Queen Elizabeth II: All-women shortlist for political parties fine until 2030 in UK

Submitted by Disembodied_Voice on Wed, 2008-12-03 16:34

Article here. Excerpt:

'"My government is committed to helping families and businesses through difficult times."

Bills in the Queen's Speech include:
...
Equality Bill: for England, Wales and Scotland - Aims to streamline laws on sex, race and religious discrimination, improve enforcement and allow political parties to use all-women shortlists until 2030.'

This will give political parties the power to put forward all-female candidates to run in elections at the exclusion of men for another 22 years.

I know there's a few guys affiliated with MANN who are English. I'm not trying to be rude, but I was wondering, what percentage of men do you think are aware of the fascist attempt to feminize your society? Not just this 'draw dropping' article, but a noticeable feminist affect on everyday life. It seems things might be worse in England than here in the States.

I think this is a pathetic attempt at so-called equality. To allow political parties to exclude males as politicians to try to rectify the fact that women couldn't run for office a long long time ago makes as much sense as to make whites become the slaves of blacks as reparation for the slavery that took place in the 17 and 1800s. To invert what happened isn't just. It's hypocritical.

Well Anthony I am British. I think at a low level men are aware of what is happening. But this is far short of resistance. There is grumbling but it is rather of a resigned quality of just putting up with it.

I would also say that its not really 'an attempt'. The process is well advanced and shows no signs of decelerating.
