What I want to know is what about the UK produces so many TERFs, is it just an inherent flaw of the Anglo psyche or is there something deeper going on

The inherent class system in the UK and lack of cross pollination between the white bougie driving force behind second wave feminism and POC meant that there was never any need for them to deal with intersectional feminism. Feminists in the UK are fighting for peerages to get passed down to daughters rather than trying to improve things for POC or trans* people.

Obviously this isn't universal but there is a huge blind spot in the people pushing the message about feminism in the UK. Rather than having introspection they huff farts. It's also probably a lot easier for them to find someone who is fash in their social circles than someone who is a minority so you they're able to relate and cross pollinate messages.

It's also, I think, just due to how well TERFism spread on mumsnet in particular. Because it's a forum all the people on it are at least passably Online, worryingly dedicated to their stupid cause, and likely to come up in threads like these as a result. I doubt the percentage of TERFism (however you'd want to measure it) in the US and UK are all that different, it's just that US TERFs are less online as a whole. they're busy making GBS threads up the PTO meeting or asking for the manager at Chipotle because they have a gender neutral bathroom.

After years of dancing around it on the show, Joanna Lumley has revealed that Absolutely Fabulous' Patsy Stone is transgender.

The Absolutely Fabulous star - who plays the fashion editor in the sitcom and its upcoming big screen adventure - was discussing the comedy's relationship with the LGBT community when she made the revealed.

"You go back and pick through it, the amount of gay references and ease with which it's been put into the story, without it being dragged along like a great log of plot," she told V magazine.

"It's really normal that one of Edina's ex-husbands now lives with his young boyfriend. It's completely normal that Edina wants Saffy to be a lesbian or that Serge is gay and living in New York.

"It's completely normal that Patsy is transgender."

The show's creator and writer, Jennifer Saunders added that she's really glad the show is beloved by the community because she's tried for years to make it offensive as possible.

"We tried very hard but they refused to be offended - and I admire them for that," she added. "Thank God you're hanging on in there."

I’d say it’s more like 50/50, the only homework I actually found helpful was practicing math (which admittedly sucks poo poo) and reading with guided questions (mostly in English, sometimes history, and rarely science)

it is kinda weird that we consider bringing your work home with you every day to be unhealthy and a sign of poor boundaries yet we expect every child to do that exact thing for like 12 years straight and if they dont comply we cut them off from future opportunities

When a tree grows, it is soft and pliable. But when it's dry and hard, it dies.

Hardness and strength are death's companions. Flexibility and softness are the embodiment of life.

That which has become hard shall not triumph.

excuse me what

constant velocity joints, they're what sends power to the drive wheels in your-probably-front wheel drive car, and when they start to go can make clicking noises like you describe



If you look under your car and the rubber boots are tore open you should get it to a mechanic as that CV joint needs replacing; if the boots are intact it can still be the CV

if a CV joint fails entirely the wheel won't fall off but it will disable your car

it can also be a bunch of other things, CV just sounds most likely

lol CV joints are rad as hell because they loudly announce to all around that the person in the clicky car can't fuckin drive

Common causes of clicking while driving. Could be something wrong with your suspension, or with the constant velocity (CV) joints. Could be something else!

A quick google brought up this guide, which I skimmed and it seems fine for doing some basic diagnostic work on your own if you don't want to take it in to a mechanic. Hope it helps!
