Radio 4 May 9th 8pm - Fighting the power of pink
Apparently this covers nature/nurture, history etc.
Woman's hour had (Tory) woman MP pro and (sane) man anti talking about Nadine Dorries 'just say no' (if you're a girl) Her Private Member's Bill will get 2nd reading, but no chance of getting any further. Apparently...don't relax yet

which Tory woman was it?

ElephantsAndMiasmas · 09/05/2011 15:52

It was Louise Bagshawe who voted for it. The opponent from was from a sexual health advisory service so what would he know, eh?

Link?

Or am I pushing my luck?

MummyBerryJuice · 09/05/2011 15:55

Sorry that was cheeky... Will listen to WH on iPlayer now...

ElephantsAndMiasmas · 09/05/2011 15:58

What, another one MummyBerry? :o

I had to turn it off, can't have DS hear me swearing at Woman's Hour.

How was it?

The guy was incredibly sensible, explaining succinctly that abstinence teaching doesn't work and that focussing just on girls is ridiculous.

Teresa Bagshaw (?) sounded really outdated and sexist just like the rest of her party

TimeWasting · 09/05/2011 16:32

So he came out looking best?

MummyBerryJuice · 09/05/2011 16:35

In my opinion, yes. But then there are many nuts out there that agree with the idea that it is a girl's responsibility to say 'no' and that their 'virtue' depends on their celibacy.

I also had to turn it off - was making me far too cross. Louise Bagshawe put Maggie Thatcher forward as her 'greatest ever woman' in a balloon debate they had on WH last year and I was gratified to see her be the first person to be booted out :o

Womans Hour which is really 45mins as the rest is filled up with something that can be heard any time on R4 ie drama
