The first ever “period dignity officer” in Scotland is facing a fierce backlash after a council was accused of “peak gender idiocy” for appointing a man to the role.
Critics including former world number one tennis player Martina Navratilova hit out at the “ridiculous” appointment with others describing it as “institutionalised mansplaining”.
Baroness Fox accused the government of “peak gender idiocy” while SNP leader Ian Blackford said it would be “far better” if women occupied such roles.
