@lm_french @5050Parliament See, you focus on their identities, if they are male or female. I focus on their ideals, visions and policies
@NotaTypicalTory @5050Parliament it must be nice to not have to worry about the unconscious bias against you
@lm_french @5050Parliament must be hell to believe there is an imaginary global patriarchy trying to keep you downpic.twitter.com/q0jywFt4eY
@NotaTypicalTory @5050Parliament if the stats backed you up, then fine. But they don't - if there was no reason, we would see 50/50(ish)
@lm_french @5050Parliament Yet every year the percentage gets more and more equitable
I want competent MPs, you just seem to want female 1s
@NotaTypicalTory Women make competent MPs. They have a wide range of relevant experience & skills 50% graduates & 60% law grads @wlm_french
@5050Parliament I can't help but feel that this tweet was trying to suggest I was making out that women couldn't be competent MPs
@NotaTypicalTory both men & women make competent MPs but their life experiences tend to be different & Parliament needs to draw upon both
@lm_french @5050Parliament I will vote for her in the leadership if it ever happens, because I adore her charisma and views, not her gender
