There are generally many more men in politics than women. There has been a boys club in politics for centuries and its a slow process to achieve cultural change.
AB responded to a specific question and answered he will not tolerate anybody (male or female) seeking to brief against another if elected PM. In my book his answer to that question was positive.
If he's elected as PM, as we all expect in a few weeks, he will be saying a lot of things and they will be reported in the media with a variety of spins.
AB will continue to have supporters and detractors. Spin from detractors will continue to be negative, ie AB 'will say anything, or do anything to look good and curry favour for a sound byte" Well the press are all over reporting about him so AB seeking a sound byte is spin. But the facts - either way are a much better arbiter than spin- and it for us as individuals to discern the difference.
I'm sure we will continue to see many more posts with such views whilst others will have a different view. Twas ever thus in politics ๐
