Why are men's concerns routinely marginalised and dismissed by influential men in the West?

11th minute: Why Wyoming granted female suffrage in 1869

It had 6000 males, and only 1000 females.

Men bribed women with votes to come live in Wyoming.

That was the snowball that started it all.

The rape of the Sabine women comes to mind.

What Lord Mandelson and I have in common

The flowers I delivered to Lord Mandelson when he was in hospital for his operation. I even received t  a thank you letter written in his fountain pen.  "Thank you for thinking of me," he wrote graciously.

"She has something of the Cardinal Richelieu about her," said a Facebook friend on 14 August 2012 at 13:20.

I know it is not quite the same as having laudatory pieces written about one by the liberal press, but it does suggest that Lord Mandelson and I may have something in common.  Lord Mandelson was the power behind the throne.  I could be the power behind the power behind the throne.

I wish Lord Mandelson to know that I would be delighted and gratified to receive a marriage proposal from him and to be his Lady Mandelson.  I understand his weakness for the stronger sex and hope he will also  understand my weakness for Facebook, and occasionally, particularly attractive, intelligent and charming members of the fairer sex.

Our marriage would make him interesting and to the media again and we could even have our own political chat show which would be so much better than what Andrew Neill is doing now.

You and me, baby, we could really go places!    

If I had been his wife I would have told him not to resign his seat, not to be so eager to be kicked upstairs and not be content with exile to Brussels.  And if he had followed my advice PM would be PM by now.

Diane Abbot to explain her views on race to Andrew Neill in a one-hour special?

Andrew Neill should really invite Diane Abbott on his show to explain to the nation in detail her views on race in a one-hour special.

During this time the British public will have a chance to vote by SMS on the question of whether she should be demoted from her post as Shadow Public Health Minister, and give her the thumbs up, or thumbs down.

This unexpectedly delicious entertainment would redound to the credit of Ed Miliband if he were the one tweeting about this proposal and inviting the views of his comrades.

I think it would be enormously entertaining and educational.  In fact, the nation would be AGOG.

This is another fun and free Claire Khaw Idea to add colour and gaiety to British politics.
