My kind of feminist!

-

INCREASING­LY it seems the world is divided into two types of feminists.

There are those like Anne Robinson, who this week told the Radio Times that when she was a young journalist in the Eighties she received plenty of unwanted male attention, but dealt with it by simply telling them where to get off.

‘I never actually clouted a man if he tried to pat my bum because I never attached that much importance to it,’ she said, adding: ‘I just used to sigh and curtly say, “Look, I’m very busy, please don’t waste my time.” I certainly didn’t run crying to the loo.’

And then there is the #MeToo brigade, who cast themselves as helpless victims who require smelling salts if a man so much as pays them a compliment.

I know which type I am.
