Is the 'old boys' network dead?
' Theresa May will sack Cabinet ministers if they are proven to be sex pests, the Telegraph understands, as a rapidly growing list of MPs accused of harassment circulated in Westminster.
The Prime Minister wrote to Commons Speaker John Bercow yesterday demanding tough new rules to govern MPs’ behaviour, saying the problem “cannot be tolerated any longer”.
It was claimed Conservative party staff have complied a list of 36 current Tory MPs against whom allegations of inappropriate behaviour have been made, including having affairs with junior colleagues, being "handsy" with women and using prostitutes.
Mrs May also asked the Cabinet Office to investigate the conduct of international trade minister Mark Garnier, who admitted calling his secretary “sugar t**s” and sending her to buy sex toys for him.'

Why do you only express enough interest in sexist attitudes when it involves the Tory government. You seem quite happy to brush aside or conveniently ignore appalling sexist attitudes by minority groups but suddenly get all fired up when it involves the Tories.
Sounds more like a Political interest and an attempt to attack May and her government than a genuine concern regarding sexist attitudes. Serious as all sexism is it seems to me that the sexism you are talking about doesn’t have as severe an impact on womens’ lives as such attitudes from certain religious groups do.
