The behaviour in the House of Commons is awful at the best of times. You can be passionate about your beliefs without being brutish. There is very little sincerity on display and many are just there to further their own interests, to network and to use it as a stepping stone to advance themselves. This man should have been ejected for his idiotic posturing. His behaviour reveals what we already know: women are hated by these people. The brave MPs, the sincere MPs, are the ones prepared to raise their voices against this pantomime.
I've just been watching a programme about the witch hunts if the 1500's and I feel like we're back there. Women's voices are shouted down with particular vocabulary and accusations like "dog whistle", "bigot", and "transphobe", and women are blamed for hateful words and actions of others. It was refreshing to listen to you, it can be hard to maintain hope.
