So I have passed the MP's name on to a whip. I don't betray sources. But I will betray sexists.

Notes from Wikiquote

The Telegraph (print version known as The Daily Telegraph) and other media sources identified the MP as Bob Stewart who dismissed the story as "political correctness". (Syndicated version of the paywalled Bryony Gordon article published by the Sydney Morning Herald).

Politicians often repeat the mistakes of the past – the level of turnover in parliament makes it even more likely that no one will notice.

The message from [Rosie] Duffield's experience is that if you are a woman in politics, you'd better think really long and hard before you dare stick your neck out on issues you really care about – and not because people will argue with you, but because they'll threaten you.

Have been thinking about whether or not to tweet about it, but actually that is NOT on and lobby women shouldn't have to put up with it.
