Do you have an opinion on marriage equality, teens having botox or Prince Harry?

If so, Equal is inviting you to share your thoughts and feelings on the choices you make at a new online forum.

The Equal Choice Forum is a new online community where women can voice their opinions about a range of different topics, ranging from the frivolous to the more serious in a safe online environment.

Since launching, popular topics to get women going have included marriage equality, legal drinking age, high heels, immunising kids, climate change, botox, childbirth, hipsters, travelling, and much more.

For all topics on the Equal Choice Forum, there is a choice of voting from two differing viewpoints. There's also the option of commenting on each topic and engaging in meaningful conversations with other women.

Once your vote is cast, you can see how other women have voted on that topic.

“Having these discussions online makes it easier than ever before for women to share their opinions on the topics that matter most to them,” says media personality and commentator Deborah Thomas.

Equal has also taken the forum discussions offline with the company co-hosting a breakfast event with The Australian Women’s Weekly where 80 women and media personalities debated the hot issues discussed on the site, while guests enjoyed a delicious breakfast, including items made with the new Naturals by Equal range.

A range of topics were discussed at the event, but marriage equality was by far the most emotive topic of the day.

Leading beauty and healthy lifestyle writer and regular forum participant, Shonagh Walker said that she believed in years to come it would be an issue the nation would regret not changing laws on earlier.

“I can’t see any reason why two people who love each other and are in an honest and committed relationship can’t legalise that commitment and I feel like that in 10 to 15 years time we’re going to feel pretty silly if we don’t legalise it. It will be like saying women couldn’t vote way back when."

A spokeswoman for Equal says these are the types of issues they want discussed on the forum.

“We are thrilled to be sparking discussions on a range of topics relevant to the women of Australia,” said Danielle Ross, Senior Brand Manager, Australia & New Zealand for Merisant, the maker of Equal.

“We encourage women to get involved in the Equal Choice Forum, share their opinions, and discover what other women have to say. We hope to see it grow into a real hub of discussion and debate for women.”

As an added incentive to be part of the conversation, Equal is offering participants the chance to win 1 of 5 $1,000 prizes by signing up before 2nd December, with bonus entries for comments – the more you share, the more chances you have.
