Feminists in the Labour Party are letting Jeremy Corbyn get away with "low level" misogyny, according to one MP.

Jess Phillips told BBC Newsnight on Monday evening the Labour leader needed to promote more women to top jobs in the party.

"What I think is more worrying about the culture in the Labour party is very leftwing feminists are putting up with a lot more than they would of from any other man because Jeremy Corbyn is saying it," she said.

"Had Tony Blair not given any of top jobs to the women - had that same make-up of his team existed - people would rightly have been up in arms."

The Birmingham Yardley MP added: "But it's sort of a bit like some people in the Labour Party are accepting low-level non-violent misogyny because it's Jeremy doing it."

With Corbyn currently reshuffling his shadow cabinet, Phillips also used Twitter to encourage him to ensure two of the four most senior positions went to women.
John McDonnell dismisses charge that Jeremy Corbyn has overlooked women for top jobs:
“It’s interesting. Jeremy said very, very clearly that we don’t accept the hierarchical nature of what we’re inherited by these supposed ‘top jobs’ – they largely stem from the 19th century when we had an empire and all that.

For most people the real top jobs are the ones that provide the services – so health and education – those sorts of things. So he’s broken with that tradition and I’m really pleased. The cabinet looks like it’ll be completely gender balanced, but also all the whole administration I think will be gender balanced and you’ll probably find more women than men in the whole administration as well.”
Some other notes from the programme where this woman was featured:

Corbyn's shadow cabinet is majority female (mentioned multiple times but quickly glossed over except when Evan Davis challenged them on it).
Complaints that the leadership contest resulted in a male leader again, and they would like to see a female leader. Didn't mention the contest was 2 men and 2 women and the "best" was voted in... you know, like it's supposed to be.
Suggestions that when constituencies are re-drawn, female MPs seats should be protected.
Business, health, and education secretaries are all women.
Harriet Harman was briefly featured for some reason (literal embarrassment to Labour imo).

So basically, Corbyn is a non-violent misogynist because he didn't "give" 2 of the 4 "top" jobs to women EVEN THOUGH he chose more than half women for his cabinet overall and gave the 3 main service jobs to women. Labour has a sexist culture because the women - who make up the majority of voters - are mostly electing men. (some) Women within Labour want some sort of guarantee that they won't have to fight for their seats when constituencies get redrawn.

U wot m8?
