UK: "Labour should not be run by two white men"

Article here. Excerpt:

'Yvette Cooper launched a scathing attack on Labour leadership front-runner Jeremy Corbyn yesterday and claimed the party should no longer be run by ‘white men’.

The Shadow Home Secretary insisted she was the ‘real radical’ and made the case to be Labour’s first woman leader – saying the party needed a ‘feminist approach to our economy and society’.

She hit out at the prospect of ‘a Labour Party after a century of championing equality and diversity which turns the clock back to be led again by a leader and deputy leader, both white men. Who’s the real radical? Jeremy or me?’

Former minister Tom Watson is widely expected to win the deputy leadership under Mr Corbyn.'

"the party needed a ‘feminist approach to our economy and society’."

Why? Why is a "feminist approach" to the U.K. economy, society and/or government needed? Why? Don't we h@ve enough gynocentrism in the U.K. as is?
In what way, possible, would a "feminist approach" make things better?
Oh, it may make things better (in some ways) for WOMEN. But, as with anything else feminism touches it will be worse for MEN. (Man Tax, anyone?) So, how is that fairness or even "equality"?
Answer; It's NOT!
Therefore the U.K. (or any other Western country) needs no "feminist approach" to this or ANYTHING else!
GOD!
This sounds SO much like something along the lines of: "the party needed a ‘NAZI approach to our economy and society’."
In fact it's nearly, if not, precisely the same difference, really.

"Former minister Tom Watson is widely expected to win the deputy leadership under Mr Corbyn.' "

Yes. This is my understanding, as well. All I can say is; 'GOOD!'
Much better than h@ving Yvette Cooper in there!
(I'm from the U.K. so these things are something I keep abreast on.)

Obviously the "Forbidden" Error thingy became an issue when I tried to post my above comments. Lol! As you can see I had to say "h@ve" and "H@ving", before it would allow me to post.
Ah, good ol' technology, eh? (^_^)
