How angry and sad this line in the Westminster column from 8 November made me:
"If we go on at this rate we will have a House of Commons full of nuns, monks and eunuchs, and that would not be a step in the right direction. We should be governed by normal people – with all the faults and failings that go with that."
Being a nun, monk or eunuch or being a sexual predator is not the only choice open to
"normal people". What's so difficult about just going into work and not perving on other people?
I don't think your columnist would defend other criminal behaviour at work as "normal people's faults and failings".
Women should have the right to just get on with their jobs without having to deal with unwelcome sexual attention at work.
If we want more women to join the transport industry, making lame excuses for sexual harassment and assault in the workplace in one of the main trade magazines is not the way to go about it.
