if one look at the names of intellectuals who make up even very recent UK feminist campaigns - No More Page Three in 2012 (which succeeded), the consultation on Nordic model prohibition of sex work around 2015ish (which did not) - one finds many institutionally-linked feminists on the TERF side of the ravine these are activists whose full-time careers are being an activist/consultant/writer/advisor/etc. - they have a great deal of time to expend on campaigns like this, and their influence can be quietly pervasive (by e.g. writing template codes of conduct) their counter-campaign is mobilising relatively late... back in the mid 2015s there was already an establishment consensus on the inevitability of self-ID; when the Women and Equalities Select Committee issued its report in 2016 the expectation was of a quiet nod-through, somewhat like gay marriage, with the bulk of opposition coming from the Tory flank (the mirror image of hippie-punching for credibility. Wingnut-punching? Swivel-eye-punching? You tell me). There's a trans community of civil-social groups and activists who would have applauded whatever went through. Ministers did not expect a swathe of feminists to flip out as they have proceeded to do in the polling self-ID does not do well and bringing this question "to the people" dooms the push for self-ID... I wouldn't expect much actual movement in policy but a great deal of public sound and fury seems likely given the incentives

There was a movement of some esteemed gynecologists including Elsimar Coutinho, the pioneer of depo provera, young urban professional businesswomen, and whatever you'd call the generation of feminists that were in their late teens and early 20s in '98-01 that we can finally get rid of menstruation as a medical lifestyle choice and this would be very liberating for women and reduce the risk of breast and ovarian cancers and it'll come in a spray and this is all very exciting. This sounds a lot like the rationale for having a placebo week in the pill, as per this explanation: quote:John Rock, the gynecologist who helped develop the birth control pill and a devout Catholic, created the break because he hoped the Pope would approve, professor John Guillebaud told the Telegraph.

Even before I realised I was a tran this particular strain of feminism was so loving frustrating to me! There was a period (har) from when I was 12 until I was 16 or so where I got menstrual migraines every month and it was loving miserable. It's a really bizarre contradiction where they'll tell trans women they can't know women's suffering because they don't bleed but then anything that might lessen that suffering is also bad. gently caress 'em, in short.

The biggest irony is that it's the RadFems who started off on the fight for birth control and safe access to abortion who are now in the same place as the TradCaths on trans rights and menstrual suppression and don't see that as a warning sign.Cerv posted:undoubtably

It didn't all go terribly for the Greer second-wave wing over time; in some ways today's feminism synthesizes some elements from the second and third waves both the early part of the tens featured campaigns that both camps could broadly agree on - remember SlutWalk, catcalling, manspreading, etc. - all extremely gendered in nature. The underlying tension was never quite addressed though

So, in a new [topic]chat, it turns out that with all this extra time at home, i've come to realise that the TV in my living room isn't the right size for how we're using it. We're basically sitting too far away (or my eyes are getting worse) and the furniture we've got doesn't really work well for shifting things about to put us closer to it (either we or the TV would sit in the middle of the room). I'm seeing 70"+ TV's for the same price i paid for my current one back when i got it about 8 years ago so i figure i might as well make the jump to something ridiclous and stop straining to read things for the next 8 years. My question, where the gently caress do i go in the UK to get a decent priced TV stand for something that big? Everywhere i look seems to want like £200+ for what's essentially a hollow wooden box with a couple of shelves in it. Kin fucked around with this message at 15:20 on Jun 7, 2020 |

My stand is Argos flatpack, but it's for a much smaller set than that (but an oldish plasma so probably about the weight of a new 70" LED). For something that size you might want to look at VESA brackets with some kind of pole mount, then put a normal shelving box in front of the pole stand, depending on what other media stuff you've got and how your room is arranged.

You might be out of luck there. For a TV that bulky you're going to need something well made out of actual wood rather than Ikea chipboard, and real furniture is expensive, basically. e: That said, this one is going for £125 currently: https://www.wayfair.co.uk/furniture/pdp/brayden-studio-gemini-tv-stand-mvox1665.html?piid=25294174 Doctor_Fruitbat fucked around with this message at 15:35 on Jun 7, 2020 |

Guavanaut posted:It's a very new law and I've no idea what kind of precedents have been set based on it. It does contain the line "B is under 16 and A does not reasonably believe that B is 16 or over" which does imply the necessary existence of a child even for the messaging only offence. Picking up this up from yesterday because it's one of the best bits of criminal law there is - even if the offence cannot be complete without an actual child being involved somehow, you can certainly attempt the offence if you have the necessary mens rea; it's a long-held principle that you can attempt the impossible. A pickpocket who dips his hand into your empty pocket commits attempted theft even though there's nothing there to steal; a man who gives you talcum powder while believing it's cocaine has attempted to supply drugs; a man who hits your corpse in the head, believing you to still be alive, and intending to kill you, commits attempted murder even though the victim is already dead.

I dunno, I've got Kallax units from Ikea that are full of books and even the individual shelves ain't bending. I think you'd be fine sticking a TV on there (mine's on one, though I don't think it's 70" plus) and the shelves are handy for storing your DVDs and Playstation.

That makes some sense. So the attempt to meet up with a 13 year old was there even if the child wasn't.
