Harriet Harman sexist?

I see that Harriet Harman has done it again, she's opened her mouth and poured out a stream of rubbish. Apparently she has demanded that one of Labour’s two top posts should always be held by a woman — because "Men cannot be left to run things on their own. I think it’s a thoroughly bad thing to have a men-only leadership." It is claimed that Harriet Harman, Labour’s deputy leader, secretly tried to change Labour party rules two years ago to ensure that it could never again be led by an all-male team, but she was foiled by the party hierarchy. Harriet Harman added "I don’t agree with all-male leaderships".

Some questions for the doughty feminist? Do you believe in all female leaderships? Do you believe that women can be left to run things on their own? Is your opposition to an all male leadership anything to do with you feeling threatened by Peter Mandelson's position at the right hand of Gordon Brown? Jacqui Straw, Ruth Kelly, Margaret Beckett, Patricia Hewitt, Yvette Cooper, Patricia Hodge, Tessa Jowell? Which of those female Labour ministers do you think was held back from high office by virtue of her sex? Which of them became ministers at least partially because of their sex?

What is this idiocy? Ideally, the country should be run by neither an all male team or an all female team... Don't you see that there is a great deal of sense in that? Bloody donkey.
