"the feminisation of the language of political discourse"

Archbishop Cranmer has a nice article about the feminisation of British politics and decries the creation of
"‘Department of Energy and Climate Change’, neutering the virility of potency with the gynogenesis of Mother Earth."
The Archbishop has some ideas for future soft renamings which appealed to me:
"Will the Home Secretary become the Secretary of State for Domestic and Social Affairs?

Will the Department of Health become the Department of Illnesses, Ailments, Obesity and Clinical Depression?

Why not change the Department of Justice to the Department for Healing and Restoration?

The Department for Defence to the Department for Conflict Resolution?

Or the Department of the Environment to the Department of Rivers, Fields, Flowers and Trees?"
