First post on this board.
I am on Twitter, and a number of the men I follow (who are mainly left wing) were complaining about the New Year's Honours system as outdated/old school etc. It just really struck me that it was all men...
My personal feeling is that yes there are probably issues with it, but I think that it is better to focus on encouraging diverse nominations (as anyone can nominate) rather than raging against it - there are (IMO) better things to rage against.
I just wondered what others thought? I did want to compare the number of men versus women in the most recent Honours listings, but it reached 79 pages and it has been a tough day of solo potty training!
