Essentially, second-wave feminism didn't get the prolonged and necessary beating from third-wave feminism. This is what happens when you have pure, bourgeois white feminism without any pushback from queer, indigenous and POC thinkers.
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.

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.

So basically the english have too many white people? I agree with this.
It's not just a media phenomenon. UK liberals are far more transphobic than US ones
