Double Word Score in PC Guardian Scrabble

What's PC Guardian Scrabble, I hear you ask? It's a little game I've invented re the nature of the articles on CiF and the progressive Left's obsession with the "rainbow coalition" (viz, the idea that there isn't a single problem on the planet that can't be blamed on white, middle-aged, middle-class, heterosexual men). Y'know, like the fact that we have a Minister for Women but no Minister for Men, and there aren't any Straight Pride parades where heterosexual people get to have a march to celebrate their particular preferences in the sack.

These remarks are NOT to be taken as a criticism of gay people at all by me (some of my best friends etc...) - but sexuality isn't the be-all and end-all of who people are. Don't gay people have an interest in safe streets, low taxes, public services in the same way as anybody else? It's similar to our 1980s slogan "Labour say he's black, we say he's British" - let's focus on what we have in common rather tha go down the road of all this tedious, Balkanised identity politics so beloved of the Left.

Anyway, getting back to the topic... have a look at this piece by Ruth Bond, the chair (a talking chair? Very clever. Looks more like a human than a chair to me. I dunno... maybe people sit on her a lot) of the National Federation of Women's Institutes.

In it she whines... whoops, opines, that wonderful though the Green movement is, it's too heavily dominated by men. That gets a double word score in PC Guardian Scrabble as:

1. it's about eco wackery
2. it's a 1970s feminist whinge about "male domination"

Unless Ruth the Talking Chair is perhaps transgendered, in which case it's a triple score.

I do love this quote though:

From Britain's environment ministers, past and present, to prominent campaigners
such as Jonathan Porritt or George Monbiot, global converts such as Al Gore, and the panoply of climate change negotiators from Kyoto to Copenhagen, men are dominating this debate.

Well, lucky, lucky us (PS Right Ranter is a man!) - with company like that, if women have any sense they'll steer well clear!

Seriously though, the Suffragettes fought for what they believed in. Is this where feminism has got to these days? Having a whine in the newspaper? Good luck to you.
