Laura on the burning issues...

Gay Marriage: Perrins opposes the “radical” redefining of the institution of marriage that came into effect when gay marriage was legitimised under law. “Redefining marriage to include same-sex couples declared that biological sex and the profound differences between men and women were irrelevant,” she writes. She is a staunch defender of defined gender difference and opponent of the “trans-agenda”.

Feminism: “My daughters won’t be poisoned by feminist piffle,” vows Perrins. “If it takes my last drop of blood, I will prevent their minds being warped by this destructive nonsense that tells them they will face a lifetime of discrimination in the workplace and personal attacks on campus,” she writes in The Conservative Woman. “I will protect them from the victimhood that is the sisterhood — so help me God.”

Casual Sex: Perrins disapproves of hook-up culture, which she sees as the cause of “some major emotional problems in our society”. She blames the sexual revolution for the state we are in, and “decades of feminist claptrap that was supposed to emancipate women sexually”.

Career women: Women who channel all their energy into their career during their 20s and overlook “husband-hunting” do so at their peril, warns Perrins. “It is bonkers, really. Of course devoting significant effort to one’s career is sensible at this stage, but to do it to the detriment of ever finding a mate will put you on the road to misery,” she writes.

The Childcare Controversy: Perrins links the fragile “snowflake” sensibilities of millennials with increasing hours in childcare. “This generation of students were probably the first to be put in heavy-duty long hours in nursery care. And this, dear reader is what we produce. Not robust adults thirsting for challenge and rigour, but tender toddler-adults making obscene demands and throwing tantrums when denied it.”
