Looking at what happened at the Conservative conference last week, I was looking to see if there was anything as remotely anti-male as the usual stuff we get at a labour conference and the expected diatribe at the Lib dem conference.
There was the usual guff about needing more women in power by discriminating against men through A-lists, gender quotas and otehr artificial selection criteria favoured by the Conservatives. Obviously with articles like this from Jenni Rusell, it just keeps the anti-male momentum going.
Theresa May, the Home Secretary and Minister for Women didn't even mention the latter brief ion her speech.
One speech worth reviewing was Michael Gove's, the education secretary. Considering how far boys are behind girls you would feel there would be a section in the speech dedicated to dealing with this issue. Switch the genders and you would expect it.
But there was absolutely nothing on the subject expect for a bit of father-bashing: . "That's why we should emphasise that the most important job that any man can have is being a father. And that your responsibility to your child is life long. If you were there at your child's conception, you should be there for the rest of their life."
Some of the policies on discipline, increasing rigour and less emphasis on continual assessment, will bring some balance back to boys,
So the Liberal Democrat conference went in for grotesque man bashing and wanting to join Labour and the Conservatives in not wanting men in Parliament, Labour just banned men altogether and the Conservatives just ignore their problems altogether.
