UK: Macho, macho men: Labour have no right to talk about the "crisis in masculinity"

Article here. Excerpt:

'When Diane Abbott asserts that Britain is facing a "crisis of masculinity," she is barking up the wrong trouser leg.

The Labour MP says that rapid economic change is perverting men and boys and encouraging homophobia, misogyny and machismo.

Is Diane really naive enough to suggest that recession is producing a generation of brutes? Will British manhood be restored to its former strong-shafted glory if we vote for Ed Miliband?

Diane's thesis is a load of tribal, Labour-promoting tosh. Modern men have their problems but they have less to do with rapid economic change and more to do with social shifts and technological advances.'
