'All too often we rush to label lack of female success or defeat by a male opponent as a sign of sexism,' adepstein1 writes

The announcement of the successful candidates in the first ballot for a new Prime Minister has been an opportunity for those with a PhD in the bleeding obvious to showcase their credentials.

adepstein1 But they were nasty enough!

adepstein1 And the men left are! That’s funniest thing I’ve read in a long time!!

adepstein1 Who is the best parent? The best at budgeting and finance?

adepstein1 Unfortunate but standby for FUTURE and many more female opportunities, as there will most definitely be!! This is the most contentious Labour & Tory political period I have ever witnessed!! and best all cleared. There will be more casualties I’m sure !!🇬🇧

adepstein1 And in any case, the vacancy is being left by a woman so hard to cry sexism...

adepstein1 Not nice labelling women as “useless”; women do grow up with the stereotype we aren’t as good as men that is the reality. Why don’t we just have a society where men work and women live rent free and the government give us an allowance?! It solves gender inequality in workplace 😂

adepstein1 It's just a shame that being crap wasn't a problem for the male candidates, too.

adepstein1 If you think the competition is tough in politics you should compete in female track and field events, when your up against competitor's with cocks and balls. Then you will know what its like for females in this twisted fluid trans what ever fucked up world. Good luck on that.

adepstein1 After the last female in Gov who was hopeless.......it’s time a man took over.

adepstein1 Regrettably, and sincerely, after theresa_may singlehanded demolition of Conservatives the female candidates EstherMcVey1 and andrealeadsom stood little chance!

adepstein1 mordaunt wiped the floor with both of them. her time will come. mcvey is an idiot - and a liar

adepstein1 adepstein1 Yes meritocracy is vitally important, agreed but there is still a default towards men. Women can and do often lead differently and gain, it seems so much more pressure is put on them. There is no straight-forward. black and white solution though.

adepstein1 adepstein1 An interesting piece I wonder too about the different stresses that women face the higher they rise, which I believe comes into place. For example: the amount of scruting that women receive over their age and their looks comparied to men so much more. T1

adepstein1 I'm female and I'm sick of the last female pm ..what a showing up. I hope we are going to have some back bone in the next one.. Nigel farage knows what he's doing, get him in.

adepstein1

adepstein1 Women dominate BBC roles now. Almost every bloody history or science documentary has some smug posh female presenting, it's getting really tedious

adepstein1 Some clown on the radio yesterday said ‘we have to look at why there isn’t a woman going into the final two’. FFS you gave us 2 female PM’s. I don’t think the Tories have a problem. Choose on ability, not sex.

adepstein1 ...just like the one leaving office...

adepstein1 Yeah, but Leadsome and McVey. I mean, there are limits

adepstein1 “We”?

adepstein1 Yeah an important point of equality is that women can be complete bell ends too.

adepstein1 I am a feminist- I don't think this decision is sexist- McVey is useless. But then so is Boris
