Mate, you clearly don't know your history if you think that TwoXX on Reddit was happy about being made default.

"Female" as an adjective isn't the problem. The problem is "female" as a noun.

You can describe a person as being female all you like, but if you start calling them "a female" & defined purely in terms of the existence of their sex organs, you're in the wrong.

Yes, I've seen the screenshot. Eh. It's a gross post, and apparently OP acted like twat; I won't lose sleep over it not getting attention.

All the top posts on r/askwomennocensor seem to be women complaining about how the sub is overrun with men asking for dating tips, with the mods stating in a thread 16 days ago:

We remove a thing, and suddenly we get called fascist, tyrant, "chronically online," etc., and members wildly upvote those public callouts.

Yall gotta decide if yall want "fascist tyrants" or to be plagued with inane incel questions. We remove a dating question? "Tyrants!" We let it go? "Why is this sub so trashy?"

As one redditor notes:

I know this sub was created because the other asksubs have so many rules. But this is unfortunately one of the reasons why so many rules exist.

A lot of damage has already been done in terms of brain drain to the continent. I never got the impression that the Brexit gang understood it isn't just about money; it's about the ease of collaboration. As if British research, unique among the world, didn't derive benefit from collaboration.

Correct. Well, not all the work week. One person will sleep in it Monday-Thursday. Maybe Friday if it's a heavy one.

ETA: Rest of the family will be living in a separate house outside the Home Counties where the schools are better.

They increase the overall cost of both buying and renting a property within that market, and are a nuisance for existing residents.

Historically -- in the UK, at least -- the market equilibrium has been that the rich own all the property and the poor pay rent until they die, aware that they can be served an eviction notice at any time.

This has not proven to be a popular policy. In 1918 all British men, regardless of whether they owned property or not, got the vote, and since then politicians have found it useful to not have the majority of voters perpetually furious about it.
