I see Women's Minister appears to be continuing her crusade of dragging women back into the dark ages under the guise of feminism.

Feminism is about choice, the right to have one, the right to be equal. It is not about trampling men to in the process. 

Or telling them to resign from roles they have because they're men.

In a speech to these students, she told them that “old white men” need to “move on” from company boards in order to help close the gender pay gap. So in a nutshell, a racist, ageist and sexist statement, but don't let that get in the way of what she regards as a profoundly feminist message.

So old brown men are fine I presume!

Genter told them the gender pay gap had stalled in the last decade.

Which is wrong. It has dropped from 12.5% in 2008 to 9% today – the 5th lowest in the world.
