It’s amazing how fast everything is collapsing as the worst people in the world keep making the worst choices at the worst moments. There’s no way the climate crisis doesn’t go nuclear if this is what western leadership is.

had a chicken salad sandwich from sainsbury's for lunch. loads of chicken, easily an extra 50% over the last few times I've had one and the others on the shelf were the same, but really skimping on the lettuce and cucumber. loving brexit.

for all of the non-brits reading the stuff that rosie duffield is protesting is all enshrined in UK law from the equalities act the last labour government implemented. Its extremely loving dangerous considering how the current government are that the party haven't slapped her down for this considering there have been outstanding complaints for over a year about stuff she's posted on twitter

another thing is that in the 80s the left were standing up for gay rights against things like section 28 and the labour leader Kinnock got incredibly homophobic when bashing them and the movement to repeal section 28. Starmer really is speed running being Kinnock except even more pathetic

Mr. Lobe posted:Why is that, though? Leaded petrol & lead water pipes? hosed if I know. I suspect part of it could be that someone like Germaine Greer is an influential figure for feminists of a certain vintage & as early as 1989 she was describing a transwoman as “a gross parody of my sex.” Add to that, Britain's media punditocracy is pretty small & incestuous; they almost all seem to know and socialise together, even the ones who hate each other apparently. And so I guess if one domino falls like Julie Bindel then she takes more with her, especially when they see their friend being called a bigot and she couldn't be a bigot because she's my friend. I dunno, I'm leaning towards lead poisoning

I've seen talk about how britain never had a 3rd wave of race-inclusive feminism like America did so there's no practice with intersectionality and so the institutions are still all just middle class white women.

Mr. Lobe posted:Why is that, though? My own theory is basically that it's from a faction of their wave of feminism, a faction who were basically gender separatists. In reaction to a really lovely patriarchal world they doubled down on the idea of being a woman as its own, totally separate thing, almost a different species. This manifested as all kinds of things, political lesbianism, wicca, new age stuff. As a way of living life and finding a self identity that doesn't spring from male ideology. In this view the two sexes are scientifically and spiritually separate. If you go a certain way with it you end up basically massively reinforcing and embracing the separation of the sexes that we recognise from right wing social conservatism. The idea that a man can become a woman is totally anathema to this ideology since its all based around the essential, divine, fact of biological sex. When confronted with the fact of intersex or trans people or women who don't menstruate, they either change their long held beliefs or just double down endlessly into madness. That's my theory at least, based mainly on the things they say and how it maps with what me Ma tells me about her life growing up amongst educated women in the feminist movement during the "sex wars". I told her really early on that she couldn't become a terf and that headed her off at the pass thankfully. But it still pops up now and again like she told me recently that she didn't believe men could be feminists, despite raising me as a feminist my entire life and me arguing the case of feminism with other men and women for as far back as I can remember. E: it's over represented cause it was popular among university educated women back then, and theyr all boomers now who hold all the positions of influence.

gonadic io posted:I've seen talk about how britain never had a 3rd wave of race-inclusive feminism like America did so there's no practice with intersectionality and so the institutions are still all just middle class white women. There's truth to that. Britain is a really white country. In 2011 86.4% of the population identified as white in the census. 7.2% Asian, 3.1% Black. And if you excluded London from those numbers it'd be even more pasty and sunburnt. Growing up in Northern Scotland, you were diverse if you were English, never mind non-white. I think in my 6 years of High School there were maybe 5 to 10 kids who weren't white. Add that lack of ethnic diversity to the fact that you aren't likely to get a prominent media job if you didn't attend a fee paying school and it gets even worse as far as diversity goes. And thus yes, it's an awful lot of upper middle class people with an exceedingly limited life experience, and odds are the same can be said of their social circles. I'm always happy to blame a large part of Britain's ills on independent schools and their alumni
