Jenni Murray: What is the point of women in Parliament if they're too scared to say what a woman is?

Good question, Jenni.

She has written a blistering piece in the Daily Mail expressing her bafflement at the Dodds, Cooper, Sturgeon trio and hands them a lesson in history of women's struggle: "Why then do female politicians, who owe their place in the corridors of power thanks to the efforts of thousands of women who campaigned for their rights, appear unable to define what and who they are?"

There's also an amusing coda to the piece, in which various female writers give their definition of what a woman is.

Who shall answer Jenni's question and call to arms? Not those three, nor her old radio programme either.

Jenni was at the FILIA conference last year and she admitted that the reason she left Women's Hour wasn't because of her age/health but because she was so upset and angered that the BBC no longer trusted her to speak on behalf of women because of the Gender ideology issues. You could see how affected she was by this,and yes, she's bloody furious about this issue,and good for her for speaking out about it!

Jenni's frustration is palpable. She just wants them to stop fart arsing around and step up.

Apart from anything else, it's bloody embarrassing. The more these politicians flounder, the more ridiculous they look.

And yes, I really, really don't want to hear from bloody Thomas what a woman is. Had enough of listening to them rhapsodise about their fake breasts. Absolutely clueless.
