvig was great, btw - no pop psych, just warm humour - the ideal host. And we spotted @_Violala in orchestra from cheap seats :) #WOW2012

We're hoping Sandi Toksvig doesn't do the evolutionary psychology rubbish she did at #FEM11 at #WOW2012 later. Buy her Myth Of Mars & Venus!

Last yr's winning idea - free Mooncups for women in developing countries - is being taken forward. This year's'll now be explored! #WOW2012

…and that's also the motivation for #WOW2012 as a whole, so it's a nice conclusion to the last day of the festival! :)

Jude says popularity of idea shows people think there's no way for young people to discuss this stuff in an open, constructive way… #WOW2012

The four ideas are now going to an audience vote - and the winner is the empowerment network for young people! #WOW2012

Jude adds idea of including amount the person who made the clothes was paid; like food ingredients, "contains this economic model". #WOW2012

Quotas

Quotas again raised by the panel - a common theme throughout #WOW2012. Here's @lorihalford's WOW blog post about them: womenoftheworldfestival.wordpress.com/2012/03/10/quotas/

WOWser Rachel gets much applause for bravely presenting her idea in public forum: "You're being a great role model yourself" - Jude #WOW2012

Looking at other tweets I see this idea was meant to be called an empowerment network rather than a education programme #WOW2012
