It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

Imagine being a billionaire and wasting your time being bigoted and obviously unhappy on Twitter. Absolutely pathetic. She could do basically anything she wants and yet chooses to spend her time making other peoples' lives worse because she is consumed by her brainworms. Could you be a bigger loser?

The UK has a major problem with boomer second wave feminists taking up most of the positions of power in old media.

Does anyone know why that is? I don't see that in other countries - not to the level of TERF island.

It's not just a media phenomenon. UK liberals are far more transphobic than US ones

A lot of civil rights movements such as the LGBT movement found allies within the unions. Academic feminists made up the majority of folks writing feminist theory. Said academics were mostly upper class and thus wouldn't be seen dead with the proles. Therefore feminist theory in the UK largely developed sans intersectionality.
