The idea of ‘women with penises’ is Orwellian, misogynistic drivel.
Remember when it would take a probing question about economic policy or whether we should keep or ditch our nukes to stump a politician? Not anymore. Now the political class is flummoxed, struck almost dumb, by a far simpler query: What is a woman? It used to take a 30-minute televisual grilling by Jeremy Paxman or Andrew Neil on failed policies, broken promises and sex scandals to take the wind out of our political leaders – now it just takes a simple question about biology that most five-year-olds could answer. I’m going to try it. Next time my path crosses with a politician I find annoying, I won’t badger them about their betrayal of Brexit or their failure to defend free speech. I’ll just say ‘Hey, what’s a woman?’ That’s kryptonite to the political elite.
