PC BS Misandry: Female UK Conservative MPs 2.35 Times More Likely To Be Given Cabinet Posts Than Their Male Colleagues

By Mike Buchanan: 47 of the current 331 Conservative MPs (14.2%) are women. Dave has just given a third of cabinet positions to women, thereby meeting his longstanding target – which only begs the obvious question:
If these women have been appointed on merit, why was there a need for a target?

Where next? A gender-balanced cabinet, as introduced by President Francois Hollande in France? That’s been a roaring success…
A female Conservative MP is 2.35 times more likely than her male colleagues to be given a cabinet position, on the grounds of gender alone. Gender equality is a fine thing. There must be numerous male Conservative MPs denied a cabinet position solely on the grounds of their gender. Not one has said a word about the matter.
