Ontario MRA's: How much of a feminist is Andrea Horwath?

It is 100% Feminism^TM as expected; here is the full Ontario NDP platform:

https://www.ontariondp.ca/sites/default/files/Change-for-the-better.pdf

There is an entire section on "Gender Equity" that is entirely about women, or else gender neutral where the status quo is simply unacceptable for MRAs. The platform has plenty of plans to fix things for women and not a single word addressed to men.

"The NDP will update and enforce the Pay Equity Act" - the Pay Equity Act that describes male and female "job classes" in the public sector.
"Equity to corporate boards so that women have better economic opportunities, fairer incomes and face fewer barriers"
"We will fight “pink taxes,” where manufacturers and retailers charge women more than men for similar products and services."
"We will properly fund women’s shelters and transitional housing, and ensure there are services and programs available to help women recover from partner violence and abuse. And we will set aside a portion of the 65,000 units of affordable housing we are building for women and their families escaping violence."
"We will fund 10 days of paid leave for women escaping violence."
"We will put a particular focus on bringing more women into the skilled trades"
"We supported the establishment of the National Inquiry into Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls"

It has gotten to the point where if someone identifies themselves as an NDP party member I assume they are a feminist. The higher up in the NDP party structure they go the more hard core feminist they seam to be.

I wish the tories could find a leader that isn't a freaking lunatic

Imho, as an Ontarian about to vote. I'm still voting NDP because this is only one small issue with an otherwise decent platform. I mean she's a politician and liberal leaning it would be career suicide to not have a section for feminism. This is exactly what I dislike about modern feminism though it's become a staple of liberal politics with no logic or thought behind it. It's basically just pandering. I'm sure she cares about those things but I doubt it's high priority so I don't see it as a big issue.
