An ageist (“older”), racist (“white”), sexist (“men”) piece in The Guardian. It includes a tweet from Michael Fabricant, a Tory MP:
So, it seems ok to talk about government ministers who are “male, pale, and stale”. What would be the outcry if we talked about “female, pale, and stale”????#Manpower
He should, of course, have ended his tweet with “female, black, and young”.
Justice for Men & Boys 
Sadly, allowing women into leadership roles and decision making has resulted in complete farce of a democracy. Now it is time to openly admit it and end the pretense that all is well.

As I recall neither Mrs Thatcher nor the likes of Barbara Castle were “allowed in” they pushed in. However the crop of “all women selection list for a safe seat” women in Parliament appear to be doing reasonably well at looking pretty useless from “flounce off in a huff” Greening, to our favourite “rent a Gob” and “can’t add up” former Corbyn mistress generally doing a good job of demolishing the myth that “women bring something better” to politics.
Hopefully “pestminister” has persuaded at least some of the white knights that non of them are safe or can trust their female colleagues.

Doesn’t Fabricant mean “female, whale and fail”?
