The Labour WAGs: The Blair Babes who became the Women Against Gordon

Article here. Excerpt:

"And of course never forget that behind this great female mutiny is the fact that one person in the Labour Party likely to benefit from Brown's downfall is Harriet Harman - perhaps Labour's greatest busybody social engineer.

It was Harman who helped inspire New Labour's politically correct, pro-women agenda which resulted in a series of new laws of social engineering.

Her particular obsessions were women's rights, equality bills and campaign for a new 'social order'. However, her key triumph, the Equalities Bill, was condemned by many, not least because it harked back to many of the right-on, class and gender-war issues of the bad old days of the 1980s Labour wilderness.

Public-sector job applicants to be vetted on their class background; gender pay audits; freedom of breastfeeding. Business leaders, already facing a ruinous slump, threw up their hands in despair.

Almost two decades ago, Harman was a co-author (along with Patricia Hewitt) of a controversial social policy pamphlet called The Family Way. It was described by the battered wives campaigner Erin Pizzey as a 'staggering attack on men and their role in modern life'."
