The ever-wonderful Lucy Mangan points out the stupidity of politicians targeting female voters in this week's Stylist column.
Apparently our illustrious Prime Minister David Cameron is in a panic over women deserting his party in droves. So much so that he's appointed a special female adviser. Who will, no doubt, recommend all sorts of lovely, un-integrated new policies to do with families, designed to sound good on Loose Women. Because only women, of course, are interested in such matters.
Since when did mothers (all women have kids, right?) have the monopoly on caring about everything to do with having, looking after and educating our nation's children? Like dads are all there sat on the sofa obsessing about defence procurement and transport policy...
Thank heavens Lucy's out there to question this nonsense, at least. Do us a favour, Mr Cameron. Don't bother.
