House of Lords (Hereditary Peers) BillContribution
Amendments 91 and 94 are therefore our latest tilt at gender parity. It is, frankly, embarrassing that 900 years after Baldwin championed Matilda, we are still wrestling with the patriarchal discrimination inherent in male primogeniture. Given the current state of America, the global predominance of big-man geopolitics and the invidious threat of influencers online—I binge-watched Netflix’s astounding “Adolescence” this weekend —the fight against toxic masculinity has rarely been more important.
