@PCollinsTimes isn’t having a Minister for Women by default an inequality unless they have a Minister for Men issues too?

FYI, guys, the reason there’s no minister for men is because when the Queen goes to visit Number 10 she can nearly double the total number of women in the room:

But hey, look – maybe when an election produces a cabinet with a gender divide that’s just as unequal in the opposite direction, and then we put up with decades (maybe even centuries) of women crowding men out of major political, financial, business and cultural institutions, then we might take a look at bringing in a minister for men. Maybe.
