A message for anyone who supports all women short lists, especially Labour's hierarchy

Copy of a tweet sent to some vocal supporters of AWS:

@LucyMPowell @HarrietHarman @EmilyThornberry etc. As someone who had problems with the party which only stopped when I left it and who knows other members (male and female) who experience similar and worse I have absolutely no doubt that many members have problems but I have zero confidence that anyone in the hierarchy of Labour has the will nor the desire to deal with them, especially anyone who believes that AWS is a solution to fix anything.

I'd apologise for making the above statement but as someone who was fighting inequality long before it became trendy and even a career path for some, a time when unions fought against equal pay for part time workers despite them doing exactly the same job as full time staff, I am getting sick and tired of hearing tick box, join the club, blah blahs.

I'll wait  for replies from all three mentioned but won't be holding my breath while do it.
