Conservatives dont do quotas on gender that's labour.
As for the US ambassador seems she just wants to go back to private industry for the kids college tuition and trump is happy to have her back should she ever change her mind

Yup. Definitely sexist and oppressive. Saying he's sorry to lose her and she's welcome back anytime in a role of her choosing.
Trump says many stupid things but this really isn't one of them.

I always have a little chuckle to myself when Labour start trying to fill quotas while the Conservatives have already had two female prime ministers without needing quotas.

Plus one robot, and lizard people in the roles of PM and Chancellor at the same time #diversity.
Tbh it explains the female Labour politicians.
ANYONE who takes a job that they knowingly got purely because of thier gender is gonna be **** at it.
They have no sense of pride or self respect. Anyone decent will turn it down so you're left with the dross like Abbot, who then poisons the well as she makes all women look bad. Meaning less get hired based on merit because of negative opinions of them and the only ones comming in are the **** quota ones

Looking a lot better for good old Harvey now the main case against him has folded like a pack of cards without even going to trial 
That Brafman is hot!
"The fallen mogul’s more upbeat demeanour suited the outcome of the day. Judge James Burke dismissed one of the six counts against him after the Manhattan D.A. agreed to drop it, and also pushed a key ruling to December, giving the defence more time to fight the charges.
The ditched sexual assault count stemmed from allegations by Lucia Evans, who told the New Yorker a year ago that Weinstein forced her to perform oral sex in his office in 2004. At the time, Evans was a 21-year-old student and aspiring actress.
Weinstein’s legal team will have until November 16 to file further motions attacking the remaining charges against him. The judge called a hearing for December 20, when he is expected to rule on those motions, meaning the flagship trial of the #MeToo era will not see serious courtroom action until well into 2019, if indeed it does proceed to trial.
Weinstein’s lawyer Benjamin Brafman maintained the jettisoned count is a sign the entire case is built on a weak foundation, one he and the legal team intend to spend the next several weeks undermining. “Some of the most vocal, outspoken critics of Mr. Weinstein have put their opinions into the media” without a legitimate legal claim, he argued. Although Brafman said he has “great respect” for the D.A.’s office, “I have deep regret that the thoroughness of the investigation did not prevent them from charging Mr. Weinstein with a crime he did not commit.”

"Good old Harvey"
What are his positive traits and actions you like so much?

Good Jewish director, making a robust defence against almost certainly many specious accusations by bimbos donkey's years after the alleged "assaults". I feel very sorry for a lot of these men who are now put in life changing predicaments due to a sudden surge in claimed morality by the once immoral, who have jumped upon a bandwagon with no care as to the changing mores since time long passed. I wish him well, and hope he gives them some grief in court. When there are umpteen photographs of claimants draped around Harvey's bull like neck long after the alleged assaults, smiling coquettishly it begs the question why did they continue to paw him and socialise with him after such "terrible experiences"?

Because not doing so would have been career suicide?
Also, "bull like neck?" you have clearly seen photographs of the man I've not been privy to, and I worry your admiration of Harvey is slipping from "I wish I was him" to "I wish I was with him". I say worry because he has a reputation for being a bit handsy and I fear for your reputation as a flower of unimpeachable virtue, stay strong Pamela.
And for the record he's a producer and financier rather than a director.

Career suicide = I will prostitute my body for money and fame, setting aside any morality concerns for perceived glamour and the possible furtherance of a tacky career, in many of these cases. Then years later a trend has them join the sisterhood in suddenly claiming to having had their lives ruined by something they managed to happily conceal and put aside for decades, if indeed it bothered them or occurred at all.
Some footage of Harvey - woman turns up for a meeting with a marketing team but instead gets the fat slob himself, who locks the door and is totally inappropriate/creepy during the meeting.
Granted she's not really helping things with the flirting, like he asks if it is OK to flirt and she says "a little bit" etc.. and then she flirts too, not that that should excuse whatever happened later on(allegedly).

Slightly off the current direction of this topic, I was watching Peter Kay's comedy shuffle earlier this week. One clip showed him clambering over the railing back onto the stage after having been messing around with the audience. A number of women in the front row made a grab for his backside, with one having two attempts before she actually managed to 'cop a feel'. Peter of course took no notice, but I wonder why the BBC was okay with showing this group sexual assault on one of our finest entertainers?

Because there are inherent double standards about this stuff... the average bloke likely doesn't care at all about someone grabbing his arse.
There is still the notion that women are fragile and need to be protected, which is in some contexts seen as a rather mysogynistic position to take but in other situations is welcomed.

What a ****.

Yea, some MP just popped a cap in Philip Greens character. The burden of proof really is redundant now.

Oh come on! They could have at least kept it secret for a day or two so we could have a good guess at who it was.
